My relationship with #godot over the holidays:
"Why can't Godot be more opinionated with this stuff?"
"Why can't the addon/template devs be less opinionated with this stuff?"
[implementing it myself]: "I have no opinion on this stuff."
🙄I'm self-aware enough to know this isn't productive...

With all the nationality laws changing so fast everywhere, I'm starting to wonder if I should actually make sure to go out of my way and lock in my right to a Canadian passport as well

I wish we could have job shadow day as adults. It'd be so much fun to watch pros in this or that discipline do their thing for a day

Ughhhh! Got another rejection for a job whose description literally word for word matches my last two years of employment due to "profile not matching".

Waiting for too many emails simultaneously. Like 5 different emails with massive life impact, so if I'm manic it's all `F5`'s fault.

Three days a week in office _isn't_ hybrid! That's just in-office, with a minor WFH allowance.

Why do I have to write shit all weird sometimes? While writing an application I followed a checklist, and it was written like "In the last 5 years, have you ...".
So I wrote that I haven't done crime in the last 5 years. I meant ever!

It's frustrating to apply for a job listing I'm a perfect fit for, be rejected because they allegedly filled it, and then continue to see dozens of fitting listings and then hear them pop up on the news as expanding their hiring further, like.... hello?

Serendipity is when there is a one-leg train directly between the two small cities that usually would take me between 4 and 8 legs.
Reality is when this train is so delayed I might miss the last bus home. :|

The best translation errors happen when it's the most important not to have them. In front of prospective landlords, Standesamt, bosses, etc.

It's so amusing seeing Telekom ads for "Vollgas!" with a coax cable (or sometimes fiber optic) when all they are selling in the ad region is overpriced VDSL
