I remember being thrilled to move from floppies to a 16mb flash drive for my school assignments, even if I did have to constantly download and reinstall the USB Mass Storage drivers for the Windows 1998 sp2 computers in the library which reset every night. And the transfer speed was SLOW.

The fact that you can get a terabyte flash drive now, which can hold 62,500 of my school assignment drives, is mind blowing to me.

I see why you're ExtraMedicated.

Yes, but this poses me with a self identity dilemma. Am I the type of person who takes a blood pressure medication that happens to treat their adhd, or am I more the sort who takes adhd meds which happen to treat their high blood pressure?

Is it going to still work on blood pressure? I don't like the idea of taking meds because I want to resolve things with diet and exercise when possible, and I'm afraid of side effects. But if I eventually have to start taking a blood pressure medication and the side effect is it makes my ADHD better, I could get on board with that.

"That line's not supposed to ring. Who is it?"

"Sir, it sounds like... you know that movie from the 2010s, the one with the cave people?"

"Ice Age?"

"No. No, not that one. It's got Nick Cage in it."

Grug: "He actually goes by Nicolas."

"What?"

"What?"

Grug: "You can say Nick, it's fine. You've gotta get us out of here!"

That sounds a lot like me! I enjoy adorning the walls of my living space with objects that are not so much functional as they are ornamental. It really helps to lower the internal pressure of my human blood, which is the opposite of what happens whenever I see one of those tacky bus lanes.

Yeah, that's why I work in DevOps. Pre-defined scope.

Guys, I had a really fun idea. You know this great water spitter that is so much fun but only lives outside? I found a way to bring it inside so we can play with it whenever we want. You can thank me now or you can come play first if you're just really excited.

Okay this metaphor is getting kind of weird.
