Welcome to the new norm, right?
Its hard to imagine it back to 2019. Can’t get people to show for interviews / work at more than double the pay of 2019, something like 40 container ships sitting in SoCal oceans, saw NYC / east coast is getting backed up, etc. Holiday stuff is going to be a blast / expensive.

Like burnt out, don't want to do this anymore, I've had enough tired. Just the things I'm dealing with today: The last few days, all of my spare time has been related to reviewing options to replace a part which has become unobtainum. Like as in, manufacturer has moved from a long lead time to 'don't bother asking'. This seems to happen on a recurring basis now (with different parts) - versus pre-covid it was maybe once every year or two (since I'm careful to select parts to avoid this issue). I've had one part I've had to switch vendors on like 6 times now. And it's not just parts, my enclosure manufacturer for the rackinjectors sent us this gem today: "We had the enclosures ready for pickup since last week, but our road is under maintenance and the whole street got ripped off. My forklift is not able to get off from our driveway to the road because the step is very steep. I heard the city will start paving tomorrow. Hopefully we can load the pallet by Wednesday." Can we please go back to the way it was in 2019 sometime soon? -- - Forrest
