In the spring, we tap the data as it begins to flow through the sugar maple; we boil off the packet headers to make sweet, delicious infosyrup.

All this work, time, medication, money, resources... just to hold things together.

I share this because I know some of you are struggling to hold things together. That it takes so much effort, sometimes. Just to keep the plates spinning, the balls in the air another few minutes. And when we succeed, the reward is nobody knowing. We pass, at work. On the subway. Walking down the sidewalk. On the phone.

I know it's hard. I'm proud of you. Keep going. *offers hug/pawbump/nod of approval*

Descent arrested. Stable.

It is almost a truism that the meds work, but staying on them consistently is an effortful task. Timing is becoming complicated: some interact with others, and spacing them out reduces unpleasant side effects. Dose changes still affect my innards more abruptly than my mind. Unexpected interactions between psych and nonpsych meds do interesting things sometimes, like flush potassium unexpectedly out of my system. S'tiring.

Going downhill fast. Back as I can cope.

Would it be advantageous - if one was teaching oneself to be more ambidextrous for Reasons, and currently righthanded - to have a horizontally-mirrored layout numeric keypad on the left side of the keyboard? it's already upside down compared to telephones, and transportable with USB HID.

I keep hearing the faint but distinct sound of a ST:TOS medical tricorder just above and afore my right ear. Every so often, the warble breaks through the background noise at work.

Which is not a bad representation of how my brain would visualize tickling the temporal lobe of someone locked in a delusional state.

So. If somebody's trying to directly frob my perceptual, emotional or memory systems to get a message through?

You've got my attention.

Try harder.

Introduction time again? The months fly by.

I'm Moment. Slightly silly rabbit. Taking a Jackalope certification course online, hope my antlers will be in the mail soon. I used to draw, hand's frotzed now. Used to chat, had that impulse surgically cut off. Spend my days operating an industrial laser and waterjet, my nights staring into screens and sleeping. Very rarely but occasionally Make Interesting Things. Exhausted often.

Interests:

Amazing how a single offhand, meaningless flippancy can utterly unmoor your life's expected trajectory.

(RL stuff. It's... Complicated.)

I find I am spending more time trying to overcome unsurmountable obstacles to completing work than actually completing work. Like a suborbital doom beam that cannot hold beam width from one project to the next consistently - or even through a single cutting project. This is bleeding the joy out of work: Sisyphus I am not.

Catching myself entering early burnout vectors. Tying to change my direction, but it's hard work, on top of this unending effort to make things work at work. >.<

Note to self: the carbide in the shop's tools is much tougher than the carbide in your microlathe's tooling.

**SCAVENGE IT FROM THE BROKEN TOOLS AND GRIND IT TO NEW PROFILES FOR YOUR LATHE** seriously this shit is the bomb

Note to self: the initial period of syncronization fail with VLC opening Macromedia livestreams is a cluster of 2us network jitter hits, about 50 in rapid succession, right after it goes through trying every codec it has ever heard of against the stream. This is well within acceptable network congestion limits individually: together, perhaps not. Why is it clustering? What's not getting frobbed in a timely fashion while it skims its codec library?

Dig deeper into codec loading hierarchy.
