Thank you for your post, Hazel looks a lot like Fiona
The highlight of my day is the iced coffee my wife made for me for my drive to work.
I have a software development job where the lack of direction is anxiety inducing. Today I was able to work for about 10 minutes before I hit a dead-end (unreproducible bug, no logs) now I'm waiting to hear back on scheduling a call with the customer and browsing Lemmy until I get to go home.
I feel insane pretending to look busy so that digital currency can be moved from one column to another, and in turn the global economy decides that I am allowed to have food, housing, and healthcare (USA).
