I forgot how terrible the original Xbox controller was. I think they’d redesigned it by the time I bought one, but I remember playing at a friends house on that giant one. Would love to know who thought that was a good layout.
Talked to my manager today, told her if I didn’t see $11,780 added to my salary, there would be, probably, consequences. Said just tell HR she counted wrong.
Internal monologue —

The only thing worse than technology that doesn’t work, is when it only works some of the time.
I sold all my Bitcoin last night. I made 5x what I invested two years ago.
