The inhuman restraint I have to show to not go full goblin mode is insane.
What stops a person from just taking off all of our clothes and taking off into traffic?
The call of the void is real.

That is to say, I have yet again set myself up to fail because I am scared to improve and I am scared to let other people close.

But I have a date on the 29th with my new friend, the extroverted dog owner who adopted me. We're going to a science museum downtown for a solar eclipse exhibition they're having, as
there is a partial solar eclipse in August.

Hoping everyone has a good Friday and a blessed 4th of July tomorrow, Amerifriends.
 
It's been nine weeks since my gallbladder was taken out, and things still feel a little bit pokey-stabby in there.
I think the nerve endings are reconnecting and trying to make sense of it all. "Why is there all this scar tissue? Didn't there used to be another organ in here, what the hell" kind of things.

The weather is hotter than I can appreciate but I haven't the energy to properly complain about it.
 
I'm so lonely.
I was having a conversation with somebody about that. Working in an office is socializable, I get it. On that same conversation, he was talking to me about how advantageous AI can be with providing customer service or marketing. As if computers are perfect pieces of hardware/software. Even so, we're all going to be subjected to displacement or lack of socialization because all of us want convenience over labor.
 
The chick at work who got her motorcycle license at the place I'm starting at soon's husband took her bike for a ride and crashed it when a Tesla rammed him on an on-ramp. Couldn't tell if she was more sad for him or the bike. It hasn't made me even remotely scared of getting a bike myself but man, people dying left and right out here. It's scary that the old, blind and female are buying e-suvs that can with the blip of the pedal become a lethal projectile. Why do cars need to be so powerful?

3 weeks of working before I got two weeks off and I've just no plans. I got books and games I wanna finish, but I just sit here when I do got time off, pursuing neither. I was in a really good spot before I started moving jobs and now that I'm back and settled in, I have to regain that complete peace of mine that allows me to read a book first-thing coming home from work, not feeling like I'm wasting my time.
Decided I'm not going out of my way for people anymore. Said it many times, but this time it's in cement. Feel salty, yet better.
I feel like doing it cold-turkey out of spite isn't a healthy way to motivate it. It's less about ignoring the plights of others and more-so focusing on what actually adds to your life. Several of my friends are set to invisible on Discord yet clearly are on and play games daily. I've stopped giving them attention because they go out of their way to mask when would be best to give them any.

I've had several of those "no care me" periods where I just isolated myself but honestly, few things changed. Give it a few weeks and people started IMing me, acting as if we never talk because.. we don't unless I initiate. Loneliness is like smoking 3 packs a day or whatever, but if you learn to be okay with yourself or realize how other people can pull you down, you can sort of get over the negative connotations of being alone.
Even so, we're all going to be subjected to displacement or lack of socialization because all of us want convenience over labor.
From Members Only jackets to "you literally just have to show up in person, dude" gatekeeping communities. I mean shit, showing up at all is half the battle. Quarter of the remaining is not being a pedophile and the rest is just being a decent human.
 
Well today I got incredibly pissed until I stepped back and realised that I was still on my original planned schedule before the car dealership guy would me up.


I can't bike to work, I just can't I'm too out of shape. Monday I figured I would see if i was eligible for a car loan and wanted to inquire at a dealership with the intention of making the purchase in two weeks. Since I'm not immune to high pressure sales tactics I ended up signing for a car that night, something that I don't really regret and even thinking about it a few days it's still the best option available to me - though I wish it was cheaper. I can pick it up as soon as I have my auto insurance sorted out so I was trying to get insurance done as soon as possible but I was put on hold until their regular hours ended, and the after hours person was unable to complete the quest as the department that needed to approve it was closed. Wednesday they were closed due to some holiday, I had a scheduled call back yesterday but I never heard back from them, trying to call had me on hold until their business hours were over. I got a call this morning, she apologised for not getting back and informed me that the costs were in line with my predictions but that I would have to wait ten days for approval. At the time I was disappointed but polite and asked for the quote but said I would get back to her. I figured I would try a different provider but I abhor the online stuff because it's awful and tried to go in person, but after a 20 minute walk I found I physically couldn't get to the building because there was a fucking PARADE in the way and everyone was crowding the sidewalk so it was physically impossible for me to get onto the street. I went around the other side and same way, I eventually found a back route through a car park and over train tracks only to be unable to find the building - my best guess is despite google maps saying that was where they were and it was open it was actually just an internal operations building and not one where customers could physically go to. So i tried online and they wanted me to create an account, their account creation is the same as their account recovery form and despite me never using this company they refused to let me create an account just to get a quote. So i tried the phone system which kept trying to redirect me to the website and it wasn't until I was literally screaming at it and spamming buttons that the fucking clanker finally forwarded me to an agent, at which point I found out they were going to quote $3,000 more then my old insurance company, AND there would still be a week delay. So Now I'm on hold with my previous insurance provider to set up insurance, and i won't get my car for at least a week or two.

I was rather upset until I realised:
1. My car loan doesn't start until I take possession of the vehicle, and I can back out if I want to (I don't really though, but it's good to have the option)
2. I originally didn't plan on getting a vehicle until the middle of July, so I'm still on schedule
3. I'm a little bit annoyed at the dealership for pushing me to sign this quickly

So I'm a little disappointed as my last minute plans for the weekend were ruined, but ultimately I'm not in a worse position from before all this. Sucks that I still need to take transit for two weeks for work
