I installed Folding@Home on the Pro Tools monster to beat Coronavirus. Then I installed Ubuntu in a VM to fuck around with crypto for a while. Then the motherboard fried. I have since bought two soundcards, returned one, spent a dozen hours on tech support with four different companies and have gone from 40 faders of Pro Tools domination to zero.

I have about 130lbs of technology in boxes up on eBay right now. It's fucking with me. 'cuz you can't buy shit right now because every out-of-work gamer is spending his stimulus check on chips and every tech company is building servers. Meanwhile I had to call out Native Instruments on Twitter to try and get them to un-fuck something they fucked to deal with Apple fucking them and I haven't opened Logic in three goddamn years.

Theoretically I'll replace the monster. Theoretically I'll replace the faders. But I'm realizing that I specialize in dead industries. Jewelry. Watchmaking. Audio mixing.

I have been fighting with my coworkers about whose responsibility it is to make sure we don't all die of Coronavirus. My argument is "the union" and their argument is "we don't have time for that" and it's like nobody is going to fuckin' die if we don't make a fuckin' TV show.

Meanwhile I've become the veterinarian at work. The animals all hate me but they need their shots so every time I show up six women who are actually cats his at me from behind the couch cushions.
