After action report on Operation Rolling Deep [Drugs]
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.
Work bullshit (-)
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.
Work bullshit (-)
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…
Anxiety
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.
Gateway Station Huskybot Headcannon Time!
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.
Gateway Station Huskybot Headcannon Time!
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.
@bizbot Please give me a new job.
Five games to play to know more about me:
1) Mass Effect Series (Spacer, Sole Survivor, 100% complete, Liara romance, Ashley is Virmire Survivor, Saved the Council, Destroyed Collector base, Reprogrammed Geth, Cured Genophage, made peace between Geth and Quarians, Synthesis Ending.)
4) Horizon: Zero Dawn
5)X-Com, Enemy Within (no country leaves, no squad member dies)
