stupid first world problems you're dealing with

phling, I wouldn't do it. Those strong feelings you have will probably not be reciprocated since she was with someone for so long. Generally in these situations if you follow your feelings, your crush, your gf and you get hurt. But maybe you need to go through that if you haven't yet to really live the reality of it.

These employers that want applicants to do a prerecorded video interview need to fuck off.

Sounds ghey. Is it just me or are employers in general imposing more and more absurd application requirements?

Not sure if I'm better off staying at my current job or pursuing a new one on account of dealing with this kind of bullshit. (C & P's text onto overused narrow-eyed Fry from Futurama meme)

Will they supply the necessary gear to do one? Not everyone has a fancy smartphone and I am sure the videos made on some crap video with shit sound quality aren't even considered. Fuck that.

Employers want 22 year old college grads that already have 10 year experience in the relevant field. What's absurd with that?

Edit: do the dildo thing phling. do it!

part 2 in the work carpark saga: the letter from my org's HR people finally came through, like 8 weeks later. it's from the Head of Office himself, telling me off for "bringing the organisation into disrepute". for bad parking.

5am. Can't sleep, despite being exhausted since well before midnight.

^ fuck that, not being able to sleep can ruin a day so hard

feelin' dysfunctional,

Might be time to go Ronald McDonald Trump on a bitch...RackaRacka style

I can't sleep in past 6am the last two weeks or so, no matter if I'm going to sleep at 10pm or 4am, it's like clockwork. Really starting to drive me nuts because I wake up and I'm alert and awake, but feel little to no pleasure of having rested. None of that feeling like 'oh yeah, ima roll over and just sleep more, I'm so comfortable' It's more like an anxious and sweaty series of slight body-cramps (mostly in me legs) and being wide awake in an instant from a dead sleep. I've tried melatonin, valerian root, edible cannabis stuffs, 5-hydroxytryptophan and GABA to try and sleep and they'll knock me out and give me weird dreams, but then I wake up in the same state I described above.

The kicker is, by about 3 or 4 PM, I'm yawning so much that my eyes water, I can't have conversations without it being in half wookiee-yawn and half just saying 'yeah' or 'no' appropriately, and I have no energy. My sex drive has gone down, stress has gone up, music making has gone down, I'm irritable as hell and I want it to stop

Kill me.

Do you exercise?

I do 50 pushups, some planks, and this weird pilates ab thing every morning along with full body stretching, I started it about 4 years ago and it always helps me wake up. I haven't had any cardio in a month or two aside from walking around the big-ass facilities I work in and heavy lifting over those lengths for extended periods of time. Not much outdoors lately since it's been cold and raining every second, hiking trails are closed or I'd die on them, and my bike got jacked... That may be it. Although I don't remember when I was more sedentary years back that I ever had these problems with sleep, mostly insomnia on the part of not being able to slip off to sleep.

Funny FWP - I locked the damn bike to a tree that was really quite large on the side of a friends property. It was stolen during the day and someone actually chopped the tree down to get it off. I was fucking stunned, but honestly, I was also pretty impressed. It was some 1980's cheap-o road bike.

Other side note - I will say - for the amount of effort that local methamphetamine users expend on being shiftless and fencing for their habit, they really are under utilized IMO. A government program to keep giving them good dope, giving them a nice tweak warehouse somewhere, and having them do social programs that benefit the community would be pretty snazzy. If you're going to be a vapid prisoner to your horrible vice, may as well contribute instead of killing a tree and stealing my bike like an asshole when you wanna get high. I can see it now...

Head of Office is a mess

I would recommend doing cardio. That usually tires me out so that I can sleep at night. Also, stretching before bed helps a lot too.

well if you're sometimes sleeping from 10-6 that's plenty of sleep. if you're not feeling rested even then i wonder if it's more due to stress than lack of sleep. lowered sex drive also is often linked to stress. sounds like you get more physical activity during the day than most thanks to your job. at least your not chained to a desk all day. i think you just need to align your chakras and get some zen up in your shit, ya know?

my fwp. riding in the rain sucks shit and i hate it. going to flash flood from 6pm tonite to 6pm tomorrow so i'm taking the car. however, i almost never drive anymore and i'm pretty petrified to drive in rush hour. in the rain is the worst too. not looking forward to tomorrow

i also have to buy a new joystick to play a new videogame which is like $200. it does almost nothing different than my current controller which is ridiculous.

Visual Studio Update 1 fucked up Visual Studio

Thankfully I restored my system to some ours earlier and deleted all the restore points now I have a functional VS and more HD space!!1 :O

I hate to peddle the whole going veggie thing, but for some reason I've been getting better rest and more stamina throughout the day since I've started. But again, not trying to impose.

I only had to read the docs about 20 times and look at about 80 links before I started to kind of understand webpack.

more work trouble that has nothing to do with work. I feel like I'm getting in trouble every day now for some meaningless shit or other. if it ain't parking fines, it's someone getting on my case about stacking coffee cups on my desk. wtf.
