#FluSeason is trending here. Appropriate considering I barely survived a fight with a virus this past week. I'm certain it was Norwalk. Had all the symptoms. Took me and my wife out - days in bed with fever and vomiting.

Ontario pub health is so bad... #ontario #healthcare #publichealth

I can never remember my login here...

Which is fine I guess... not sure where everyone is but they aren't here

Canada should offer Trump to take California off his hands right now.

Score a burning hot deal.

3pm crash on the 1st day back to work is real.

I feel like one of those 80s cartoons where they use toothpicks to keep their eyes open

Back in the office after 2 weeks off with my teacher-wife and kid. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is LOL

It's not that I don't love them. It's that I gotta keep myself together for them. I can't just wallow in my depression.

I've been doing a bit of a social media 'fast' over the last 3 weeks. I think it's helped my mental health. But more than anything, it's helped save me a ton of money by not seeing posts from my favorite retailers. Let's see how long I can keep it up #adulting #mentalhealth #socialmedia #depression

Been home with my teacher-wife and kid for 2 weeks.

I'm ready to return to the office... for an indefinite amount of time. For as long as they want me to be in the office. I'll even do it for free if they ask.

1st Week of 'Winter Break' sees my teacher-wife bring home a virus from school that rips through our home. Our Massive Christmas dinner plans were ruined as we were stuck in bed for 4-5 days.

Finally better, we have 1 week left to 'enjoy' - hurray!

Working on a Saturday thanks to someone else's poor planning and management.

It's an employer's market. Nobody is hiring or hiring at low wages. Everyone is kinda just stuck at bad jobs because high interest mortgages don't pay themselves.

LA LA LA LAST DAY! of school for my teacher-wife and 7y/o

But also last day of work for 2 weeks as I finally use my vacation days!

The last few years, because of poor planning and mismanagement I've been working on Christmas day. This year the laptop stays off!

My kid's teachers are like "JUsT 2 mOre DAys!!!"

I'm like "You're not open next week? You can't take them for another week???" LOL

I like how cooler weather reminds you when your nose hairs are getting a little long.

Like does that feel like a stray boogie or do you need a trim?

Crawling through traffic. Every single route on my commute to work was snarled by either construction or accident.

This whole return-to-office mandate after 4yrs of working from home is the biggest kick in the nuts.

I haven't needed to take more than 5 vacation days over the last few years because I've been working from home and had a decent work/life balance.

Now that I've been forced back into the office, you damn right I'm taking ALL my time off.

2 weeks off using just 5 days!

Slowly weening myself off Instagram & Facebook after I told a "feet pics" joke and an hour later I was served a bunch of feet pic ads 😳

Twitter too toxic
IG/FB too intrusive
Mastodon too high-brow

There aren't a lot of viable social media networks left...

Not sure how far this will reach,

But anyone have any tips or tools I can use on my commute to work driving directly into the blazing sun for 30mins?

I can't see anything. My eyes hurt once I get to work. Sunglasses and visors don't cut it. Staring at the sun

Survived driving into work on the first snow fall of the Toronto area today.

Been working from home for 4 years. Totally forgot how to drive in snow. Don't even have snow tires. It was intense!

Forbes really posted this 🤣….don’t get me wrong there are some great rappers on the list but when you put Drake at 6 and Rakim at 21 you lose all credibility….oh and Bad Bunny is on the list and KRS-One isn’t www.forbes.com/sites/entert...

This time every year I pretend like I really need a massage chair and shop around weighing out the different brands and price points.

Ultimately I get overwhelmed and ditch the idea until next year 😑
