Always knew my dad was a gambler but i found out this week that mahjong was apparently his thing which colors the two times he actually took me out to eat as a kid as both times we went to asian spots

Also apparently the summer I spent with him at his girlfriends, it was close by to one of his private games

Had a random thought on the toilet today.

What if pooping is so satisfying because it massages your prostate? What if this also why men spend more time in the bathroom than women?
Nah, it feels good for women too. That's why I looked it up, and found out it's because of a nerve.

Also, unless you spend 15 minutes pushing, it isn't relevant how long you stay in the bathroom just because you're taking a shit.

wtf girls don’t poop u liar

I nearly died today.

I crossed the road in a designated 'this is the place you should cross the road' spot with signs and everything.
I checked to see if nothing was coming from the left or the right. I notice this bus miles away, thinking he has plenty of room to brake.
Halfway down the road I'm thinking: "Why ain't I hearing bus brakes?" turns out the bus decided not to brake but instead run over me at full speed.

Just as the bus is about to hit my face (I could see the giant window in the corner of my eye), I do a running jump towards the sidewalk.

That road is cursed. A year back someone decided to ram my car from the left on a crossing just a few meters ahead of today's adventure.
Years back I nearly got run over by a truck who lost control and made a swing to the left.

Thankfully the Terminators still have not succeeded in their mission.

in lighter news...

instead of practicing guitar ive been figuring out the past few days at what height i want my guitar at

cuz having it low looks cool but is difficult to play, having it high makes it easier to play and similar to sitting down, but might look less cool

but i almost got it figured out

basically unless it's really high, it will look cool, and having it lower has diminishing returns in terms of coolness

my feeling is it's better to have it somewhat high, and if you're gonna go for the cool factor, seems to me at a certain point its more about how you conduct yourself, how you move around, rather than just guitar height alone

it seems kinda dumb to worry about this to the degree that it preoccupies me that i barely have time to practice but im still glad cuz now i got it figured out

and now... im ready to rock!

What kind of music are you trying to play? Unless you're trying to be John Petrucci there's no reason you can't pull off whatever you're trying to do in style instead of looking like a nerd with the geetar way up high

my strap on the highest setting doesn't even set the guitar that high, so it barely matters

im a beginner so i dont play anything advanced... but still, i feel comfort matters more, and unless it's really high, it'll look cool anyway

If you're a beginner, play mostly sitting down and practice your chops. If you know how to play, making the adjustment to standing up and playing with some flair will be a piece of cake.

eh ok

but i imagine if i ever play... its not gonna be sitting down so i figure i should practice mostly standing

with acoustic i dont think i care... so sitting is fine

in fact standing with acoustic looks kinda dumb now that i think about it

Hey man, practice however you like, as long as you're having fun that's the most important part

agrajag · « **Reply #31406 on:** May 17, 2018, 10:41:18 AM »

I think if you are practicing with a band or practicing for a performance you should play under the same conditions you would live. If you're just trying to git gud, you should do it when you are most comfortable.

Something else I've been thinking about...

I probably should just start working part-time since full-time is fucking killing me.

I don't know how well that would fly though. I looked at the average part-time salary for a graphic designer in the US and... I'm basically making that much now (minus $7K) as a full-time designer. $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

The cost of living alone wouldn’t make it worth my while.

Also, I’m an okay designer not a great designer that could end up at a design firm like Pentagram and make a large salary.

Tbh, I’m just going to keep on hoping I get a lucky break eventually because I fucking hate working for other people (that I don’t really have a choice to work with or not). I rather just make my own shit and if people like it? Cool. If not? Fuck off and go find some hack designer/artist that just rips shit off from behance, vectorstock, or creative market.

Speaking of SESTA/FOSTA, I don't want to bump the meta thread about the most me thing I did today for unstated reasons, but today I amorally gave tax advice to people that are affected by SESTA/FOSTA because it was knowledge I had that they didn't and that is definitely the most me thing I did today.

Oh, shit. Take this time to take care of yourself. Talk to your friends and family and get some serious R&R. They don't want to fire you, otherwise they would have. They think you're an asset which is why they're forcing you to take some time off.

And knowing the little I do about you, you could seriously end up just stewing in your room with nothing going on, going crazy, so please engage in healthy behavior. Go out, talk to people, relax.

...…

Maybe this "sabbatical" will give me time to finally flesh out that portfolio...[/hide]

I got worried enough about you to actually watch a dumbass youtube video explaining scrum.

In all seriousness, take some time off to just go to a beach or somewhere and relax alone. Away from the world. And yeah, then continue focusing on getting your stuff together to hopefully move on to another job in a few months. Don't beat yourself up too much about your portfolio quality, you are likely doing work comparable to any other designer and just have a few passion projects that show off the peak of your technical skills. Honestly, it might not feel like it but another company would probably hire you at a much higher (ie competitive) wage in a heartbeat so it's worth trying to interview at a few places just to see how they react to your portfolio.

Also, and I'm still being serious, you need to start annoying the manager who threw that chart masturbation shit at you. Try creating a gantt chart in MS projects or just use an Excel template and update him with that as often as you give scrum burndown updates. It makes you look like you're trying harder, it keeps you motivated to annoy him/her, and it even has a slight chance of making the manager take a step back and realize that focusing on milestones so much makes them blind to quality
