Essentially
 
I chatted with an Australian woman tonight who had a comically thick accent, and I stand by past statements about it being charming. She was very racist again Indians, too, 10/10 overall.
 
I've gotten good news on several fronts in my personal life in the last few days. Won't powerlevel but let's just say after some tough years, it really does look like that I'm beginning to build a foundation for myself. My mental health is in a much better place than it's ever been, and my personal relationships are improving given that I'm working on being more assertive. I'm also making steady progress with my weight loss and should be a healthy weight by the end of this year. Plus, in the most important news, it was discussed that my senior kitty might have to be put down, but it's like she heard the talk and has come on really strong the past few days. We are gonna make it Kiwibros.
 
I knew this would happen, I do not feed the chipmunk because encouraging it would put it at danger but it seems to be very casual with my cat and today the chipmunk fucked around and found out. Fortunately, I noticed that cat had the chipmunk in his mouth and was able to free it.
 
Actually having the owner just reach out to me and show some concern and appreciation in the midst of everything else just made me feel good.
I’m not an owner of a business or anything but I do manage a big team. Let me tell you that good people are a joy to work with, bad ones are a fucking nightmare and when you’ve got good people you want to keep them. Your boss seems to have a bunch of retards and then you, which is even more extreme. Her attitude towards you is likely genuine.
Is there any possibility to progress at your job? If your boss is seeing you as a competent gem among retards then I’d be having a cup of tea with her, thanking her for offering to help and talking about where you can go from here. Does she need help, is there other stuff you can take on, etc,
 
Trying to survive the Great European Heat.
Speaking of sucking up to superiors; I've several times, for fucking years, while constantly taking extra shifts, asked to be more involved in the uncommon roles at work. Every time I've been put aside. Now however, being a unique snowflake is a specific role that I'm gonna apply for. I like being part of a team and moving shifts around to help each other, but this new role just.. works. They're meant to cover holes bu generally they just show up and go where told. I've been passed up 3-4 times for unique roles, if I don't get this one I'm mentally tapping out.
When I talk to people that are gen-x, they say I have an old soul.
I read somewhere that this is what people say about kids who experienced death in the family. It's not a good thing.

Fun and games until you go "- that comes with a new title and pay".
Alright sent the walking cycle test animation they wanted along with some other older loops. Let's see if it pays off. I have not animated in like a decade so it's a bit of a pain in the ass. I am rusty as fuck on these things.
Looks like a HoMM3 golem lol

You know, that is such a wonderful compliment to read. Sincerely, thank you so much. It means a lot when cool people think I'm cool.

Truth is she isn't really the owner. She is actually closer to you where she's the head boss and then a couple guys in middle management who treat it like a fraternity.
I'm the one who feels like a retard honestly. I'm not doing any severe mess ups but I'm new to this and taking longer than the rest of the guys who have been doing this for years. It's simple enough work but pretty stressful and I've been making doofy mistakes that have started getting people spreading rumors. It's very crabs in a bucket. There's also the race aspect.
No other way to say it,these are southern niggas working construction. Seeing a dorky white guy come in and be the reason why one of their own isn't there anymore has got them a little ruffled.

Sometimes I really oversell how well I'm progressing. I would have never even thought I could have even the allowance of just asking about the possibility of moving up unless you brought it up. It's weird being the guy who thinks everyone is against him and never thinking people could be actually like me while also knowing a good chunk of people are actually against me. It's weird to actually time my self esteem to be in accordance with reality just due to how reality works most of the time.
I properly thanked her for being supportive of me after reading your post. And I asked about if my living situation worked out and I was to stay here acouple months and I was still advancing if I could work my way up in the company, which she seemed open to. Don't really know if that's in the cards but it was nice to realize I have tge freedom and ability to do that.

Really. Thank you for your words, Otterly. I have no idea sometimes how much people see in me so it's been nice being reminded of that and having to remind myself to get out of my own head a bit and take a kind word or two.
 
Done with my job in the artic circle. It's hot as balls up there with 23.5 hours of daylight per day. And the flies and mosquitoes are ungodly bad up there this time of the year.

Apparently this underground ventilation system was supposed to be commissioned three years ago. The guys can't dig any deeper and they have to ration what equipment they run to keep the toxic gas levels down.

The supervisor was just hoping I could get something working. It was a bit of a shit show. Their guys work two weeks on and two weeks off. Plus this equipment is supposed to be the responsibility of the surface mine, but they had fucked this up so bad, the underground guys took it over.

I had to rewire the entire Estop string. The fuckers didn't label a single wire. They wired in the temperature feedbacks for the motor and bearing RTDs into the drive but didn't bother to wire them at the fucking motor..

My boss quoted them 24 hours of commissioning time..

I did 153. I got all the equipment puring like a kitten. Wrote up a startup and shutdown procedure and a troubleshooting guide. But I did a lot of hours. Like so many that I'm dreading trying to prove it. So I had to tell the guy that I needed in writing that I was to do these hours.

"WHAT THE FUCK JSD? DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING NEWFI??? I PAY MY BILLS AND I DONT FUCK MY COUSIN!"

I seriously think this is the first time ever I didn't need to beg a customer to sign my time card, especially when I had so many hours.

He even started calling me a dumb fucker for not charging him more time because per him "I'm fucked if your ass doesn't come back here".

I'm so used to getting shitted on by customers.
 
Yesterday I slacked off on some work I had wanted to do, and I weighed myself to confirm that I'm a little bit bigger than I want to be.

Today was spent playing computer games and eating popcorn and candy.

This is fine.

Anyone trying to stay cool without air conditioning, try freezing plastic bottles full of water, wrapping them in a towel to prevent condensation making a mess, and use them like you would a hot water bottle in cooler temperatures. If you want to be bougie about it, get some of those plastic ice packs that are for putting in coolers and lunch boxes and use those. Don't forget that showering in cool water is basically like playing in the sprinklers, which is a time-honored tradition among children.
 
I am still trying to get my bearings and go back to normal after the earthquake in my city.

I pretty much put my apartment back to normal as it was before minus a couple cracked walls but nothing major. We were extremely lucky because i live in one of the areas hit the hardest but mentally i am not doing so hot. During the day is mostly fine but after dusk i have a lot of anxiety and have moments where i feel its shaking again and can feel it in my body, so haven't been able to sleep all that well or take my mind off and focus on something else. i was laying in bed watching the world cup when it happened and now i really have trouble laying in bed without feeling like i am trembling, i keep looking around to see if anything is moving, but no, its just my mind playing tricks on me. I really want to put work on hold a bit and turn off notifications on my phone, because every time i get one i am on edge and think its the seismic alert again.
