I remember when springs used to be warm and sunny. Now it's wet and miserable.

I'm drunk right now. :lol: Or tipsy. Idk the difference. :lol: It's my first time. Mind anyone telling me the difference? For now, my hand's a bit numb. Seriously.

And I find myslf relying on rote memory, external oriented thinking, and a serious level of mental tension to "compensate" this state.

If I lower my guard down, the world will start spinning, be less attentive, stumble, and start doing stupid things. 8O One mistake, or a moment down, i might as well vomit.

Oh, and I just found out that I could out drink one of my coworkers who drinks more than I ever had. :lol: It had something to do with our bodies and respective constitutions.

...

Seriously. I drank, like, about 1/6th liter of 5 year old Rosé and it's my first time ever doing it.

.. This is like holding back nausea. :| Plus impaired sense of balance and space, maybe judgement too.

An interview tomorrow for a permanent position.

Not sure if they are serious or if they just want to interview me to steal ideas, i always get paranoid about that. I have prepared demos that has been scaled down to not give away too much information and i constantly have to think of what i say and talk usability - and not tech. And yes, my ideas are far ahead of what most security companies do.

Since Easter is on April Fool's Day this year, I wonder if someone will play a prank by slipping whoopie cushions on the benches at a church. And then when people sit on them and the loud noises of flatulence ensue, the prankster will exclaim, "Now I know why church benches are called 'pews'!" :twisted:

There are so many customer service type job openings. I could probably get a job if I could possibly do that, but my selective mutism would not go over well. No way that's happening unless I don't have to answer phones (because I often can't be understood over the phone) and can use a text-to-speech app on my phone instead of talking (which I'd be willing to do, but I doubt it would go over well with employers and/or customers).

Also lots of driving jobs, but I can't drive.

I've pretty much wrecked everything here for myself on Saturday. I'm pretty sure the younger members hate me.

i guess it could be kind of an aspie thing not to predict how triggering some symbols can be.
