i needed concentration, so i went home and tried to figure out a solution to some code related stuff, and i kept getting distracted. i finally came to the conclusion that my mind couldn't do poo poo today and i called up letting the office know i was at home trying to figure something out and i might be in later... fat chance anyway i'm real depressed right now. it's almost like everyday i'm really pumped for programming, and today my mind just wanted to come up with any excuse to get any from it

ok op, i read that one. how is that failing big time? i honestly feel the good days are the ones where I'm responsible for the fact i didn't get any work done. cause usually some other idiot gets there first and then i have to work at it to get nothing done. can't you just go to work and do some othe bullshit task instead? one where you don't have to think. i like to stare out the window at the railway and watch the trains go by.

do something else, go outside, maybe even take a day off recharge your batteries then return to your desk, energized and prepared and still have no ideas and then crap out whatever dumb solution takes the least amount of time to implement you can also do the last part first then dick around for the rest of the week

i spent three hours fighting a failed request because i passed the oauth credential in a header named 'authentication' instead of 'authorization' then someone recommended a library for me for something else and i literally told them i was too stupid to understand it poo poo happens, being a programmer is hard under the best of conditions. don't know if that's any consolation but you ain't alone by a long shot

qirex posted:go to tokyo for a week, eat a ramen, get drunk at gas panic 2 years ago i was asked to do work in tokyo (VOIP dev) and i got so pumped! but didn't happen.. anyway i readied myself by looking into their customs, ethics, manners etc etc. if i complained about my life to someone like i am now, it's considered rude. i couldn't go into most convenience stores because they have signs that say "no foreigners!" it's not all fun and anime in japan but yeah i should go there anyway. gas panic isn't really my type of place. it has way too much american music/culture in there, so it wouldn't feel like i'm going somewhere new. it sounds really stupid, but i hate when other countries are obsessed with american culture... just makes me sad. i hate how south korean woman get their beautiful eyelids snipped to look more "western"

also if you don't speak japanese you'll feel plenty "distant" from where you're from despite their obsession with americana it's probably the best place to have "an adventure" as an american without practicing slum tourism/cultural imperialism plus they have normal lte so your phone will work

I suggest working less days in a week than you have off. maybe four. four days is reasonable. five is insanity and three is ideal

what you felt was your spirit rebelling against the soul and society-crushing despair that comes with programming and computer-related activities what you need to do is find real work and Do Labor, you will find that your life has meaning once again and that you are contributing to the world rather than destroying it

you say alcohol is a scourge but low incomes are associated with drug abuse so guess what way the causation is with labour and drinking
