Blah. A bit bored. My son’s playing Shadow of War and however awesome it is, it does get old after a few hours.

I know the feeling. :( the only people i interact with are at work. I rarely even see, let alone have more than a 3 sec tslk with my housemates. We just keep to ourselves. I don’t even know anyone around here. I moved here in August and I’m the worst at socializing. What kinds of things do you do for fun?

Uptime on my iMac: I dunno, like a year now? I think it's been a year. Possibly 2 years since I had to reboot it for any reason, including an update.

Uptime on the Windows PC my dad just bought me for Twitch streaming (as a bday present, thanks dad!!): 3 days before I had to reboot it 3 times to make the UI fully render in the start menu.

Ahhh... Windows.

Someday when Google Drive finishes synching the 119GB I've apparently accumulated on there, I can get my channel up and running full time again.... :p

So wait... bleach? Was there something about eating bleach?

Vintage cars, Historical firearms, writing, hotrodding, sewing, reloading, drawing digitally, welding, and historical research, as well as hopefully finishing my fursuit.

Oh yeah and I can't physically drink beer it causes me physical pain. And I have a speech impediment!

I'm also an insomiac who is use to getting 3 hours a sleep a night and I'm much more active at night then I am during the day.

I'm also demisexual which makes life that much more fun because I feel no sexual attraction at all until an emotional bond is formed and in this day and age seems like I might as well be picking lottery numbers.

I truly hate how I am.

Oh that sucks. Hope it's not that same thing again. Please be careful not to burn out. Don't make yourself ill. *hug*

I keep on coming back to a desire to van dwell. Maybe it's because I realize my chances of renting, let alone owning anything bigger than a broom closet is so low.

Maybe it's due to the notion I'd really rather see the world then be spent up in this god damn cold ass state. Maybe it's because I never felt at home and I'm pretty miserable and alone.

I just see stuff like this and go. Damn.. damn.,

Living in a van sounds pretty cool to be honest. And if you think about it it's actually just like living on a boat, which people do all the time, only with wheels. I think you should head for California. Not LA or the Bay Area, which are WAY too expensive, but one of the other towns. The wine growing areas or the smaller coastal places where welders would definitely be welcome. Get some all year sun and to enjoy life a bit more. I really think you'd be happier there :)

I’m in debt from my loans. Generally, as long as you decide that you have the will to follow through with it most can find a way to make college work. It’s definitely not at all needed. I make much less than tons of people without any formal education/trade school. I definitely think a college degree is becoming so oversaturated that having that degree doesn’t mean so much anyway. Sounds like a rough upbringing. I had it easy as far as safety is concerned, i grew up out in the boonies. It was just lonely and depressing.

I have a team of people in LA that report to me, even though I work over here in Europe. My absolute best guy out there, the one I rely on more than anyone to not just get the job done, but to help everyone else get theirs done too, doesn't have a college degree. There was a bit of drama when we first hired him because he had a college down on his resume, but he then told us he dropped out after one semester and never completed the course. HR accused him of trying to pull a fast one and wanted me to drop his application, but luckily I was able to smooth that over. Some people shine in academia, others shine while on the job. He's definitely the latter and my team would really struggle without him.

So I personally don't hire based on having a degree. It's entirely optional, and if I have that attitude others will too.

Wish things were easier.

If I didn't have my debt Id already be on the road.

My thoughts are now with this job is that even if I don't get hired on (unlikely but the company itself might collapse. It's unfiling itself out of bankruptcy. :eek:) I can use the aluminum welding skills and see if I could set up a business repairing boats and trailers. It'd be really easy for me to do so. Especially with inverter welders these days.

It'll happen. Sometimes things take a bit of time, but if you keep plugging away suddenly everything falls into place. You're lucky in one way. No dependents. That does give you options and freedom, so it's just all about the timing now.

Hope that company keeps paying you in the meantime though. That's a worry none of us need.

I've had a couple of van dwelling friends. It seems like the people who make it work have a base to return to; doesn't have to be a house even, but somewhere you know you can return to, store things at and park up for a while without being hassled. A friend who tried van living without any sort of base felt burned out by it after only a short time.

Yeah, it's not very much fun if you're moving constantly because you have to. It's nice to settle down for at least a few months in one spot for a while. When we moved to Oregon earlier last year, we moved campgrounds almost daily for about 3 months. That was quite the hassle!
