Scream

I have said silence a couple days this week when in fact the minute I hit the road it turned into screaming. From the pressure in the car driving to work. I'm fine until about 30 minutes into the drive and then it slowly starts pressurizing and boom. Screaming. I have tried cracking a window. I have tried driving in silence. Nothing has helped. It's the change in climate, the road noise, the stress of going into the office. Today I woke up with it so fuck me.

I reconnected with an old friend yesterday on linkedin. I haven't replied to his message yet, not because I don't want to, more out of making sure I had the time to reply with more than a sentence or two. I don't know what prompted me to reach out in the first place. Maybe me feeling lost lately. I don't know. I need to process a bit. 

I got into it with my new boss a bit yesterday. I was crankier towards hom than I should have been. I have to be in the office Thurs and Fri next week because of some vendor all day training. Something that very easily could be done remotely. This drive is pissing me off and he was unhappy when I said I would WFH on Monday then. He didn't like I was changing my days again. I asked him why did it even matter? "Company policy blah blah blah". Fuck that. 90% of my damn job can be done remotely. I need to be in the office like 2 days a MONTH not 3 a week. I snapped at him a bit about it. But I am WFH from Monday whether people like it or not.

Need to take dog out. Need to pay bills. Need to wait for plumber. Someday I will get a break. Not today.

Silence, finally.

Let's see if it lasts.

Worked. Made dinner. Went to bed. My life.

The shower is NOT fixed. None of the taps are. Cold shower again yesterday. So done with this. They are coming back out Friday and not leaving until I have hot water. No more excuses. My head started screaming yesterday on the drive to work and hasn't stopped. My lamb chops went bad and had to be thrown out. Ended up making chicken. Fuck everything right now.

The plumbing issue is resolved. But it might only be termporary. There was a rubber seal that was broken inside the tank. They were able to repair it, but if it happens again, then it needs to be replaced at the tune of $500. Let's hope it lasts until we can sell this place. That was my morning. From there not much else was going on. Worked, made dinner, went to bed.

This is it! The end of another year! Wow. What a year. From my head to my job to everything in between. Concerts. Dog. Job. Yeah I said that twice.

Still have no hot water. Plumber be here at 8 hopefully. I am hoping we get it resolved today. I am done with cold showers. We didn't do much of anything yesterday. Took dog for a walk. Watched some TV. Stayed inside.

Replaced the kitchen faucet and no change. Still have a cold shower. I gave in and called a plumber. They will be here tomorrow morning. I am at my wit's wend with all this. I think it's something in the tank. Despite what they say. 

Went out to dinner last with A&B. We went to a nice Italian place. Did my 3rd stream. 3 hour session of Paralives. Went to bed around 1am.

Scream

My head is back, the shower is still cold and I don't know what to do. I replaced the diverter and cartridge last night but it isn't helping. I am going to replace the kitchen faucet today and see what that does. If anything. If that still doesn't work I have to have the plumbers back out here. I may call a different company this time.

Worked on my strategy document. Made my second streaming video.

Silence

Well, I am officially a streamer! I did my first live stream last night. Had 5 people watching. I have 9 subscribers and my first video is up to 22 views! Look at me go! I am streaming me playing "cozy games" and simulation games. No mic, no cam. Just background music and the game. Who knows where this will go??

Worked on my strategy document. Made salmon. Watched tv. Did my stream. Almost the weekend.

Just a few more days and we will finish off another year. Soon it will be year in review time. Woo!

Worked on a 6mo, 1 year, and 5 year strategy document yesterday. Had a two hour meeting to review it. Guess what? I work for a real corporation. It's so weird. Things like OKRs. Objecectives, Key Results. Like reall annual performance reviews. Measured KPIs. Weird shit man.

Also I set up a new youtube channel last night. Going to stream cozy games. No camera, no mic. Just me playing games and recording the results. I have five subscribers already. Granted I know all of them, but the numbers are there! I told C I just need to make enough a month for her to quit. You never know.

Shower won't get repaired until tomorrow. For now, we have cold water. Lovely.
