Three times yesterday people felt bad for me for working today.

It's also -30 outside and I have zero customers.

We should have just closed.

The week between Christmas and New Year is the slowest week at work ever. Very little gets done and we’re given 2 hours for lunch. But I can’t enjoy it properly because I have a bit of a cold. :(

I got back into gaming in what appears to be a banner year for the industry and now I have probably over a thousand hours of backlog to get through.

Someone used the term 'work husband' about my male coworker and myself. Because a married man and a single woman can't be friends? Oh, how about the fact I am friends with his wife and if SHE is not my type, he certainly isn't either!

After treating my snake that has mites, I keep feeling invisible creepy crawlies on me, even though the mites are so small I wouldn't feel them at all, and they are snake mites so they don't eat on humans.

I've got this odd sensation underneath my eye that is best described as a minor itch (but not really, that kinda feeling you think rubbing will get rid that won't go away.

Wouldn't be surprised if the rubbing of the area is just making it worse. :(

So last Saturday when I cleaned up all the snake cages and put them on paper towels, most of the snakes were pissy, so I skipped feeding. Decided to do it this weekend. Bad idea, combined with me forgetting to put a brick on top of a QT box, because one of my sand boa three-year old babies got out. And for the first time in 20 years, the cats got it and killed him.

I found him this morning by the tank with the mite-snake, and for a horrible moment I thought it was that snake. Finding out it was an escapee sand boa was, horrible as it is to say, a relief, compared to a snake that could have caused some damage to a cat (even a small bite, and the mite-snake is about three times the weight of the boa) but now I'm feeling horrible because I hosed up in the first place.

Add to that I pulled another 10 hour day at work, my boss is out, my coworkers are either sick or on vacation, and I keep thinking I have an escaped rat too. I had 5 or 6 of them for breeding stock; one died. I cleaned cages this morning and could have sworn it was a pastel cream that died about three weeks ago. But now I can't find the black male, and I am certain he was in the cage this morning but I can barely remember 15 hours ago when I was cleaning, and now he's gone, and there's another cream in there. Either I'm being punked and someone is switching rats, or the black one escaped, and I keep thinking this is what must happen right before you snap and go full crazy.

Frustratingly close. Just one more flight, or had one of the Australia legs been on American instead of Qantas, and I'd be there. Ah well, always next year.

If you do a lot of flying and the elite status would make a big deal, just say gently caress it and go on a cross country round trip to get some pizza or something

Eh, I weighed that, or just taking the buy gold status offer they make when you're close, but idunno, boarding one group earlier is basically the only benefit I'd get. There are so many platinum/pro/exec status people that it's unlikely I'd get any upgrades, and the award miles bonus doesn't mean much to me with the way they've gimped them.

There's a really great sub shop near me, but the owner tends to work the register, and he's... he tends to do a running pitch for "why you should come to this shop" while you're trying to pick out what to eat, like harping on their awesome toppings and sourcing of high quality meats and poo poo. Then when they bring the order out, he likes to come squat next to your table and chat more about how great everything is and what you should try next time.

He's super positive and really stoked to be running a business, and I can never summon the heart to tell him off so I can eat in peace, but it's to the point where I'll cruise past the door and if I see him inside I'll drive off and go eat somewhere else. Which is a shame cause the subs are really good.

Yeah ime the only status tiers that really matter are baseline and the very top. Everything in between usually adds very marginal value.

There IS a rat loose. At least I am lucky in that the rat is male. Unlucky in that he is hiding in my room and I surprised his hiding place so it's unlikely he'll be back there in an easy to catch place.

My friend and his wife and I had plans to go to this butterfly garden place but his mom is in town, and I had to work today, so they went ahead without me. I mean his mom did pay for everything as an Xmas gift and she wasn't aware we were going as a group but it still kinda sucks.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it was the whole "stop loving with it and it won't hurt" thing, cuz it went away after a couple of hours of not touching it while I was asleep.

My therapist has been pushing me to quit being a total hermit and actually start interacting with the world again but I'm finding that I kind of like the advantages of total solitude.

Dying alone, unloved and unmissed doesn't really sound like an advantage. Please consider the possibility that your therapist is right.

I have a knack for drawing really, really lovely people like a magnet. I also got sick of explaining why I don't talk to my family. I had a horrible, horrible childhood.

You also get a LOT more time to do things when you quit having friends. I like talking to machines more than I like talking to people so I code a lot.

It also means I don't have to deal with American society which has been getting increasingly narcissistic and toxic. Yes I know that means I should emigrate.
