Hey, @themanwithnoname.
Greetings and salutations!
I guess I've been more like you over the last now quite a few months since I haven't really been producing anything, but I still check in nearly daily for several minutes at least, mostly to peruse my feed and see if there's anything on trending worth reading.
Otherwise, I'm finding myself still burnt out from writing, which is something I didn't think would ever be possible. I think with the right incentives or motivations, the desire to post here would come back, but the physical real requires tender that people will accept for bills, food, clothes, etc., and since material commerce hasn't arrived on HIVE (though a few brave pioneers have tried to some degree or another), I'm stuck with chasing the old mighty dollar. The right people aren't just there yet as far as making HIVE, or for that matter, any other cryptocurrency into more than something worth investing in for a day or two, or whenever the next uptick loses steam.
I don't have one of those coins, but it's awesome. Has to be one of my favorites. :)
Sorry to hear you got burned out. Blogging was fun for a while, but it went downhill at some point. Are you still working the same gig or got something new?
Hey, @themanwithnoname.
Just realizing I failed to reply to this. My deepest and sincerest apologies for that.
Yeah, I'm still working for the coin-op machine company. After being laid off for close to two months thanks to the governmental reaction to the coronavirus here in Oregon, I've been more or less back to working the hours I was before it happened, less a couple hours a week.
I've been given more to do, so I guess that means they want me around, and I have been slowly picking up on how to toubleshoot and repair things, though I need to figure out how to do that at a faster pace. The way things are done, it's just not conducive to learning other than on site, which mostly isn't where you want to fumble around for an hour or two trying to figure out how to fix something.
Other than that, I find myself liking a lot of what I do, so I think that's cool. I'd rather have my own business, but this one has been around for over 40 years and so has a lot going for it just by inertia. Me starting out now, though I would it keep it really small, would be kind of hard, unless I could figure out that niche everyone dreams of finding but never do.
Anyway. Glad to see you around, even if it takes me five days to respond. :)
