(+) Yeah! (+)

Did a lot today. Went to the office and waited for the engineer to fix my laptop up to my workplace's database, but he was a no-show.

Managed to get a lot of my Data Course and Python Course done in the meantime.

Worked at the office again today, pretty good throughout. Met a few people and one of the bosses who was super nice.

Got some coding done in the social rooms in my free time.

One big thing is that I've continued writing a big story I started to write years ago. Along with my drawings, I've made a whole world, plot points, characters, lore, everything. Compiling all the names, era's of the storylines, and beginning to make character descriptions and drawings for the various characters that will appear in the different time-lines all in my new laptop.

I don't know why but ever since I've become more active, especially with this job, my mind has been overflowing with creativity. I'm actually keeping up with all my goals, and its surprising me.

Finished work then went out with my gf. Not much to update except I'm exhausted. Gonna sleep.

Done some more writing and course materials after work. So tired!

I didn't kill myself :)

Live life to the fullest!

Ugh something wrong with my work laptop, getting BSOD. Need to call support tomorrow, don't want to mess about with it myself.

Got my laptop fixed today, relatively easy so I was freaking out for nothing!

Also it's gotten so hot now. I find myself with no energy to do anything because of the heat. It's annoying.

Another day of work. Actually willingly worked almost 3 hours more than I was supposed to >_>

I should cut down on that for a few days.

Thanks, always appreciate the support Ankha.

Did another section of my data course after work. Hopefully I'll finish this part by the weekend and continue python.

Just saw the final fantasy anniversary stream and holy shit!

Actually finished a lot at work today. Did some Japanese, gonna sleep. Tomorrow I'm gonna study a lot with my gf outside.

Managed to get some work done at a coffee shop as well as some Japanese.

Going to do some more tonight to finish off a few sections.

Spent the whole day outside studying again. So tired, will sleep soon. Work tomorrow morning.

We're also implementing a new system for our servers so that's going to be fun x_x

Got some work done. The new system wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My colleagues are actually having a hard time adjusting to it instead.

Bump.

Got to get a lot done at work, been doing a bit of overtime again. Best thing about it though that its remote so I get to sit on my fat ass in my room :>

I managed to get a bit of drawing done tonight! Its been a while. Trying to find some commissions I got done from a few comic cons back then, but I've misplaced them somewhere in my room. Driving me crazy.

Okay found them. Also want to maybe print a few commissions out and frame them. The commissions are of my FFXIV character. I want to decorate part of my wall with her.

Been working on a banking app using JavaScript.

I'll show yall screenshots when its done.

He normally doesn't get ToU violations. I respect him, so I'll also help.

Still working on the bank app.
Learning more about arrays because I'm not very good with them.
The map method in arrays is something I have been learning about, but still a bit confused by it.

Yeh all that sounds pretty foreign to me lol. Im working on learning to read tarot better, I got a new deck for that, and also learning some recipes and being responsible and eating at home for all my meals. Thats going well I think.

That is so cool. I always wanted to go to a tarot reader. Do you offer readings to people yet?

I could definitely throw something together, the one Ive been practicing is a 6 card setup thats pretty good as an introduction to tarot in general. Im gonna start practicing tonight at around 7pm MST, Ill tag you with a brief primer on what tarot does and doesnt do, and some of the limitations etc. One thing I like to have people consider is that its much more of a framework for a meditative exercise than any form of divination, and a common trap for the uninitiated is to view it as such, especially in the instances where it provides confirmation bias.

I got home super late and just finished dinner and prepping food for tomorrow, I might not feel up to drawing any cards tonight.

That's okay. Tag me when you do. I'd be interested to see them.

I didn't do anything tonight either, or last night. I will go back to my JavaScript practice tomorrow after work.

Got some time to code but going to bed soon.

Made a cool tab thingy :D

I sat through like 8.5 hours of tattooing last night, it was my longest ever and we still didnt get done. I wanted to tap out so many times starting at the 6 hour mark.

What does the tab thing do, exactly? Manage them in some way?

Your tattoo or someone elses?

Pretty much exactly that. It's for a portfolio project that I plan on finishing this summer. Just trying to come up with unique ways to show off future projects to potential employers.

Ooh thats pretty neat, I could definitely see a lot of applications for an organizer for tabs.

And yeh it was my tattoo, heres the progress:

still leaking a bit.

Oh that's really cool. Which character is that? The wings are pretty.

That's why I'm making it. It will help keep me organized as well.

Happy 4th!

Started watching videos about JavaScript OOP.

Learned about the prototype method. Also took some time off to do other chores.

Shit I been slacking in here. Do you work in app/web dev? Are you a self taught programmer?

Yeah you have been!

And no, I don't work web dev yet. I'm hoping to by the end of the year.

I am self taught. I'm working through a udemy course and making my own projects.

My friends dad said he may be able to hook me up with a data input job, but I don't think they pay much so I may have to pass.

I dont work in tech so I cant say for sure, but I know the pay ramps up so quickly through hearing from friends that sometimes a hand in is more valuable than higher starting pay. Ultimately, youll make a good decision on which has more value, but I think looking at the starting pay alone might give a pretty limited view of how worthwhile the job is.

One thing I was thinking about, is that when I shop online I tend to open about 3 or 4 dozen tabs and narrow things down from there, and being able to move them into different categories like maybes, not nows, and better than good odds would be so handy since navigating everything how I do is so obtuse and inefficient. Im not sure if your idea is already incorporating that but Id for sure use something like that.

Oh if I had a real programming job I would just apply everywhere in my area. I would take anything if it had to do with web dev. Luckily I live in the Bay Area so there's tons of options, I'm just not at the skill level yet. I work full time but I try dedicating at least 1 full hour a day (more on my days off) on programming.

If the data entry job my friends dad is talking about pays at least $20 an hour I would take it. I make $25 an hour now but I can handle $5 less if it means I get to join his company. It would be worth it.

Fell asleep early last night so didn't accomplish anything.

Working on a map app!

It's coming along nicely.

Spent Friday and Saturday night out celebrating friends birthdays.

Need to get back on track before I sleep now and code a bit.

I wonder how long his purg is.

I'd guess 30 days so another week.
