So, I'm choosing to miss Bandaza this year in order to visit my dad back in MN. We have a family tradition of hanging out together the day after thanksgiving. We called it "Buddies' Day." My little brother continued the tradition after i left for CA, but since he just graduated and started his at Drake, Dad would've been by himself. I think he wasn't looking forward to that, cause he actually mentioned it a few month's ago when I called back home. Mom and Dad don't know i'm coming.

6. These skills require their own tools that I take great joy from using.
7. These skills give the greatest joy when used in the service of others repairing their own tools.
8. That is why I went into IT. Because the technology we made as a species contains some of our finest toolsets for creation.
9. And creation, the act of expressing thought and desire and will and shaping the world and the universe around us is holy.

MDMA this weekend synthesized some words out of emotions and I'd like to share them.

1. Humans are tool makers and tool users.
2. Making and using tools is ESSENTIAL to human experience.
3. Tools do not come in only one form, but they are ALL important.
4. Tools must be maintained, properly cared for, and properly protected in order to fulfill their Karma.
5. I, personally, have developed and nurtured skills from my natural affinity with a certain set of tools.

I started crying remembering and reaffirming my Work and remembering why I love doing it. Jokes were made, kisses exchanged, love was shared and amplified, sent out and replied with in kind.

In closing, a very beneficial experience and I am very much looking forward to my next roll.

Saturday night was wonderful and joyful and emotional and very needed. The ramp up was slow because of the big sushi meal I had before hand. The journey’s momentum was assisted with video games, music and snuggling.

At peak, I felt light in the soul and effortless on my feet. Between sing-alongs and snuggles with various plush. time was spent rediscovering core truths about myself.

Hi Awoo. I haven't really said much tonight cause I've been having a time. But I just wanted you all to know that i appreciate and love each and everyone of you. This was a good night.

I really don't like it when Firefox updates. Half of my extensions stop working and i can never get back to what I had when everything was how I wanted it. I think I am becoming an old man yelling at the cloud.

Fuck being a contractor. This blatant disregard for my life for your bonus is fucking unethical. Too bad it's not criminal. Even if it should be. If I had the spoons/knives for it, I would really want to fight to get a proper IT workers union started. No one should have this little dignity in their employment.

Some background: I work for company 1. C1 place me as a tech under contract for company 2. C2 has multiple clients at multiple local locations of which I work at 2; on 2 days a week at C3 and one 3 days at C4. My handler told me that the time-off mandate came from C2, so that they can save money, while my partner is telling me that it is so that C1 can get more money for certain C1 employees. My handler also said that i can in no way tell C3 and C4 why I have to be OoO.

…in the next two weeks. My partner who I share an office with 3/5 days of my work week told me this happens every year, and that it is not a directive from the client, but a directive from my employer because my employer gets incentives to minimize billable hours.

So, last week, my handler called me "we have been asked by our client to minimize billable hours, so you need to take 40 hours Unpaid time off before 12/22. PTO can't be used to cover the hours and the UPTO must be used before any PTO can be used."

Naturally, I was pretty confused as to how the client was able to dictate my hours, but I was told that i had to deal with it. My PTO for Bandaza had already been approved, so I had to somehow shoehorn in loosing a week of work…

…A while, since i could…
hold my head up high.

Oh, good e'en, anxiety. I wasn't expecting to run into you this hallow's eve. What dire news do you bring me to rob me of sleep and send tears cascaded like rain into my ears as I lay lying in this hand me down bed? What's that? Will I ever find work that fits me and allows survival without destroying what self worth I've been able to salvage? How the hell should I know? I wanted news, not the same questions I keep asking in the dark every night! Thanks for nothing. Asshole.

I have a hard time going from nothing to something, but using building blocks and refined materials has ALWAYS come naturally to me. Lego, Loops, Furniture, Tetris, Computer components. Once I fall into that glowing hole inside my head, i always feel sorry when I am pulled out of it. Sometimes I get forcibly dragged in there, chasing a sudden inspiration that takes over my whole mind. @mawr calls those "engineer brain attacks" And I really can't dispute the name.

I wanted to make my hands a forge. To build and create and bring forth things that had only existed in my mind. I suppose that's why I latched onto Lego at such a young age and never really let go; building things was such a peaceful thing and the best way for me to find flow and focus. I felt that way making music in GarageBand. The emptiness of defying entropy through sheer will and creativity is the closest i feel to how others describe religious or transcendent experiences.

Once a month, M-AI has to gather up all the Rhos and send them on a clean up mission to collect all the balls they lost track of.

Spaced around the public areas of the station are small glowing yellow buttons about 30cm off the ground. At any time, a Rho-bot can boop her snoot or paw against the button and launch a RFID-tagged portable fuzzy amusement sphere from the nearest concealed launcher cannon. The problem comes when multiple Rho's launch balls at the same time, the can loose track of the tags and some spheres get lost in corners and vents.

Good morning, cruel world.

@bizbot​ Please give me a new job.
