Except companies want 5 years experience to pay you some bullshit wage so you can attempt to pay your student loans while also trying not to starve to death.

Also my year-old headphones have suddenly stopped making noise in the left ear. I wiggled the wire once and got it to work for a second, but it went dead again and I haven't been able to replicate it since.

Oh hey yeah that's pretty much me. Tried to beat the anxiety with going nuts and buying lots of loving Subarus.... which actually to be fair tended to be a bright point in a poo poo fest of a year. A car with a loving CVT was the goddamn highlight of the year (okay, it's actually a bloody good car) until 3 weeks ago and really had a left turn in life - Which has made me look forward to 2018 big time.

Not quite 2018 here in Dallas/Fort Worth, and it's 25 loving degrees outside. Yeah, I know it's nothing to you Yankees, Canucks, and Vikings, but drat, it's chilly for TX. Snowed/iced a bit earlier in the day, even. Nothing stuck, except on bridges and such, of course. It's only been under 40 for a few days.

Low of 16 on this side of the metro. It's chilly.

Did I mention the idiots that designed my apartment complex put the water heaters OUTSIDE (okay fine, in a tiny uninsulated closet on the patio)? Electric ones? That thing's probably sucking up more power right now than the electric furnace. My electric meter will be :parrot: for the next few days.

Apparently there were 100+ wrecks/falls (why are falls counted) before midnight in Dallas and cites 170+ in Ft. Worth. Also, make sure to watch the video of the darwin award candidates.

That's dumb, but I saw that in a lot of complexes when I still lived in apartments 20 (jesus gently caress, I'm old) years ago.

Wife and I went to Ikea Sunday, because why not? (New one in Grand Prairie) Saw several accidents along the way, but had no trouble myself. Several bridges seemed to be icy, but, driving like I'm not an idiot made it not an issue. The city/county sanded and brined everything pretty well on my path. My cousin reported similar driving to work in the morning. He lives in east Fort Worth, south of I-30, and is assistant manager of a comics shop in North Dallas (like, Plano is across the road.)

This is the first place I've lived like that. This place isn't old enough that you'd expect it, and it's only in part of the complex - for that matter, about half of the apartments with my floorplan have them inside, have a private balcony, and sacrifice part of the laundry room to a full size (tall) water heater (instead of a short wide one on a shelf like other places). So I had the choice of having a private balcony and indoor water heater, and half a laundry room (could only use stackable w/d)... or outside in a little closet, a shared balcony, and a full laundry room.

I can't imagine driving from there to almost Plano. I guess he's probably spending a fortune on tolls on 161 and 190? Or is he actually fighting traffic on 360 -> 30 -> 35 -> 635 -> major north/south road?

I didn't see any ice anywhere except for a couple of little patches on Woodall Rogers... and in the parking lot of the 7-11 down the street.

Any holes a goal?

I think I’m suffering from burnout. Haven’t had a proper holiday from work since July last year, took two weeks off work in sept but ended up with bursitis in my shoulders which is still giving me poo poo to this day, combined with twisting my ankle so badly my foot is now about 4mm to the right of where it should be, so that holiday was agony and misery.

Also just finished 11 weeks straight of doing the fire prevention slashing in the district which is stressful as all hell, cos we’re slashing edges of tracks and hill slopes where one wrong move or missing a washout means you and 10 tonnes of machine are on a journey down a hillside on your side.

And since our leading hand has had a micro stroke (different to the guy a few months ago who had a major stroke) I’ve been unofficially pushed into that supervisory role with no compensation or real recognition.

Add in working every day of the festive season apart from public holidays, and I guess it all just got too much. Got 3 days work this week then two weeks off, but cos we’re so understaffed now I can’t take more than 2 weeks at a time.
