Interdimensional Observer Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Around the day or two before I finished OG1, it dawned on me I had spent over a week utterly enthralled by a single old PS2 game, recalling sweet childhood to me. And what else had I done? Nothing else. Sure part of that was because covid illness, but, it still seemed pretty sad. After such a period of unbridled happiness, one in a lifestyle that isn't properly balanced, I started to question if naturally I would fall into another melancholic episode. Thankfully, that hasn't happened, yet. But, I am feeling, if not melancholic, a tad self-loathing right now. Career. It's a word that to my depressed death-obsessed mind has no value (again, it's not active right now), for there is no meaning in a life spent in a profession when the ultimate end is, well, you know. Yet, I remember how all my teachers, all my professors, they were delighted by me and the eagerness I displayed in the classroom. Backed by the quality of my writing. None of that writing has been properly preserved by me, my beautiful academic prose is no longer. And I haven't spent a day since university's end looking for an historical career of any kind. The teacher's pet I was, that I thrived on being, that I wish I could be again, is feeling that kind of ancestral, familial, tribal, national shame at having done nothing to live up to their expectations. -I tell myself that I don't really need to look right now. Not when parents are thinking of downsizing and the relocation will bring complications. Complications that will only grow when they decide to move out of state, and I of course, being more deep sea tube worm that surrounds a geothermal vent than human, will invariably follow with them. I heard them speaking of their plans to sell the house and where exactly to relocate to. I can't stand it. Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP! Just tell me where we're headed day before we leave, that's all I want to hear! I know you need to discuss the matters. But this keeps reminding me I need a job! A job I could have had a half-decade ago you if only you had busted out the whip for ten minutes in my entire life instead of pampering me like a fourth dog. To support them in their old age with any old job, that should be enough to provide me with that pinch of labor to provide me with balance in life. I have no dreams. If I'm so deficient as to be unable to avoid shaming my professors, at least let me try repaying that irreparable debt good parents foster upon their children. -I say this, but like thunder, I am but sound, without effect in the mundane world below. So, yeah, not depression, but I'm not exactly enthused by myself right now.😑 Not that I can do a whole lot right now. I've still that covid cough, and I've missed out on helping with raking the leaves, I couldn't help with then Thanksgiving dinner, I couldn't help with setting up and decorating the Christmas tree. I couldn't do any of my few daily chores. I'm feeling a like a drifter through existence, which seems to be my signature state of being, and I'm not proud of that. That December is upon us and end-of-year reflection is also a thing... *sigh* 5 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Unoriginality and the pain of having to name thousands and thousands of settlements. It's the same almost everywhere. Like: Can you tell me this is Massachussets or a disfigured England? Taking from New England is low-hanging fruit though. Or really any of the 13 original colonies. Midwest and beyond is more telling. There are also 25 small towns named "Cairo" in the USA. I read about that once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what game does put checkpoints before the bosses? Metroid Dread. And also Samus Returns. And also like most Metroidvanias i've played, they place a save point like one or two rooms before.

Acacia Sgt Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Ah, I'd say, just about the only prospect of the job I didn't like is the 12-hour workdays. It's countered a little by only being four days a week. Not that it's a big confort. I'd take working almost the entire week if it meant less hours per day. Oh well, at this point beggars can't be choosers. It took me months to have this chance, better not waste it since who knows when another might show up. In the meantime, I think I'll finally finish up Broken Steel. Edited December 1, 2021 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not surprising that happened though, Odin hates magic levels so much he goes beyond mathematical logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the good news there is that Elly could simply get some hair dye and achieve the look.

There is a study that shows four-day work weeks are more beneficial but i don't think 12 hours was part of the study.

Acacia Sgt Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) It's 48 hours the week. Which could be spread as eight hours a day for six days the week, leaving the obligatory free day. Or what sounds like the "median standard" or so. Did that study also defined the hours per week, with the insinuation it could be less hours worked due to only being four days a week? Since beneficial to who, the workers and/or the company? Edited December 1, 2021 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
