13 july 2020
I just learned that this server is not in my timezone! It is still July 12th where I am for a few more hours. I also need to pull in my vim config or at least just enforce a width limit so these paragraphs don't just trail off forever into the void of terminal text editors. Today was all right. I mostly nursed a sunburn from yesterday's bike ride and played video games with a friend (A). The social (if virtual) contact was good, I need as much time away from myself as possible these days. I called another friend (L) and gave him some advice for his interview with the company I work for. I'm not one for recs of personal friends usually, but he happens to be very qualified for the position and it's not even related to the thing that I do (software dev) so I feel like this is actually a good match. I hope he gets the job. I also talked to (N) today who gave me some tips on finding a new place, a thing I need to do soonish. My oldest friend (M) sent me pics of her hike today, as has become quarantine tradition, and I really want to live near some mountains. I got the sunday sads but fought it off by doing menial tasks (the adult chores I should have done earlier in the day) and I wasn't sure what to do next. Doing real programming outside of work has been tough lately because I am still running from some breakup feelings. Oh well, I'll get back to it. I need to spend less time policing myself and more time enjoying and embracing the ideas & feelings I bring into the world. I love this little unix box, it is small enough to feel private & cozy, but public enough to feed my millenial infinite-feed dopamine hit addiction - and still a little scary! Who is reading? Old farts? Whiz kids? Employers? Or are we all just regular fucking people connecting in the strangest way humans have ever done so? I hate the corporate vibration of the modern web - i want to be a hacker, roller blades & all.
