How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Fucking speed traps.

I'm a cautious driver. I've only had one speeding ticket, which was admittedly 100% fair as I was being a dumbass teenager and speeding. Other than that, I drive like an old lady. However, there's a road in my area that suddenly changes the speed limit half way through, and it lowers at the bottom of a hill. There is also, a ways down the road, usually a police officer. It's like they designed it purely to fuck with people and write tickets.

I didn't slow down fast enough and got pulled over. He gave me a hard time and implied he smelled "something" in my vehicle. He ultimately didn't search it, just wasted fifteen minutes bitching at me before letting me off with a warning since it was the middle of the night and my record is good otherwise.

I'm grateful that he didn't be a total dick in the end but I'm annoyed at how much time got wasted over something so stupid. If he had seen me another 50 or so ft down the road, I would've been slowed down to the proper speed.

I am currently hating myself for not checking the timezones for an online exam I have scheduled. Now my dumb ass needs to take it at 12:30 AM my time and it has an estimated time of 4 to 5 hours so I won't be done until the sun comes up. It's too late to change it. Fuck!

Have a nap before and drink lots of coffee?

Between my first pay on the 8th and my tax return all of my immediate debt can be wiped out, and I can start getting a few very important things I put off like new car tires to replace my nearly bald ones. It feels wears that a shred of financial security is on its way when I still have to very carefully budget my last $20 for another week. Tho I think I get a $100 tax credit on the 4th.

If I am unable to nap beforehand due to worrying about it, then I am SOL. My current plan is to just stay up as long as I can tonight, sleep all day, then I would be rested up for the test tomorrow night, then after the test, force myself to stay up until it is reasonable to go to sleep and hopefully get back onto my normal sleep schedule before work.

Congrats on wiping the debt! How much were you paying a month on it?
 
I am having a racist moment.
They hired a highly capable black guy to be my manager, but I just don't like him personally because of how black he is. He mumbles in a thick ghetto accent and goes "Oh mah GAWD" if I go "What'd you say?" He's short-tempered, a bit messy, a bit lazy, and always looking to screw you over. On his first day of work he asked to bum a smoke, a ride, and then implied I should give him money since I couldn't directly give him what he wanted. He dresses in big flashy clothes and clearly blows all his money because he's constantly talking about how he's broke and can't support the multitude of children he's had out of wedlock with various "bitches", which is a funny way to talk about the mothers of your children.

He's otherwise totally competent, but man.... Out of all the things, I might quit and go work elsewhere just because I am racist. I won't say that of course. But I spend a lot of time at work, and I don't want to spend it around him.


I basically quit my last job in part because of this same thing. A giant loud black woman became my boss and I just couldn't work with her personality and constant yelling and over the top emotions.

At this point quoting from Orwell's book Nineteen Eighty-Four is overdone, but I think that this line is pertinent:

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a black bix nooding in the workplace— forever."

Don't knock those guys. They're pretty good assets for when you need a favor. I wouldn't trust any of them around something nice but it's always useful to have someone whose debts you can call up and can be smart about it.

Its scary how little free will I actually have and I dont know if this is too much power levelling but I might just actually neck myself if this continues for a very long time. Its easy to say do it as a side hustle but when you get no time for the side hustle it eventually ends up disappearing from lack of commitment and Ill continue to be stuck with this groundhog day routine mess of a life with no satisfaction or useful reward.

I can empathize with a lot of what you're saying and have felt a lot of what you have felt. I don't have any good solutions for you because, as far as art is concerned anyway, I have never made one cent off of my work. It is indeed frustrating feeling being stuck not being able to do what you want to do. It should go without saying that the solution is not to "neck yourself". You've only got one life and even if you can only make the things you want to make for 1-2 hours a day now doesn't mean that will always be the case. You have unlimited chances as long as your are still alive.

Being a fuck-up is basically a requirement to cook and I have no beef with him as a cook. But how are people who are constantly broke supposed to balance the budget and be responsible for the supply order? How are people who can't speak clearly supposed to effectively communicate with the higher ups to convince them to give us money and staff?

I should really get out while I'm ahead.... no one gives a shit and I put in so much work compared to my pay.

I didn't get the job. Apparently that org is "too complex" for my experience. On the other hand, it sounds like the same type of position is being planned to open up right in the org I'm in, and the person leaving that position that I would be filling recommended me for the job, which is really nice.

Also I tried Hinge, at the recommendation of many people. It's all blubber, tattoos, and lunatics.

Unfortunately it takes a looong time to find a good job now.

Hinge you may find a few decent chicks but good luck getting a response. Unfortunately you won't have much better luck on any of the other apps, except Tinder, which has a few people looking for serious relationships but the culture overall in the west is turning into a hypercompetitive thing. If you are in your 20s and not yet financially established it's going to be a lot harder.

I treat all online dating like one of those predatory gambling apps at this point. If anyone had any success with those I chalk it up to like someone hitting the jackpot.

You will only really get success within the first few days while they boost you, and that depends on how well you do afterwards. Your profile pics need to exude status (even if it's fake) and you have to be physically attractive. ONLY provide pics wearing your best clothes, and socializing. But you can just sign up on the wrong time of day or night, not get enough swipes, and get low-tier'd in the ELO. Hinge and Coffee Meets Bagel were the two most useless dating apps for me, I think I only met one person off Hinge and they were certainly un-hinged. CMB had the absolute worst people on it, it's not worth beginning to bother with that one.

I think I will finally decide to learn how to cook. I am still waiting for answers on the resumé applications to arrive, and I must help at home in other ways. My rationale is that if I can help by cooking, I can help in other ways and spare my aging grandmother from spending time on the kitchen and just do things by my own.

Other than that, just keep going here and here. Wishing everyone a great time, even if things are difficult. Keep your heads up, even if the odds are against yourselves!

Cooking is one of the best skills anyone can have. It's atrocious that parents aren't teaching their children how to cook anymore. I've said before it's the most underrated skill anyone can have. A good hot meal can turn your day and mood around. Most people barely seem to know how to work anything other than a microwave anymore.

Going out with her for a pretty crazy time tonight, for me at least.

I am more crazy about her now than I was two years ago. I always worried when I finally met the person I would be with the rest of my life that my feelings might erode over time. There always will be, and have been, tough times, but who she is makes all that okay. It makes it better that she is there for it, rather than the tough times alone.

That said, I hope I don't die tonight doing a bunch of crazy stuff. Life in the fast lane. 👀

My father died about a month ago, and I'm honestly dreading his funeral in a few weeks. I have to listen to people go on about how good of a person he was to them, and not blow up and ruin the event. He was a fucking nightmare to live with, even when he was in a good mood. The shit that he put his actual family through because of his pathological greed and extreme laziness was fucking horrendous. His hoarding physically and emotionally crippled everyone near him, and the feeling of pure euphoria that I got when the first 40 yard dumpster was filled and hauled off is borderline indescribable.

This is why people hate cops. Practically all the speeding ticket nonsense is just meant to extract money from you, 90% of it isn't keeping anybody safe.

I've been looking for a job for months already, it's rough. Too many foreigners and w*men involved in it all these days.
As for Hinge, I expect Tinder will be even worse considering I'm not the 6666 stereotype. I may be financially well-established (current job concerns aside) but that's about it.
Dating and job-hunting are basically the same thing now.
