I have trouble giving myself credit for things. A lot of trouble. I saved a company over $30 million in revenue one year, and over $20 million in year-to-year recurring revenue (literally the bes...

---

Do I go or stay? I originally decided to go to Dollywood for this vacation because I had no ideas what I was going to do to keep myself from going crazy staying at home. What I have found is that...

I can’t make a decision, so, let’s try writing about it. Do I stay or go? I have next week off of work, and it’s actually the first vacation I’ve taken since moving here in May. I had been waitin...

Continuing yesterday’s theme: Friends and social interactions. Prior to high school the friend I saw most often was my next door neighbor. Too many years have passed for me to remember if he ever...

“Finding yourself isn’t really how it works. You aren’t a ten-dollar bill in last winter’s coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, o...

---

I find myself giving people advice I can’t follow myself. Well, obviously it’s easier to know how to do something than to actually do it. What matters to the other person is if the information is...

Boy do I ever have stuff on the brain. Let’s jot down some topics to hit: -Dating vs sugaring -Eating habits -Job (done) -Stress level (probably covered in one of the above) -Moving - I have my ...

About the author: Single white guy in his 30s who got a new 100% remote position and whose lease is about to be up. I have been looking at places to move because I live in New England and I hate ...

---

I have a flight tomorrow; er, later today. I should be asleep. But, I can’t sleep. When I was in college, the thing I hated most of all was flying home. I loved flying, I hated being at home. One...

---

I’ve come to the realization that I’m still unhappy. I have a job (soon). I will (soon) have income. I’m traveling to a new place (soon) but I’m still not happy. I did a lot of thinking and the r...

---

Ok, so, to close out an earlier post, I got my written job offer! Yay! So it did end up happening. The offer was also for 15k MORE per year than discussed. Wow! First time that’s ever happened! A...

---

There’s a youtube channel called Legal Eagle. The guy is apparently a really good lawyer and he breaks down various legal concepts or analyzes popular movies to say just how illegal they were. In...

---

I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep because my heart is, well, not exactly racing, but more like beating at the rate as though I were at a brisk walk. Why? Because I ate too much sugar and chocolate. A ...

---

I got a verbal job offer yesterday. I spent much of the day very excited and happy. I’ve mellowed a bit since then. I am writing this as much for me as for anyone who reads it. In my life, many t...

---

I can’t make up my mind, so…let’s write about it! I had a great interview today. It’s actually for a fully remote position, so for the first time in my life, I may just get a job where I can live...

---

My last post moved the needle forward on the internal discussion. So, two questions this time: What motivates me? What happened to me? 2017 was a nexus point in my life. I got laid off from a j...

---

I keep wanting to write a letter to an old friend. I want to tell her that I finally understand. It literally took 10 years, but I finally understand the depression she felt. I finally get it, an...

---

I never wanted to live in New England. The only reason I moved up here was because, in 2013, I was more terrified (and it was legit terror) of not having a job than of having a job in a place I h...

---

There was a thought provoking question on Reddit a few days ago: “If you could go back in time to Dec 21, 2011 keeping only your knowledge but giving up everything else, would you?” I considered ...

---

I’ve been sitting wanting to eat because I’m stressed for the past hour. I tried looking through imgur posts to find peace. It kinda worked, and kinda didn’t. What made me decide to start writing...

---

It’s done. The development phase of my Factorio mod is finally done. That is to say, the part of making the mod where I actually define the in-game items, their properties, their orders in menus,...

---

Now that 2019 is close to being over, a lot of people are posting the “Bitcoin Minimums” to counteract the natural FUD cycle that comes and goes with cryptos. 2012 – $4 2013 – $65 2014 – $200 20...

---

I finally reached out to Trisha again. Trisha and I went on two dates about a year ago. She was the best person I’ve met up here in New England. I got peace and closure on why she and I broke up....

---

One spot of writing today wasn’t enough. I need more. Kitchenaid mixers are the pain point. For those who don’t know, you get a plastic drive gear in the models that aren’t “pro” or “professional...
