Polt's Palace: Gifs

Wednesday, August 19, 2026

So, thirty years ago, August 19, 1996, was my first day in this job.

Thirty....fucking....years. I have now spent more of my life here, at this job, sitting at this deck (albeit in several different chairs over the years), dealing with basically the same shit, than I have NOT here. (I was 28 when I started here).

How is that possible?

Ah well....
