I've been thinking a lot about how much tech is being implemented "for your convenience!" but it adds so much damn busywork to my daily life. The advance check-in surveys for doctor's appts were today's nonsense. (Times 2, since I'm taking both kids in!)

Instead of appts just taking up the time I allotted on the calendar, they're also now eating into my time the day before. Log in, 2FA, input code, dig around for forms, take photos of my insurance card yet again, etc. Omg just check me in when I get there, I'm drowningggg

Constant newsletters from the kids' schools. Emails with attached flyers with QR codes that I need a second device to scan. The lengths I have to go to in order to avoid downloading anyone's app. The barrage of emails I need to unsubscribe from every time I buy any damn thing. Leave me aloooone ;_;

I've denied access to every one of the apps they want you to sign up for for my kid's school, and I still get the same information emailed to me from two different accounts, sent as a text, and sometimes left as a voicemail.
