I had fish for the fourth day in a row. I suppose I should have something else to eat tomorrow, lest I'll get nano-plastics or mercury poisoning, so I'm planning pasta. But actually, I'm not the least tired of fish. 😋
P.S. And rewindbutton, I'm doing fine now. I'm still isolated alone, but I've found out that having the TV turned on is great for anchoring yourself in space-time and 'normalcy'. (I don't watch much TV, but just having it on changes the atmosphere).

I just found out that a business partner of mine has an amazingly beautiful daughter, I mean like holy-crap-level of good looking! Didn't expect that, that dude is mediocre looking at best.

Not so hot today after an unpleasant experience on SWTOR. I got kicked out of a FP group after refusing to skip the cutscene because it was my first time watching it. See, this is why I hate MMOs. It's all so rushed and people are just mindlessly grinding through these missions without caring about the story. It's understandable that they've probably seen the same cutscene a dozen times, so it's not their fault, but that's why I prefer single players where I could enjoy the story at my own pace. I didn't play SWTOR for the socializing, only for the Bioware-style storytelling. Doesn't help that my "guild" wasn't really sympathetic to my humiliation, being kicked out like that for something like that. I think I'm gonna just leave the guild. I think I might as well just give up on FPs altogether if other groups are like that. I was having a blast enjoying my class storyline until this FP group soured my experience. It was a mistake. I played this game to get away from BS drama like that, to escape from my stress, not to add more of it to my life. Man, reminds me why I hate people sometimes. Hard to get along with them. I wish there's at least an option to experience the FP missions solo like with heroics. I tried doing it solo, but man, compared to heroics, FPs are on another level. That's the worst! Sorry about that. I remember this being a frequent problem in my early days of MMO gaming with Guild Wars. I gave up on MMOs altogether. I grew to hate the grind/people aspect. Mass Effect and Dragon Age were godsends when I discovered them.

Boooooooooo, went out this am to drive to a park for a nice hike on a nice day and instead my truck tells me my tire pressure is low. I get out and look and a big ass nail is stuck in my front right tire. So instead I have to go to a tire shop who tells me they will try and get to it sometime today as they are all booked up. And the tire shop right close to my place is only open mon to fri so I had to go much further.

Mass Effect and Dragon Age were godsends when I discovered them. Yeah, it's definitely a problem when you touch on the content in the game that requires you to group up with people, but as I've said, there's enough solo content in SWtOR to make it worth the time to any Bioware fan imo. The story's almost worth it. lol Especially if you've played KotOR before.

When I was building our house (we did a 1970's remodel), I often spent whole workdays alone with the radio keeping me company. It really helps, like you said.

So… We have another cat at home now, lol. My sis was taking the trash out, and she saw something, on the floor, moving in a closed plastic bag. She opens it and... There's a cat inside. A small one. We called the authorities and such, but my niece already grew fond of it (not sure if it's male or female yet, I think it's female tho) so we had to bring it home with us! On a side note: I really don't understand how someone could do something that cruel to an animal, like... How? Why? It's just despicable.

My HP 8570W mobile workstation (persona which I also use for work purposes) has really been on the fritz lately. It started witht eh System Tray completely disappearing....So I Reset Windows, and that seemed to solve that problem....But now my Audio isn't working. Device Manager says "This Device in Installed and Working Properly" but the System Tray speaker icon has a huge red X over it and when I click on it (right or left click, doesn't matter) I get a message that says "this device is missing". There is nothing in Audio Properties or Windows/Action Center/Settings that shows that any kind of any driver, device or codec is installed even after updating my Quadro K1000M mobile GPU drivers (which have Nvidia's HD Audio Codec package rolled into them). I've told told by Nvidia and MS I have to do yet another fresh, clean and new install of everything from the ground up though I have done that 2x already (and consequently not signed in for Work)....and it hasn't worked at all. Windows installed twice successfully, still the problem exists. A third time, and Windows couldn't compelte the Operation at all. I do not want to have to do it a fourth time! On the shiny side of things....I received my RGB RAM this afternoon at 1:15. The final piece of my new build.

On a side note: I really don't understand how someone could do something that cruel to an animal, like... How? Why? It's just despicable. I got my cats from the shelter, both still babies - one was thrown into a trash can, breaking his tail in the process, the other one was taken from her mother way too early and abandoned in the streets (literally). She was so full of ticks, fleas and she was so ill it took months for her to recover. The shelter is full of animals with terrible pasts, makes you lose hope in mankind, really. Congratulations to your new cat BTW, hope you gonna have a great time! (just make sure she gets the proper vaccinations and treatments against parasites.)

They were abandoned all of them as well. I am glad we gave them a home. And yes, we are taking her to the vet today. It really breaks my heart to see she was abandoned. She is so affectionate .

If I had enough property, time and resources, I'd adopt them all. I still feel bad for all the cats that begged me to take them with me (its not only dogs that do that), one I remember particularly well. I hope she's found a good place.

This happened last sunday, but I haven't had time to tell you guys. Two years ago my neighbour asked me if I wanted his 2-stroke brush cutter, because it wouldn't start. He said he never really used it anyway, and it was cheap, so he gave it away. It looked brand new, so I accepted and chucked it into the garage, thinking I'd take a look at it one day. So last sunday I did. Sure enough, wouldn't start. The primer bulb filled with petrol, but that was it. Carb adjustment did nothing, but it did cough a few times when turned to overly rich. That led me thinking it might be a fuel issue after all, so I removed the fuel filter, and what do you know! The bugger started right off. It seems that the primer bulb was strong enough to pull fuel, but the flimsy little carb wasn't. What to take from this? That combustion engines are so cheap that, when the 2 quid fuel filter gets clogged it's time to throw the whole thing away. My recommendation: If you buy cheap stuff, make sure you know how to fix it when it fails, because it will. Soon.

I don't mind warm days.....25 to 30 Celcius is fine by me. But none of this 30 feeling like 46! (Or conversely in Winter....-15 to even -20 is totally fine....But not -15 feeling like -43 with windchill. That's just wrong. That is what I don't like. The extremes on both ends.

Learn from it.
Was it questions you weren't prepared for, or did you just get "weird"? I ask this, because sometimes I do get "weird" and that's a death knell, for me at least.
Either way, it's ok. If you can stomach it, go back through it play-by-play and think about what you could have done better, and write it down.
Sorry it went rough!

Sorry EB.
Take it on as experience. Ask for feedback from the interviewer. Figure out where you went wrong, and don't let it get you down.
Maybe this one wasn't meant for you, but you don't know what's around the corner.
