How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Was he coming on to you or was it just general faggotry? Should've told him off immediately. I've been in similar situations back in the long ago, long before The Rise of the Troons, when i was a much more liberal person (never been friends with fags, friends of friends situation like you describe) and it gets real tiresome real fast being around bona fide polesmokers.
The latter. If I was being hit on I'd have instantly told them to pound sand without a second thought. If it was something that was pointed at me or was flirtatious I'd have done the same but generalized whining is more my ever present fatigue with them.

Hope your trip over and your Gma's birthday went well. Public transit has gotten so much worse in the last decade and that was already a low point.
 
I am having a great day. Couldnt ask for a better one.

Friend I reconnected with basically cut ties with me. I know why, at least I feel like I do. It doesnt hurt any less but im not going to even bother with it anymore. It was my fault for fooling around with him, and then I told him that I was going to stop cause it felt wrong when I was still in love with my ex and it's not fair to him. Perfectly reasonable reason why he'd feel hurt and cut me off, and I respect that. He's gotta do what's best for him, I can't help but feel bad.
 
Haven't checked in after a while. Started the new job in SLC last Tuesday. On Friday, I got asked if I had to head back to Appalachia immediately. I said no (I'm still waiting to hear back from the apartment place here). I was asked to go to Texas for a big field assignment.

What is weird, I worked on this project, in my old job. I'm going to show up on this site, and the end user project manager is going to recognize me. This was like a $30 million project so up until I got fired, I was regularly coordinating with these folks when the equipment was going to arrive and when my old company would deploy me.

So quite literally, my old company is going to have to pay a premium to do a job assignment I was already working on. Come Monday, I am going to repeatedly explaining to people why I have a different contact information than before.

On Saturday, the fucker that fired me sent me a text on my personal number, basically asking if I was the person that the new company was sending. I said yes.

"But I fired you"

"Yes, you did"

"I don't think this would be appropriate"

"I don't think this is your call. You have no other option. I'm literally the only person that can commission this equipment in the time frame set."

"We will see about that".

I'll see tomorrow if I caused a problem.
 
My tinnitus is getting worse. It's been present since I was a kid but in the last two years the intensity has been growing and honestly I'm starting to get scared it might continue developing. (The sound is a very sharp high pitched noise, similar to that of old electronics like a CRT television.) I need my hearing for my work, it's not like I abuse them. I take care by wearing earplugs in potentially noisy environments and regularly get them cleaned out.

It's at the point now where my box fan on the lowest setting gets drowned out when I sleep at night and I have to have rain or other noises playing in my headphones or it feels like skewers are entering my ears (I love mynoise for this).

I'm like a pittbull trapped in a section 8 housing with smoke detectors chirping 24/7. I'm managing it well, don't take this post as a cry for help.
 
> tfw catching up on the Rekieta thread and I'm on May 21st - like 10 days ago - and there's almost 500 more pages worth of stuff from then until now

I guess you could say I'm thoroughly entertained. I have no clue what to expect and it seems like nothing is out of play with this guy, although nothing's been on the site features so it can't be that earth-shattering. Is April gonna turn up dead under mysterious circumstances? Is he gonna get sued and then owned Jobst-style and lose the house? Is the nanny gonna turn out to be Sam Hyde? Is the police cam footage really that insane? All of the above? Clearly something's coming.

No need to spoil me, just had to get that off my chest and obviously not gonna shit up the Rekieta thread itself with it. So glad I found this site. Infinite time killing at work, even when just bouncing highlights.

Went on a date the other day after talking for a little while & plenty other talking stages getting bogged down.
While I was pretty optimistic I like to keep myself grounded. Oftentimes even if you do well with texts & calls, in person it may be totally different and bad.
Not this time though.

Everything went perfectly & I can only truly describe it as magical. Like the first day of a holiday as a kid, imagine stepping out of the car & seeing the trees, the fresh air, maybe the sea, being embraced by the gentle warmth of an early summer's sun. That feeling.
Luckily it's very much mutual & at the point now that despite a few days having passed whenever my mind wanders it wanders directly to daydreams thinking about that day & her.
Feels great.
 
Fuck my landlord. Already called last week on how i need access to the electricity room in the cellar on monday but the shit was still locked with a padlock (the law here is that a tenant has to have access to their electricity meter at all times and every other apartment i lived in had the meter inside of the apartment). It used to be unlocked. Had to, uh, "give" myself access as the meter gets changed later today. Lockpickinglawyer on YT came in clutch, two wrench method worked perfectly.

Feeling it hard, been there. Mine (same high pitch noise as yours) stopped bothering me after being forced to basically live wall to wall to a construction site for three years, the construction noises made my tinnitus pale in comparison and somehow my brain seems to have adjusted in that time. Only took ~20 years total of suffering but i take what i can get.

