i don't know why but im really depressed right now. maybe it's the winter here in michigan that's got me down ? i mean im happily married, we just had a baby. but on the down side ive been out of work for along time and it really sucks because i cannot find anything. i love x-mas and new years but for some reason im not as excited this year so far.

does anybody else get down and out in the winter months ? :(

I love the winter. The soft white snow just laying on the ground covering any imperfections on the ground. The occasional snowman, and the roar of a snowmobile. =]

Agreed. Winters here are long, and despite it getting so cold, I prefer it over summer. I find myself spending more time with friends indoors & outdoors, and the air feels cleaner.

But not right now, though. Right now it's this slush crap that comes before the actual snow, and my pants are wet. :crazy:

Yeah, I prefer the winter as well, but then again I'm an odd one like that and usually feel rather bummed in the heat of the summer. Hopefully everything will freeze stiff here soon, though. The roads are disgusting and my coat gets dirty if I even look at my car - just about any weather beats precipitation at 0?C.

Work gives a bit of meaning to life. Like you make a bigger difference in the world. When you don't work, you're more prone to sickness, depression, yadda ya...

When you don't work, you're bored. And usually you won't be happy when you're bored. Makes sense I guess.

So get out there and hunt down that job. Anything it better than nothing. It's healthy for you. :)

I don't really care for winter all that much cause it's no longer that special to me. I work full time and only get one day off for Christmas, not like when I was in school and I got a few weeks or a month. Winter now to me means that I get dripped on by cold water and snow when I work on cars.

Could be SAD?

It's quite common

might be that and lack of working getting me down too.

I would say you have SAD. YOur job situation along with the current ecinomical climate, does not help matters.

Just try to think possitive and keep yourself as busy as possible with job hunting and chores.

I suffer SAD and it gets worse because this time of year is very quiet at work, so i have more time to think, so i have to find things to keep myself occupied, otherwise i will become sad and unhappy for really, no good reason.

    • The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
