How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Bible Study has been amazing. The past few meetings we mostly just been talking about our lives and I was able to talk about my situation and my hopes and dreams. At the end of one session, one guy prayed for everyone in the group. Including me.

This morning one guy even gave me a deluxe version of the Bible that has special sections that go into detail of what certain phrases mean. Dude is awesome.

Can’t believe I was an edge lord atheist at one point.

Is it essentially an informal concordance? I have a miniature one for just the New Testament, but also a full 10-volume job for the entirety of the OT/NT, which goes into almost autistic detail. Very useful in any case, as meaning is sometimes not very clear for modern readers (depending on your translation.)

Anyway, what a bro. God bless.

Started day one of a 30 day working out thing

Interesting timing -- I just restarted weightlifting again (after a 1.5 month break due to moving). Did way better than I expected, but will need to work back towards my fitness level at the beginning of the year. It's easy to forget that post-workout feeling: tired and noodle-limbed, but oddly nice (great for your psyche). Enjoying a post-workout protein shake and taking it easy the rest of this evening. 8)

Terrible. Drink every friday out of habit yet can't even get half as much down as usual before I realize I aint gonna find a game or a movie to enjoy, so I just head to bad. Wake with a mild hangover and remember everything from the day before, yet I drink every friday. Why? Unemployment and job hunting. Every day is the same. At the very least I can pretend I've earned my friday, which I do believe I have, cause it's fucking life draining to send 8-10 applications a week going on a year.

Do I wanna stop drinking? Yeah. Do I need to? Not really. Being healthy doesn't help much when I've nothing to be healthy for, ie. job, partner, friends, going out, anything. Am I going alcoholic? No, cause it's entirely culturally ingrained. I used to drink 'n game every friday with my old friends, and now I have this idea in my head that the night turns magical and fun if I'm drinking, even though I go to bed earlier than I would sober and probably get less gaming done also.

Pretty okay, I guess.

Had a nice date. Trying very hard not to get my hopes up. I keep getting stood up, cancelled on and ghosted. I think quitting smoking (it's been like 6-7 months) made my sex drive come back. It was fun for a while, now it's just a nuisance. Honestly I miss post-coital cuddling and watching a movie or playing vidya more than coitus itself.

I can't sleep because I have a massive headache and I have to be at work in 4 hours. Insomnia has been bad lately, only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night and then sleeping for like 12 hours on my days off. I can't shut my fucking brain off.

Tired. Work was a nightmare. Had another wave of migrations for users to a new service at the absolute worst time. We're extremely understaffed, unorganized, and we and the users weren't sent much information on troubleshooting this time. Clocked in and had a fuckload of calls in queue to answer, along with a torrent of tickets to look at and try to complete. I swear these people are fucking braindead cause half of these tickets were stupid petty bullshit that could have easily been solved with the users putting in a crumb of effort instead of clogging up our queue. Due to the volume of requests, no breaks today, just had to push through it and hope the next user doesn't want their issue solved 5 minutes before a meeting or is too stupid to follow any sort of basic instructions. I need a new job, this shit isn't worth it. No overtime pay or holiday pay (we don't even really get holidays because a few people are always randomly picked to work them) and useless managers that look at us sideways when we're drowning in shit. I'd like a drink.

Depends on how you feel about making wuflu vaccine, buddy of mines son just started working for Calanet making $23 an hour, full benefits/dental/401k working three 12 hour shifts and paid for 40.

As for me: Timing belt in my car broke, has 260k miles so it isn't worth replacing. So been used car shopping for the first time in the better part of a decade. Last time I got a car, $1000 would buy you a beater that would last you a year or two, while $3,500-$4k would by you a damn good vehicle. Looking around now if I'm lucky the vehicle will have 175k miles unless it's a honda or toyota, then the rice tax puts it at 225-250k miles and rough bodies.

Annnnnd another no sleep night. Woohoo. I have a shitton of laundry to do, so I guess this is my chance to get it all done and hung up before the housemates have a chance to whine at me about space on the clothesline or their chance to use the machine.

Speaking of housemates, we, by which I mean 'I' since I'm doing all the fucking work and laying down the cash for all the ads, may have netted a sweet young thing at last. A young fella has agreed to move in mid next week on a handshake agreement. If it all goes through there will be four of us total in the house, and if he works out, we will finally be able to give female housemate the boot. Then I'll be able to stay up past 10pm and male housemate can use the toilet when he gets home from nightshift, instead of being forced to sneak a piss in the backyard at 4am.

Had a black friend that was actually chill, but when he asked me to not say nigger anymore. The friendship unraveled naturally from there on.
Big red flag when they ask you to no do anything anymore.

Went back to college and it's the worst due to on-line only. Hardly learn anything and now they threw in this cengage bullshit which is DLC for college to even access your fucking assignments. I've had to contact a teacher twice already about how when I uploaded my videos I do for speech, I get marked zero because cengage acts like I never turned it in.

This is the worst software I've ever used and it continues with these garbage "textbooks" you can never own through cengage, full of typos and two sentences with a picture that counts as a "page" in a 7 page chapter. All the quizzes are called "open book" and look back into these short chapters. What the fuck is the point of all this? No wonder education is in fucking shambles and it's disheartening because dealing with on-line bullshit makes me not want to go back to college anymore with having to fight terrible software, on-line structure and lazy teachers that can easily fuck your Grade.
