I have a meeting in less than an hour where I have to present stuff so I panicked and decided to post this instead. hbu?
edit: meeting got delayed but should start in 5-10 mins. Also, I’m no longer in my underwear.
Joke’s on you I’m taking a massive shit right now.
well im playing a game. I need to put in some resumes.
Nothing, I just finished breakfast while scrolling.
GL on the presentation! Yesterday I found out I can give a talk in a week and a half on some work I did several years ago. I’m kinda looking forward to it. I do that thing where I imagine I’m just presenting to one person in the room. Also I usually make some good slides, so if I freeze up I can just read off the slides. Also, practice!
Good for you and good tips. I’m still in my underwear though.
oh… er… What kind of presentation is-- nevermind, good luck anyway!
It’s about strategic consulting
I am supposed to be monitoring the tsunami warning system in Kumamoto.
What do all of these moving needles mean?
that sounds umm… could you do that please?
Its fine I had to mute it anyway, its been making a bloody beeping noise for the last twenty-five minutes. Never heard that before, very distracting.
you got a five thirteen!!!
There’s a repair shop for those just up the hill from you.
Have you tried turning it off and then leaving it off? That worked for my carbon monoxide detector.
I might try that after dinner, the beeping was two short tones and two long tones which the user manual says is a type 096 system error, not to be muddled with two long tones and two short tones which means dangerous coastal flooding & powerful currents immanent.
(When the code repeats indefinitely, and you can’t remember which part was first.)
I’m unemployed so I have a billion tasks in no specific order, and no boss to push me to do it:
- order stuff for a non-profit
- write some documents for that same non-profit, they are not organized at all
- clean my desktop
- study
- play the drums
- read non-tech books
- do some bodyweight
- NOT play Steam while drinking beer for 4 hours
I have 4 hours left, it should be easy but being unemployed for 6 months and constantly rejected is making me feel like shit. I’ll see what I can do though.
I’m sorry you’re out of a job. If i may offer some unsolicited advice, maybe start by doing some kind of self care exercise. Like thinking about the things you appreciate about yourself or idk, maybe just allowing yourself to take your time with your chores.
Unemployment will fuck up your mental health. And yeah, rejection is rough but don’t think any less of yourself due to it.
Not currently having a role in the mindless production of a heartless society does not reflect on your value as a person, a friend, or even a worker.
Stay strong. <3
That’s some great unsolicited advice and I appreciate that. I’ll keep that in mind and add it to my routine. Thanks!
no prob, friend.
I did everything and more thanks to you! I’ll see if there is a community for procrastinators to post their todo lists…
I’m scrolling while waiting for code I wrote to finish running, so I’m not supposed to be doing anything else really.
“What are you doing honey?”
“Working”
“Looks like you’re playing nethack again”
“I’m waiting for the CICD pipeline”
pretty sure you’re supposed to look at the pixelz
Two monitors, so I can have Lemmy on one and keep the IDE in my peripheral vision on the other.
I am supposed to be responding to an email but I’m really angry about it and distracting myself to calm down so the response is work appropriate.

Well, there’s no immediate time crunch on changing these electrical outlets, but that’s what my phone and coffee are putting off for now.
Being at a beach with family. Got overstimulated so much breathing was hard, barely made it to a air-conditioned room and try to catch some dry time.
Beach is dirty Ocean water is dirty Sun causes cancer
Never understood the draw
I should be finishing up a morning walk and getting started working, but I can never get enough sleep these days
I hear that
Sleeping
Sleeping. I also have no underwear on. Good luck in your naked meeting.
Thanks. I’m having it right now. I’m not naked and it’s going well.
Nothing, this is my scheduled scrolling time
Also, I’m no longer in my underwear.
I was nervous about the phone interview (no video) for my first job, so I took a shower before it started. But I didn’t realize we were in different time zones, so the call came an hour sooner than I expected. I did the interview with a towel wrapped around me. I got the job.
beautiful
I was late on my first day for the same reason. 🙃 But I soon realized my mistake and worked with them for a couple of years before moving on to something else.
Yeah you gotta shower at work
Nah, just take one when you get the job. Then never again. For luck. 😉
They gotta test the eye rinse full body shower periodically. so what if i make sure it works every day. it’s for a safety, honey
Absolutely nothing. Long Covid has me confined to my bed for the rest of my life and I’m “free” to do whatever is not too taxing.
Dang. How has that gone, if you don’t mind me asking?
Awfully. At first I just didn’t get well again after the initial infection. But at least I could still walk about and do little stuff, like loading the dishwasher, going on short walks, playing D&D online.
Bad mistakes. Every time I did a little too much I got even worse and could do less and less. My incompetent GP who didn’t believe in Long Covid didn’t help either.
About four years later and I can only leave the bed to go number 2. No idea how long that will last. We already bought a bed pan. But using that looks even harder rhan going myself. We’ll see.
Now that I know more I’m positive that I actually had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis even before the infection. Just not that bad. But I shan’t tell that anyone because all the science is now done on Long Covid. Even though ME has been known for about half a century and Long Covid is just an umbrella term for everything that can persist after a Covid infection.
Even after we’ve got millions of more cases ME patients are just gaslit or at best ignored.
Don’t answer if this is too much, but: how are you taken care of? I’d be scared of not making rent if I lost my job. Is there a program or something for people that are essentially bed bound? I don’t know a lot about that system.
I’m in Germany, so I have a pretty good safety net. But I was also lucky to have my wife to fill out all the paperwork and my parents to support us financially (and also with the paperwork) until it was all sorted out.
I get an early pension. The only bad part about that is that I have to reapply every three years or so. My wife gets paid to take care of me and we have an additional pool we can pay to external helpers.
On top of that I have disability insurance. I kind of was about to change it to a higher tier a year or so before Corona. But I didn’t feel like doing that paperwork. Now I wish I did.
Still, with everything together we can kind of keep living like we did before. I’m just missing around the house for chores and repairs and stuff.
So sorry to hear. Thank you for sharing.
