I went from chills to a fever to the worst sleep in a long time. Constantly moving around trying to stay cool and the cats kept moving around and heating me up. Probably I should have locked them out but I liked them as emotional support. I ran about 100.5 as a high I think, but I'm back to normal now, 97 something. Of course I'm tired today.

STR posted:Darchangel, you forget Austin trends a little warmer than DFW. Yeah I'm for sure going to DM you. I was thinking about hiring ppl but I have never had the money to do it before recently. That is way less expensive than I would have expected tbh. I'll DM and let you know. I'll be down there next month to look at apartments. My current lease is up in July so that's probably when I'm going to be moving.

Same model but the Breaking Bad one was older. Got the PSU for my 64 and it's really nice. My uncle has a 36" CRT he's going to give me so I'm going to use that with it and for all my retro gaming stuff.  I've got one last room to organize and it's the one for all my computer and gaming stuff and I finally have motivation to do it. I just did my kitchen so I can use that for computer building and repair and other small project stuff like the RC10. Once I get the den done that's the last of the organizing I need to do since my friend died. It'll be good for my headspace. I started on it last year right as I was getting better before the virus took a baseball bat to my mental health.

poo poo. I just remembered that I’m not going to be able to fly if we actually do our annual IT department congregation this year. I renewed my DL by necessity literally a month before they started putting the Gold Star on it, so now I have to prove, to the government entity that has provided my identity for the last 35 years, that I’m the guy they gave the license to. I mean, if I came I from out of state or something fine, but my original DL is from TX, and it has never lapsed... Hope I have an official birth certificate around here somewhere.

So our “area” of payroll runs payroll for probably 30,000+ employees across the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Guam part of countless Unions. When I started last April, I knew they were in the middle of a large project to get all of us onto the same modern payroll platform instead of multiple different ancient ones. What none of us knew back then was how badly upper management and the project leaders were royally loving it up. The last two months or so we’ve been on countless “training” calls that literally all focused on one singular aspect, over and over again while everyone is going “Okay cool when are we going to learn literally everything else?” My team members have emailed management several times asking what everyone’s roles are going to be and when we are going to learn how to do them. Two weeks ago the head of our division suddenly announced her retirement effective next week. Monday we go live on a platform no one knows how to use or what they are supposed to be doing on it. Yesterday they announced layoffs of all payroll offices outside of our corporate HQ (where I am at thank Christ). My team forced our manager and her manager onto a call with us this afternoon and they tried to skate out quickly but I called them on it. I asked them how in the world have they been working on this project for so long and we’re going to be going live in three days and they can’t tell a single person what they are going to be doing? She basically started freaking out and you could tell she was trying not to cry while she spilled the beans about how horribly this was implemented and no one knows what’s going on. It’s pretty obvious now someone’s little project failed and they placed out to let the blame drop at someone else’s feet. Thousands of people are probably not going to get paid and Unions are going to bend our company right the gently caress over lol.

I've been feeling really weird and emotional today. I dumped a lot of things out to my sponsor last night and he changed the way I look at some stuff I've been avoiding dealing with. I guess it's just sitting weird with me. I just realized that I have a lot of relationship problems and an inability to give myself completely to a romantic relationship because I can't trust women because of childhood mommy daddy issues. Also I'm pretty lonely because all of my friends have moved out of Atlanta over the past few months. I'll be in Austin here soon but I have a couple more months where I'm just stuck here lmao.

The most bugshit insane part of this is that they won't accept a federally issued piece of identification that literally every other country on the planet accepts as valid identification to prove you're the same person they've been licensing for the last 4 decades. So my passport, which outranks a drivers license, can't be used to get a drivers license that still is outranked by the same passport (that will work just fine for this "Real ID to fly domestically" bullshit.)

I managed to drop an 84” tractor bucket across my foot, broke toes. Stupid quick attach lever was stuck and stupid me pushed on the bucket. Then, getting into the cab, busted a kneecap on the door frame. Tore something or another because it doesn’t bend well and has a new shape. Have a safe weekend, mine is pretty much over.

Dolphins, you in particular, you makin me feel old. I got 43 around the corner (and I know I just made Darchangel feel old  ).The company I work for owns a bunch of cabins (some in Kerrville, some in Rockport) that any full time employee can use for free (part timers can use them after a year of employment), just a small deposit. Looks like the ones in Kerrville are available the week of my birthday, though the offices are only open 2 days a week. Gonna try to book one for that week. I've been to Kerrville before, it's absolutely beautiful. They're furnished, though no linens and no dishes/cookware provided. Windowshaker AC, microwave, fridge, stove all in them, along with a screened in porch, grill just outside. Darchangel posted:poo poo. I just remembered that I’m not going to be able to fly if we actually do our annual IT department congregation this year. I renewed my DL by necessity literally a month before they started putting the Gold Star on it, so now I have to prove, to the government entity that has provided my identity for the last 35 years, that I’m the guy they gave the license to. I mean, if I came I from out of state or something fine, but my original DL is from TX, and it has never lapsed... Shouldn't it be up for renewal by now then? And good luck, I hear appointments at the DL office are pushed out well into August. I need to renew mine too, but my last renewal was in person (and I have the gold star), so I can do it online. May as well do it now, since I'm thinking about it. Also it's easy to get a certified copy of your birth certificate if you were born in TX - you can do it all online, though you'll need your current ID (don't need a picture, but you need the ID # and the audit #). It takes about a month, and costs $22. Short form version is fine for everything except a passport (or if you're Obama). https://ovra.txapps.texas.gov/ovra/order-birth-certificate I need to order the long form so I can get a passport.. 64bit_Dophins posted:Yeah 98 degrees is me going by south GA standards. I honestly don't even know what hot is in Texas yet. Yeah if it's just a 1 bedroom apartment that you're moving, you can probably get by with just the 2 hour minimum. Or have them do the heavy poo poo. From what I understand the climate here is a little warmer than GA, with less rain. I don't know how close you are to ATL, but this compares Austin to Atlanta in terms of weather. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Mar 27, 2021 |
