Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

It took 43 hours to run out of things to do on XV in chapter 3, so now I have to do story :<

I was on earlier but the only thing I could queue for that didn't take 30 minutes was POTD and I am kinda burned out on that.

Ugh I gotta log in because I forgot to do moogle stuff.

pretty sure Y'shtola is amazing with twigs

also Terra's sword

finally got a birdy! *flails*

Prompto is really bad at his hobby.

i need to make myself start alex, but i have no desire =(

I just had a picture of him getting a shot of the floor and nothing else.

sums up most video games for me

So if Hawaii is getting snow, maybe I'll have a chance at a White Christmas this year!

It does sound intriguing. I've been thinking of checking it out, myself. I might wait for it to pop up on Netflix or something, though.

I hope I don't feel crappy tomorrow. Felt like this weekend was nonexistent. I played games a handful of hours, didn't get to hang out with anyone I wanted to hang out with, and slept restlessly even when I slept for long periods.

Friday at work I almost collapsed a few times when I was offloading tires out of the trailers, and I nearly puked a few times after lunch. I don't feel ill, there's no symptoms. I just don't feel well, and I've felt very grumpy/crabby/irritated all weekend. I don't know why. Bedtime for me though.

I heard Vyre doesn't even lift.

I'm in the fitness protection program.

*takes drink*




i recommend miso soup and an entire roasted duck. do this for two days and report back.

I wonder what gods I have to pray to and/or kill to get a Shiggles drawing.

I mean, in XI I had to kill several gods, then become one, then give up the power of godhood.

in 14, I have had to kill every god or god-like being that's been tossed my way.

Although I've never actually prayed to any of them in game...

the *** you trying to advertise to me, amazon

notice there is no partridge in a pear tree. feels like a scam.

No worries, fam, they got you covered on partridge as well.

I wouldn't fret or over-analyse things too much. As adults, invariably life-changes happen--whether indirectly from employment or relationship changes, or from our direct actions/dissatisfaction with our current situations, or want for new directions to satisfy personal needs (or even avoiding undesired outcomes.)

As such, while some adults can go their entire lives on one job, with one employer, most will at some point have different career paths, and a few will have many varied careers. While it is the case that having a single dedicated/dependable employer/vocation through one's lifetime will simplify life later on (in terms of dealing with singular retirement programs, retaining higher levels of seniority/pay-scales in that line of work, avoiding having to repeatedly re-experience job-skill learning curves upon entering new vocations/worksites, etc.) there isn't really a functional difference if one diversifies skill-sets and does different jobs, IMHO. Even retirement benefit programs often can be converted or rolled-over with minimal fuss to a new employer's version, or retained as a backup without paying too many fees/expenses.

The main issue--aside from pay/opportunities for vertical progression--for most, I think, is the notion that what we do (vocation-wise) as adults defines who we are. Even speaking pragmatically, when we talk casually and introduce ourselves to others most times the topic comes up "so what do you do?" or "what is your line of work?" That concept of self-identity as defined by our employment and job-title isn't just a modern-issue, and certainly is a factor of the classic "mid-life crisis", but it is something we have to make peace with in our own minds as we navigate through big life changes.

My view is that change happens, and is healthy, and is necessary...for good changes or bad, our flexibility as humans allows us to at least choose the life situations that are most comfortable among the options we have before us. Because big changes are inevitable in life, changes to vocations will happen as well. It's not necessarily a reflection on our inability to maintain a dependable lifetime status-quo...but maybe just don't count out the possibility that you have yet to find your 'perfect fit' combination of job/employer/location/life-situation still, before assuming there might be no such thing. ^^;;
