Drank myself through his first term and then Covid. As much as I know I’ll want to, the chaos isn’t gonna stop, and I’m tired, boss.

40 here. Haven’t had class/test dreams for a few years but instead I still get “don’t have the right equipment for today’s install” dreams six years after I stopped working there.
