@useless_modern_god @Seagoon_ let the right one in
@Duenan @RustyRaven I went thru a “half a shot of decent espresso plus a bit of decaf instant powder so it doesn’t taste too weak” phase when tapering
@MeanElevator @RustyRaven cutting down slowly is very wise
@CEOofmyhouse56 @RustyRaven
one a week because I hate fun and life
@RustyRaven @CEOofmyhouse56 I’m 49 and heavily addicted to caffeine but take a few months break every 12-18 months. My time from decaf to more energized is 5 weeks.
@halferect @ajsadauskas yet simultaneously a lot smaller than it looks in Mercator

@CEOofmyhouse56 I’m not sure… I quite like having just the one holiday that slaps itself randomly into my calendar… Easter is always Mon/Fri, xmas is always a week off, the rest are Mondays.
@CEOofmyhouse56
Two things can be true at the same time right.
I’ll help out whenever and wherever I can to get the sick date that commemorates the start of a genocide shifted to a different day, but whenever my day off work is granted by the powers that be, I’m gonna party on that day.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt
Pretty similar in terms of repetitiveness.
Better in that I’m involved in a couple of longer term projects like running a Community of Practice and developing some internal standards for the org.
Work, eh.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @TinyBreak
I have been internal IT for four years after a long time at MSPs, mostly on-site but sometimes off.
Overall, yes, my career progressed slower. But I was able to work for client companies in a wide variety of sectors, and that helped me understand what sector I wanted to be in, so, swings & roundabouts.

@CEOofmyhouse56 we’re so surrounded by screens… I just never saw the point in buying another screen where someone else schedules the programming.
