minor inconveniences that are not struggles

[EchoRin]

Social anxiety kicked in hard tonight. Was doing totally fine. Spending the evening with some people I know and some people I don't. We move over to another spot. Immediately clam up. Within 10 minutes I bolt out and head home.

I don't think social anxiety has gripped me and forced my hand like that in like 4 months if not longer. Strange little thing. You forget how dominant that feeling can be when it hasn't showed up in a long time. just gotta keep on trucking. It's in fact a good thing in a way that even though it won the battle tonight, it's been a very long time since that has happened. Progress.

my favorite scent. I love it and everyone who smells it on me seems to love it too  but the quality is shit  doesn't last long at all and sometimes it smells a bit like alcohol when I spray it  I just want this same scent but made with higher quality 

tried this one: https://www.amazon.com/Givenchy-Gentlemen-Only-Absolute-Parfum/dp/B01HQ1ACD0/

quality is def better, but I'm not caring for the scent so much 

This is my fave. I think someone here may have recommended it. Maybe. Someone somewhere recommended it. Anyway, get used to it, bitch.

there’s a few confirmed cases of coronavirus in my city and they all happen to be 10 min drives away from my house. 

So I’ve pretty much been holed up in my house for like 10 days straight right now, feeling both crushing boredom and cabin fever. Hope this shit blows over quick but it doesn’t look like it’s going to get better anytime soon

if belle delphine had an onlyfans I'd sign up in a heartbeat. I once jacked it to her for two hours straight and it was the best jerk off session in my life. I go absolutely caveman horny for her

[nachobro]

she seems like she's only one step away from those baby/toddler weirdos

Maybe they already projected that they lost you as a customer and they're just waiting for you to do a charge back so they can close your account/refuse to do business with you in the future.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Got a pretty good job offer, but it comes with a paycut. I could absorb it by dipping into savings for about a year. It'd be a 9-5 and I could keep my sanity possibly. But now that I'm faced with the very real possibility of leaving my job I don't know if I could deal with a 9-5, it'd be like retiring. Also I have debt to pay off and I'd rather have that done sooner than later. Ugh. decisions decisions. I know it's not really a struggle, but I worry I'll make the wrong decision either way.

[archnemesis]

I was ready to make a temporary pay cut when I left my last job. My pain threshold was maybe 10% below of what I was making in exchange for doing something that I actually care about. Fortunately I lucked out and ended up with a 30% increase instead.

Really bummed about my trip being likely to get canned. Wonder if I should fly down on my own cash, or just delay until this stabilizes, but how long will that be? I was hoping to move sometime between June and August, but everything is all now.

[Bebpo]

Went back to work today. Haven't been sleeping much from some issues from my dental surgery, haven't been eating much, on a lot of meds making giving me nauseau and dizziness, pain and swelling and a giant fucking hole in my teeth (I swear they took out the biggest tooth I have on one side), talking a bit funny with that gap, stressed out from some stupid insurance stuff on top of this and don't get me started on the covid19.

So got back and had a ton of emails and people being dumb on various cases and a bunch of emergency tasks outta nowhere that I had to deal with that I shouldn't have had to but the other attorney's being an fucking idiot.


And all this stuff made me be in a really pissy mood at work today, got in a fight with everyone and yelled a lot and just wanted to toss a table and walk away.

...probably should've just set an out of office responder and not come back until Monday.

[Bebpo]

I'm in a better mood, but still working from home right now just because I had so much shit to do and the more I can get done, the more manageable this all is. I think I'll be ok, fingers crossed.

[Madrun Badrun]

Today was such a frustrating day - found out experiments I started running 2 days ago silently failed and so were actually running on cpu not gpu, which means they'd take like 1000 years to actually finish.  Then it took 6 hours to figure out the issue, because they do work as expected on the two places that I'm suppose to debug code but not the place that I'm suppose to run full experiments. 

[TVC15]

I’m kind of on the verge of panicking right now about this work from home situation. I’m starting to realize the anxiety is too heavy for me to do anything with. I can’t focus or meditate or watch my breath or do the things that calm me down I’m hoping that whenever I fall asleep, I’ll be more calm when I wake up, but I can’t do anything about it right now

[Madrun Badrun]

I missed what happened with work?  why was your trip canceled?

Have to work from home for the next week, at least

[TVC15]

Sometimes when I'm feeling super lazy and didn't get enough done I just take a couple days off so that the amount of work I have to get done is minimized. 

But hang in there man;  can you tell your boss working from home is hard for you?

I don’t think taking days off is going to be an option, but there’s a chance. I have two deadlines the following Monday, so attempted strategic slacking is probably not something I should get in my head. But who knows, maybe they’ll be delayed. Luckily there’s kind of generalized chaos right now.

My manager is off today. I shot him a text saying I’d probably need to talk about this. He’s cool and understanding and I’m sure he’ll be sympathetic, but there’s not really much he can actually do. I’m hoping I’ll have calmed down a little by the time I talk to him.

