I edited my feels page. Just found out I could, too! No offense to anyone, but that default pink is hard to look at for extended periods. At least for me. :-(
Yesterday I kept myself distracted with a bit of soldering. I have a Gameboy Camera that would not boot up. Every time would act like the contact were bad or had oxidation, but they were squeeky clean... Feeling I had nothing much to lose, I tried my hand at reflowing the surface mount components. I applied flux to the traces and raked the iron across the contacts. Worked like a charm after fiddling with a few bridged traces. Lo and behold, I brought the game back to life after years of not working. How'd a trace break in the first place??
I tried following up an application with a call, but nobody answered the phones! I tried a few times too... Ran out of time and had to go. I'll try again after work tomorrow. Not really a good thing now that I think about it. Nobody answering calls. Hm.
I have to take my cat to the vet Friday. He keeps getting discharge built up in his ear. I had medicine thats nearly impossible to apply to a cat. I have to get help just to keep him still. Anyway, I ran out of that and worried infection will set in. Better safe than sorry.
Not much to say. I'm still combatting procrastination and laziness. I'm trying to get into a study routine, but theres always something getting in my way and slowing me down.
I still find myself asking if this is what I really want to study. Will I enjoy this? Guess it boils down to just trying. Try to get these certifications. Try to get this job.
I'm really tired of where my life is headed right now. I don't really enjoy my current job. Even if it's tolerable. I'm getting too old to be doing this. I need to find what I enjoy doing. That sounds strange, you figure I would know myself by now. I recently cut something out of my life that has alway come back to haunt me. An addiction of sorts. Wait, just a really lame/bad habit. It always has stopped real progress and keeping me further distracted. I will keep it at bay this time.
If you are still reading this, I apologize. My thoughts are a little scattered tonight. Thanks for reading this far. Maybe if I keep writing like this I'll figure something out sooner.
