    I’m unemployed so I have a billion tasks in no specific order, and no boss to push me to do it:

    • order stuff for a non-profit
    • write some documents for that same non-profit, they are not organized at all
    • clean my desktop
    • study
    • play the drums
    • read non-tech books
    • do some bodyweight
    • NOT play Steam while drinking beer for 4 hours

    I have 4 hours left, it should be easy but being unemployed for 6 months and constantly rejected is making me feel like shit. I’ll see what I can do though.

      I’m sorry you’re out of a job. If i may offer some unsolicited advice, maybe start by doing some kind of self care exercise. Like thinking about the things you appreciate about yourself or idk, maybe just allowing yourself to take your time with your chores.

      Unemployment will fuck up your mental health. And yeah, rejection is rough but don’t think any less of yourself due to it.

      Not currently having a role in the mindless production of a heartless society does not reflect on your value as a person, a friend, or even a worker.

      Stay strong. <3

    I am supposed to be responding to an email but I’m really angry about it and distracting myself to calm down so the response is work appropriate.

    Well, there’s no immediate time crunch on changing these electrical outlets, but that’s what my phone and coffee are putting off for now.

    Being at a beach with family. Got overstimulated so much breathing was hard, barely made it to a air-conditioned room and try to catch some dry time.

    I have no obligations for the rest of the day. I’m currently vacillating between making coffee and not making coffee before I go and play cyberpunk 2077 for the rest of the day.

    Also, I’m no longer in my underwear.

    I was nervous about the phone interview (no video) for my first job, so I took a shower before it started. But I didn’t realize we were in different time zones, so the call came an hour sooner than I expected. I did the interview with a towel wrapped around me. I got the job.

    Nothing hugely important. I don’t usually have Tuesday off, so I’d like ti get to the habitat restore, and a local antique mall has a guy who sells antique chisels and hand planes who is only there on Tuesdays.

    Otherwise, i need to fix permissions on my suddenly broken nas, rebuild my proxmox server I broke when transferring parts, install the last five panels of privacy fence in my backyard, run service cable through a buried conduit to my garage, finish stitching my chisel roll, pick up some gate hardware for the fence, move a pallet of vintage specialized bricks out of my neighbors yard to use on my porch, renew my car insurance, check on my current 3d prints, design some drawers to hold lens blanks at my offices, and sharpen all my planes, chisels, spokeshaves and striking knives.

    Quality of life upgrades, nothing particularly pressing. Gotta finish my coffee and consider eating something first.
