I loved work before I had a girlfriend.
I had nothing to do, it was my strongest outlet for social connections. I was praised. I was paid well.
Now that I have a long-term partner that I really enjoy spending time and traveling with. It's terrible, lol. I can't imagine how I feel after a few kids.
- acchow 3y agoSo you're telling me I should ditch the partner....
- qup 3y agoAND the work
- lawgimenez 3y agoCoding while having a hyper toddler in the background running and jumping is something else.
- htatche 3y agoI don't want to be that guy, but here we go: get a pair of AirPods if you haven't yet. I'm in the same situation as you and it - oh no, that guy again - changed my life.
- Probiotic6081 3y agoWhy airpods specifically? I recommend the Truthear Hexa, like 1/3 of the price with better tips and far superiour audio quality
- pcthrowaway 3y agoWouldn't airpods be more likely to be swallowed by the toddler than over-ear headphones?
- pseudocomposer 3y agoThere are over-ear AirPods.
- lawgimenez 3y agoYep definitely getting the AirPods this Xmas time. I prefer the earphones because losless but our kid is just everywhere.
- financltravsty 3y agoI think it was Scott Locklin who observed (I'm sure not the first!) that significant others preclude you from anything that requires great focus. Throw children into the mix and... what focus? Haven't heard her name in years.
- analyticcadep 3y agoCurious to hear more about this theory?
- financltravsty 3y agoIt seems like you may be shadow-banned, so I've vouched for your comment. But his observation isn't some theory or anything put-together; more of an aside while he was ranting about Alfred Lee Loomis.[0] See for yourself if it tracks.
