Beating Off 2.0

yea they are a bit slow, but at least I know Wobbly will update the post - he usually does.

Its a long standing thing - I have known wobblyonion since irc days in 1993 ish - so yea I support them :stuck_out_tongue:
But I do normally go read other sources as well. I just havent had time yet :stuck_out_tongue:
SO thank you - at least I will have one season. I love the lead actress - she was brilliant in Teen Wolf.

Afternoon everyone. I am so happy this week is almost over. Had a horrible week thusfar. Still have not been able to shake my illness at all. In fact feeling worse today. So perhaps I’ll go back to the doctor over the weekend to get some actual pills.

But hope everyone is well, and IT’S ALMOST E3

That was good times.

I’ve just gotten out of bed. I had a 39.5 degree temperature I was shaking so violently it could have been an exorcism scene from the movies.

Hope feeling more human!

I use kotaku and polygon for the most part and then search for more and use the social media pages for the companies/games involved.

I ran out of time so I wanted to do a destiny 2 and stadia posts

You seem to be having deplorable weeks every week now. Is your work really worth it if you end up hating every week and wishing for weekend to come, only to be sick again due to immune system taking a knock from all the stress?

I’m asking, because I find myself in the same position most of the time. Right now I’m alone in Cape Town (after a 16 hour drive yesterday due to accident on N1 outside Worcestor last night) with my wife and baby back in Centurion. I had to come back a week earlier to save a burning project. My baby is apparently saying “papa” the whole time and looking for me, which frustrates my situation even more. He is too young (9 months old) to understand what’s going on.

I’m consoling myself that the situation is only temporary until the project is in full swing, after which things will hopefully quiet down a bit. I’ve got my trip to Austria and Ireland to look forward to later this year, as well as the beautiful house in Bloubergstrand we’re moving in to on 1 July.

We also decided to stick it out for a year in Cape Town and reassessing our options for the EU move in 2020. We might extend that a bit as well, because we want our boy to be old enough to communicate efficiently during such a long flight. I believe a ~1 year old can’t say exactly what he wants or really understand instructions from parents. Once he hits 18 months old we should be able to cope better with him on the flight. Source: flying with him twice now on domestic flights.

You do make a very valid point. The past couple of months have been rough. But then again I said this same thing last year this time as well. And I said it in October.

The problem is that at the moment I am stuck. I should be looking for a different job, but I don’t think I’ll get something like I have right now for the same pay. And the fact that I still feel some loyalty to try and get everything resolved and sorted. If I leave I don’t know what will happen to the team and the platform.

But maybe I’m just delusional. Maybe I just need a good, long holiday to properly rest. During the week I stayed at home, and still had to join meetings that nobody else could or wanted to join. So I worry about taking leave for longer periods of time.

But your comments are all valid, and something to think about.
