Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Kara]

When I read translated poetry I try and get bilingual editions to see how it sounds in the original language and thanks to y'all I can't read Russian poetry anymore because как (cac, at least how I think y'all say "cac") is so frequently used in it.

My COMET was turrible. I had a really unruly group tho, and we were punished. Our PT training was brutal, and I was already 80lbs overweight. It was a miracle I passed the physical. Yeah the pay is shit for the work that you do but it's better than being broke. 800+bucks a month is alright, and you can advance if you do well and your superior likes you. What crew are you? I was on kitchen, water and logs throughout my "career".

The only useful thing you can get in the CCC is a Class B liscense. If you're a good worker and your superior likes you bring that shit up to them. You can take it and be a bus driver. Chainsaw certs and all that mess mean jack shit outside the corp

yup, already took my first step towards the class B and that's the blue card. Gonna take the online test today, finish my paperwork and by next weekend I should be able to drive for crews. I'm on mitigation crew atm which usually just goes around cleaning up highways of roadkill and weeds, planting flowers and watering them and whatnot, but the last week we were just working with CalTrans on that project I mentioned earlier. I thought about joining kitchen cuz I don't really like working on the grade but my C1 is a really chill dude so I might just stay on his crew.

Placer has an energy crew too that just goes around helping public buildings save on energy and retrofit them with better equipment and I'd like to go there cuz the heaviest lifting you do is the weight of a pencil and paper. Not to mention you get tons of opportunities for certs. Also apparently my C1 already wants to hand me and one of my COMET brothers the green book so we can promote since we're busting our asses so hard. I'm pretty stoked on that

that's awesome that you went into the Cs man, wasn't expecting anyone here would've been with them. did you only finish the first year?

I was only there 3 months. My mental state was getting worse and people didn't treat me very well. There were rumors I was in a car accident which lead to my face twitching the way it does. Anyways it wasn't a good situation for me because I could barely work due to what was going on with me and they later testified on my behalf for my disability claim.

I'm sorry to hear that man I'm just gonna try and play it by ear as I go along, but I know I want to stay long enough to save up for a car.

You should save up for more than that. Stay there a few years if you can tolerate them and save up a lot of money. There aren't many situations in life where you can live somewhere for free and save money, other than couch surfing and living at home.

Had fast food for breakfast three days in a row

[Squiddy]

Apparently England's BK is pretty good, can't hate

Heck, England's McD is pretty good.
Thank you based Murrikah for exporting delicious fast food

Went out for a family celebration dinner (birthday+school celebration) this afternoon, which unfortunately was NOT at Olive Garden. I strolled into the restaurant a bit late, thinking it was just a family affair, and saw that two of my brothers had brought their girlfriends. Both are white.

[demi]

PD do you ask your brothers if they need their tip bitten? Just out of curosity, anyway. Nothing gay.

[TVC15]

Didn't take any diazepam today.

Why did you not take any?

[Kara]

Because I wanted to know how bad my anxiety is now after taking medication for awhile + coming to accept my fate in life and making positive changes in my life in response to that acceptance.

[Shadow Mod]

Fuck bathrooms without windows.

[chronovore]

Considering how fucked up you have been lately, don't you think it's a better idea to stay on your medication until you are at least in a better state?

[TVC15]

I go off my meds roughly every 3 months because I feel like a robot, but then I rubberband really badly and go insano crazy for 2 months until I finally realize I need my many pills.

[Kara]

I was prescribed it "as needed," not as a daily regimen. I don't really want to be on benzos long-term so I'm going to talk to my new shrink about my options for the next 3 months when we finally meet.

I'm taking one before I go to bed, regardless. Can't risk being a wreck tomorrow morning.

I am familiar with how this goes, unfortunately.

e: Not for you specifically, with family members.

[TVC15]

That's why you need the high end neuroleptics. They tranquilize without being druggy or making you high. They just make you fat and twitchy.

[Kara]

I had benzo withdrawals for the better part of six months, although the worst of it was in the first three months. Woke up in the middle of the night or early morning feeling like electric shocks were coursing through my entire body. Random panic attacks at all hours. It's no fun at all.

That sounds awful.

