I just don't care anymore.

I feel guilty about it tbh. For you it's easier since you're almost at retirement, but for me.. well, I technically can't afford to just not get shit done.

I have a 30 min phone interview at 3pm.. Really hopeful I can leave this place and actually work somewhere worth being motivated for soon..

That's what she said.

It is. But, I like trying different things. I will try this, If I like it, I will keep it. If not , I will dial it back. And if I wear out these (FU#%!N) Hankooks, I will have a chance sooner to get the Michelins I want.


Additionally, After replacing basically the whole suspension, it was farther outtawack than I wanted to drive around. It didn't pull left or right though... I have learned from experience this actually means NOTHING.




Negative Camber. Hopefully it provides the "positive" feeling I want....

There's a joke in there somewhere, but I'm tired and don't care.

I'll be lucky to get a break at all. Not to mention it's supposed to be noon to 5pm, right during lunch time :\.

You took the time to express your apathy. That's what's important.

That's... not a bad idea. Might just have to do it.

I get a voicemail just about every week from the Canadian Revenue Agency that says a lawsuit has been placed in my name for tax evasion and I need to call them back or face charges etc... still waiting to be arrested

I'm curious how much money they make from these scams..

They make pretty good money. Cuz each one, they request bout 2~3g, so if they can convince 10 ppl or so a wk, that's 20~30g!

There is an entire YouTube genre dedicated to people trolling those callers, outing them, or even infecting their computers with malware. The last one being more directed toward tech support scammers. I do get a chuckle out of when they call the same number twice, and then patch two people from the same call center to one another. It has also taught me how to swear in Hindi.
