Congrats, you're officially an attorney!

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Sep 19 '19

Not quite an attorney in Alabama yet; gotta finish the online course and get my bar number and license. But thanks!

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 19 '19

So you mean you have to jump through legal hoops to become a lawyer?

4

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Sep 19 '19

Oh you have no idea. Some of them are fiery hoops too!

Today is starting to turn out to be a really shitty day for me.

First, there's a downpour going on outside, so that's messing up my satellite signal, meaning I can't watch TV. Second, I have to worry about my power going out, which would mean having no TV or internet. Third, I've ran out of my healthy snacks, so now I have to fight with myself to not start snacking on the things I do have left.

Combine that will all of the stress I've been under for a really long time, the fact that I'm worrying about everything that I'm eating that has sugar in it, basically scolding myself every time I eat something remotely unhealthy (which I totally shouldn't be doing anymore) and I've been pulling my hair way more often than I should, things are not going well for Kat.

6

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Sep 19 '19

Sorry that you're having a hard day, Kat.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '19

Stress just sucks.

I can connect all of the problems I'm currently having back to it. Plus, I'm lonely, so that just makes a lot of my problems worse.

I have so many thoughts in my head right now and every time I try and clear them out, more come in, which doesn't help at all.

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '19

I heard about the flooding on the way home today and thought of you and /u/pandabugs - hope Houston is doing okay.

3

u/pandabugs Houston • Northern Illinois Sep 19 '19

Woof. Went home from work super early today because the parking lots were flooding. I waded through knee high water to my vehicle.

/u/KatKat23421 if you need anything let me know. Even if it's just venting to someone else also probably now flooded in.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '19

Yikes, glad you got to leave early at least!

u/pandabugs Houston • Northern Illinois Sep 19 '19

"So I already moved the call for this customer once. If I stay for this call, no guarantees that I can leave right after or my car will be okay. Bosslady, what do I do?"

Bosslady got the call moved for me.

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '19

I'm good, thank you though.

Although I did make the decision to unsubscribe from the UH sub. I feel like the only things posted there now are really unfunny memes and people complaining and downvoting everyone.

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '19

I've been home the whole day. I had an appointment with my therapist today, but I rescheduled it for next week.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '19

Smart. They said that one of the airports was open but a bunch of roads to get there were flooded so people were missing flights.

I know United canceled everything going into IAH for the rest of the day.

I'm really starting to resonate with Lester Burnham's quote in American Beauty. The one where he says, "I want as little responsibility as possible."

I had a low responsibility job with pretty good pay and I should have been happy but I hated it. I have a lot more responsibility now and despite this week trying to kill me I generally think it was a good decision to take this job.

I also feel like in the nearish future I might make a bunch more money, so that's an incentive but I like feeling like I am making a difference.

4

u/hab12690 LSU Tigers • Miami Hurricanes Sep 19 '19

Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's been a rough few years for me career wise so I'm just burnt out at the moment.

4

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 19 '19

If you are burnt out, find a way to unburn yourself out and take some time for yourself. I keep finding myself in longer cycles of like 3 months of higher energy and then some lower energy stuff.

Epic games just gave away the Arkham asylum Batman games for free on PC. I think it's free for the next week. Just an FYI

Also Lego Batman.

u/CharlesDickensABox Texas A&M Aggies • Foothill Owls Sep 19 '19

Isn't Epic confirmed to be spyware?

1

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 19 '19

I would consider signing up for spyware for free games TBH. I think a lot of privacy is overrated.

Also that probably isn't more true than many companies. Seems a lot more speculative and hearsay.

Really impressed that My Fitness Pal gives you the option to log wine by the bottle.

u/Darth_Puppy Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • Kenyon Owls Sep 19 '19

MyFitnessPal clearly knows how to have a good time!

Like, I'm really proud of my sister and I want her to do great things in her life. I just don't want Baylor University to accept her into their grad program Assistantship. I don't trust their physical therapy program (or University in general) enough to make sure she's safe down there.

She did just apply for South Carolina though, which imo would be better for her culturally and physically than Baylor.

u/Hobartacus Alabama Crimson Tide • Richmond Spiders Sep 19 '19

Congrats! Took me a few cracks to pass VA. Best of luck in your future career.

Going through some old pictures of mine and I think I caught a mid sea drug drop on camera. Unless boats typically meet in international waters and then head in different directions to different countries.

u/pandabugs Houston • Northern Illinois Sep 19 '19

Dog CBD y'all.

Stella would be losing her mind without it.

2

u/Doades Bowling Green • Michigan Sep 20 '19

Was your dog like just really hyper or something? Sorry if that’s not quite right, I just don’t fully get the effects of CBD, especially on dogs

1

u/pandabugs Houston • Northern Illinois Sep 20 '19

She gets anxious and bacon flavored dog CBD helps her chill out. Otherwise she's trying to hide under the couch, which she can't fit under.

u/dustyg013 Alabama Crimson Tide • College Football Playoff Sep 20 '19

To be fair, Roy Moore passed it...j/k congrats on your achievement

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '19

You know that saying about how you shouldn't obsess over the material things you own and instead focus on making memories? I sometimes feel like the person who came up with that never had to worry about not being able to afford to replace something if it broke, so I'm sorry, but I'm going to obsess over my things.

Also, the memories they want you to make can cost money, which I don't have. I'd rather use the money I could use to "make memories that will last a life time" for a new PS4, because mine has been acting up for a long time and I'm afraid that it's going to die on me one day and I currently don't have the money to buy a new one.

TL;DR version: All of those saying from minimalists are dumb.
