I'm kinda down guys, ngl.

Found out an acquaintance of mine makes almost double what I do, literally doing menial physical work in shifts. Almost fucking double. And I work in a white collar office, grinding all day. I'm happy for the guy, as he's kicking ass based on what he could get given his background; but I can't deny hearing that shit soured me. Pay review is up soon, and I'm expecting some handsome commission later this month. Maybe that'll cheer me up...

Gym work is going stellar. 5kg added to my total this year already, and we're only two days in. Some lofty goals set for 2022, but the way things are going I'm confident I can wreck them all. A 100kg strict press last week, which I can reasonably say makes me strong as fuck.

I'm supposed to be hitting Spain with my cousins in February, but to tell the truth I dont want to go anywhere if I have to shell out for a single PCR test or related bullshit. It's all a big fucking grift, and I'm not going along with it. Flights were almost nothing, so I don't mind taking a loss there.

Christmas and NYE were non-starters this time round. I just wasn't feeling it at all, and I'm someone who loves that shit. Last year I went the whole nine yards, making Christmas cookies, drunken charades, a roast dinner, everything. I didn't even send cards out this year.

It's my birthday in a few days. Some girl I've been seeing casually wants to make me dinner, but honestly, I'll probably just finish work and head home, maybe recon at weekend. Totally going through the motions right now.

Without COVID, I'd be in Asia right now living it up. That'll take some time to get over, whew.
 
I always feel kinda gloomy at the start of the year, not really sure why because I'm in a much better position than I was last year. It's also Sunday, and I always have a case of the 'Sunday Blues'.

The start of the year always feels like one of those mandalas that they spend all that time making, just to sweep it away and start over. I'm sure someone much smarter than me can explain the feeling better than I can. I think a part of it is that I try to pay off my insurance and taxes at the start of the year, and those are never fun. The winter weather and darkness probably doesn't help either. I've got some super fun stuff planed in the springtime: Ghost has two tour dates in my state, Everything is Terrible and Last Podcast on the Left have live shows too. Come summertime there's a Warhammer 40k event I love that'll be a lot of fun since it's an 'Unlimited Apoc' game, and that game get's pretty goddamn wild.

Maybe it's just 'getting back to normal' now that the holidays are over. Can't have that peak without the valley.
 
I have managed to get food poisoning from my favorite sushi place, which definitely sucks. Don’t think I’ll be able to stomach sushi for a long time.
 
I'm going home tomorrow, already began to cackle at some stuff here at the farms. It's long overdue.

I calculated that I can pay down some stuff with the pay for January. So that's reassuring, as I can doll up my apartment more then :)
 
Wait I forgot to listen to this this season


another thread theme song :drink:
 
First day back today - I've got to decide on a project and I've got one in mind I just cant decide what one I want to make.

Other than that the person who gave me the tainted Mice Pie's came in and appologised to everyone, gave us all a card saying sorry and some Wine, apparently he made some for his family as well and they had the same problems looks like there was a tainted batch of filling
 
I've got burnout at my job but that's basically my own fault for various reasons. I'd be happier if I could clear my backlog of work but I'm somewhat unmotivated staring down imminent world financial meltdown fuckery and being stuck living with the in-laws with no out in sight. Oh well, I guess.
 
Super frustrated. It'll be 10 days tomorrow since I tested positive for the coof. 11 since my first symptoms. My manager called today asking how I was doing, and asked if I was able to get a return to work note from my doctor. I said I'll check on it. The problem is, I went to an urgent care sort of clinic since I don't have a general care physician atm. I don't know if they do return to work notes, let alone aren't too busy to make one.

I had scheduled another test for tomorrow right after the first test I had, just in case I needed it since getting an appointment is a bitch. It's at a different location (accidentally picked the wrong one), and the test could take up to 72 hours to get results. My parents tell me I need to get a retest, but both my manager, the CDC, and the first clinic said it's not necessary. Plus the fact that it could still test positive even after it's been 10 days in isolation and I have no symptoms.

I'll probably call the clinic just in case in the morning (though my phone anxiety is dreading it), and if not call my manager and just explain what's up. I've enjoyed my "vacation", but I just want to be able to go back to work without having to jump through a bunch of hoops and have unnecessary stress.
 
Finally came home yesterday. Didn't think I had any food at home, so I'm going to get a food delivery in a few hours from now. I had two litres of milk in my freezer I had forgotten about. Milk goes bad before expiry date, and don't like wasting food. Even though it's not my fault. So woops.

Got a pack of bacon and cheese with me from parents place, had garlic bread in the freezer at home. So roasted the bacon in oven, then roasted the garlic bread in the fat from the bacon and then just melted cheese over the bacon.
I dipped the sides of the bread slices in the fat, but god damn. This is the best garlic bread I've ever had.
Planned to be up all night, but I fell asleep fast after my meal.
