I have been asked to join a new initiative to help make my preferred task in the River Tribe the best is could possibly be. This is getting pushed hard by my manager and has buy-in from key stakeholders and some of the better members of our chapter of the tribe.

I am apparently well thought of, not just by my manager, but also other members of the tribe that wished they could hire more of me.

This was both relieving and unbelievable, cause i have the biggest case of impostor syndrome.

GL,SL.

Today is very much a "Dave is here under protest and duress" kind of day.

Starting my week of being primary on-call, so it's another week-long embargo on burns to planet Weed, cause I might be needed to drive downtown anytime, so yay for that.

Didn't exactly have the best evening Saturday, and am feeling kind of unsettled from it.

And today is the first day of double E-patches, so any instability of the emotion core is nothing to be worried about. it surely won't effect anything else, right?

I guess I'll just learn how to draw, since I can't seem to get any art.

HRT, chassis retrofit. 

Checked in with my retrofit manager. E-patch UAT has completed with no Sev-1 errors or Andon alarms, so retrofit is ramping up to production speed, double of UAT speed. Up to two patches applied at a time, twice a week, now. Retrofit manager has put in an order for more patches, as current inventory will be depleted ahead of schedule. Will monitor and report as needed.

There is a long, whiny, self-pitying essay that has been building and writing itself in my head for a long few years now, and every so often I get tempted to write it up and post it. But then I think better, knowing none of my friends want to hear me bitch and complain. I try to use it as motivation instead to change thing things i'm upset about. And sometimes it helps and i think its been working. Other days it gets really bad and I just want to watch the world burn.

Hey Masto. Thanks for the positive responses yesterday. They really helped keep me from crashing catastrophically, and actually made last night happy and fun. I appreciate and love everyone of you awesome gay queer weirdos and I want nothing but the best for all of you. Good lift, and Safe landing, friends.

CW: MH-, Moodcrash, anyone have a spare hug? 

(redrafted) And now my brain has decided that now is the perfect time to launch into a TEDtalk about all the ways I am unloved and unlikable and unwanted and will be forever. This is not what I planned to do with my mental cycles today. I've got way more important shit to do and I know it isn't true but this useless lump of fuck and chemicals and barely-registerable voltage has chosen to waste my fucking time with this.

For Halloween, I'm going as the scariest thing I could think of: a trans black Millennial in a hoodie with a smartphone.

Task list is huge, energy reserves small. Got a quarter tank of fuel, a full cart of Plushberry. Woke up in the dark, and I broke my sunglasses.

Hit it.

Is anyone else kind of paralyzed when they try to just buy normal shoes online? Like there are way to many options and variations and you just can't make up your mind? Or is that just me?

A thought to remember retrieved from planet weed: 

Numetal is giant robot action battles in musical form. It has the same timbre and emotionally resonant noises as giant sci-fi machinery going to war. And the reason you latched onto it was because you discovered both all around the same time.

re: The failings of capitalism, music deprivation 

I bring it up because on Monday, i heard a Smashing Pumpkins song that I NEVER knew existed and I was so fucking mad. cause it was a fucking wonderful track that rocked, and was so very different from the videos they had and the singles on the radio. and it made me think about all the potentially awesome music i never heard growing up like everyone else did.

The failings of capitalism, music deprivation 

Growing up, I wasn't given many options for discovering music. I had what was on radio, MTV, & VH-1. I never quite made the connection that the bands I saw had more than the few singles that were promoted & released on their own, or for a video. I wasn't deprived from music (dad got grumpy about swears, though.) It never dawned on me that I could acquire and experience a whole other side to acts that I enjoyed, the side the labels didn't tell me about
