      before learning about how file management works: fuck yeah let’s pull out that drive, yolo

      After: ok I’m gonna triple check to make sure it’s ejected, replug and check nothing bad happened, then eject it again

            every machine is the same shade of beige

            every desk has a mouse holder. nothing is arranged for any particular comfort while using the computer, but your job is in fact to use the computer

            we don’t speak of uptime here
