Greg Burek
Relentlessly burned out
- It's me. I'm the equipment
- Grateful for being a packrat about mix tapes and this Willie Nelson song from 1955, The Storm Has Just Begun www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZNO...
- I just sent an email so stressful my ears started ringing
- Please some one cover this song with "It all matters" music.apple.com/us/album/it-...
- My memory palace is just my house and it's a mess
- We are so back
- bsky email 2fa doesn’t work anymore Staring out the window, asking myself “when will my confirmation code return from the war?”
- I’m on PTO staycation, was looking forward to riding my new bike a lot, but now my knee hurts, probably from a slightly too high seat, after yesterday’s ride. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Reposted by Greg BurekAh, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”
- How's it going at work?
- Incredibly jazzed that the horrible chain sounds from my bike were my mistake in routing the chain through the rear derailleur and not something worse
- My maintenance phase is coming up
- Soulwax - Nite Versions - That's just the trauma talking
- Black friday is going great
- Poisoning the well actually
- My router's power supply died and I got it working again by using the power adapter of my bike smart trainer. Real devil's bargain here, trading a way to keep sane (exercise) for a firehose of woe and shit (the internet).

- Hello old friend
- Performance review season in a failing state
- My next therapy session will just 80% be explaining this
- I forgot that personal productivity tech has a pretty large precondition: being absolutely insane
- Over the past year, I had made a lot of progress with reducing stress and knowing the difference between things I can control and things I can't. Now I'm spiraling with how keep my son and family safe from unfettered information warfare.

- I rode my bike trainer for a while to stop thinking
- "But you can wake a man only if he is really asleep. No effort that you make will produce any effect upon him if he is merely pretending sleep."
- I spent too long this weekend setting up sunshine in linux and windows on a old gaming pc, moonlight on an appletv and crafty on a nuc in docker compose controlled systemd unit template. We ended up just playing frog detective.
- Reposted by Greg Burekhey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors
- Evangelion entry plug water bottle
- Now doing neglected chores as side quests to avoid a larger project Why am I like this
- Sort of mad how much I like this notebook that is like my college research notebook (it was $20 at Barnes and noble 🤷)

- Thinking about getting a lot of Terry Prachett books on eBay just to have for my kid to find when they are ready
- Trying to explain twitter clones to family members
- Impossibly disturbed by non stop TikToks of people getting hurt while doing the sport I love. Endlessly amused by reels of folks being destroyed in the sports I don't do.
- Me: sitting and reading my phone. Also me: feeling my empty pocket and saying "oh no. Where's my phone?"
