Elder care workers don't get fucking paid enough.

Like. I knew that. But sitting overwatch over an old guy a hour and a half past your bed time to make sure they don't shit all over themselves or the bathroom or decorate the place in shredded adult diaper.

These things hammer that shit in.

Elder care workers don't get paid enough. Especially the untrained family that don't actually get goddamn paid to begin with.

Anyway. Past midnight now. I'm going the fuck to sleep.

I had to do a C++ exam using pen and paper again. Whoever decided this backwards, harebrained idea was anything resembling a good one needs to do one of these themselves. My left hand screams for the sweet release of death.

I'm not supposed to use an IDE for this, so I just used Notepad++ as a text editor and MinGW-GCC as my compiler. It's technically not an IDE. Still fucking hurts to copy all that text to paper.

Mask mandate was lifted at work.  I honestly want to keep it on, as otherwise customers would constantly harass me over how my face looks to them.

[Frumple]

I mean, it's technically lifted where I work, too. Doesn't mean I've stopped wearing one. I'll stop when the plague does, y'know?

... maybe. There's a part of me that thinks after half a million dead in my country, maybe continuing to wear one in public as a memorial would be fitting. Plus hey, less disease spread, less trouble with allergies or whatever. Happy mask noises, as someone or another put it.

[Kagus]

Yeah, the recommendation for masks in public spaces here has been lifted, it's pretty much just inside of stores now here, and even that has been or is getting lightened.

But I mean, the pandemic is still going on. It's not gone yet. I'd just as soon keep wearing it for now, so that we can be truly over and done with this rather than having it drag out more and more.


...and that's coming from a glasses user with a full beard. Wearing a custom mask that massively overheats me and my glasses either never sit right or go completely opaque within a couple breaths. So it's definitely not a pleasant experience, but I'm quite willing to put up with it if it means doing my part to help keep people safe.

VPNs are down in China these days - every once in a while they tighten the wall - especially during big national events (100 year anniversary of the Party).

Annoying, but usually no big deal except my family is having a get-together and want to arrange a call with me and my daughter... Hopefully the tunnels open again before the get-together ends.

My legs keep doing little twitches when I want to calm down and think about sleep

Hypnic jerks, or something more like Restless Leg?

My advice: Drink more water. It's what my sergeant always used to tell me, and I turned out just fine!

[brewer bob]

Been a totally useless weekend and to top it all I just managed to accidentally pierce a hole in a full beer can with my fingernail and now my mattress is soaked in beer foam. Even beer (my best friend) doesn't want to cooperate today.

Damn you, scriver....

[Bumber]

Couldn't see any fireworks because it's foggy. Been mostly cloudy all week. No doubt this is Britain's doing.

On the other hand, it looks like I probably won't need fans or AC this year.

I kinda lied today.

She was having a poor self-image day and tends to lean fairly heavily on me for support, so when I got the message "Am I pretty?" out of fuckin' nowhere I... Told her she was. Even though she's not really my type.


I'm rationalizing it to myself that "pretty" is of course just a relative term, and that she's certainly "prettier" than a number of other people I've known or met... But I still feel a bit dirty for doing that.

My reasoning was that she's probably not in the headspace right now to graciously accept the results of my holding to abstract ethical standards.
