How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Hypothetically speaking, how often have you matched with someone, exchanged messages over a few days, set up a time and place, met up, and discovered that all their pictures have been deceptive at best and they tried to hide multiple obvious problems before the meet? I guess there's a silver lining, sure you set aside an evening and put a lot of effort into this, but at least you aren't heartbroken at this point, just seriously asking yourself "why do I still try?" as you leave. That's technically an improvement, as you aren't feeling bad after the 5th or 6th disappointment this month on account of not feeling anything at all.
But still, it's a real bitch buying a used car online.

I ran one through the crawl space from a few inches from the modem to a few inches from the router. This wasn't to be neat, which I don't really care about much, but because it was the only way to get it without adding another 20 feet to the run.

Amateurs.

I have 10 conduit runs from my network closet to the rest of the house, and a runs to boxes on the outside of the house. Probably 500 feet of Carlon Orange Resi-Gard 1 1/2" flexible conduit. Then around 2000 feet of cable.

Which is amusingly how/what I'm doing this weekend. The projector for my TV watching is ceiling mounted with a conduit from there to where the receiver/PC/etc is. But that run is about 10 feet too long due to needing to go down a different wall and then back up from the crawl space since there was blocking in the wall I wanted to use. But now I'm doing drywall repair in the adjacent bedroom, so I can cut a hole in the wall and drill the blocking and pull the conduit back and re-run it a shorter way. No it's not an exterior wall and the blocking isn't structural... and with a 2x4 there will be nearly 1/2" of wood left anyway. So, this weekend when I get tired of drywall I can cut some more holes in the walls, and then patch them once I drag the conduit through them.

I rent so I can't do any of that, but I did build my own router, does that count?

Anyway, I had my meeting with my boss. She said a lot of what I was afraid of, but she was nice about it at least, and said she thinks I'm already improving. She seems optimistic I'll be where she wants me to be in a couple months. I think her expectations are unrealistic (mostly the timeline she expects) but at least I'm not in danger of getting fired or something yet.

I know it sounds retarded, but I’m in a spot where I’m just kinda tired of what I do and wanna join the military.

I can put up with a lot of shit and bureaucracy for a paycheck, and I’m kinda checked out on life (not depressed, but I just want some change). Only problem is, my partner has stated in the past they’d leave if I joined, and I don’t want that.

School isn’t right for me, and I’m getting closer to the cutoff age. I’m old enough to where I need to just pick a direction and start moving that way, even if it turns out to be the wrong one. Anyone else ever feel this way? All Ive ever wanted is to help people, and this feels like a stepping stone towards that…

Quit drinking because I was taking anti depressants, and stopped taking the anti depressants too, about a week ago. Wake up furious and depressed and bounce back and forth all day.

Went to meijers and some bitch was walking down the center of the wide isle between the small isles, while her bf was walking where he was supposed to. She was looking ahead as if she was seeing if I'd move. I was going to play chicken and slug her in the temple if she bumped into me and beat her boyfriend as well.

Then she moved over next to him, 20 feet ahead of me. Maybe I was imagining the chicken scenario.

Fuck that whore anyways.

I'm starting to take a supplement daily. Insert fag jokes here.

I take vitamin D3 + K2 supplements daily. I recommend them in general and especially if you're in a situation where you can't get much sunlight (the shift you work, you live in a frequently cloudy or dark place, etc.).

I've been learning how to can food. I learned how to make an outdoor oven (like what that Townsends guy uses in his videos). I've also been learning how to make mead. Interesting stuff.

Another thing I do daily is I get up at 0430, get dressed, brush my teeth, and then go outside and start a fire in the fire pit I have in my backyard. I used an axe to shape the wood the way I want it and I use a knife and firesteel to get it going. Then I make coffee using that fire. One of the best ways to help me be productive for the rest of the day.

I've been getting to know my neighbors and learning Spanish. I think shit's going to get unpleasant later in the year, mostly because of our fucked economy in the USA. I'm learning skills, networking with folks, and keeping myself busy. I know it's going to get bad, but I'm not blackpilled about it. Rather, I'm cultivating my capabilities, increasing my people skills, and training myself so that I have the most say over how things go for me. It feels right to do this.

I hope those of us that are struggling hard right now find the answers or resources they need to make it through.

Man I envy you. I work 60 to 70 hours a week, 3rd shift. I want first but hate the politics and management. The money is too good to leave at the moment. Wayyy too good. Get paid to play on my phone all night. Can't do that on first shift.

To be able to wake up in the morning instead of going to bed when everyone is waking up.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it's really fucking dangerous to go cold turkey on anti depressants. I've fucked around and found out the hard way. If you didn't follow a tapering schedule, your brain is going to have a Big Bad. I hope you are safe.

There's lots of people stuck in low end jobs, or who have bad health, or horrified at the government funding trannies and pedophiles. I'm not one of them.

I'm just alone.
