You need to make money to be successful in my opinion.

Yeah but the government just gives me money now that I'm back in school and that poo poo is way easier than cooking for 60-70 hours a goddamn week. Plus now I can see a doctor at the campus health center, something that's been missing from my life for the past two years.

Work is for chumps, stay in school forever.

No I don't think I'll do that grad school doesn't seem very cool IMO and the money they give you is not a lot.

So it turns out I'm moving next week which is much worse than it was last week, because last week it was "I'm moving in a few weeks' time" which is much more comforatble than "next week"

Place has a nice garden though, gonna have to get a barbecue.

How were you unsure of when your own move-date was? I don't follow.

I wasn't, it's a perspective difference between the 30th of May being "a couple weeks' time" from last week, to it being this week's next week. Makes it feel much closer despite objectively not being much different.

Oh! I misread; your original post does seem to imply that. My bad. Good luck with your move; I don't think we'll ever be finished unpacking, and ours was over a year ago. It's just so convenient to keep boxes of crap in the closet when they're items that don't really have a "use" anyway (photo albums, mementos, projects I keep telling myself I'll get around to, etc).

I am in this exact same situation only with the 1st of June instead of 30th of May and with "a square of concrete" instead of "a nice garden".

Thankfully I will be going to a place with pre-existing internet so disruption to my posting schedule will be minimal.

Mine too! I was much more happy than I had any right to be when the BT engineer told me that internet would be turned off at the old place and on at the new place on the same day. How would I survive if I couldn't get my fix of posting and playing awful internet tank games?

I'm moving too and we set up the FiOS a week ago despite the fact that we're not moving for another week still. My bf left a laptop there for us to VPN into for some reason too. INTERNET IS IMPORTANT.

But should we let random chance inconvenience us like this? Especially when it can be so easily fixed?

I guess what I'm saying is, is there really a role for the random roll of the roll?

Well my new place comes with a springer spaniel for some of the month, which is a Sufficiently Large Dog to be considered worthwhile. So that would solve your hypothetical problems - if you can't do internet stuff you can do dog stuff.

Jokatgulm is tedium.
Jokatgulm is pain.
Jokatgulm is suffering.

Some high schoolers are having a pre-graduation party in one of the party areas in my neighborhood, they are 10 stories down and 100 meters away and they still make my apartment pulsate. I really hope they stop before I decide to go to bed since I can't get to them and ask them to turn it down. At least the weather is ok, so I can sit on the balcony until then.

Does that actually work as ear plugs? Anyway they've turned it down by now so it's allright.

I used to do that at band practices when I forgot my actual earplugs. Also at shows sometimes so I could hear the bands better and because I'm autistic.

If monster trucks were wrestling, Grave Digger would be Stone Cold Steve Austin.