[TVC15]

I think the uncertainty of how long this will go on is really what’s bugging me. I have everything I need for next week and there shouldn’t be any blocking issues. It’s the week after that where work isn’t so defined yet. Ugh, I really hope my temperament improves after a sleep. I kind of wish I had some Ativan or Xanax left.

First world problems: only the finest.

Hey, thanks for listening to me whine earlier. I appreciate it. I wish I could say there wouldn’t be more.

I’ve been watching a block of Golden Girls eps on Logo while stoned and I finally feel chill. Just wanted to show you some thank you for being a friend.



Rose and Blanche and Dorothy got legs. Also this was allegedly a stage show for children. In what era would it be appropriate to have elderly women in sexually revealing clothing show off their goodies for children? Also Joss Whedon’s dad wrote this ep.

BORK'S PACKAGE DELIVERY WOES: CASE #459


Amazon (carrier) delivered three games I ordered that released this week early-  One on Monday and two today, all one day before the official release dates.  That's just too good, so something had to go wrong.

Took the package today and opened it to find...some cloth-thing inside.  Ran outside, but missed the delivery driver.  Checked the label and it was my neighbor's address.  Found my package on their doorstep.  Ran back inside, re-sealed the package, and put a note on it, then switched them out.

The neighbors have a Ring doorbell, so I probably look like I was stealing from them.  😑  I rang the bell but nobody answered.


Told Amazon and they gave me a credit for it, which is great and all- just didn't want this happen again.  Don't know how you can get the addresses confused when our doors have large number plates on them, lol.

It sucks, but at the same time my buddy just flew yesterday to ski and got to the resort just as they made the announcement so he’s now at the resort with fuck all to do, so life could be worse.

  printf "ON CONFLICT (item) DO UPDATE SET item='"'"'" $1 "'"'"', reading='"'"'" $2 "'"'"', definition='"'"'" $3 "'"'"' ;\n"

...is there a more readable way to process lines and pipe queries into postgres? Maybe with printf -q?

I only know how to do that in python where pandas/numpy make it pretty easy. I'm guessing you could make a custom function with arguments that let you write it into your program in a more readable way depending on the structure of your source data.

I don't know if anybody here does web scraping but what is the general etiquette when it comes websites that don't have a robots.txt page? For reference, it's like 70k web pages of public info I have to scrape on a government site.

Modern dilemma: I want to help out local restaurants by ordering there ... but I suspect they're cutting all kinds of corners in order to remain profitable.

Solution: Order the food and give to my in-laws.   

[Ghoul]

Work continues just to hammer me with requests and despite me telling users to raise calls so I can get it logged and tracked they just email me.
I never really check emails from anyone other than who is in my team, so I then catch an email of the user complaining I'm not fixing their issues
sorry I'm not gonna help you, if you can't read my out of office that states I do not help people who do not raise tickets.

So back in December I spent a bunch of time cleaning my apartment, getting rid of an accumulation of shit, and generally trying to make a it a cozier less cluttered space. The majority of it was things I had intended to do for a long time and finally had the time and energy to do, but also I was dating a girl who is very into minimalism who helped me push through with it.

A month ago I offered up my spare bedroom to a former co-worker whose building priced them out. I thought it might be good in that it would force me to have to interact with someone (at a time when I was feeling lonely due to a breakup) and also extra money is always nice. This roommate has absolutely taken over my kitchen, to the point that I was trying to just put away my food and there was almost nowhere at the moment for me to put a container out and put food into it. And they have half emptied boxes just lying around the edges of my kitchen and dining area. I'm trying to be chill about this because obviously the whole social distancing thing means this roommate can't just take this stuff to their parents house for extra storage or whatever, but it does make me kinda twitchy having all this stuff just laying around and also losing 3/4 of my fridge and 80% of my counter space.

This situation was agreed upon as a short term trial anyhow, so maybe when this whole quasi quarantine is over we can decide it is not working. Shit, I just realized it hasn't even been a full month of this person yet.

[brawndolicious]

You make empty gestures, you get crowded kitchens.

[chronovore]

It's really surprising how many people can be completely inconsiderate after they've been afforded an overwhelmingly kind gesture.

i finished redecorating, it was supposed to be a triumph but now i feel empty inside, having nothing else to do

Ticket closed: USER has confirmed this issue was previously resolved.
ME please ensure you close calls when they have been completed.
Many Thanks
Jobsworth

After I go out of my way to fix something you couldn't do, probably not the smartest idea to start giving me shit, I'm not customer facing or have much to do with the ticket system.
Needless to say next time he escalates I'll leave that for a while.

GRRRRRR!

Professor last week - "Now, with everything going on...I'm going to set a minimum grade and if you're happy with it (I had a B+ in the class ftw), you don't have to do anything else for the rest of the semester.
