Sorry I made a grammar mistake…That is maybe because I had a long journey today.Anyway having a bit of English knowledge is useful here .（my English teacher would feel angry about it)
However, though I can’t speak Japanese, it is still useful to say some English, interestingly I felt confident and my broken oral English is fluent when I was in front of these kind Japanese, their English is very good, I admire it and I was shocked by the high level of education here, even a shop seller here can understand my English and talk with me kindly, it is unimaginable in my country.(my English teacher would be happy about it)
This time I felt the huge gap between the developed countries and the developing countries.
It’s too late, I am going to have a good dream here.Good night bay watchers!

Realised having arms on my chair was making me slouch, so I removed them and immediately my posture's improved. I can also bring my chair under my desk now, the arms got in the way of that.

Hopefully fewer upper back problems now.

Spoiler: I cannot believe I got any sort of reply, let alone one that seems unique (click to show/hide)

I still dont know how to talk about my amateur equities trading.  Im not educated formally, and I dont have a boss, or a company.  Its unemployment, and kind of feels like a stick in my eye when I apply to _anything_ much less for the remote work Im looking for.

Still, that a company listing a trading job responding makes my friggin day.  I dont know what kind of response I expected, but any is just fine by me.  It means Im noticeable?


P:  Having ruminated a little on this, I'm less surprised that I was given a response.  Im still stoked at the idea, I do a lot of short to medium term trading, this would probably be in conjunction with my trading.  Prop trading isnt exactly hard to get into, so idk.  Still happy at the idea.  It's been about 3 weeks of looking at jobs, most replies Ive gotten have been for things that vastly underpay or are generally what Id consider too far beneath me to provide significant boost to my resume.

KSBD's heading back to twice weekly updates! Woot!

Also I like how you whited out the Twitch tab but not your name on the email.

Well you see, he was watching an incredibly lewd stream. Very embarassimg.

I'm getting off this goddamned bupropion. I'm looking forward to feeling human again, derealization is a real bitch.

Next up is gonna be sertraline. Let's hope it's better than feeling like the emitter end of a CRT TV. Spotlight focus? No, spotlight window of consciousness. That, and I wonder if I have some photosensitivity issues and if it was going to exacerbate that

Joesef, as my summer job at Macdonold's when I was 16 spelled it on my nametag

I keep sunglasses and yellow-tinted nighttime glasses in my car.  I cant deal with the pinpricks of other cars and city lights.  Grats on lowering your counts.

I just learned I had money in a 401(k) from a former employer I didn't know about (like, I left them almost 10 years ago).  Pretty modest, only 4 figures, but it's something unexpected!

Reason I didn't know about it - apparently I had two retirement accounts with them; one a defined-benefit program and the 401(k). I had already rolled over the defined-benefit stuff when I changed jobs, not realizing the 401(k) was separate... oh younger self, why weren't you paying closer attention?

[King Zultan]

Maybe it was your younger self thinking of the future and hiding that money from you so you'd have it now.

It's nice knowing that nature's doing well around here. Insects aplenty, birds singing away...

Also the next door neighbour's cat let me fuss over her for a bit before remembering she doesn't trust me and keeping her distance. Progress is progress.

In an interesting turn of events, I got accepted into a Master of Science in a maths-heavy course of study.

I have not studied maths since GCSEs (since I was 16, in other words. 12 years ago. And also when I first registered on this site. Yikes.)

But! I'm looking forward to it, and it's something to do while I write articles etc. I also enjoy the meme of being that guy with four degrees, hah.

[hector13]

Have you finished your doctorate?

[TD1]

Almoooost.

Currently I'm wrapping up my analysis of local vs. national in the enforcement of (medieval) anti-mobility laws.

It'll be banged out by mid-September, which is when the Masters starts - so I'm motivated.

Oder wie meine Freundin mir sagte: ich bin sehr motiviert.

[None]

Holy crap, I feel like a real human person again. I feel present. I have wants again.

D'you know how important it is to want stuff? Turns out it's crucial! I want food when I'm hungry! I want to go out and socialize with people! I want to use my new tea set, see friends again, stream Dark Souls 2's randomizer, go back to the bouldering gym, get work done! 'Coping' is no longer the entire objective!

I sure hope this feeling sticks. We'll see if the anxiety weasels its way back around, but for now, I'd be willing to bear it.
