Re: mdm_chaos.

I do not have any insights on what to do with your career but am interested in one thing:

I think it's pretty interesting that both extremes, as you describe them, can work in the same industry. Where do you fit on this parabole?

Nothing humans do, has any meaning or is even worth it. As soon as a human beeing gets older, it notices its own mortality. That's why it starts to "do something with its life". Doing "cool fucking projects" does not change the fact that the human beeing will die and that everything it did will be dust soon. These "cool fucking projects" are nothing more than a way to deal with midlife crisis.

 

Okay, you could outcast yourself from society, switch to davinci level of authism and create something that has actual impact to the world. But that is not a "cool fucking project"... that is a way to ruin your life in exchange for a small allspark

Nietzsche pretty much thought that, on the back of nihilism, art and struggle can be used to create meaning in human life. May as well weave yourself into the grand tapestry with a "cool fucking project". Or at least will the destruction of our meaning so it can be replaced with a new one.

Hey speaking of which, I've joined the cracked phone screen club and I'm kinda bummed because it costs so much to replace, and I don't trust myself to repair it.

Really sleep deprived today, caffeine isn't helping at all. So tired everyone talking to me has that faded washed out quality and even little tasks are taking too much thought effort... I even tried to go to bed earlier last night, but my brain wouldn't let me sleep... Fuck, I need a nap.

well one of them is a data analyst and the other is fluffy PR, but both work in digital marketing. i know how to do it but need some kind of proof as it were.

how do you mean? proof of what?

How amazeballs she is. We'll vouch for you madame C, just tell 'em to ask watmm.

I went about my "morning" internet activities for almost an hour without realizing I hadn't had any coffee in my system yet. That sounds unremarkable, but this is maybe the only time it's happened in over a decade. Coffee is always my first objective after waking up. What happened?

I grated some cheese for my omelet, but I forgot about it and finished my omelet without it.

So now here I am eating plain grated cheddar for dessert like some kind of simpleton.

my two best friends are polar opposites, and whenever i speak to them about something they always give me the opposite advice.

 

this is getting really fucking confusing and i'm in a funk right now about my job and career prospects etc.

 

they both work in the industry i want to work in, but both got in completely different ways.

 

do i retrain? do i blag it at the interview? am i pitching too high? too low?

 

i have absolutely no fucking idea anymore.

 

and my current job sucks.

Have you considered perhaps getting another, different bike?

i just got a new one for Christmas. i have yet to start riding it everyday though, perhaps that's the problem.

That winter storm rolling through the midwest was supposed to have hit already. Now I see it;s been a little played up. I emailed my professors this morning saying I wouldn't be making it in so I could avoid having to drive home in it. It's now about 11am and I haven't seen a single flake. Even my instructor emailed me back, saying I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, I could go in but it's really not worth it at this point. And I'm sure my professor just thinks I was looking for excuses to stay home...E veryone was talking about how this is so bad where it's hit already (we're still getting it, it just hasn't hit yet) and the weather reports said it was supposed to have hit by 9:30am.

Look at the radar and satellite, factor in its speed and direction, check the interactive wave and weather forecast map, if you have one of those, it projects forward, I don't think the US model is as good though.

You really don't wanna be snowed in at uni, you might get a parking ticket, lorl.

I did look at the radar this morning, the storm was supposed to have hit already by all the projections I saw, and looked like it was going to, instead though it's been lingering at the edges of the county, but it is slowly working it's way North... We're gonna get it, just a bit later than initially thought, I probably could have gone into at least the morning classes and been just fine. But, oh well. I've still got all my classwork done.

tried to set up an old CRT in my room but the scart connector is busted. That was the reason we threw it in the garage in the first place, but I forgot. Carried that heavy piece of shit upstairs for nothing and now I gotta take it to the garage again

last 5% dev job terrible, all I want is run away

also

App Store approval review queue (own project) is terrible

You betcha!

But yeah, we got dumped on, in the end I'm actually glad I didn't go in yesterday...Snow started up around 11:45ish, and continued ALL day and night, until like 3am this morning. The later classes did end up being cancelled as well. By 3pm when I usually get out, there was at least a few inches and the roads were reportedly terrible... We got about a foot overnight by my place, some parts of the state even more.

I skipped my first class this morning to wait until the roads got a bit more cleared, figured I'd make it to the 2nd but the usual 20-30 min trip took me an hour and 15. The interstate was pretty awful still, tons of accidents and a couple stalled out semis in the middle lane. They really should have cancelled the first couple class periods today, but whatever. Made it in time for the last half of the second class and the other 3 I had today.

cool, so. Vindicated you are.

to everyone who responded to me the other day: thank you. This truly sucks. She's understandably outraged, currently separating what's hers in the apartment. I took a walk because she said she couldn't talk to me right now. I've had a stomach ache for a week. I hope it seems reasonable that I'm drunk right now. My whole future has unraveled, I don't really know if I even made the right decision. I really hope I did. All I can think of are her strengths. She loved me more than anyone else ever has, and I ...well I love her too, like family, but godammit...I don't know. Gonna try to find a place to live I guess, can't afford this apt on my own.

edit: for a backstory, why this hurts: five years we've been together, 15 years we've had feelings for each other, known each other since age six. Not an easy replacement.

I forgot to mention: she has no interest in breaking up. That's all me. I wake up every day thinking this isn't right, you're wasting her time, she wants kids, you only love her because she loves you, arrrgggjjhhhh wtf brain... fuck you free will thread

I wouldn't put any of this on the internet if I had anywhere else to say it, fucks sake

Some cunt here spreading poisoned traps for dogs...again. I have to be extra careful when taking the little buddy for a walk. There would be some work for an axe to be done (very loosely translated finnish saying)

FWP #2: Acid Reflux is back. Yay, lucky me.

@luke: so why? is it because she wants kids and you don't?

what a weird thing to do, serial killer in training. Hope he's caught before he fully flowers, so to speak.

Sorry about that Luke, you know if you get someone else and she's female, eventually she's going to want kids too. If you're over relationships altogether, welcome to mgtow. But I spose it's more that you just don't intellectually connect ? Which leaves you needing more than just a loyal lover can provide?

meh, I'm glad I don't have to deal with this shit.
