I felt a little scattered today at work. I ended up working through most of lunch, then went to the revenue office to renew the registration on my sailboat. It was a little over a year past expiration, and instead of getting a new three year registration, they charged full price for the “remainder” of the three years I would have had if I had renewed on time, which makes no sense for a boat that was completely out of use. Unfortunately, it’s the government, so I don’t think you just ask for a supervisor to verify the process.

In the afternoon, Ben came by the junior high to help me out, so we hung a touch TV, then split up so he could hang WAPs and I could replace a teacher machine. He says he’s coming around tomorrow afternoon as well, and I’m excited to have someone there to help me actually accomplish something.

After work, I stopped by my parents’ house for a little dinner, then came home and watched Independence Day: Resurgence. The 3D was pretty great, and I ended up staying awake to finish it. I had too much trouble getting out of bed this morning though, so I really need some sleep somehow.

This one is definitely bigger than the last one!

Today didn’t even really seem like a day. I don’t know what it was about it.

Wholly unremarkable.

I had a small sandwich at Firehouse for like nine bucks, and it was the smallest sandwich I could possibly imagine ever in my life. Like comically small. But with a clown-sized medium drink. I don’t want to be in this backward-assed country any more.

After work, I stopped by my parents’ for some leftovers, then came home and played a few rounds of Overwatch before losing the rest of my evening to the internet.

I’ve second-guessed the day of the week three times today, and it’s only the beginning of the week.

I woke up really late today, then spent most of the afternoon configuring my Harmony remote for my new TV and home theater receiver. At this point, I have spent more time configuring my universal remote than I have spent using regular remote controls in my entire life. It’s ridiculously complicated, and needlessly slow to configure the thing, but it sure is cool to be able to control everything with one device, even if it is a bit clunky at times.

Late in the evening, I went to my parents’ house for some eggplant soup and to try and watch Con Man on SyFy. I didn’t last too long, because I had forgotten how terrible of an experience television commercials are. The “episodes” are only like 10 minutes long, and I couldn’t even make it through one whole episode before getting multiple commercials.

Ludicrous.

Tomorrow, we sail!

I got really frustrated with my team at work today. I’ve been asking for over two weeks to help run over 15 new network lines, and not a single one of them wanted to help. Nothing about the teacher deployment has gone even remotely the way that I would have liked, and I’m incredibly aggravated by it.

After work, I came home and played some PUBG until Johnny rage quit, then played The Escapists 2 with Aaron until I was too drunk and tired to go on.

Old computer games couldn’t be won. They just got harder and faster until you died. Just like real life.

My deployment of teacher machines slowed down today because of the tools that are supposed to be there to help me. I’ve got an idea to set up a bunch of imaging stations in my office, but that will have to wait until this is done. I skipped lunch and worked a bit late again, then had more leftover spring rolls at my parents’ house. I just ate and left, though, so I could have some time at home before dark. There, it was PUBG with the gang before bed.

They come at you, attacking with their teeth, and their eyes.. and hair…

I finally got some teacher computers deployed for real today. I’ve got an actual system. Sort of. Nobody’s eating together, so it’s been Soylent or skip for me. Plus working late. I guess it gives my life purpose or something.

After I finally left, I went to my parents’ house for leftover spring rolls. I can still feel the hot peppers burning in my belly. It’s kind of weird and tingly. It was a cool ride home. It sure got cool fast. Must be the hurricanes. Too bad it’s not windy enough to sail.

When I finally got home, I played some Overwatch with Keno, then PUBG with him, Johnny, and Jack. It went okay.

There’s a little black spot on the sun today.

I had quite a bit of trouble getting out of bed this morning, so I ended up skipping half of my morning routine for a bit more sleep. Chai Soylent for breakfast, then I skipped going out for lunch and had a Cacao Soylent in the early afternoon. I worked a couple extra hours, then had spring rolls with my parents.

That’s a lot of blood…

I woke up this morning around noon and decided to go get an Extra Most Bestest pepperoni pizza from Little Caesar’s. I passed Jacob driving the opposite direction on the way home and got the twitches, so I tried eating my way out of it once I got home.

After that, I strapped in for a few rounds of PUBG with Johnny, Aaron, and TJ, and Josh. The first round was really embarrassing. The second round went better, but I probably could have won it for us if I had thought about throwing a grenade. I really feel like grenades need work in this game. There was some Rocket League thrown in, and Johnny and I tried out The Escapists 2.

That basically sums up the whole day. At some point in the afternoon I started drinking vanilla cream ales from the Blackhorse Brewery, and wrapped up the night about the same way.

I’ve been looking for a way out.
