How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Over two weeks straight of exercise with minimal wear and tear. I'm getting back to my pre-woooooo flu nonsense and overcoming several horrid dangerous sickness from the last 8 months. In a few weeks I should be strong enough to separate a couple dimensions and piss off somebody. Pray for me.

I’m wondering what my purpose in life is. I’m having a lot of trouble finding a job and I’m wondering if part of it is self sabotage. I’ve been at my current job for six years now and it’s all I’ve ever known. It’s not something I can live off of and it’s only part time. I discovered trade schools and saw airplane mechanic was one of the trades. Found one close by and was excited about it. But upon further digging a lot of people were calling it a diploma mill and a scam, didn’t help it was for profit as well. My dad and I went there, while everything did look legit something in the back of my head was telling me this place seems fishy. Tuition was expensive as hell and they were a bit too interested in getting me to apply. My dad was onboard before we got there but seemed to change his mind and thought they were more eager to get me to sign up. It’s all I can think about and it’s making me physically uncomfortable. I worry I’ll disappoint my dad, but I think all he wants is for me to be happy. On the other hand, I feel lost I don’t know what job I should be looking for. I’ve wasted my whole day just thinking about that stupid school, barely accomplishing anything productive today.

I’ve been laid off from work, my store is closing down because of the economy. All the stores around us were closing down too so it wasn’t entirely surprising. Luckily the company is being nice and offering either a transfer or severance pay. It was a big part of my life and it’s gone. I’m feeling a bit better now that I discussed with my parents. I’m still unsure what I want to do with my life. I just want to say fuck China. This pandemic is all their fault. How many people have lost their jobs or had their lives ruined because they just couldn’t shut down their stupid wet markets? I seriously hope they get fucked really hard in the ass over this.

Going to sound like a dick given your situation, but...

I'm sick of hearing how China's responsible for all this. Like, I'm not saying it's racist or anything, but it was the rest of our governments who decided to go full retard and turn this virus, which either totally caused those 100k deaths or had most of those deaths falsely attributed to it depending on the conversation, into this nightmare. Like yeah, China fucked up, but I'm more worried about how nearly every country in the world instated draconian measures in unison.

It's like if a kid at school framed you for eating in class and you ended up getting two months of detention, and then you exclusively blamed the kid for everything that happened.

Just had a covid test today. Not because I'm symptomatic but I'm having a medical procedure soon and they gotta make sure I'm all good before doing so.

0/10 would not have my nasal cavity deep-throated by a q-tip again.

Holy shit don't go to a for profit trade school. Are you American? Search around hard for an apprenticeship program or go to community college. If your really like planes enlist in the military with a contract that guarantees a relevant job as a last resort.

I’ll bite, why not? I’ve seen people warn against for profit schools, but could never get a concrete answer as to why.

You can always find something better for less. A lot of apprentice programs are free or you get paid while you train. Don't pay if you can get paid, basically.

Most of them are just degree mills. They give everyone who pays a diploma and employers know it so the degree is worthless. Have you tried to find apprenticeships?

I’ve tried but haven’t had any luck finding one for aviation maintenance. I heard fedex had an apprenticeship program but I couldn’t don’t think they do it anymore.

Why so set on aviation maintenance? Do you know how stressfull it is? Fuck up one tiny thing and you get charged with 300 counts of negligent homicide. Why not plumbing or HVAC or electrician or welding or sheet metal fab?
 
I'm okay, I've been having a lot of lows days. I made banana bread today. I don't usually have a sweet tooth but I couldn't resist making a disgusting curdled icing for my slice. It's a bit of cream cheese and butter, melted, stirred, with a little sugar cube I tossed in. It looks like it's expired milk but it tastes pretty okay... Just okay, though.
