I suppose you could ask to try the supervisor job for a month or two and see how it goes. That would require your employer to be aware of and sensitive to your condition, though...

My managers are aware and supportive helping me control my condition as necessary (e.g., leaving the sales floor if necessary to utilize some DBT stuff).

 

If I go full time, even for a month, I will definitely lose benefits, so it's all or nothing.

Hopefully not literally.

 

Me mum has colon cancer, she has pain in the arse all the time and it is dreadful seeing her suffer.

 

But yeah, turns out I have inherited some thyroid shit and also cancer in my direct family.

So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

 

RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.

Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.

Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.

I strike out every other week.

Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.

Randox pretty much stays rational.

Etc, etc

I added a really crude 'decoration' tool that allows me to place static objects (like walls):

I also had to add support for static objects lol.

I'm also working on a really dumb pong game where you use the pong ball as a weapon for a class assignment:

You play as Sneaksy (a rip off of the Mahjarrat Sliske from RS) and need to steal the Jakkenstone (rip off of the Stone of Jas) from the Drakkenson (rip off of the Dragonkin) but need to kill waves of enemies in the process using the Staff of Armadyllo (rip off of the Staff of Armadyl) using the Storm of Armadyllo (...) spell. You can resurrect fallen enemies as wights (like the Barrows brothers in RS; Sliske is the one who turned them) to help you in your conquest. After killing enemies you can power up the Storm of Armadyllo by bouncing it off the Jakkenstone to deal more damage. The ball doesn't ever go out of bounds but you have to swipe it in a direction when it's near you for it to do damage or something I'm not sure yet.

Been in Texas for a week now. So far so good. Had a bit of a rough start though. The housing i'm staying in was organized through the school. Apparently it's actually meant for the Uni students, but the school has a deal with them so we can stay here too, which is cool. The apartments are "fully furnished", which to me means it's fully furnished as in appliances and shit too. Since the school never mentioned otherwise, imagine my shock when i finally finish moving in and realise fully furnished really just meant "bed, couch, fridge". It's 6pm, i've been up since 6am running around doing registration and paper work. Haven't had a bite to eat, only had a small bottle of water. I'm tired, starving, and the only food i had with me had to be cooked and i had a few cans of tuna. For some reason i had a spoon in my backpack, which i had to use to open a can of tuna. Took me easily 20 minutes to open it up, 2 small cuts on my finger, but damn did that tuna taste good. I was more than just a bit annoyed, especially considering the school's driver took me to go shopping and never once thought it might be a good idea to mention i should pick up a pot and a pan while im there. Anyway... few days later and i at least have a few basics to cook with and such. Apart from that initial hiccup though, things have been pretty alright otherwise. Just been doing ground school for now. Should start flying again within the next week or so. Pretty excited about that. Also need to start looking for a car so i can actually get around a bit easier, and not have to rely on transportation provided by the school. They basically just take you to school and back, and i'd like to actually be able to go places. Also, it's pretty weird being in the western civilization again. It's funny how you don't really notice how different it is living in the middle east until you're not living there. Small things like how much friendlier people tend to be. Maybe it's a southern thing, but people here seem super friendly. It's nice.

Yeah, fully furnished never means all appliances and everything for us either. Washing machine, fridge and stove are generally included though. But everything smaller - nope, bring your own.

I've realized it's the thing with every city. People in cities are always tied up in their rat race, no time for anyone or anything. And that means a lot of rudeness aswell. Things are not so bad in smaller towns or places.

Was talking to a classmate today about the current political situation between Qatar and the UAE, Saudi, and some other GCC nations. Well, the conversation started there and drifted off to other things, but i'll get to that in a bit. Anyway, the entire conversation really just reaffirmed to me that Saudi is a poisonous pile of shit. I realise that with this political situation both sides (both Qatar and the other Nations) are pretty much equally guilty. As we were talking i was owning up to the bad things Qatar has been doing to cause and prolong the crisis, but whenever i so much as mention anything negative regarding Saudi and the UAE, i get shot down and told it's all bullshit propaganda. One example was an advert aired in Saudi of the Saudi Air Force shooting down a Qatar Airways plane for entering the Saudi airspace. The point of the advert was pretty simple. It was a direct warning. I mentioned it and was told that the advert was taken out of context (which it wasn't) and got told there was nothing really wrong about it. I mentioned the funding of various terrorist groups. It's pretty common knowledge that the entire region funds various groups. Nope. Apparently Saudi hasn't been funding any groups for years now. It's all just fake news and propaganda. The people there have been so brainwashed by the government and media. In their eyes, Saudi has done absolutely nothing wrong, the UAE has done nothing wrong, and Qatar has been doing nothing right. 

 

We talked about other various things too, shit like relationships and the role of women. What women can and can't wear, etc. I think this was the first time i ever really spoke about these things in such detail with someone. I was actually kinda disgusted by some of the answers he gave me. How he just thought it was perfectly normal to tell a woman to cover herself, how it's perfectly normal for a woman to tell her husband to cover himself, the whole "multiple wives" thing. It was actually kind of eye-opening.

Sounds like the things a guy that said Saudi is without fault would say. I don't think I would have carried a conversation past that. But then, I don't much like having any conversation these days.

It occured to me - that while there are only like 6 people active on the forum there are still a large number of guests that trawl through the posts from 2009 and look at old ass accounts - My guess is that it's either an opportunist looking for salvageable information to make some recovery attempts the email log-in system was not implemented for many people. Jokes on them though - those dead-ass accounts probably only have a whip and a d chain RS3 :P

I met a few Saudis in NZ. They were on a wee bit different opinion about a lot in their country. But they had also lived quite a long time in one of the most equal countries in the world in terms of genders, NZ. They thought the new king would change a lot towards the more liberal.

 

But as they say, power corrupts and absolute power, like the royal families have in pretty much all of the Middle East corrupts absolutely.

A while back (a long while back) I tried logging back into RS just to have a look at the new graphic interface. I think RS3 had just come out. My account got CLEANED out. Not sure what happened, but honestly it was fine.

Just got my application accepted for a new apartment!!! I'm moving to a new area of town with a new roommate and while the last couple weeks looking for stuff sucked we ended up finding a super dope spot. The apartment we found is a 3 story townhouse where we each have our own bedroom and bathroom, and its 1400 sq ft so we have a hugeeee living area too and a massive patio that isn't even accounted for in that. and the place is like $600/month cheaper than my current apartment so my rent is going down too. And it's only less than a ten minute walk away from the downtown part of the neighborhood. I'm putting a deposit down tomorrow and its soooooo nice to just have this sorted out finally.

 

Now to deal with the logistics of actually moving in 2 weeks... then getting a car... then a new job... shit  feels like its never going to slow down lol but I'm definitely ready for some changes

I fell into a pit of YouTube music and came away with a new appreciation of sad boy rap. Nothing, Nowhere and Lil Lotus particularly.

 

At least something interesting happened I guess

12-15k on a used car? Why? You can get a brand new Honda Civic for $15k and it'll last you 20 some years without issue. Also, very good MPG

I wanted to spend 12-15k on my car when I bought it, but by the time everything was over, it was 20-22k...

 

Be careful with the dealerships, I guess is what I'm saying.

My skin is finally getting soft

Got my schedule, gonna be here in Norway till end of September. Free house till then.

 

Absolutely no plans whatsoever after that. I'd like to apply to university here, but I realized I am not gonna pass the language test for Norwegian just yet, can't write it that well and my vocabulary is too limited. So thinking of touring a bit of Europe, then getting a job in the ski resort over winter and learning the language meanwhile aswell.
