but the biggest mindhack of all is to just be nice to people

Anyone out there have a code for insanejournal.com you'd like to float my way?

They tell you as a child you can do anything you want in life. Apparently I fucked that up along the way.

I’ve lived a whole lot of years with a don’t rock the boat philosophy, but I’m thinking it might be time to ditch that and take some chances.

So basically if I take the new job, this year is a make or break year for me. If it works out, I’ll be on top of the world. Otherwise...it could be quite ugly.

Psa: the word “drunk” is not good as a content warning. It tells too much.

Its not a trigger warning. Its a trigger.

Use “alcohol” or such for your warnings. Thats vague, and tells us enough to avoid the cut content without opening flashback floodgates or setting off use-to-abuse brains.

Thanks.

So also uh dont put it in your display names thats also not helping thx bye

So in an effort to assuage the unpleasantness of the holiday, my son and I went shopping yesterday and bought new guitars. I’m feeling better now.

I don't care if you celebrate Christmas (as a borderline atheist i celebrate the social part) but really i just hope you have a good time with people you enjoy tomorrow, blood family or chosen. That's the real shit that matters

I hate this fucking holiday so much. 😠

I used to spend the holiday week dreading the return to work. This year I'm almost eager to get back as I hope to have opportunity to submit a resignation letter within the first two weeks of the year.

@pixelpaperyarn Have you had any success finding a good alternative to Medium for writing this and that?

Anyone have a particularly good tea supplier to recommend?

A small management team from a company I'm interested in took me to lunch Friday. So, that's a plus.

I've been getting up earlier in the mornings but never 4am may have been a bit excessive.
