3/4 months into my new firm, new desk, new area, pressure on me coming to deliver was huge, especially when my firm paid pogba like fee's for my services.
Should be closing out first process this week, 100k fee, breaking the company record for a single fee.
Never had to work so hard in my life tbh.

Genuinely wishing a very happy Pride to all my friends who are celebrating! May it be filled with more love than you can stand. Please note, however, that I personally do not celebrate Pride. The queer community has never been welcoming to me as an asexual--indeed, every Pride kicks up discussions about if Ace/Aro folks are just cishet interlopers--so I decided to opt out a few years ago rather than expose myself to additional erasure and bigotry.
A good friend's FB post. Why do I find her "Heteroromantic asexualality" so attractive?
Someone else commented about how bisexual men are also ostracized...interesting I guess, but all that's over my head/has nothing to do with me.
i was gonna write up some stuff about my trip to utah but i've been too damned tired to do anything but sleep and read
Just got back, its starting to look like an annual thing tbh... two weeks, but waaaay more dumb shit this time compared to last
The majority of my band that I went to St. Jude's with is leaving the area this summer and it makes me sad. One of them graduated and is looking for a job in Texas, another just graduated and is now going to seminary school instead, another got accepted into a college a couple hours north for his masters, and another is job hunting which will likely lead him out of state.
It's looking like it's going to be me, a recent high school recruit, his younger brother, and basically whoever they can help scrounge up (since I don't have any active music contacts left in the area). I may just have to go to one of the large community bands and try to make connections that way. Ugghhh...

Taken up cycling, but not full twat with all the tight spandex and arrogant cunt attitude towards cars.
Banging out 30 miles rides twice a week. Shit is peaceful and relieves stress proper.
By Smokey Go To PostKib you gonna be alright for tropical Strom Cindy?I've just been getting a lot of rain. Nothing to worry about, yet, but have to keep half an eye on weather alerts to be safe.

USPS sent my package to my city post office
then sent it back to another city because 'forwarding instructions or label was incorrect'
and of course if I try to call USPS its just a maze of automated bullshit. what a shitshow organization

Oh, so the water has kept rising and will keep rising for another 24 hours, it looks like It is in my yard already, so I'm packing up and headed to my mom's down the road for a day or two.
This hydrograph is the only one that does a forecast: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=lix&gage=pvll1&prob_type=stage&source=hydrograph
However, it is like 15 miles removed from my house. This one is much closer and is upstream of my house but probably gives a better idea of what's going on atm: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=lix&gage=fsll1

I am back to work, and can walk with a cane. i promised myself to stop letting it bleed into my life. I got a jar and everytime I talk about work outside of work (as long as its not a crisis that could get me fire) I'm gonna add a dollar. Hopefully that jar doesn't get too full to fast.
i hope this tropical storm is washed before it gets too bad here.

Linux has been big in the server and terminal world for a long time. Windows is mainly for user-facing machines and SQL Server and IIS, iirc. Server guys generally prefer *nix systems when they have a choice.
I figure I'd pop in an update about the head things. I stopped going to my physical therapist like 3 weeks ago. Her diagnosis was that it was my neck and upper back causing me issues rather than it being blood pressure related like my doctor initially thought. I've been doing exercises daily for therapy and have noticed a knot in my back in the same spot that might be related. She said the dizziness was me rejecting movement and training myself to focus on one thing when my head moved which disoriented me. I asked her how long to wait if it continued and she said a little over a month. She said me working in a warehouse or going to the store is likely to increase my dizziness until I get used to moving again but I have gotten better at handling it.
It's become more manageable but it's definitely not gone. I notice it when I'm laying down for sleep, I definitely feel kind of light headed. I noticed this months ago in the dentists chair but at that point I was still assuming it was blood pressure related. It's much less noticeable in the morning but definitely noticeable as the day goes on. I usually start noticing it around 3pm. If I run or do jumping box exercises at the gym, even in the morning, I notice it can flare up. I'm still working on my posture which she says would be a huge boon and only I can do that, not her. But my core is shit and its hard no matter how much I exercise. I still keep an eye on my blood pressure but I just recorded it at 137/88, kept the band on and hit the button again, 111/76. I probably need to throw this thing out.
Still there's not a 100% certainty that it is related to my neck and back because the sudden vision change I experienced in November would likely not be related to that. IT could have just been coincidence but I'm over trying to self-diagnose. It spikes my anxiety which is one of my biggest enemies and part of why I got so sick in the first place. I have had moments of feeling normal again sprinkled throughout this but I'll only truly be satisfied when it's completely gone.

