ThinkPad

every time i see a thinkpad i'm reminded of my first IT job cannibalizing hard drives, keyboard, screens, touchpads, and pointers from other broken thinkpads to save money and make the department's budget balance a little bit better while the company raked in billions of dollars every quarter.

i mean to sound nostalgic more than bitter because it was FANTASTIC company to work for at the time and things like the smell of a brand new thinkpad out of its plastic or the sounds of keyboard snapping into place and the black & red aesthetic always takes me back like some old man remembering better days. lol
