Had to buy a harness for my shoulder because apparently working your body really carelessly leads to a lot of joint pain. Mummy wrap is helping though.

Bouvre 1848 Posted February 28, 2020 Read Han Kang's The White Book, Reading Brandon Taylor's Real Life, Looking forward to The Third Hotel by Laura van den Berg and Claude McKay's long-lost novel, Romance in Marseilles Waiting for a friend to translate part of my manuscript into Spanish so I can start submitting it to small presses again. It's come close to nabbing publication by a margin, so I've been busy mending details and tightening language to up it's chances of being released into the world. Got some flash fiction forthcoming in publication with a lit journal I consider to be one of my favorites, so getting the acceptance notification was like a dream. Outside of that, mostly working my two jobs. What's new with you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Distinct Lunatic 401 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted a thread a couple weeks back about buying a house. Managed to score a really nice two bedroom, 1020 sqft house with a finished basement in the good part of town for 4 grand lower than the asking price, that including furniture and appliances. Next Friday is the closing date and when I can start moving in. I took the first step towards acquiring good quality internet for the first time in my life, calling up Spectrum and setting up an installation. The phone call was quite amusing cause the guy kept trying to sell me on going with the 400mbps internet (which is $20 more) me not wanting to do that even though it's tempting, mainly because with real world conditions I don't see me getting even 3/4ths of that on average. I just wanted internet (which would be $40 a month) but he then went on about their triple bundle for phone and cable, I told him again that I wasn't interested then he mentioned "the thing about the triple bundle is that the 400 gets included at no additional cost, and since we're non-contract after the first month you can just drop the cable and phone, and you'll still keep the 400 internet" like damn, cable companies really want you to get their cable service even if you don't keep it. So effectively until March 21st I'll have cable, after which I'm getting rid of that shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you can, I have done it. You can also do it cheap, for like less than $75. Especially with Spectrum. They will let you use your own equipment, all you have to do is ask. Trust me, do it.

They paid $15/hour just to complain about productivity. my gramps died back in 2010, I have a real dad and step-dad and neither one of them were worth a damn, my gramps was the greatest man that I'll ever know. He died around a week after father's day back in 2010. For well over a year he was having constant medical issues, and collapsing from time to time, there being random moments where he'd be unable to breathe. there was one point that he was in the hospital in a medical induced coma after having some form of heart failure, but he managed to make it through that. It became a thing where I got used to him always making it through whatever happened, so when I saw him the last time on that father's day I didn't think much of what was going on, I wasn't a jerk or anything but I was more interested in going home and doing other shit, if I knew that'd be the last day I'd see him and talk to him I'd liked to have done more. I do think he went at the best time though, my grandma found out he had cancer that week, and she was told that he needed surgery for something, and after that was over she had to decide if she wanted him to do chemo, or go on hospice. So either have him suffer through chemo for who knows how many months in hopes of gaining a bit more time, or just sit around for several weeks or so, waiting to die. what ended up happening though was my gramps went during the surgery he had to have before the choice had to be made, saving my grandma from making that choice, as well as not having to suffer for his remaining time.

I bought my own router instead of paying the $5 extra a month for one, I'll see how their modem holds up since it's included for free, but depending on how it goes I'll likely look into buying a different one.

Distinct Lunatic 401 Posted March 1, 2020 Went furniture shopping today for when I do move. Am pretty annoyed though honestly, cause earlier this past week my realtor told me that the closing date was next Friday at 3:30, but on the way to the furniture store my mom was texting her, asking questions, her telling my mom that closing date will be the 12th and had no clue where I was getting the 6th from, I went on my phone and screenshot the text that she sent to me, her telling me that was an accident, and it will be the 12th, which means I'm waiting 2 weeks instead of 1 to get this done. I also need to reschedule my personal day at work, again, and since the 12th is a Thursday it's going to be fucking annoying taking that day off then coming back for Friday just to get the weekend off. I still technically have 2 personal days left even though I should only have 1 left (I took one over christmas break cause there were 4 days we were required to work where we'd quite literally just be sitting around doing nothing, I took 1 of them off but the offices were closed and I think my boss forgot to pass that info along so the day was never deducted), I was planning on playing things safe and only use 1 more personal day, cause I want to avoid the possibility of my boss remembering if I were to take 2 off, but I'm gonna put in for the 2 days, I do think it's very unlikely that he'd remember since he's a very busy guy, overseeing 60+ workers spread around 8 buildings, him being called over 10 minutes over something else. As far as furniture goes, my grandma spent around $1050 on new furniture for me, I really didn't want her to spend that much on me, but she really wanted to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
