Here are some representative examples. They're not terrible, I guess, but they're quite boring. He might have made something of it eventually if he hadn't chosen a different career path.

Edit: The first one was by someone else, removed it.

All you needed to know about Hitler, his paintings and WWII in 5 seconds.

[mastahcheese]

Eh, I could see them hanging on someone's wall as decoration, but yeah, it's not that exciting.

In my attempt to pick an example so extreme as to make the point unmissable, I fear I have overreached.

Hitler's art was also not edgy enough.

Most fine art during that period is about poverty and suffering, so it's kind of passé to be drawing pristine, quaint houses.

Not really sad about it, but rage thread doesn't exist anymore (though I'm not really angry either): I'm at a resort with family, and the wifi sucks. But there's an option to use better wifi (which I am now doing), though you have to register and only get to use two devices with it unless you pay to upgrade.

Actually, I'm less upset about it since it turns out this is per person, not per room. Though it still seems like pretty shitty practice.

While I'm still very very far from being old I'm getting depressingly close to not being young either.

[WillowLuman]

Ouch, falling behind on things
What is the truth and why can't you tell it? I'll understand if you don't want to tell it here, either.

I wish I could help more, though there's only so much random people over the internet can do. Hopefully you'll get more time and less crap soon.

I don't feel like doing anything.  At All.  Not even anything passive, like watching tv.  Not even listening to  music.  I'm not tired.  But I just can't bring myself to put even minimal effort into doing anything I don't have to.  I keep browsing through all the various things I could be doing with my Saturday, maybe engaging in them for a few minutes, then giving up.  And my thoughts keep bending towards work.  All the shit I'll be facing on Monday.  All the things I could be doing now to clean shit up so work is less of a mess when I go back.  I know if I keep allowing myself to think like that, I'm never going to escape the way work has dominated my life the last few months, and I'll continue to get more burned out.  But then again, the more issues at work continue to snowball due to lack of time during normal hours to keep things in proper order while scrambling to keep up with essential tasks, the worse things are going to get and the worse my burnout is going to get anyway.

And while things continue like this, my family continues to get more dysfunctional, as I have less and less energy to spend time with my extroverted wife and kids.  And while I remain distant, they grow increasingly unable to get along with each other.

All because upper management still refuses to hire more people to help, after they more than doubled our workload, because they have profit growth targets to hit.  I'm hoping to escape soon, but I know that my next job will almost certainly be more of the same.  It's the same cycle everywhere.  Keep squeezing workers more and more.  Those numbers have to grow.  Every year.  Forever.  Until something gives, and the whole thing falls apart.

I slept for 11 hours without meaning too. That's like several hours I could have been doing stuff in!

Hey, I've been awake for the last >36 hours without meaning to be! That's many hours I could have been sleeping in!

And I'm still not even tired. I don't feel safe enough to be tired.

D: I wish I could help.

I'm really fucking up my semester. I should be getting a lot done right now, really working on it. I'm probably fucking up my entire future. I'm really busy transitioning though and trying to repair my health to boot, and had the flu for four days straight and THEN my period is fucking me up really bad today, so I'm really struggling. I'm weeks behind on studying and homework and I feel like a loser. I don't know how I'm going to recover from this.

How the mighty fall.

I really doubt you're screwing up your future in any major fashion, given how much you already have going for you.

Plus, things will hopefully look a lot better when you're over the flu and off your period.

I can only say good luck...

I don't know how I'm going to recover from this.

If you figure it out, could you tell me? It's slowly dawning on me that I'm barely keeping afloat with the day-to-day work this semester, and I have a research paper, 3 lengthy essays, and an engineering project that are due by the end that I haven't so much as started. Who's responsible for th- oh wait it was me. In a rare turn of events, I regret wasting time on things that were relaxing. I didn't have the fucking time.

Tomorrow I'm going to do my normal weekly writing assignments and also try to knock out a book review not listed above and coordinate an interview I have to do with somebody (who, I don't even know yet, I still need to figure that out).

If I figure out the magical spell to extend the day by 12 hours, I promise to share. Or any other thing that helps, but that one sounds the most plausible.

And now I'm nauseous for no adequately explained reason. Except it's fairly well explained by my atrocious eating habits today. Blagh.

[ChairmanPoo]

I'd swear I'm sleeping even more poorly than usual.
