DoA #22

Welcome to Dead on Arrival- the place to catch up on all things Hashtag.

Shit, I had a clever story lined up for this intro, but then I realized I hadn’t taken my allergy pill. That led me to the kitchen, where I was distracted by my phone because it bugs me that Apple News allows me to block publications but just shows the grayed-out icon and the title of the blocked article??? Who does that? Then I wondered if I should revive my attempts to use Pocket to save things to read, but that lasted about two seconds before I was browsing my other RSS feeders on my way back to my office.

Where I realized I hadn’t taken my allergy pill.

🏕️ Hashtag Survival: Upcoming

On Tuesday I’m hoping to bang out articles for the sales - both gaming and non- and the tips article I mentioned yesterday. I’d also like to prep something for Reddit for Wednesday, but less certain if I can pull it off.

So as it stands right now I’m off work Weds/Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun. On Monday I have a doctor's appointment that’s supposed to function as the “pre-op” appointment for my throat surgery at the end of December. This Wednesday Becca and I will get our Covid boosters, so assuming that I don’t feel like shit after (I have for the past ones, but she hasn’t), I’m hoping to be SUPER productive this long weekend.

💙 Diversions

🎵 Music: One of my favorites- and it’s such a banger if you’re wearing a fantastic headset.

‌➡️ Most Used: Seriously, how did I function without CleanShot X???

‌📚 Fun Consumption: Taking a swing back through the Belgariad Universe.

‌🎮 Game: I caved; it was finally on a deep enough discount that I snagged Oregon Trail. (FFS though, I just realized there’s also DLC damnit.)

‌#️⃣ Best Hashtag Moment: Welcome, Matt! (Or, welcome mat!)