Oh yeah I knew that but I've never actually searched for Linux roles since I came into my current role a few (1.5?!?) years ago. I planned to get a cert in Linux, but the test was based off of RHEL 7 and in my environment, most of the servers aren't there yet. So I was basically trying to learn two different OS' at once and it was a bit much at the time. Feeling a lot more comfortable now. Supposed to take the test in August.
Found it interesting that there was a combined 1000+ hits in the Dallas Metroplex but "only" 300 or so in Houston.

There's a knot on your back? That's a bit concerning. You haven't been back to the doc for that? Maybe it's fluid? Hope you continue to get better man. Drop FFXV while you at it!
Water level held stable last night and into this morning so I went back home. I could have stayed here the whole time, but was just worried about a flash flood taking me off guard and drowning my car. Got to spend some quality time with my mom as she got back from her vacation, so it was all good, anyway.
Unit director is getting a new job, so that's going to create a wave of back fill positions. Looking to make some moves.
Found out that arguably the best-looking woman in the entire complex is a hardcore gamer. As in, built her own computer and knows that the nearest MicroCenter is in Madison Heights.
She played Witcher 3 on consoles but couldn't get into it. Tried it on PC and was so amazed, she went back and endured Witcher 1 and enjoyed Witcher 2. Attagirl!
I can now confirm that the do, in fact, exist outside of the internet.

Feeling frustrated at work. Feel like we're never getting done in time even though I feel like I try my hardest. I know I work as fast if not faster than other people yet I feel like there's this perception our night people are slow and that I'm not fast enough. It doesn't help that the people in the morning dont clean up after themselves and leave a fucking mess for me to deal with but supervisors dont want to hear that.
Just dont know what I need to do except start working at the pace I work out at the gym or something

My dog wakes me up at day break every morning to be let out for a walk no matter how late he was taken for a walk and I went to bed the night before.
And he knows how to annoy me to get his way. Especially since I struggle to go back to sleep once I wake up in the first place.

Thinking about going back to school but I'm 27, would be 28 by the time the fall semester starts. I feel like it's too late. I'd be in my 30s by the time I got a degree

If you can afford it, I wouldn't sweat it.

e: there may be grants out there for non-traditional students that you may be able to apply for
e2: speaking of grants, apply for each and every one you qualify for. also, look at scholarships the school may offer. there is probably someone in the student financial aid or other department that can help you out there. depending on your state, they may also offer financial aid.

My roommate started school when we graduated in 2002. Don't finish undergrad until like, 2015 (!!!) He also has a Master's now, considering a Ph.D.
IDK what the finance situation looks like but it's never too late to get credentialed.
I think I might have actually made an IRL friend. Wife too/two
Dude from Cincinatti recently moved into the area. His church back home was converted to a Vineyard, so he decided to find one. His wife is either a Ph.D. student or studying for one and they're both trying to get closer/into UofM.
He and his wife seemed impressed by my brood. #lifegoals. He's going to Georgia this weekend. I asked him to bring back some peaches. I'm salivating just at the thought.
Hosted another couple on Saturday. Asian wife who we didn't know was actually getting a job at our church will be in charge of hospitality, ironically. Her white husband actually said he couldn't sleep the night #45 was elected, and the day the Castile verdict came down. He even said that it was a couple of the worst days ever, but to black people, those were just a few more days in a colleciton of em. OK, you're alright. Will see if your wife checks out if she's serious about inviting her over to her mom's for some traditional Chinese.
They have a roommate who is moving out soon who is also black. Also saw us and was like #lifegoals.
