I have noticed over the last few years that my hodge-podge of rural Midwestern accents have started getting more prominent in increased social isolation after COVID. And this is after kind of working to have a more "neutral" and professional accent for work and there being things that I say that nominally native English speakers (Brits, Californians, etc.) had a hard time understanding. Just wondering if other people here noticed similar things with themselves.
I was unemployed for a whole year and while I kept drinking heavily for the first few months, I eventually used all my free time to learn something and managed to get a job in it. So my whole experience is definitely not the norm
Proud of u tho
I'm still underpaid, but at least now I just sit at a desk in an old building with 8 other dudes and design the internet
