Loving chairs more every day!

Been thinking a lot today about my plans post-job today and it's been really nice and positive to think about 8) eg setting myself a "resign by" date, listing what paperwork stuff i need to take care of soon, finding what i need to set up if i want to freelance for a while or something, etc.

it feels pretty freeing!

when contemplating not having a job I usually clench up and my brain turns into one of those desert mice who scurry around at night in constant mortal fear. that’s awesome for you!

see those black screwdrivers? JIS drivers. because Japan has its own standard for screws, and you'll gently caress up the heads on things like expensive ham radios and vintage stereos if you caveman that poo poo with Phillips drivers.

I'm late to JIS chat but I messed up the screws on my blast city arcade machine pretty good by not realising that they were not in fact phillips head. luckily I had a spare donor cab that I could salvage from.

that's what my brain has done up until a couple weeks ago, so, yeah i get it completely. it helps that my student loans are paid off and my husband added me to his insurance, so i don't feel quite so panicked.

and i get some enjoyment out of knowing i have the option to tell my manager to metaphorically eat poo poo

there's so much stuff i've never even really listened to that i should go back and check out. i was never in the rave scene, didn't even exist where i grew up. i would just buy cds quite literally at random from music clubs from the "electronic" section when i got bored with the punk and alt-rock my friends exclusively listened to. sometimes it would work out really well. that's how i got into aphex twin, orbital, meat beat manifesto, download, front 242, kraftwerk, probably a few others i'm forgetting, but mostly just their more popular stuff that was easy to find.

e: i just searched for plastikman in yt music and saw he only had 148 subscribers and almost had a fit but then i noticed richie hawtin is also listed and has a respectable 148k subscribers

thanksgiving is the best holiday because it's about being thankful and eating a lot, which makes it better than halloween (only about eating a lot) and way better than christmas (only about how much you spend)

halloween is marginally better (i get to dress slutty and put spooky poo poo in my front yard) but thanksgiving is a time for logging into work and not doing anything, and also eating many kinds of pie
