I can empathize. I went back to work a month ago now. It was/is hard to be unavailable.
Luckily, I work from home in a fairly independent role and my wife is still on leave, so we’re still largely co-parenting. We could afford to have me stay at home, but we’re saying that the extra I make above the truly wild cost of daycare will go to his education, financial security, and cultural enrichment.
We’re also telling ourselves that daycare will be a positive/important social experience for him because we have a small friend group locally and family is halfway across the US.

I think we’re only missing Wham! Last Christmas for my nightmare list from working retail.
Well, and anything from the Amy Grant Xmas album, but that’s my dad’s fault.
Oh wait, can’t forget Christmas shoes… (Shudders involuntarily).

TRS-80 then IBM PCjr here. Both hand-me-downs though.
Mom wouldn’t let me on the 386 until I could touch-type and write a program in BASIC. She was a Cobol and IBM RPG programmer.

“Vexillophile” is a word you probably won’t ever need again.

Omg thank you for the money!
- Comment on God did not intend for us to fold fitted sheets, and if you can it's witchcraft. 3 months ago:
It’s really not bad with full elastic bands. Make a rough square using the point of the corners as one corner and the only non-elastic fold as the opposite. Just flop the sloppy elastic to the inside. I then fold in thirds and again in thirds. Just fold the weird parts to the inside each time.
My wife still thinks it’s magic after 20 years.
- Comment on The Steam Controller's stick is upgradeable! 4 months ago:
It is. I even got it working wirelessly once for shits and giggles using USB/IP.

Also don’t forget your locking nut key for those pesky lock nuts
Leaving only those will make for a bigger surprise a few minutes later when they take a corner at speed. Or hit a bump.

Battery powered impact driver plus a deep socket set = you can remove lug nuts or bolts (securing a wheel to a vehicle) in very quick fashion.
- Comment on These mugs are getting out of hand 4 months ago:
You joke, but we learned “tons” and “metric tons” in elementary school.
I assume it’s the reason “metric” is used as an adjective this way.

Oh man, I grew up with those intercoms on the top right.
So weird to see them again.
- Comment on Well, shit. 5 months ago:
Yep. Ran a config as code migration on prod instead of dev. We introduced new safeguards for running against prod after that. And changed the expectations for primary on call to do dev work with down time. Shifted to improving ops tooling or making pretty charts from all the metrics. Actually ended up reducing toil substantially over the next couple quarters.
10/10 will absolutely still do something dumb again.

Reminds me of the old gas shaver kit my grandpa gave me on my 13th birthday.
