Walsingham Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Hang in there, Nep. Personally haven't been sleeping too well. Didn't get more than eight hours sleep total over the past four days. I hope I don't start hallucinating again. I had a couple of days like that last spring. That blows. Feeling a bit better now that I unburdened myself to my boss about my future plans. Still not giving a ****, but now it's in a less depressed way. I think you should learn to play banjo. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Walsingham Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Was just an off the cuff remark. But to follow through I think you worry too much about your work environment. You need some stuff outside work, and an opportunity to vent some of your wilder tendencies. Banjo's just an example of something you could do that is technically challenging, would introduce you to new people, and give you a complete break. "It wasn't lies.

This place hasn't been conducive to changing that aspect of my life, which is why I'm looking at getting back to an actual city instead of an old market square with a couple of buildings around it.

I hear what Walsie is saying and I get what he means but I don't think you can understate the importance of a healthy work environment, especially when we spend a lot of time working. Personally I love my job and since work is one of the things in life that I do believe defines us if you aren't happy at work then you need to fix that and take it seriously Also Nep you are in a fortunate position due to your education and experience where I assume you can get work in other cities, many people are stuck in a job they hate and they can't get another decent job even if they wanted to 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

I haven't seen and Watcher badges yet outside of as a test on a moderator I'm curious to see if any of the $5,000+ backers are regulars or if they would even out themselves. The gold badges are pretty impressive too at a range of $500-4999 Free games updated 3/4/21
