The single best predictor of if you gently caress on the first date is saying "I think surviving the apocalypse would be fun".

I'm doing the same, may see how long I can stay sober after or at least slow down my consumption.

Just getting through the first weekend is the toughest part.

Getting to the next weekend is the toughest part.

Getting through next weekend is the toughest part.

While I don't get a hangover w weed, I definitely get a depression-swing the next day. I'm paying for my fun when tomorrow comes, one way or another.

To be totally honest - I kind of sat down and thought about all the poo poo I put into my body or my brain to make myself feel good - social media, video games, porn, trash tv, trash books, drugs, booze, lovely food and kind of ran down the list of the good and bad aspects of these and while I would personally be really happy to switch to weed and cut out everything else, I kind of feel like replacing booze with weed isn't really fixing my problem in the first place which is feeling the need to make myself feel good or better or some days, not miserable and try to find why I feel like I want or need these things over stuff that I do that's constructive and also makes me feel good.

I used to like to write short stories and longer form ones, I used to sketch, I used to hike a lot more, I enjoy learning a new skill - its why I took up rifle shooting. I gotta think if I get to a Friday night and feel like eating a pizza, drinking half of, or a full six pack of strong IPAs and using that to relieve stress - that's probably not going to be better long term than if I changed into running clothes, took a light jog, made a healthy meal and read a good book so I could get up early and go to the range or go for a hike or get back into BJJ. Rather than losing a chunk of my saturday feeling a little down, a little down at myself for eating trash and boozin after lifting like a psycho for 5 days etc and also having those feelings of "gently caress it - I broke my diet anyway, might as well buy something for dinner instead of cooking and finish off that 6 pack / case whatever".


Please don't take this as me pissing in your face over weed. I had a friend of mine I used to date who's a psychiatrist advise me to take a proper inventory of my habits and work on myself a little bit while I hunted for jobs so I don't get to the point where I snap and resign and I kind of realised my habits aren't as good as I thought they were just because I read before bed and lift weights every day. There's quite a bit more I could substitute and improve if I want to be happier overall.

I still want to be able to have a day every now and then where i have a few micro brews and a pizza and watch spiderman or share a nice bottle of wine at dinner, toast someone's success, a birthday or something but starting off with 3 months of no booze, trying to walk for 30mins as a signal that it's time to let go of the day and if I'm bored with nothing to do crack a book instead of finding a "new show" might help me form some better habits and a better foundation.

IIRC the idea is to have a toilet down where lots of messy work would be happening so whoever's working doesn't have to wander up into the house proper to use the bathroom—meaning they don't drag any of the mess with them

It (thankfully) doesn't come up near as often any more, but like back in Walking Dead's hay day when someone would ask something like ""How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?" I would say "Become a zombie. The world ain't gonna eat itself, that's gonna take a lot of boots on the ground." Usually enough to derail the conversation before they went into their overly elaborate survivalist fantasy that sharing with you was the only reason they asked the question in the first place.

I haven't watched Don't look up or Handmaid's Tale for alot of the same reasons posted. I watched season 2 of The Boys a little while after it was released and it was just a little too close storyline wise to real life in some ways that I don't really care to watch anything in that same vein.

I blame being terminally online but it's like I don't need a fictional show to tell me the world's hosed, I already know it is thanks to seeing what people think and do.

I’m just tired from the weekend. What I had hoped was going to be a relaxing three-and-a-half day weekend ended up requiring four trips to the Comcast store over cable box issues, finding out my sister-in-law has COVID (She’s vaxxed thankfully and quickly quarantined herself), and then my AC going out yesterday so I didn’t sleep well. That’s hopefully getting fixed today, but I now I feel like I need a few days off and I won’t be able to swing that for a few months…

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Back to work today after a week off, by work I mean roll out of bed into my home office, log in to my email and delete everything since Christmas as if it is important someone will send a reminder. Also ensure my executive assistants are in their recliner next to me to provide advice on how to deal with stupid clients.

So I'm back on the market looking for a new job. I've already applied for some management jobs since I do have over 5 years experience. So the pay schedule is the 1st and 16th of every month, well the 1st rolled around and nothing was deposited. Checked with a couple of the workers that I'm friendly with and same thing. Reached out to our manager who finally responded with you will be paid Monday. Monday rolls around and still nothing deposited. I had my laptop because I worked from home Thursday but I didn't drive to the office, I clocked in and answered emails but not sitting in the virtual tech bar. I shot an email out and got told by my manager is getting some answers but the lack of communication and pay is inexcusable for me.

All I have to do is roll out of bed and turn on my work laptop to go to work this morning but I still don't want to. I've been checking email and already got contacted for an actual emergency on my vacation last week so I'm already caught up on most of my non-field work related work.

Doing 15 months WFH then flipping a switch and going 100% back in the office has made me realize I absolutely want to be working from home long-term.

I had been increasing my office time slowly as the year progressed. I hadn't gone into the office at all until I was vaxxed, so like early May. Now with the Delta and Omicron spiking like crazy, I'm trying to go back to WFH most of the week. I'll probably still end up in the office like 1 day a week, and I go to jobs 2-3 times a week. I can't really decide what I like more, but I definitely like not commuting. I work better in the office though.
