just trying to get bi

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

"Smooth edges of screen fonts"

My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.

Y'all.

I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.

Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:

Then you'll see this:

TURN IT ALL OFF.

10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.

Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")

Inej: what does this mean?

Matthias: it’s…not what it looks like

Inej: you have another gym partner?!

Matthias: no! Well…yes,but it’s only temporary and…You said we were on a break…

Inej scoffs

Matthias: well we never said we were exclusive and besides, you never want to do heavy lifting

Inej: oh right? Well I hope it worths betraying all of our times for “lifting”

Matthias knocking the door: come on Inej, I already apologized

Kaz: she is not talking to your dirty cheating arse

Wylan: this is ridiculous, she can’t be mad you have another gym partner. It’s like if Kaz was mad at me for playing chess with other guys

Kaz: well but you don’t do that

Wylan: …

Kaz: no…

Wylan: I was alone! And you were on a trip,and he had a crystal board and…one thing let to another

Kaz: I can’t believe it!

Wylan: he actually lets me use the black ones!

Kaz: Oh so now it’s my fault!

Wylan: I don’t mean that! It’s just that you constantly neglected my needs
