After finally being able to lay in bed and not get up until i fucking felt like it… i decided that today was going to be a ‘life admin’ day. take care of all the shit i have been putting off.
Coffee secured, i start with the lab to schedule something my neuro suggested. i need to confirm that the lab got the order before i get up ass early on a day off to go over there.
phone number for the location gives nothing but instruction for making an appointment online. no, ‘press 0 to speak with a representative’. nothing. i don’t want to make an appointment, i want to confirm that you got the damn order and walk in randomly one day this week. that is all.
main website also offers zilch in the way of contacting the company and speaking to a human being. the ‘help center’ is an FAQ thing and the ‘contact us’ is a web form.
i get this is where things are headed; ease, convenience, saving costs yadda yadda. but do we really have to completely remove the human option? i mean, is that necessary?
i just see companies that operate this way as… i dunno… They are the corporate equivalent of a rude mother fucker that treats customer service as an inconvenience and a financial drain. it’s bullshit.
Amazon does the same thing. i have not had a verbal interaction with a human being at amazon in years.
Do companies not realize that real people are going to garner consumer trust and loyalty much faster than simple ease of interaction?

What job would you do for free?
Are we assuming that my basic needs are addressed? If not, then none really, at least not more than odd jobs for loved ones. If i gotta make money to survive, i’m sure as hell not giving away time someone would pay me for!
But if so? Research. Consulting. Being in a think tank… ya know, nerdy shit!
And for the record ‘writing’ is not included because that is a default behavior, and occurs regardless of my circumstances.

What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
That depends, different emotions require different strategies.
Anger requires motion of some sort. Vigorous cleaning, using a punching bag, screaming into a pillow… they all use a lot of energy.
Fear requires stability. Breathing. Trusting yourself.
Sadness requires release. Writing a letter then burning it, saying what you feel out loud. Crying. And i mean at least 20 minutes of that messy, sobbing, borderline uncontrollable type if necessary.
i think you have to listen to the emotion, understand what it needs to move on and do something to give it that. Safely, of course.

I had a realization.
Random thoughts are not random at all. They are the eruptions of deeper levels of processing in the brain – the background shit. Something clicks, and boom! random thought.
they are the geysers of the mental and neurological realm.
This makes so much sense now….

i would just like to say that shaving my head was probably the most liberating thing i’ve ever done for myself. It’s fucking fabulous.
No bed head, no hat hair.
No shampoo, conditioner, or styling products.
No insane frizz, no forgetting hair ties, no trips to the salon.
I saved myself a ridiculous amount of time and a ridiculous amount of money.
And the best part?
i look good doing it.
*
20-30 minutes once a week.
Shaving cream.
and that’s it.

So i skipped breakfast today because i got up late, and would be home for lunch.
I wasn’t home for lunch. Because, life.
I am currently so hungry i feel like i could vomit.
Adulting sucks ass.
Can my inner child seek damages for false advertising? Can we get a class-action? Who wants in?

I love dogs, this is a known thing…
My dogs are my world, and we don’t deserve the kind of love they offer.
But…
i honestly love the idea of cats. These completely self sufficient fluff balls that don’t actually need you.
specifically, a cat like Fluffy, the cat i had growing up. Mostly aloof, will bitchslap a 200lb dog, and sit on your chest demanding attention because you need it more than she does.
She would climb the wall unit we had and just run and roll around up there until, randomly, she was just done and went back to normal cat stuff. She’d do this adorable little chirpy purr if you woke her from a nap, and make a sound like a little furry machine gun when watching birds in the yard.
She was just this… completely secure being. She knew she was gorgeous. She had amazing confidence for a six pound ball of floof. Sometimes, she would roll around on one of my dad’s work shirts one minute, the next, looking bored as she walked among her subjects to find the one worthy enough to give her attention.
If she loved you, you knew it without question. She walked away from doing weird shit without a second thought or a single fuck given to what anyone else thought of it.
Is it weird to strive to achieve the energy of a pet?
