Last night at work I got to only do one job. Which was a nice change of pace and it was the job I first trained on in my new area. So for the most part, it was a low stress day. I feel bad for my coworker, Eric. He had to carry a little extra since we were short handed and that meant he had to pick up most of the slack. He seemed to handle it well ( Read more... )

Another kind of rough day running a job from my new area and a job from my old area. Today I did the other half of the D3 system. I cleaned the press and transferred it over. Simple enough job, but first I had a leak after I closed it back up and then it didn't transfer all the way, so I had to add water and try again. Nothing serious, but one of ( Read more... )

I recently got transferred out to LIX, which is one of the sister departments in my job. Because my old department is short handed, I have been trying to do a job in each area. Luckily, both jobs are fairly easy so it is doable. Today and yesterday I did both the D3 tank (new area) and the Crystalizer (old area). Doing D3 I needed to adjust the pH ( Read more... )

So I've been trading on a stock app for about 3 and a half years now. With the exception of the first couple weeks, I've been doing quite poorly. Last week though, was my best week doing it. I'm hoping that this week will continue the trend and finally get me back to green.

I don't even know what to write, I just feel like I should write something. I don't know if it is because of all the time off or what, but I've been kind of bumming. It's kind of a combination of old insecurities rearing their heads, loneliness as far as my singleness, and some deep conversations the last week. Old insecurities like wondering if I ( Read more... )

Back in college when I was a very active D&D player I came up with an idea for a campaign. I created a continent, plus I had general ideas for two other continents and an alternate universe type setting. The two side continents had basic histories with an idea for a big bad and a general outline of how I wanted things to go. The main continent had ( Read more... )

I'm halfway through my 3 day weekend. I was hoping that it would be a productive weekend, but so far, I've been more lazy and social than anything. Friday I got really drunk so most of Saturday was me being old, other than going out for dinner at Oliver's. Tonight's my last night off, so I need to get my ass in gear ( Read more... )

So while I have been doing well while everyone else has been going downhill, there is one negative in my life that seems to be rearing its ugly head again. I live alone and have for almost 12 years now, but I get none of the benefits and all the negatives. I pay all the bills on my own, which is the negative, but I get hardly any of the benefits of ( Read more... )

So I have these 2 friends that have basically been a couple for over 5 years, without being a couple. They didn't cohabitate and they didn't share finances and that is the not being a couple part. They hung out every day, they went on trips together, etc. They worked. And all of the mutual friends have been rooting for them to make it official over ( Read more... )

I'm good and things are going well for me. As I begin to reach for the end of the year I can say that I'm more content now than I have been for a really long time. That being said, I feel like a lot of people around me are starting to crumble ( Read more... )
