The next few weeks
I actually showed my therapist a recent friends-only LJ entry with a lot of concerns on it. I've definitely not been myself this week; so much shit going on in my life ( Read more... ) -

84,945
While down "significantly" over the last few months, that's not abnormal for the summer. My only concern is this election = uncertainty = companies less likely to expand.
It's still a good tech market. And has been now for a good 3-4 years. -
The good, the bad and not the ugly
The good, regarding my fucking brain:
"In short, cognitive abilities are intact. I see no signs of either specific deficits or of generalized cognitive loss. He is having quite a bit a difficulty with anxiety and depression.

This is scary. That's almost 10% down from 5 weeks ago.
Of course, it is the beginning of summer. It'll probably get below and stay below 84,000 in October/November. Why? Clinton/Trump = Uncertainty. Uncertainty = fewer jobs. -
The Job, The Brain Mechanic, The Other Brain Mechanic, and a Poker Update

If that number gets over 100K, it likely will be a super-hopping tech economy. As opposed to merely "damn good!" -
On too many damn things and the future
I've been in unhappier spots in my life but not many. Every time this last decade I've felt like I'm in a midlife crisis, it just gets more crisisy. Yeah, probably not a word, "crisisy", but it fits ( Read more... ) -

Some happier news
As many of you know, I fought my first lawsuit last year and basically won. The only downsides, other than incurring $2,100 in legal bills so far (yes, it's not 100% finished yet) is the debt wouldn't be removed from my record and I would get a 1099-C ( Read more... )
