on the eve of october 15th, about time for my yearly sad musing where i try to add up all the wasted time and energy by all the super talented people who could be writing cool stuff and are instead writing a bunch of cover letters yet again

This guy jumped on my laptop and managed to entirely delete the same footnote TWICE

It’s tough being in a mixed TSA pre check relationship