[BlackMage]

If you aren't gonna take your meds, then give them to me!!! I'll make use of them  :'(

[Kara]

Diazepam is no temazepam, trust me.

[BlackMage]

My body is ready. Gimme

[Madrun Badrun]

Fuck roommates girl friends screaming woke me up 3 times last night between 1-2 and then they wake up for 6am breakfast.  Fuck this I'm moving. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Now I'm listening to Yes.  Also I've played Court of the Crimson King like 8 times in 2 days.  What have I done?

[Brehvolution]

Today is my 13th wedding anniversary. We wanted to have dinner at the place we had the reception at, but it's closed on Mondays.

[Madrun Badrun]

break in and do it in their kitchen.

If I'm breaking in, I'm cooking up some filet and shrimp scampi.

[Kara]

Oh shit, tomorrow is that Disneyland trip. (There was a note about it in my physical inbox.)

Wonder how many hours I'll be able to handle it.

[Madrun Badrun]

Hey you can see my apartment!

[Yulwei]

life has been absolute shit lately. books, music and alcohol are the only thing keeping it together

here's to hoping the next 6 months are kinder to me

[Atramental]

Well, I spent my birthday week & weekend working on a project that was supposed to be due today...

but it wasn't because my 2nd boss is a lying sack of shit. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Well at least you got fucked on your birthday.

[Kara]

At least your work is done, Atra? 

Sorry to hear, Yulwei.

[Atramental]

That big project is done (Well, sort of. He wants some more details added to it) but there's another one on the immediate horizon. 

[BlackMage]

Do you have serious insomnia, Blackmage?

no, but I have a very serious case of the sobers.. Shit sucks man

[Shaka Khan]

WTF. Sorry to hear that bro. What fucking dreadful year.

[Phoenix Dark]

 

[Himu]

Another one of my college buddies just died, possible drug overdose. Dude was the man, used to go over to his house, sip beers, play with his dog, do impressions.

I'm so sorry. The last year must be taking a toll on you. You know where to reach me

[Positive Touch]

  im sorry bro

[Kara]

Sorry Esch. 

[chronovore]

You can't blame yourself in any case. These people make their own decisions; thinking anything else is egocentric.

[Kara]

If they never listened to you before one more time wouldn't have been any different.

[Himu]

Don't be hard on yourself. You tried.

[Eli Gulgin]

I'm so sorry Esch

[Mandark]

That really, really sucks, Esch.  Condolences.

[Brehvolution]

Sorry for your loss Esch. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Sending love and positive thought your way, Esch

[Madrun Badrun]

Sorry dude.  I found out some one I use to know to died, almost certainly drug related, a while ago but we hadn't been close since early high school.  Shit sucks.

[brawndolicious]

What do you do if you see what is probably a stray cat with a bloody tail/missing fur. This one is always on my street and bolts whenever I approach it but today it looked so tired it didn't even get up. It looked like the fur got ripped off when it crawled under a gate as there's a bunch of blood on the ground there. I tried feeding it water but it didn't want that so right now my neighbor is just watching it.

call local animal control.  The ones in my area will provide medical care and shelter.

[lennedsay]

That's three friends in one year. So fucking stupid. I always thought all three of them would turn everything around. One of them managed to, and then fucked it up with drunk driving. The others fell to opiates, god i hate the nasty things so much. And with all three of them, it was always like I knew it could happen. They took too many risks with the law and drugs and thugs. They never listened to me when I'd give them advice. And with all three, I always felt like I should have sat them down with other people on steadier ground and had a heart to heart. But in the end, I always felt like I wouldn't have been able to make a difference.

fuck.

EDIT: That was a couple years ago now. Can't really blame myself. 

Man that sucks... I'm sorry bro.

It's definitely not your fault, so don't blame yourself. There is literally nothing you could've said to any of them to stop their behavior. Some people will keep taking risks until they go to prison or get hurt/killed. After both a friend and my brother died, it came out that they had actually told people they always knew they would die young. They were both huge risk takers since they were teens (although my brother had calmed down toward the end), and the friend died from a heroine overdose. She had hundreds of friends show up to her funeral, and so many said they had talked to her about her behavior. Did nothing other than push them apart. Chances are if you always knew it could happen, they did too.
