I have been hating myself this year for being "distractible" and unproductive at work. It's hard to focus, hard to stay motivated. But I think I've realized that I'm not actually distracted from work at all. Work IS the distraction. This year has made it impossible to ignore what's important: friends, relationships, place, health, life. Work was always what was pointless, and it's merely extra difficult to lie to myself about that this year.

checkout form: "and what is the expiration date of this credit card?"

me: "octob---"

checkout form: "🚨🚨🚨 THATS EXPIRED!!!! 🚨🚨🚨"

me: "let me fucking finish putting in the year okay? jesus."

I'm trying hard to remember the best things.

aight y'all, my Valve Index arrived this week. Who are my VR homies? and also what should I do with this thing

i think if you're not from an abusive household, you might believe in some mental scoreboard where like, if you're nice sometimes and nasty sometimes, that it evens out. But for someone who was abused, each nice word counts as +1, and each nasty word counts as -1000.

Being nasty to a person who has a history of being abused, even just a few times, makes them cut you loose pretty much permanently. Preserving those friendships requires being thoughtful with your words.

It saddens me to watch friends who complain bitterly that they feel alone and disconnected, but also constantly lash out at everyone around them.

me after Thanksgiving 2019: "that was almost too many people to fit in the house! I wish I had a way to handle the size of the event for next year"

it's finally cold enough for me to wear my favorite hat! =^.^=

PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA, the season of Won't Rain has ended. Today is the first day of Might Rain, so please look out in the yard and remind yourself of all the objects you may have left outside for the last 9 months assuming they couldn't possibly get wet, and bring them in now

already crying in the shower and the apocalypse hasn't even started yet.

now explaining to my european friend that "chicken fingers" and "hand turkeys" are unrelated concepts. it's a common misconception i guess!

if I say that one of my coworkers is "quite a character", it means that I fantasize about driving over them with an industrial riding mower and then laughing a hearty belly laugh as their guts are sprayed in a fine pink mist into the wind and taken away forever

We weren't comfortable with table service at restaurants but we did get to cook ourselves some decent meals! Now back to the grind...

hey I left the house! We had a lovely weekend of hiking out on the coast for our anniversary. Was good to get away for a bit.

bad thoughts

it just occurred to me that since nobody will be having an office Halloween party this year, there will be no campus security restrictions on face covered costumes... Sorely tempted to wear my fursuit to a team meeting!
