Arrived at work. A fellow employee (but not colleague) arrived in his very fancy, 1000 hp (slight exaggeration, but only slight) BMW. A steady "whompa whompa whompa..." came from his speakers. Absolutely no variation. After a while the whompa suddenly dropped half an octave, absolutely no other change. "whampa whampa whampa..." After a handful of seconds it went up again "whompa whompa whompa..."
I had a thought: "People read too little."

I had a thought: "People read too little." Was in a very similar situation a while ago, I was stuck in traffic for 15 minutes so I let the windows down, the guy in front of me in his black Audi with shiny rims played music that was so repetitive I thought his audio system was fucked. But no, after about 10 minutes of WHOOOMP WHOOOMP WHOOOMP there was a short break and a drum solo and then it immediately reverted back to the war drums. Some people are very easy to please I thought.

Some people are very easy to please I thought. I'm in that weird camp, where I love the slow evolution of techno music. Cause there's always tiny changes in every verse, every repetition. Alot of folks I've talked with, say they don't notice it. But its clear as day to me.

Got me a hat today. I always wanted one for outdoors and rainy days, but I didn't want to go the cowboy / ranger route and by the gods, not fedoras. So here it is, something a little more classical. I also have a leather jacket in the exact same leather color.

Just saved a Baby snake from the fangs of my cat. It was like only 12cm or so long, tiny thing, not much more than the average earthworm. Hope its ok.

Today I shaved off my chin beard, I only have a mustache now. I have to say I like it that way.......despite my friends saying I look like a cop, fireman or a WWI German soldier.

If Maverick from R6:Siege can rock a Pokol, then so can I. Incidentally, we both share the same first name of "Erik", so there's that too.

Today I did the thing, and bought the season pass for Battletech. Not something I normally do, but with 2/3 of the planned DLC out, and a third in development...well...I'll take the risk that the third doesn't get released. Really excited to try and play the game now. 3 new battle mech chassis, some new maps, and even branching side stories. This gon' be good.
The only downside to today, is finding out, over the last 2 weeks, I gained 2 lbs. No idea how that one happened, but ok. we move on

Today I learned that I'm about to lose my job. Cost cutting and all that stuff. Didn't see that coming, I must have been blind or delusional because in retrospect, the signs were already there, like the sky darkening before a thunderstorm. Maybe I just didn't want to see the truth, or maybe I was just blind and deaf. The industry I'm working in has been struggling for years, from too much competition and too many structural changes in companies we are supplying, so I'm gonna have to start from scratch. Been doing that job for 15 years now. No Idea what I'm gonna do now. My health sucks too, old problems rearing their ugly heads again. Ah.....when shit starts rolling, it just keeeeeeeeeeps coming.

That sucks Beetle. Hope you find something asap, even if it's just to keep you going until you can get something permanent. Best of luck.

Thanks guys. I'm going to apply to the employment program my country offers, meaning I get some cash and they cram me into some (usually) crap bum job I can do until I find me something more suitable/sustainable. I just hope its not a super crap job, I don't feel so great lately, I'm so tired all the time.

So it was my oldest kiddo's bday party today, lets just say he didn't bother to fight me to assemble all his new lego kits. Not gonna lie, I spent more time playing with his toys than he did 😂.

It seems I am finally getting my life back on track! I have been unemployed for almost a year now, and had to move back to my parents'. In the span of a week, I got 3 jobs (it's a lot but I very much need it, and one of them I actually enjoy, so yay!), and a place to stay (I love my parents, but thanks god I don't have to live with them anymore, at least for now) .
