Bad case of novovirus and the cooker broke down Christmas Eve.

Being sick AF. People came into work sick because of our asinine sick policy, and now they're better while I've been bed ridden for 3 days.

Flu ravaged my house this Christmas.

I wouldn't say that anything ruined Christmas for me this year but there was some unfortunate circumstances with some of my gifts.

For example, I asked for an original Xbox controller with a USB adapter. I got them and they work perfectly fine in Linux but they don't work at all in Windows, which potentially limits how much usage I can get out of them. Apparently, Windows 10 blocks the drivers required to use the adapter, which if I had known I probably would've just asked for a generic USB Xbox controller instead (if they exist).
