Been looking for a good reason to leave Twitter anyway: not convinced it's a good use of my time.
I may check in from time to time, but will probably go dark here. Look for me on https://t.co/GlogHLIN1e if you need me--not that any of you likely will.
I rarely ask for help on this bird site, but my niece has been dealing with a severe mystery illness for 2.5 years.
If you could, please consider supporting my amazing niece and her family. The financial burden is starting to take a toll.

@RobotMakerGirl My mother worked as a "draftsman"--the traditional name for the field where CAD/CAM has become so crucial.
Perhaps if you described his interest as drafting, they might understand better.
@lazerwalker@Apple Microsoft did me one better. They deprecated their XNA toolkit and revved compiler versions, so I literally could not rebuild my products. Then they expired my appstore apps that I hadn't updated recently enough.
@SullyBusiness The more I've earned in my career the more guilt I've felt over making bank while sitting in an airconditioned office typing, knowing that the team who picks up trash in my neighborhood is up at 4am getting paid minimum wage to haul rotting filth away in the rain. It's backwards.
@swilliamson1951 @KenWheatley5@marcusmilla @unfilteredMel83 Exactly what I needed to hear right now. Trying very hard not to burn my way out before I can realistically retire. Note to self: hanging in there just a little longer can work.
Thank God for Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Because every time I think I'm a bad person and I've screwed up my life in some way, I can look at these two despicable reprobates and realize that, no, I've done pretty well overall.
