Working construction as a teenager, the only time on a jobsite I said, "Nope, not doing that," was when the boss told me to go up one more step on a ladder to hammer a nail in from a super awkward position.

People send me LinkedIn links, and I tell them, "Nope, got no account, can't do anything with that," and they all move away from me on the bench there. Hairy eyeball, and all kinds of things.

This is a perfect encapsulation of where I've ended up, too. Every now and then I'll remember it exists and enjoy an episode, but for the most part I am stuck in full continuity lockout.
