Me: someone please stop David Cage from making games

Today, in "I get interesting spam"
They're trying to sell me lasers.

I wonder what it's like to start a day off by not being alternatingly exhausted and angry at everything for literally hours

It's ya boy here eating half of an entire tray of Nanaimo bars at 2am because I looked at species population losses again and got sad

I think my cat might like the cat grass too much, I'm afraid he's gonna eat it all at once, oh no

Perfect start to a perfect monday

I have a weird cloud of thoughts about Armistice Day, but nothing coherent enough to really put into a tweet that gets it right.

But one thing I'm pretty solid on is that every Brand™ getting in on the action is trading immeasurable death & suffering for a shitty PR play.

Putting out a heated blanket for the cat was a terrible decision because now I just fall asleep on it all the time.

For like, hours.

Kinda sucks b/c it basically means I'm trapped where I am right now. For all my complaining, it isn't the WORST job, and I have benefits and stuff. I just wish I wasn't the only person holding this together.

But if I ever try to leave... what do I have that anyone would want?

Having spent most of my time maintaining grad student code written in C, that runs as command line tools and services has left me with:
- basically no ability outside my niche field
- don't know how to organise a large project sensibly
- woefully lacking in other languages

I wish I was like...
Minimally competent at my job?

Fact of the matter is, I can tell computers to do things, but I don't have enough background outside of that to tell them how to do USEFUL things (like most math) and I can't organise/structure projects for shit.

Bit of an excerpt from that VR bird game, and it's absolutely true.

I sure do love being so tired by the end of the week that I spend my entire weekend doing nothing but sleeping

Oh my god
This bullshit never ends
I'm actually in hell, aren't I? And this is my punishment

It's interesting that we actually have an identifiable "I had a litterbox problem" meow, though.

Communication!
