Good days and bad days. I have a car, place to live, food in my fridge and cupboards and money in my bank account. Maybe one day I’ll be able to pick up and move somewhere cheaper but in the meantime, one day at a time.

Some days I honestly don’t know. I work for AWS in one of their many data centers as a critical facilities technician.

3-4 hours a day, working minimum 12 hour shifts, usually 13-14, 4 days a week, 3 days when I can.

My thumbs used to bend back 90° or more but after years of abusing them and a few injuries, severed tendon here and there, they only bend forwards and straight up now :/

This 1000%. I picked up a t480s a number of years ago and I couldn’t be happier with it. Came with a half dead battery that was easily replaced. Lasts a good 6 hours on a charge and does everything I need a laptop to do.
