Hi. I'm Jack.
I'm an old man in terms of being online.
This is where I scream into the void.

Do not ever retweet anything I post here.
I love invisible injuries.

I fell while shoveling snow yesterday, and while it doesn't hurt nearly as much as it does yesterday, it still fucking hurts.

But when I look at my back in the mirror? Nothing. No bruising or anything. So I have no idea if it's getting better.

I have made a CRITICAL error in my snow storm preparations.

I did not get myself anything to drink.

This is awful. What have I done?

I love when the reward for doing my job well is other people's work.
Especially when it becomes real clear that they're not doing what they need to.

Funny? thing happened at work today.

Turns out I'm one of like... two people who wrote down some important stuff that we need for a meeting tomorrow.

So when I got home I had to pull out last years notebook, find where I took the notes, and then send it to everyone who *should* have it.

My water heater went out yestertday. Had hoped that it'd have just fixed itself but no dice. Had to clean up my apartment some and then call my landlord about it.

Thankfully I still have heat since that's a different system but no hot showers or doing laundry or dishes until it's fixed.

Woke up in horrible pain due to swollen sinuses pressing against my teeth. I hate being sick so fucking much.

Need to scream into the void for a minute:
There is an object on my desk that is causing me immense amount of shame.
It should not be causing me shame but it's a shame I've already internalized.

Hey there.

No idea what brought you here but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
