Sometimes in life you lose clarity. And you find yourself doing things you regret. Things that, if you could, you would erase. Things you are ashamed of. It has happened to me. Impulse, exhaustion, worry, all of these can lead to moments like that.

Today is one of those days. This afternoon I reacted the wrong way, driven by tiredness, completely out of character for me. I regretted it almost immediately, but by then it was too late.
You cannot take back what you have said, and the "wounds" you cause remain and will remain.

Sometimes they resurface after a long time.

This afternoon I advised a client to reinstall Windows 11 on his PC, where Windows 10 is completely stuck.

Yes, I know. I am a terrible person.
