Definitely do not want to go to work today

Just sick of having to pretend to be cheery and talkative when that isn't me at all. Constantly wearing a mask is draining af.

At this point in my career, I care less and less about decorum. I tell it like it is, and that sometimes ruffles a few feathers. I sit in some meetings with reserved, polished, political people. I am just an absent minded professor. I am open about my troubles and weaknesses. It is such a a strange dynamic.

I hope to never become like these people. But I know shit, so they need me more than I need them. I help out a lot. I fix technical problems related to math or computer programs (yet I am clueless about hardware or operating systems -- call IT folks, not me!).

I took today off, though!

I retire in 6 years. They have that long to train my replacement!
