Things that happened since I last was here:
- I'm burnt out and on sick leave, trying to figure out how to recover and find a new career.
- I adopted a cat! (Or rather he adopted me)
- I developed an unhealthy obsession with Joni Mitchell's "Blue"

Not that anyone actually reads me here lol. But I was away recovering from shingles. Single handedly the most painful thing I have experienced and it's worse than surgery pain or fractures. Go get your herpes zoster vaccine.

Spanish has always been one of those languages I never put a lot of effort into (due to being too similar to Portuguese, my mother language). But now, using it daily at work, Im… kinda enjoying it?
Couple years ago I thought of moving to Spain, maybe that’s a sign I should

Lily Allen’s “West End Girl” just goes to show scorched-earth albums are the best kind of albums. It almost makes me wish I had a horrible relationship and a messy divorce of my own lmao

I’ll never get Europe. If the daylights saving time lasts for seven months, why not make it the permanent time zone? Or call the other five months the new daylights saving time?

Thinking about how I ruined my career by being greedy and wanting to be paid a better salary.
Now I’m well paid but unhappy and every day I wonder how things could have been if I had accepted my lifeline outside marketing back in 2023.

My favourite thing about the recent big layoff in Estonia (iykyk) is watching people that haven’t given a crap to me in ages (colleagues, acquaintances and “friends” alike) suddenly remember that I exist and try to ask me for help with job recommendations or CVs lmao. Good riddance

The toilet in my office stays inside another closed room and there’s a delay on the light switch. Every time I go pee, I turn on the lights outside, enter, close the door and stay under perfect darkness for like 5 seconds. No light leaks inside. It’s amazing.

My Steam backlog just gets bigger and bigger. 187 unplayed games. Almost 300 games in total.
I desperately need a millionaire sugar daddy to pay my bills. The 10 hours away from home are eating precious gaming time 😮💨😮💨😮💨

I had my access card hanging in a neck lanyard at the bus, secured and safe. By the time I arrive at work, I have neither my lanyard nor my access card anywhere.
Is that
a) normal?
b) inattentive ADHD?
c) an evil spirit making me lose things?
d) all of the above?

The most remarkable thing about Bluesky is how little it offers in terms of negativity. Recommended posts are never inflammatory or with horrible takes

Every time I read Chinese news in English about internet and culture, they’re always using the word “netizens” and I feel like I’m reading some boomer talking about “surfing the web” in the early 2000s

My grandma used to make a soup for us with whatever veggie was in season, as well as legumes and leaves. She called it “trash soup”.
Today I went to an Italian cafe, ordered minestrone (which I have never had). And to my surprise, it was the same soup from my grandma.
Trash Soup is minestrone.

I walk up 27 stair flights and roughly 15000 steps per day. I take thyroid medication religiously. I have a very plant-based, high-fiber, low-fat, low-salt diet. I do intermittent fasting from 18:00 to 08:00.
And yet I only lost weight while on an extreme diet. Sigh. I wish I could do Ozempic.
