    To keep your sanity you just have to lower your expectations.

    I, for example, am really stoked for the burrito I ordered. Fuck, it’s good to be alive.

          • Recently took apart and repaired a broken clothes washer that I couldn’t afford to replace at the moment so I feel this same sense of dopamine hitting.

            Feels good lol

        Is it hard? I’ve built several PCs and repair seems like a good line of work for me, but I know nothing about the individual components of the parts

          Yes and no! It’s a difficult initial process if you have no idea but becomes extremely easy once you know how PCs work.

          Knowing how to diagnose problems is I feel a more difficult part. It’s more complicated than knowing “These parts go there and have cables that connect to the CPU switch, main power and hard drives” because cables and parts, to a huge degree, can only fit where they belong.

          I imagine in the line of PC repair work you’ll encounter much more complicated issues and often multi-part damage. Also probably a lot of filth, I heard most normal people NEVER clean their PCs, change Thermal Paste or even let some nasty bugs accumulate in their PC.

          Bonus points for if it’s a laptop instead of a PC. Their tight compact nature makes repairing them hell I’d imagine. BONUS bonus points if you’re working on an outdated PC who’s parts you can’t just easily swap out.

      You ever had a deep fried burrito? That shit is life changing and good enough reason for me to keep going.

        Something called a chimichanga in my neck of the woods. You can get one smothered or dry. You can even get one stuffed with fruit and covered with sweet and spicy sauces

      They tell you that the sky might fall
      They’ll say that you might lose it all
      So I run until I hit that wall
      Yeah I learned my lesson, count my blessings
      Look to the rising sun and run run run
