Aug. 14, 22: Routine, Fall Asshole Stress, Grocery Shopping, Walking, Fall Prep, TV, and Games

Despite being pretty broken in the morning (stressing about Fall), I slept from about eight to five and made it nearly the full eight hours.

I honestly felt pretty shitty today, but that was more because of the lead faculty’s outright refusal to help at all…told me it was my responsibility to construct the materials from scratch…I’m fairly certain that it’s entirely out of an unwillingness to fulfill their duties and while I keep telling myself to “suck it up buttercup” and just do the best I can without any guidance; what bothers me is that I think they should be censured for it. I mean, they’re making like tenfold what I make, plus benefits, for doing the same job, sharing two pieces of information that should have already been created isn’t asking much. 🤬 I want to just let it go, but my tummy keeps churning and I keep going in circles…they should be in trouble for that it seems, not just treat the next part-timer in the same way. 😡

[Fucking sucks…I’m still all uptight about it today]. Only two weeks left to get ready (and apparently construct all my course materials from scratch). I did spend quite a bit of time today working through more sections of the book and watching some lectures on YouTube. I found a guy (I think it’s a military academy class) that I like a lot and watched a couple hours on line integrals over scalar functions and vector fields. I’m starting to feel a little more comfortable with the material, but I’m definitely not at a point where I feel like I can just riff and explain the concepts…there is time to prepare during the semester as well, so I should probably start focusing on getting the materials ready I need for the start of the course and less on trying to finish out everything all at once.

Had a hard time focusing on anything, being all annoyed, but I did the usual morning stuff and then worked on my post. Got it done fairly early and we started looking toward heading into town to do the grocery shopping. Somehow can’t get out of there for less than a hundred bucks these days. 😡

Got back, got stuff put away, and grabbed a sandwich for lunch and then went right back to trying myself in knots. 😢 Figured the best way to try and let it go, clear my mind, would be to get some exercise, so we went over and picked up Lady (it had been a really long time) and took the doggies for a solid five kilometer walk. 😁 Did it make me feel any better? Sorta’. I was able to let everything drop for a few seconds a couple of times, but mostly I was still uptight. Was nice to get out, though, and it did help a bit.

Was very overcast again today and a bit chilly for me, but we only got sprinkled on slightly, barely even noticeable. I definitely had long stuff on, but still, it’s not winter so I’m not complaining.

Didn’t see much activity at all today, for real! I did see one of those slick looking bugs (looks like an F-14 or something) and it seems they’re actually carnivorous! He was munching on a fly there! 😮

Didn’t see any turtles or frogs or anything down by the pond. 🥺 There was this bright orange fungus, though:

I have an ActiFit exchange due up (been forever since I put one in) and I meant to post it last night, but by the time I got around to actually doing it it was past midnight UTC and I didn’t want to mess up my autovotes, so I’m waiting to do a “yesterday post” after I post this one.

Didn’t really do much other than watch Calculus videos for the rest of the afternoon and tried to study. Wenche made us burgers and curly fries for dinner and we watched some of a new show: Married since we’ve finished the other series we were working our way through. It’s alright, got some famous actors in it, and worth a chuckle or two, but it is like interpersonal drama (that I don’t generally find all that interesting) and I ended up falling asleep as usual.

Wow! Forty-nine SIM? This is unheard of. No crime or crises in my dShitty, so a wee bit less shitty today than usual. 👍

Just ran one mission today on Rising Star as best as I can recall. I had some drunk fans but they expired and a lesson brought my Ego back down to zero, so we march on.

Four more days to wait on HashKings. 😡 At least tomorrow something happens in that the image will be screwed, but that’s about all I have to look forward to with this one.

I really don’t understand why Splinterlands has sucked so badly this season. Sure, there have been several days that I didn’t want to play, but with the amount I have played I should be in Gold I by now at least. 🤬 Only one day left in the season and I’m basically screwed.

Got my Focus rewards from yesterday. Hooray, more potions. 😛

I swapped out the SPS I had been building up and got about eleven HIVE, which helped. Used the funds to get enough PIZZA to qualify for the NFT for power up day. 💪🤑

Still not made any more moves with vouchers, though. Just waiting and waiting…
