Your choice was probably the wise one.

Go treat yourself to a really nice bit of chocolate tonight.

Definitely going to do that.

Chips in a tuna sandwich?

No worries

No, on the side, of course.

Back in the Old Country, there were times I had to eat raw horse!

I am, of course, being facetious.

Spoiler

The horse was cooked

Yknow I dunno, Israelis put chips into shwarma and falafel and possibly hamburgers I'm not sure. It's usually delicious. Tuna sandwhiches I'm not entirely sure about.....:although at synagogue there's often food after the service and as kids we'd put tuna onto crisps fairly regularly. Yes everyone thought we were weird. Yes we did it anyway.

~Fancy bread~ is good but chocolate is better.

And 17th Shard cures all ailments.

Oooooh, fancy bread.  I was just pondering what we ought to have for dinner.  That should be part of it, after having been warmed up in the oven.  We have homemade blackberry jam and homemade pumpkin butter to adorn said fancy bread.

Sounds delicious! I am currently eating microwaved chicken and rice, because I have a choir concert I have to be at at 5:45 (in about 35 minutes). 

Rather be eating ~fancy bread~ and jams and butters though.

I'm an hour earlier than you are, so still at work.

We should eat something for dinner besides just bread, though.  I'll have to see what the grocery store has available.

If I ever get the chance, I will enforce a new school class; one that is required for all citizens of America: How to: use a printer and access/make your own email accounts. Seriously though, printers have been around for... I think before the 1980's. How can people not know how to use them?

In fairness, our printers don't have the most user-friendly interface. See, what it wants you to do is scan your library card barcode, then enter your four-digit PIN. Sounds easy enough, but you start at a touchscreen where "Printing" is an option. Pick that, and it takes you to a screen prompting you to enter your barcode number, with no indication that you can simply scan it, so we'll have patrons who enter their number by hand (and it's a pretty long number) on a touchscreen that is notorious for picking up the wrong entries, and it blacks out the numbers that are entered besides. To make matters worse, the "Enter your barcode" screen and the "Enter your password" screen look identical, save for the text prompts, so a lot of patrons will enter their PINs when they should have entered their barcodes. Not to mention the fact that it says "Enter your password" instead of "Enter your PIN," so people will get confused, because they have a PIN, but they never set up a password. 

Still. I cannot tell you how aggravating it is that, upon receiving an error message, patrons will immediately assume there's something wrong with the machine instead of trying it again on their own—after, of course, reading the clear and concise directions I wrote up and printed off and put on display right next to the printer where I was sure they'd see the sign.

….

And now that I finally have the chance to kick back and relax, Bruce is playing with one of his toys, chasing it into the little cracks between wall and furniture, whimpering for help every time he can't reach his toy. He seems oblivious to the fact that fun can be had away from these cracks. I officially give up on today.

I'm sitting here after working, with one more exam left to write. And I'm just so storming tired. Do not want to study. Do not want to be awake. Do not want to get sick (I'm getting sick). Want to play Witcher 3 and/or sleep. But here I am trying to study (and failing, and ending up on 17th shard). 

Feeling worn out. /blargh
(At least the snow is pretty! When I have time to look. And am not currently shoveling the bedeviled stuff).

Thanks

Took the dog for a walk and worked on a new game for a bit. Doesn't stop the pain but it definitely helps in dealing with it.

@bleeder College/University, in my final year now.

I know I should just be grateful. That the job markets really bad right now. That my job is decent wage. But...

That meeting I was at, they said that what they were looking for were people who want to make security their full-time career.

I don't. But I have no other experience, no funds, no transport. I feel like I've backed myself into a corner with life.

What about your idea to open a nerd shop with comics etc? (It was yours, right?)

Yeah, and even if I had the money (I font)... my brother pointed out that there isn't exactly  a market for that around hee.

Make your country's Internet your market! it's relatively easy and cheap to create an online shop using existing tools. you can run it from your home at the beginning or a garage Google started in a garage!

I'm wondering if maybe my being down isn't related to me stressing over the upcoming trip to Spokane. I guess I'm worried about....everything. 

Im worried Bruce won't handle being on the plane well. He's flying in the cabin with me, and I've spent the past two months getting him used to the crate, but I still worry. 

....

Storm it. Every time I try to get this off my chest, I'm interrupted. I'm drained, I'm tired, I'm really resenting Formerly Pushy Coworker, and I just want to curl up and cry.

Inhale pink, exhale blue.

You can do this.  Your family does not have the hold over your life that they once did, and a holiday trip isn't going to change that.  No matter what happens, no matter what anyone says, just remember that they cannot do a single dingdangity thing about how you choose to live your life and it's probably driving them nuts.

You know, something similar once happened with my sister just before our seasonal visit to our dad's house in Texas.

They can start a fight while I'm there and blame me for it. Nothing they can do when I come back, but they can make those four days I'll be there miserable.

She got all nervous and drained and wanted to throttle the next person who couldn't figure out the printer?
