I had to upgrade my Mac to Sequoia (15.0.1) because I need to run Slack on it for my new job. Naturally, this broke a lot of my existing apps and made Firefox look like it forgot everything, because why start up with the profile the user was already using when you can make him panic by presenting a fresh slate to suggest you’ve lost all history, bookmarks and passwords?
Anyway, I’ve got that back, and I can blog, but fixing all the changes (including finally having to buy a new version of MS Office), and the new job are going to eat up a fair amount of my time, so expect some terse blogging this week. Which, I know, is less than ideal the week before the election. It is what it is.
Oh, and I still can’t run Slack, because it needs to validate on a browser to activate, and it says my already-updated Firefox is still too old.

Congratulations on your new job!
Don’t sweat it. At this point I doubt there is much anyone can say that will change minds anyway.
I must insist you take down that picture of me you’re using to illustrate this post. You still can’t prove I have anything to do with your computer problems.
Congratulations on the new job! Hope it’s something you’re happy to do and has good potential
Unless you have extreme compatibility requirements (i.e. Excel macros or Outlook) Libre Office may be an alternative to spending on Microsoft Office. https://www.libreoffice.org/
Congratulations and much success in your new job. I know the feeling of relief after finally finding work after an extended period of unemployment. Mine lasted almost three years in the mid-80s, and once I got back to work I started saving very diligently for both short-term and long-term (401k) purposes. I resolved to accumulate as much FU money as possible, and in retirement it definitely paid off. All the best.
Glad you are working.
I have to say, “upgrade” is a very deceptive word.
It implies things will get better. How often does it?
Congratulations on finding your new job— I hope it works well for you. Of course you’ll need to make that your focus, it’s understandable the blog will need to take a back seat for a time.
Congrats on the new job!

Congratulations on the job. Admin and technical always seem to be harder than doing thd thing you were actually paid to do.

Congrats on the new job. Just wanted to share some Firefox sympathy. I also have had Firefox lose everything.
Congrats on the new gig!
