The date for the wedding has been set!

Wait, did you even ask her out?

Nah, she doesn’t even know me yet

    And don’t forget: if one woman can “produce” a baby in nine months, nine women should be able to do it in one.

      I can’t count how many times I had to explain this exact analogy to a sales person I felt like I was losing my mind sometimes.

      I don’t miss working in tech, 15 years of my life was enough.

        I am so tired of my tech job. Producing next year’s landfill is how I describe it.

        May I ask what you do for income these days?

          The upside of tech is they pay way too much, especially once you become an exec. Set aside enough money that I can live off my reserves, been designing board games, doing art commissions, and selling books and t-shirts since 2020. None of those earn me much, it’s a lot of work for barely any income, and I’ve had to downscale my lifestyle, but it’s much healthier this way. Zero regrets.

          Similar story to most of the other people I worked with 10 years ago, and the tech world wonders why they have a hard time finding senior employees these days…

      To be fair, if you stagger them and keep impregnating one of them every month (and ignore that nine months is an approximation with significant variability, and that women can’t get pregnant immediately after giving birth) you will eventually be getting one baby every month. You’ll still need to wait nine months for the first one, though.

      It’ll be horribly stressful and unhealthy for the women and the babies, and many of them will die and need to be replaced, but when have managers cared about that?
