Morning guys. Heading to Houston today for the week. I’ve been sitting on the plane for close to an hour waiting to take off. This is going to be a long day.

That's annoying  but should be a short flight.

Actually had flight related dream last night. I hardly ever dream, well remembering dreams I guess, but my dream was super stressful, about hurrying to catch a flight.  I was in a foreign country and was struggling to get my shit together and make it to the airport, in fact I never left for the airport as I kept forgetting shit and eventually woke up. Couple odd things,  I legit have this issue before flights worrying I'll be late and usually dont sleep well the night before because I keep worrying about it but oddly enough I have no flights scheduled for the near future. And also oddly, this appears to be a reoccurring dream now when I actually do remember having a vivid dream. I'm guessing this has some deep meaning in my mind or something which is slightly concerning.

Good morning folks!

So our client is taking bids from other companies for our contract. They did a big walk through with the heads of our company and 4 others. The proposals are due in today. They've only receive a single bid... and that's from us :lol
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

My usual bed time is 6am, although that's not usually when I actually sleep. Lately I just stay up at the laptop in bed till 8-9am.

That's not so bad. Converted to upside down time, I go to sleep at 11am and that's still pretty early.


Wait...is Australia the Upside Down? Everything is trying to kill you. It's a strange place with strange creatures. It's like the real world but also not. Woah.

DOES Australia even exist? Has anyone actually seen an Australian? No one has ever visited and come back alive as far as I know.

Blob is just a computer program.

I now have a bot that DM's and tags people in a message when they join to say not to ask for download links to the game, and what does the first little shitstain who joins after that do?
Yup.
Here's the link if you wanna join. Btw, I also had to add a 10 minute waiting period after joining before you can message in the hope that people learn to read in that time.

Yea, I feel a bit in a rut myself with work.  Getting my ass handed to me on a daily basis (actually this week hasnt been too bad because we are in a change freeze) but they gave me a raise, I'm due a couple bonuses and still have small stock payouts every quarter for another couple years that I stay.  It makes it pretty difficult to leave atlhough I kind of want to by next year not only because this job is getting ridiculous, but I'm not really advancing, just working super hard.  I need the money with my brother moving out soon too so I can't be risky.  Sucks, I've been feeling a bit trapped lately, but it's hard to complain when I kind of have things in place to survive, I just need to keep working hard. Hopefully you find something Bill that is better for you.  With unemployment so low right now, it might be a good time to check and see if you can get more money somewhere else.

Sadly, I am being paid enough for the bullshit I have to endure.

That's kind of where I'm at.   

I used to throw resumes out periodically; there was one company that I would regularly monitor for positions.   But it was about three or four years ago now that I sort of had an epiphany.   I'm not coasting - not at all - but I'm at a company that is not my favorite, but they like me, I deliver for them, I have a good boss (though... and this is hard to write, it's awkward having the gut feeling that in a fire-fight within the company he wouldn't make it) and I'm paid well.   You see me here a lot so I certainly get to program my day, but it's not always at my discretion; there are Sundays where I'm in front of the NASCAR race with a contract printed out for review, which sucks. 

But all-in, I think the good outweighs the bad and so we see where it goes.   Problem is - and this is NOT a complaint, just a hard fact circa 2019 - I'm a 51-year-old straight white American male, and so if the shit does hit the fan, there are no guarantees that I'm going to quickly or easily land on my feet.  When I was 32, I had ZERO fear of that.   It does make decision-making more complicated.

I'm right there with you Stads.  Overall, the good outweighs the bad.  I am pretty much coasting... I'm paid to deliver a result, and if I can deliver that result in 20 hours a week, or if it take 60, it doesn't matter.  So right now, I'm killing it without having to put a shit-ton of effort in to things.  I'm always keeping my eyes open for something "better", but there's never any guarantee that I might be getting out of a frying pan an into the proverbial fire.

All-in-all, I can tolerate things for the benefits (beyond just the financial) that I'm availed.

Why is it that the day I am training a new hire is also the day that shit hits the fan and I have to drop everything to deal with admin stuff? I legit might have to bring this guy in for another half of day's training just to make up for it :lol

I get paid almost nothing, but luckily love what I do. So I'm good. Granted it's also an internship, so I have no say in the matter.

I do love what I do as well, but for me at least, I feel trapped in that I'm not growing.  I get paid fairly well for what I do, but after 5 years here and growing, it just seems to have stalled and now it's just about working hard and not learning, just get it done, now.  The money is the incentive to stay but satisfying my mind is different, even if I love what I do and I work at a really good company too.  Lots of perks and whatnot, and well, the grass isn't always greener too.  I've got a good thing going here, but it just doesn't feel satisfying. My coworker and I just had lunch and we boht kind of feel the same, I think 2020 is the year to move on, 2019 has a lot of good things for me to not leave, but if things don't change to make me feel like I am learning and growing then I'm going to need a new job to get a new experience.
