Maybe it's just because it's Monday but my entire life feels pointless. I'm too frigidly logical for pretty much everyone I love.


Maybe now the weekend is here, you've got something worth waking up to, which means adjusting your energy levels asides computer ones.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of counter balancing self worth, besides knowledge and intuition time and again.

I suppose so, I was studying on the side anyway even though it's on a frozen part of my work's engineering M.O. I need to go hike &/or run to cross train for bikes & skis now that I can *kind of* afford more. ~

I'm testing feature classification & extraction on point clouds as well as 360 degree/3D photogrammetry - as you might imagine it's all very practical & somewhat hypnotic.

I'll let everybody know if I get to stay beyond my contract. I seriously hope so but I also know I'm on a tightrope in terms of overall health just to get it done. I'm kind of like a moth with a lamp.

I mean I really hope not; like Prometheus suggested, I may only be rewarded when I've rendered myself unable to appreciate the rewards.

Obviously I should be doing something today but it's hard to find the energy.

As if this weren't too much already, it's Sunday & all I've done is revive my cryptocurrency trading accounts, with a cartridge pen for the authentication photo.

I need to at least maybe go somewhere.

I'm much the opposite to be honest. I always wish some friends would just crash through my front door or something. The trouble is that I'm perceived as so introverted that I must not want to be around anyone, so that rationalizes people avoiding me. I guess my image isn't 100% misleading but I really wouldn't know, there aren't normally enough people anywhere near me to really tell.

well there are 3 people who can come over, and well they usually warn. i feel very uncomfortable when even my mother comes just like that. on the other side, my internet life is much aliver xd i feel relaxed when i dont have to deal with body language and eye contact (though lately my irl contacts had consented to let it slide, but i still feel uncomfortable). so well. text communication makes things that easier. some people say its not real on the internet. i say they have a narrow mind xD it was online friends who'd save my life.

I took a sick day today because I'm worried about my neck & spine. I've got to work out how to survive in office chairs.

I bought a Herman Miller Aeron, sized small, for web surfing at home. Really comfortable!

Half of my building is moving to the new one next door & they're getting new chairs like that. I have a knockoff aeron at my work desk that I either need to use better posture with or replace with a tall desk or a standing desk monitor arm.

Ergonomics is really no joke. Here I am worrying about spinal stenosis just so I can study more.
