@ Trit

Yeah, it sucks. I wanted to take a year off and work but my parents raised me to believe that I absolutely had to go to university as soon as I finished high school. I'm sure I'll figure something out, but I'm pretty miserable about it in the mean time.

Yeah, accounting only has basic math that you can do on a basic calculator, you don't even need a scientific one for it. It's such a weird association that people make that accounting means math. Accounting just means numbers but very basic math at that. It's more about learning the principles behind it. I love numbers and I do well in math but I don't love all areas of math. Statistics and Geometry can suck my left nut.

All you can eat sushi birthday party tonight, it's a true shame I don't enjoy saki.

Your birthday or someone else's? If yours then Happy Belated Birthday. If someone else's then tell them Happy Belated Birthday for me. lol that conversation "Some random guy in NY wanted me to tell you happy belated birthday. Yeah, it's no one that you know he just wanted to wish you birthday greetings."

From your experience which isn't much. A business degree is more worthwhile than some of the other fluff degrees. You know what people take when they are unsure what they should be taking Psychology. I always groan when I hear someone mention that they are majoring in Psych. 9 times out of 10 they won't finish it and end up switching majors.

Yeah, that's how I felt last night and I ended up bailing on an important meeting that I needed to go to. The meeting was about how PFOS seeped into our water supply and why the whole city's water supply had to be shut down and re-routed from a different lake/aquaduct. I'm getting tested soon to make sure that I don't have PFOS in my blood or that the levels are very low. High serum levels of PFOS are associated with increased risk of chronic kidney disease. So I definitely want to find out.

Except I've been doing that for years and nothing untoward has happened before. Might have something to do with disc golf the day before and sleeping weird TBH.

Installed my new hard drive in my Mac, just waiting for it to finish restoring my last back up. 5 Days without a laptop has made me realize just how addicted to technology I am.

I went almost 5 days without power in January and felt no withdrawal symptoms of any sort (but I was still bored as **** since we were virtually trapped in our neighborhood). Grow a ****ing pair.

Last time a hurricane knocked out our power I came to hate the sterile, obnoxious light of incandescent bulbs. They are an aesthetically inferior light source to candles and gas lamps and it would be nice if those were not such an impractical alternative. Reading by the warm light of a gas lamp in the dead quiet of a powerless world was something I really grew to love.

In the 90s I lived without power for 2 years, deep in the bush in Northern New South Wales. We still had a tape player that ran off batteries. It is something you grow to love, and when I came back to Adelaide not having a fire going felt pretty strange (as did sleeping indoors). I was also clueless about pop culture references of the time - I'd never heard of Seinfeld or The Simpsons but people were quoting them incessantly.

Cult?

No, just squatting in the forest with a bunch of people. At one point I even held down a job (picking coffee berries) while living in a tree house - I saved up lots of cash not having to pay rent. A lot of that sort of thing goes on over there.
