Damn server's gone down again right in the middle of my periodic reread. I take this very personally indeed

this needs to be bought by me

They prefer the term "deceptively simple"

 

Yup it’s ridiculously difficult from what I’ve heard.

Congrats and good luck, because it's hard to get a dog right now! My friend in Brooklyn just got one and it was crazy.

It turns out maybe contact tracing during a pandemic is not a chill way to do your first techie job. Mostly 50-60 hour weeks and intermittent 70 hour ones in the past couple months. The good news is I get overtime so I’m getting biweekly paychecks that are more than what I used to make in a month.

Also we’re getting a dog. No leads yet but finally got written permission from the landlord. He’s a real piece of work but after some tense phone calls the leaks in our ceiling are fixed and the heat is on so I’m good. Maybe Suspiciously Large Apartment in Brooklyn is a hint that some struggles are coming. It’s cute but sometimes hard not to think about how in Philly or Chicago we could have a way nicer place for a lot less $$$.

Keith what up! I'm a stay-at-home dad right now, have a two-year old little guy. After 12-13 years in financial services I was miserable so we decided we could survive on one income at least for a while. It's been pretty great for the most part. Glad to hear you're doing well.

What are you listening to these days?
