What are you using as a firewall?

That’s my half-assed neutral statement. I choose not to eat processed foods. As long as there’s disclosure, I don’t care.
What people eat or don’t eat is their business.

Fuck 'em, squid. I’ve seen many of your posts/comments. Stupid you ain’t.
“rrred-dit”… that sounds familiar… 🤔

Want some? Says the Canadian.
Nope. As a Linux user, even I’m annoyed.
I’ve seen people ask legitimate Windows troubleshooting questions and then don’t get an answer but dozens, if not more, messages to switch to linux.
It drives people away.

Nope. Your opinion is not my identity.
Absolutely. Almost never use it anyway.
Yes!

What sort of person would be able to help me?
You.
Goals.
A car is not useful without a direction. A life is more useful with goals.
Where do you want to be in 10 years? If you don’t know, pick something. As you gain direction toward your goal, you can refine the goal. Or, since you have momentum, switch direction even.
Break down your 10-year goal. Smaller and smaller goals, 5 year, 2 year, this year, next month.
How can you help yourself? Find someone who can coach you with setting goals. A little easier than finding someone who can help you with your “life”.
I’m sorry you got stuck with that. I too worked evenings and weekens. But I left. They ended up hiring three people to replace me.
I took a risk and exited IT. I now manage technical teams and projects in the dental industry.
I understand the usefulness of good video content, I was simply responding to the fact that this IT guy chooses to read rather than watch.
And your rant highlights a very common theme in corporations today. And not everyone has the freedom or the option to slide out from under it.
As for boomers, fuck 'em. I don’t look down on the younger generations. I see smart young people trying wade through the crap us boomers left behind. And trying to navigate a shitty corporate world.
I hope opportunity knocks for you.
