Speaking of social media and taking a break from things I'm probably going to deactivate my FB account and limit my time on the bore until I get my stupid portfolio done...

I'm going to do neither of those things because I'm addicted to the internet and it's one of the few things I have to kill time until my meaningless existence comes to an end.

I'm working on Unity crap and my overly considerate mother 1100W microwaved my coffee to warm it up. Microwaved coffee tastes horrible and gives me stomach problems.

THANKS, OBAMA.

*more job woes that I can't talk about*
*people not understanding that certain phrases are sexual innuendos*

edit: I will say this, if I ever start a business I will absolutely not hire a BJU grad.
I would want my employees to be as "worldly" as I am if not more.

Recently found a book on my parents' travel bookshelf, alongside the Fodor's and Lonely Planet guides was a volume called "EUROPE THROUGH THE BACKDOOR."

I went to Safeway to do some shopping but I had to empty my bowels and the bathroom there was I think the worst public bathroom I've ever seen (in America). The toilet paper dispenser was hanging from one screw so they stacked a couple rolls on top of the flusher instead. I just made myself a nest with the toilet paper covers and leaned forward then I grabbed another seat cover for wiping and right when I exited the stall door, the poor kid who has to wash up comes in with a forced grin. He knew what the situation was like and just tried smiling while I washed my hands.

Later on, after I finished my shopping and returned the cart, it was then that I noticed that some horrible person had put their fucking chicken bones in the cup holder of the cart. People are fucking animals.

You should learn to be like me and live with depression 24/7. You're only discontent because you've experienced something better. Forget about it and move on into blissful unfeeling.

That's a doppelganger photo not her, btw, so hold your slut comment until you see the real one. I also hope I bang though.

I'm always depressed, so the other option is just not to date.

Also was planning on getting up a 7am to get a shit done of work today since it was a holiday. Instead Nami puked in the bed at 4:30, spent a half hour cleaning it up and getting back to sleep and got up at noon after hitting sleep on the alarm for a thousand times.

Going on dates while depressed. I'm not so sure about this.

Attractive girls are way less judgmental tho. She might even respect his pathos.

Date with (a different) tinder girl got moved to monday and I feel relieved. First dates

She is mexican and said she liked inappropriate humor, so my opening line was 'I'm building a wall to keep you out of my heart, how would you like to pay for it? Visa or mastercard' and followed up with a no visa joke. 3 days later and I'm still proud of that.

Everything I try on a computer today seems cursed by my own ineptitude. New-to-me photoshop features biting me in the ass, Unity trolling me hard, and even fucking OS X's keyboard shortcuts making a mockery of productivity. Maybe Apple is trying to install something in my backdoor.

I've spent 10 to 14 hour days for the past 5 days trying to catch up on skills I've let atrophy for a few years. Fortunately I'm jetlagged as hell still from America, so I get some quiet time before everyone gets up in the morning. I'd be lying if I said I'm not excited and enthused to be (re)learning how to create again. BUT I AM REALLY TIRED NOW.

You're not wrong.

But in terms of applications, last week I focused on Maya, which I was never good at, and Photoshop, which I used starting with version 1 and was really-really-really good at through version 5. I'm also learning Unity, which is enjoyable, but filled with... let's be kind: quirks.

I'm a Puppy! · « **Reply #1964 on:** March 03, 2016, 10:45:51 AM »

So as you know my boss put me in charge of this strategic partnership with another company. This company comes off as a tech darling that everyone wants to work with and is just a gold mine but our business has been sluggish with them and my boss has been beating me up for weeks about it and I've been like "Man, why is this so damned difficult!!" My boss and I went up to the partner's HQ yesterday with the main objective to see what other partners are doing that we're missing and seeing how their partners make money. At first the partner pussyfooted around but after about an hour of constant prodding and not getting anywhere with them my boss said, "Just tell us, what are you other partners doing to make money? How are they making their partnership work with you?" The partner finally opened up and said, "They're not. All our partners are starving. We missed our street numbers by a little last quarter, this quarter we ourselves are missing all our targets. By a lot." So it looks like my boss and I get to decide whether or not we shut that partnership down and refocus on more profitable partnerships or whether we hunker down and see if it gets any better. It sucks that everything's on fire in that area, but hey, at least it wasn't just me no one is making that partnership work this quarter.

chronovore · « **Reply #1965 on:** March 03, 2016, 06:39:50 PM »

It's interesting that your boss initially decided that it was entirely your fault and was riding you about it.

From most of your reports here, you've been the guy who goes on-site and puts out fires and get shit done. Now he's got you working in a position that you're not excited about, and saying "suck it up you'll get used to it." And blaming you first for this bullshit with the partner.

Sounds like more than a minor struggle and more like need for a change of company.

Oh believe me, I'm very aware. Though, honestly, I do love a train wreck

Still, that train wreck tho

I'm apart of a train wreck as well. Albeit a slow moving one but a train wreck nonetheless.

Why did the raise have a waiting period attached to it? With as busy as it's been, you could have them make it retroactive to the time at which it was agreed. You have a lot of options.

You should tell him you need the raise to be retroactive, or a consideration bonus.

I know I'm not just starting out, and I'm an opinionated old dude, but from over here it just looks like they're taking advantage of you.

As a temporary measure, you might want to try clove essence / oil to rub on your gingiva to get some pain relief if you need to. Pharmacists should have this and be able to inform you further. Saved me from hours of agonizing pain last time.

Tried to see is Amazon has updated their PS3 video streaming app to support the Japanese accounts. Video streaming for Amazon.co.jp Prime customers only started last November. So of course the app needs updating. Then the PSN Store needs updating. And the System Software. I've been downloading and installing updates for almost an hour.

Good jon, Suny.
