Toast

 Today was rather frustrating. I have a long term project at work that we did a cut over on Today and it didn't go well. Between frequent calls with the client... and just a general sense of being tired... I think i got caught in a hot mic moment because I swore after getting off the phone with them... and I'm honestly not sure if the call had hung up yet. Granted... I'm almost 40... but it kind of sucks not being able to voice my thoughts in a manner I'm used to. 

Needless to say it's been weighing on me for part of the evening. The only plus side today is the fact we got paid today. (Well, Katie did). I hit the bank and moved money around... Then went and got one of my tattoo's touched up. My next tattoo appointment is September 30th @ 4:00pm to get the underside of my sleeve tattoo finished. He's estimating about 3 hours for the tattoo which is reasonable. It's probably going to hurt a bunch.. which I'm fully expecting because the closer you get to your armpit the worse it hurts (for me anyways). I'm waiting on Katie to get home so that I can get the gel to put on my Tattoo. (Mad Rabbit Tattoo Repair Gel).  

Tonight I had to do follow up work on the issues from today... and also I've been reviewing Azure Migration methods so that when I take my exam on Saturday night I pass (this would be a retake of the AZ-801). After I pass, I am certified and according to my boss... there's perks that come along with it. Personally at this point I just need to focus on Doing my job. They have me dealing with Escalations from the Service Desk... as well as Tier 1 / Tier 2 NOC tasks and its really just a lot to handle. But really it seems like everyone is dealing with it so I shouldn't complain. And generally I don't. It was a bad day and I'm venting about it.


I'm tired... so I'm just going to lay down for a while.

A lot of planning...

 So, seeing as I'm now out of work again I figure my current system isn't working. If i want to be successful in business and in life, then i need to get my basics down. Recently, I've started making sheets on excel to track what I'm doing everyday. they range everything from Diet and exercise to mood and symptoms. If i don't start tracking this stuff then I'm never going to make progress. While it's easy to put these items into practice using 1000s of apps... i found that just writing it all down on a few excel spreadsheets and tracking it by hand several times a day is a lot easier to remember. And it gets me off my phone. Lately I've be "Doom Scrolling" without any real purpose and what ends up happening is eventually the AI algorithm starts showing me videos of people dying in car crashes. Not exactly what makes me happy ya know. So I've got my lists and that's what I'll be working on for the foreseeable future while i attempt t...

A Bit of Hope on a Cloudy Afternoon.

Tonight we are heading over our friends' house to have dinner and hang out for a while. December 10th isn't really a memorable date. But every year around this time of year things start to happen that give tiny moments like these a real feeling of warming. Today even, it was nearly 60 degrees at one point today and it made this brutal cold seem bearable. It's not safe to be outside during the darkest of winter. Cold brings out the worst in people, and overall it's hard to handle because it also brings out the despair in people. Merge the two together and you could be looking at a cold dark society which emerges in the spring jaded working every year to bring happiness into ones life only to suffer the cold dark winter the following year. Today i have hope though. Recently i was inspired after talking with people that care about me. The best part is... a renewed sense of hope can alter the mind in such a way... it's better than any drug or substance that you can use ...

No Sooner Did I Say....

 No sooner did i mention that I have a new job, was i laid off for excessive days off. It's really for the birds. Here i am a disabled person who wants to work... and I've had an incredibly hard time hold down a job this year. Whether it be manic episodes due to the medication my doctor put me on, or the company pulling a bait and switch and finding due to that I'm not qualified for the position, to being out sick a couple of days and getting let go... this year has been terrible. While I've had frequent thoughts of a permanent "Out" for myself from this life... it would seem like a waste to get from an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 2008 to giving it another go 17 years later. I feel like if i survived the first attempt... then i must be here on this planet for some reason so i need to make the best of my time. Even in poor health, an optimistic attitude can make the difference between healing or not.   I don't know what my plan is now. But, i know that ...
