I'm prepping for a trip! Yes, I leave at the crack of dawn, and no, there's not a thing in my suitcase yet, but I'm feeling good!
I was thinking about that today and was wondering if you were already there.

Have a blast. Enjoy the scenery! Be proud of yourself and your kid. You deserve a break. I hope it's a wonderful trip. The world can wait a second. I truly hope you enjoy yourself.

TY! And I must have swallowed some happy juice today, bc even though I'm behind on prep atm, I can't imagine it won't be great! 😃
 
I’m finally getting the hang of driving! I’m also understanding why people are so angry when driving. Cause like what the heck are people doing on the road? This one time this guy with a big ass truck was just driving oncoming at me, and he just smiled, waved, and kept going. I swerved out the way and he just KEPT driving oncoming. He was wearing a cowboy hat too????
When I first learnt driving, I quickly realized that people are just shit at driving. The amount of near misses I've experienced while cycling just cause some asshole wanted to gain 3 seconds by overtaking in the other lane or doing a quick turn is enough to put me off driving entirely. And most of the time it's a third worlder doing this. Hence I decided I'm never putting the keys in a car ignition till I live in a civil society.

I’ve realized people kinda just do random shit on the road a lot and it always catches me off guard. Just the other day I was in the roundabout and some dude joined as I was going, nearly crashing into me. I had to slam on the brakes. I guess I am a “third worlder” so idk maybe I’m actually the one driving wrong and I don’t realize it.

Maybe its anxiety speaking but I always try to consider the impact my actions have, in every scenario. Its like that Michael Stuhlbarg character in MIBIII, trying to see all possible futures and picking the best one. When it comes to the road, I always think about how much of a pain in the ass I would be if I were to do something, for the person behind me or in the other lane. If I try to speed then Im a nightmare for pedestrians, if I take the opposite lane for overtaking then Im a nightmare for people in the opposite lane, if I turn without indicators then Im a problem to the guy at the back and if I swerve then Im a problem to everyone in general. So I end up driving like an old grandpa if I ever do. And when I meant people turn like idiots, I meant this

The person on the right is a moron cause hes causing problems for the people in one of the lanes by tryin to cut. The left will have the least impact on people in both lanes. It also fucking irritates the hell out of me when I see videos of black peepo, especially teens, driving like fucking animals. Those motorcycle and bicycle stunt videos anger me to no end. I just dont want to drive, ever till people learn have a modicum of decorum otherwise Im just gonna end up gunning people down from rage.
 
My deliberately unbothered, relaxed approach to prepping for a trip has resulted in finishing packing and prepping just an hour before I need to leave the house. :-/

I guess it's better than being stressed and still staying up all night, but it's pretty 🙄 either way.
 
I've just had the weirdest encounter of my life where a semi-schizo old guy struck up a conversation with me by asking where I'm from (I'm white so I blame my chink eyes). I told him and then he asked me if i came alone and and what age. After I answered he proceeded to yell the most accurate and shocking set of cold reads at me, like my deepest insecurities that I've never admitted to myself. Deep down everything he said was correct. I will now proceed to get blackout drunk to forget them.
 
Yeah, tell that to the boomers. Now watch them say, "all part of the game," "go back to school," "it's not THAT bad," "try applying to xyz," when they're likely set in their career or pleasantly retired.
Not a boomer, (youngest boomers are hitting retirement kind of age too…) but it’s bad everywhere, and older employees are discriminated against as well.
My area of where I work is critically short of people. They’re just not hiring, even though these are directly billable roles. It’s a mix of things; they’ve been told AI will let them reduce staffing levels (it won’t, not the roles they want to get rid of.) they have retarded financial goals and the easiest way to hit them is to keep the wage bill down (even though BILLABLE FUCKING JOBS.)
It’s totally insane. I moved companies just before Covid, and if I’d moved during NG Covid I’d have had loads of leverage BUT every single company required coof shots and I wasn’t doing that. Now the over hiring pharma did during coof is being reversed, and it’s gone so far the other way. It’s senior people being laid off to.
I’m lucky in a way that the job I do is probably the least replaceable, along with the techs who need to be physically in the lab. But still, it’s hard right now in job world.
I hope you find something soon.
@ilovecornsyrup that’s weird and interesting. Tell us more
 
I'm doing great, except for the fact that I have a bunch of assignments for uni to finish and they are due very soon plus tests, one of them is due in only 8 hours but it's already 90% done, this is what I get for being such a lazy fuck, and the worst thing? I know that next semester I will be lazy and leave everything for the last minute again ;)
 
I have to get up at 5am to fly to Edmonton and then catch a prop plan to a remote site in Nunavut. I get an automated text from work stating that all corporate cards are locked for suspicious activity. I call my boss up because I have to travel tomorrow.

"I'll call up the CEO and see what is up. Just don't use your personal card"

"Bill, that was never an option".

That was four hours ago. I have not heard anything.
 
Went out around town with someone who is the manic pixie dream girl come to life, with everything that comes with that.
Her life is too much of a nightmare right now that it probably couldn't work. Feel kind of drained because she definitely has some super ADHD and her kid was along for the ride. Really exhausted. She's a cool person though and we have a lot in common so I wouldn't mind staying in contact with her. Usually I would find that super gay but it's nice to actually have an option to have a friend I can have a lot in common with who happens to have tits. I'm just happy that something like that actually happened. Today I went around a bookstore talking about manga and anime with a decent looking girl, just went multiple places window shopping, got a feel for this person's life, enjoyed the moment. It was awkward and kind of chaotic, because that's what adult life kind of is.

What is even happening?
This has just been my face the last couple of weeks.