Not doing great actually.
Woke up with a seriously bad headache last November that for 3 days I couldn't knock on the head with pain relief and ended up going to the ED just to make sure I wasn't having an aneurysm or something. Turns out I'd had an ischemic stroke without any of the usual symptoms.
So after the last six months of scans, images, med trials and outpatient appointments they said I'm in the clear (well as much as in the clear I can be) and stopped some of the meds. The problem is that for the last month, every time I have a tinge of a headache or pain in the head I instantly hyperfocus on it and get inside my own head with anxiety . Which makes it worse because of the stress and worry. Every day I'm in some type of pain and its grinding me down slowly but surely due to thinking I'm about to stroke out again. Not sure how to deal with this.
 
Still doing good. It's day two of graduation month. I'm quite excited even though I am not one of the participants this year.

Hey, I have a question for everyone. I'm not asking this because you should feel this way (in fact, quite the opposite), but does anyone ever feel guilt they are using a community that was supposedly designed for the purpose of antagonism and has a large amount of people who give each other a hard time? I try to stay away from incivility as much as possible, but I have had trouble trying to explain to people how being in a group like ours does not automatically make every individual in it a negative person. Ironically, a lot of the people I've had to explain this to are themselves in morally questionable groups that they don't realize are morally questionable. Even when people in both groups have taken to firing jabs at me in their halls of shame which summoned me to them (even then I would not judge everyone in a group; my response was admittedly done a bit weird due to emphasis on certain parts, though so much of it confuses contingent truths with necessary truths with slander that I didn't feel like delving into it despite my sole relevance to it). It would be like saying that someone who went undercover in an enemy camp just to derail their activities shouldn't be seen as a hero simply because they joined the enemy, or like saying Luke must be an outlaw for ordering from the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Ironically I would have to say that, despite the negatives of it, it has a slightly better grasp on the investigation or due process.

Family has started joking about how I attract troons
they were pretty surprised I'd even met so many in the first place when I brought up the deal with my old friend (his entire friend group trooned out and he's lusting after all their girlcocks)
now I've met three in the last month alone and they're calling me a magnet
I wish I could disagree but today we heard news that one of my fucking cousins had downed the girl pills too and of course everyone started laughing about it around me
for scale: this means I have now known more troons pre-trooning than normal people

I guess I shouldn't be surprised given my circumstances. still don't like it. especially since one is explicitly trying to skinwalk me and I find it very creepy.
 
Went into the new office this morning. The boss man asked me to step into his office and he shut the door.

I'm thinking "aw fuck". Like this guy never talks to people one on one.

"JSD, take a seat. Who is this <old boss that fired me> character?"

I explain.

"He sent me over 30 emails saying you can't be used"

"I'm really sorry about this. If he is talking about a no compete contract, I never signed on"

"That wouldn't even apply JSD. You are literally being employed by him"

"You want me to assist remotely?"

"No. I want you to never interact with this clown ever again. Any emails, any calls...they go straight to me. I will handle this. You need to get ready for the assignment"

"Cool. Thanks boss"

So all and all good. Until I got to my hotel (still no apartment yet). The really old pet I had, that I was worried about driving her 30 plus hours to Utah, she died last night. My buddy and his wife watching her were a mess. Crying and apologizing.

It ain't their fault. I just wish I was there for my pet.

If I was in the same time zone as my boss, I think I would assault him. The fucker. I can't get away from him and every shitty thing that has happened in the past month or so has been influenced by him.

Dumb ass HR moron..I hope the next hurricane that hits Houston takes out his house.

Sorry. Im just in a funk.
 
Finally got a job interview but it's set 10 days past the employment date and it's at 3pm, probably making me one of the last candidates. On one hand I should be happy that I got the interview, but the other.. why so late? Even the invitation came 2 days before the deadline, whereas usually if you don't get a reply within 4 days, you're automatically rejected.

I enjoy applying for jobs; it's the lack of them that bothers me. I know what kind of job I want but I fear having to stoop to the alternatives. Private companies, small size, high likelihood of having to find another within a year or two. At least in the public sector you can undergo an entire cancer therapy without being fired. And even then I'm one of the few people who meet up every day as scheduled, but I've been fired once before and it looms over me.
People I want to respond to my emails are not responding to my emails, and people I do not want to email me are emailing me.
I started scheduling my emails 5-30 minutes down the line. It means an immediate reply won't appear and I can put it out of mind for a while. It also helps the whole office culture of "I don't actually wanted a reply immediately".
"No. I want you to never interact with this clown ever again. Any emails, any calls...they go straight to me. I will handle this. You need to get ready for the assignment"
Every single time I've been done wrong by a boss (even a literal rapist-pedo-murderer), I fault myself. Then you meet people like this and go "oh right, they were subhuman and this is what real good people act like". :)
 
Feeling good!

I was rota'd off of work for over a week without using annual leave.

Me and the gf went out shopping for nice things for the house over the weekend. I got a new script of Codeine so pain levels have greatly dropped.

Made lemon posset for the first time and it came out perfectly. 😌
