How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Harbinger of Kali Yuga said:
I really do want to find a WFH job. I'm good with computers (I imagine anyone on the Farms is) and make some extra cash with my tech wiz genius, but I don't have any real "official" tech qualifications, relevant degrees, certificates, etc.

the thing about WFH jobs is not only do they get outsourced to cheaper labor or automated, it's kind of hard to land one as you're competing with the whole country and not just your neighbors.

Last year i got a job just slugging tires around for a service department that stored customer tires and I loved that job as it was simple and active, but I broke my leg in the first week of work.

Doctor John B. Zyklon said:
Turns out, he does have a name, he has a "logo" which is basically chicken scratch, the branding is "you know, like this", no concepts for the branding he has yet to show me any designs claiming he wants to redo them because he can't draw, when I asked him if he was drawing orthographic views, he didn't know what it was and when I showed him you can just get blueprints for the fucking thing and draw on that (a complaint was that he wasn't drawing to scale etc...); his excuse was "I don't have a printer". Nigger, to make one of these things will cost several grand and not having a printer stopped you? You could go to the library, UPS, your fucking job, you can find printers on the god damned street.

He doesn't sound too terribly motivated for this being his dream. If he really can't draw or come up with a logo, he should consider contracting a graphic designer. Tell them what he wants and they will figure out the rest and both of you can decide then what you all would like to have. Not having a printer is the dumbest excuse I have heard of too. Most people would just say 'well guess I should go to Amazon and buy a fucking printer then'. What was his excuse for not having one? No money or what?

If he is out of a job, he should be focused on making this his job if it has a reasonable chance of success. He can still apply for whatever else, but if he has the time now to do this, he needs to make it a priority. It will be much harder once he finds a job and he'll be wishing he had done more now.

I can understand why you would like to keep him around. Being a good salesperson not something just anyone can really do. God knows I couldn't be one, I'd slit my wrists before the first hour was over. I see why you would want to divide the labor in this way. He focuses on the front end and you on the back end, but he does sound like he needs to take this more seriously if this is going to work.

Feeling a bit rough. My oldest cat passed away this morning. He was 15 years old.

I'm sorry to hear that. It is never easy, even when you know they are getting up there in age. It sucks. :(

Day 3 of not being a retardfaggot is drawing to a close and it was easier today than the past two days. I got my car washed, got an interview scheduled, made some progress with a couple of other things. I am wondering if I am finally starting to get over my grief over my failed marriage. It has been something that has been slowly happening the past six months or so where I feel like finally feel I am reaching something very near to acceptance over the whole thing. I think more and more positively on the future and what I want out of it for myself. It may be radically different than what I always thought and I am actually OK with it, looking forward to it even. I'm surprised myself how I actually feel about it because I had so much invested in a life that is gone and dead, I wasn't sure how or if I would ever get over it. But now, dunno, I think I have come to accept my lot and am ready to start trying to move on. I feel maybe hopeful for the first time in a very long time. Still a bit guarded about it, but things finally seem be healing.

He claims he has 10k in savings. Money isn't, or at least shouldn't, be the problem.

Agreed. Which, I get, off months or w/e but idk. I think we'll have to have a sit down. I tried to a month or two back, talking about buying some equipment "yeah, yeah, sounds good, I gotta build a pc first". ...just do it?

Yeah, frankly, I'm somewhat in agreement. He has cheap rent due to family, supposedly family who wants to support him in this...take advantage of it. If he has savings, boom, golden. Even if it's just, take 3 months off from work, live off savings, and put all his effort into it. Pre edit: Now that I think about it, 3 months off, would be 1200 in rent, say 600 in food, so 1800 bucks..to work on your dream business full time? Seems cheap to me. Work part time to pay your bills and then focus on the business.

At this point I'm applying to jobs and hoping something good comes before my boss starts causing more problems. I'm also a little unsure of what the right experience level to apply for is, so I'm just going with what sounds good.

Been stressed out the past couple days due to family bullshit but it passed, affording me multiple days of uninterrupted sleep.

I am tired of work.

I genuinely start to hate Indians. They do a shitty job, they are fucking everywhere in the corporate world and have this effeminate soulless soyboy style of existence and mannerism that I basically find repulsive. Let's not even get started that they basically corrode the English language Internet real time. Jesus fucking Christ, It's a subcontinent of bugmen and NPCs.

They are basically the last man.

And rapist perverts, I'm not sure which is less safe, a Jewish woman airdropped into Hamas territory, or any woman airdropped into Indian. Their manner of sexual come-ons and repetition belies a very Chris-chanian sexual autism. One wonders why they love their cows so much...

Humblebrag but my boss liked my work so much he's giving me extra hours. And here I was with imposter syndrome thinking I was about to be found out as a fraud. Fuck yeah, I really could use some extra cash. I am niggercattle that always blows thru a paycheck and eats dollar store canned goods the last few days of the month. Could be worse, at least I'm eating.

I don't know about Indians but when I was working at university tech support, a nigger workmate managed to cause electricity to short circuit our entire work area. I still have no idea how the fuck he did that. My current workplace is all male and all white. Big surprise there, small town Finland code monkey work isn't exactly the picture of diversity.

Mental health wise I am much better off than I was. Physically, I caught covid about a week ago and was mildly ill but I think it turned into a sinus infection from hell. A week of managable fever turned to sweating and shivering on the couch. Horrible headache. I dont want to admit it is probably my own fault from smoking a joint when I felt mostly better from covid, but it was probably my own fault as it went from a 2/10 to like 11/10 a couple hours after. I just wanna bitch and whine and have pancakes delivered to me. I dont even smoke that often and have never had weed prolong an illness to my knowledge but I guess I am getting older for real now.... I dont want to give up and go to a doctor for being snotty- but a week+ long fever is really getting to me. Fuck, I wanna punch things and cry.

I only deal with them over email or Teams calls, but god dammit if they aren't the worst. They can't speak English worth a damn, and they can't read it very well either. You have to write down instructions down to the tiniest point or they'll fuck it up, and even then they'll fuck it up anyway.
What pisses me off the most is that in my particular case, it's a company that works on language, their standards to hire people, even pooinloos, should be higher in terms of their reading and speaking skills.

The worst part is that everybody knows they suck. Unfortunately they are so cheap, for MBA types (who are increasingly Indians themselves) it is simply reasonable to cut costs. Who the hell cares about the long term implications of filling up your ranks with nepotistic, selfish bastards who bought their diploma in Calcutta for $100? This quarter had less expenses. yay

Now that I recently got an SSD for my used thinkpad t430, I've been slowly copying stuff over from my desktop and doing a bit of testing. Mostly so far I have watched videos and even played Black Ops I and II (which actually play fine on this old hardware though I'm not very good with a controller), but the real test is browsing kiwi farms and yeah I guess they were right about the screen not being that great.

Other than that I am recovering from a toe injury. It doesn't really hurt now but it is still sensitive to even a light bump.
