    Are my posts that bad that they cause actual pain? I had no idea I was this powerful, sorry.

        I am dialing back my posting energy 25%, it’s the best I can do until my caffeine wears off.

            I already have several, I’m not working at one of them right now!

              Use the time to get an education, so you can find one that pays you more than minimum wage. There’s a joke about bootstraps somewhere in this ;)

                It’s super cool transitioning so I can get paid less at work (and find it way harder to get hired at jobs I’m actually qualified for) and then told I should educate myself when I complain about it online. Are bootstraps what my landlord uses to raise rent $500/year?

                    I’ve worked in electronics assembly for years, and I have a math undergrad. Maybe I could get a masters and teach? but that seems like a lot of investment for dubious payout.
