ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
me booting up the CK3 game of thrones mod when i've had a bad day
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
anyway i realised i was still using my march plurk because hahaha march is eternal
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
it's my own birth month and i'm like we aren't reclaiming this one for awhile
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i have to take my car to the shop tomorrow which fills me with dread but the idea of letting that problem persist fills me with even greater dread
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i am not taking it to a chain place
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i found the highest rated lil guy on yelp
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i usually went to the chain place for my brakes/tires because they would let me pay over time but this is not that
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
my mom had this 2000 chevy tracker at one point that i was driving and it was maybe hmmmm 7 or 8 years old at that point? and it had a rattle
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
and what had happened was that a rubber piece underneath had broken and that rubber piece is what kept the exhaust pipe secured
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
so the rattle was it bouncing lol
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
and the metal fatigue from this eventually broke the exhaust manifold in the engine
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
100% drivable it was just LOUD
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
$2000 repair because a $20 piece of rubber broke at some point
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i do not want this and i want to stop going over bumps like my car is going to shatter so please fix my baby
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
but also i frame that in my mind as like
that car was also driven for several years in upstate new york before we drove it to georgia
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the mileage and wear and tear was significantly more than my nissan that was only ever in georgia and then here
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
but also i just don't want a potentially worsening metal fatigue issue to go until the failure point
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i also have to do my taxes this week because the only way i will do them is if i force myself to be stressed about them by waiting until the last minute
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
one year i waited until the night before and it was the night where like one of the tax programs had a fucking outage so i had to switch to the other one
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
SMART ENOUGH TO NOT BE THAT STUPID AGAIN
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
maybe two years from now i can use that money for fun (no)
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
this year i have to get my car registered in this state finally because it's going to be expensive because they will want me to pay back taxes and uggggh
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
anything left over will be going on a credit card or the one student loan payment i have to make and i feel a sense of progress but also uggggh
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
work is a tomorrow min problem
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
UGGGGH so like at least $160 for them to say "nothing wrong with your car actually"
"the engine mounts are a little weak"
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
like ok fine
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
that isn't a real complaint because the anxiety about this huge imagined repair is worth more than that i suppose
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
and he could've upsold me and convinced me something was wrong with it so
appreciate the honesty??? idk
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i also took an uber home and my roommate was like you should've asked
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i don't want people to drop what they're doing to come get me but i appreciate the offer lol
she can drive me back though
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
THEY DIDNT CHARGE ME
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
good people still exist
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i thanked them and told them i would give them return business because that's very nice of them i was ready to pay
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
today is less stressful which is great because yesterday was rough lol
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
my team lead is really in my corner and I was like
LAURA I AM STRESSED and she was like
how can I help and also let's tell these people we need time
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
which was like the crumb of support I needed to get my shit together and now I have a game plan lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the game plan is mostly arm myself with facts but that is always a good start
management hates this one trick (clear and undeniable numbers on a page)
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
although I said I was gonna wait until I had one more meeting to reach out to two other people she was like
well I want to flag these concerns now!!
and she is right but I need the RSD to chill the fuck out a little today huh
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
did my taxes...
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i'm an adult...
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
fuckin hate it here lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the amount of ways the government just keeps on taking money IT'S SO GREAT
do you want to be penalised for not having health insurance? love that
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i'm very dumb and no one told me this so lesson learned if i lose my job i gotta enroll in medical or they will nickel and dime me lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
might play a little elden ring to unwind
today is therapy
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
and she didn't cancel today and it's a week overdue lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
oh HAPPY DAY i am not on the hook for finished docs on the 28th
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
I could cry happy tears
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i'm getting cinnabon today because i deserve it
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
squints at tickets being thrown into my backlog where all involved are like "yes we approve these changes" and no one ??? talked to me??? lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
Josh that's not how it works!!!
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
Anyway
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
these tickets are small and probably pointless because we don't put market upsell bullshit in the docs and these are 3 year old blog posts with outdated branding ffs
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
next week I need to do the rough sketch more or less of the new dev portal updates but the ui isn't finalised so it doesn't have to be perfect but then I'll be a week ahead and I like being a week ahead
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
internet has been out all fucking day which is ANNOYING
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
basically nuked all my plans today including dnd
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i'm on my hotspot but ugh
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
it's too laggy to actually do anything
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i'm going to go eat and then do tags i guess SINCE I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
which is probably a good thing but i have to get myself out of the frustrated anticipation mode i'm in first
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
my boss like
"sorry the meeting is on a release that doesn't involve you"
NEVER APOLOGISE FOR CANCELING A MEETING
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
I do have to write a monthly progress report to say I haven't done shit because I have been blocked for a month but also
not my fault lol
