My to-do list today is:
1) *some actual work task*
2) Try not to have a nervous breakdown
3) *Retake a work survey so I can complain about something I forgot to complain about*
4) Figure out how to take that wellness day PTO I supposedly have.
Things are not well over in Mattland.

Love it when you have a git problem and the best resource you found is a Stack Overflow thread from 2018 saying "Something is definitely odd here..."
