I'm generally stoic but the last 5 months have really tested me. The task in front of me is computer programming, but the work I am actually doing is mostly technical support. The torture is wanting to do that coding and staring at a screenful of code and wanting to jump off the balcony next to me.

Hey Blurt! Amor Fati
I am a coder too! The Stoics may say to try to focus on something positive in your situation and something to be grateful for. Cool username by the way...my friend and I were making gin drinks called 'Lokis' the other night haha
That cocktail was named after me. It was invented by one of the founders of this project, @jacobgadikian... And why did such a peculiar cocktail get named after me? Because I'm a bit too partial to drinking, I especially like Gin like especially Bombay Sapphire (I hear there is better, though, some name involving monkeys) and most importantly:
I am salty like the green juice of a jar of olives...
I never quite understood exactly where this adjective 'salty' came from. Something about tears and stinging wounds, idk.
