2025 Resolutions

Be less fat.
Get a job. That's about it. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. (January 2, 2025 at 2:39 pm)paulpablo Wrote: Be less fat. I lost some weight and seemingly passed a job interview. I actually could have done it sooner but the email they sent inviting me to the interview got sent to my spam folder and I only just saw it and replied last week, they were surprisingly understanding about it though. It makes me wonder how often that kind of thing happens. Also why the fuck email would look at an email titled "Job interview invitation" and automatically think that's definitely not important, stick that in the spam folder. Are you ready for the fire?

I remember something worse happening to a co-worker regarding a job interview thanks to a computer SNAFU. It involved an early version of Windows, I think 3.1. back in the early 90s. Apparently, he was presented with a field demanding his title during Windows set-up. It wouldn't let him continue without ii. Frustrated, he entered something silly like, "High Exalted All-Powerful Lord of the Universe". He got Windows set up and the Title thing was forgotten. Two years later, he used Windows to send a Word document replying to a job opening in the form of a fax. To his horror, he learned that Windows included his "Title" in the header of the fax.

I don't really do resolutions, but I do have a few goal-directed things I'm working on related to physical and mental health and transitioning to a life that is far less work-focused.
Stay alive and win the battle in my head.
