Woke up, logged into work at Salesforce. Saw that my coworker had posted casually racist smartass remarks to my teamchat.
I fucking flipped out and logged the fuck out.
Racism isn't cool. It isn't edgy. Fuck you if you think otherwise.
Free speech doesn't mean you are free from consequence.

We worked all day on the testcaster and pickups. But my wife used her skills to make a vinyl print for the headstock.

Experimenting with wood offcuts from my mentor, Brian at Farnsworth Guitars.
These are wide enough for single coil flatwork and thick enough to not break.
I am thinking of testing either 43 AWG formvar or 42 awg formvar. But I have limited supplies of those types. ..

Every fucking day is newsfeeds about rich ass hats who are completely fucking insulted from any real world consequences and how their problems are our problems.

My team at work is obsessed with metrics and "being on top". They keep going on about how being on top is the best etc. They love being on top, etc.
That being said. I had to ask them to stop bottom shaming me. It's a preference, yo.
