A gamer's life in the balance #MegaRant
Aug. 6th, 2012 11:18 amIt's weird, but the more my life starts rockin', the less I seem to be sleeping. I am writing this entry severely sleep-deprived, so please forgive me for doing this, but I need to get this off my chest before I can resume my (finally slightly successful) programming. (Actually, I'm gonna be mostly coding, and write some during my down-time)
You know the phrase "you don't know what you [got], 'til it's gone"? That phrase is utter bullshit. The moment something is replaced by something else, you put that something on the back burner and won't think about it until it's been brought up by someone. Like abandonware. Used to be a major hobby of mine, but hardly anyone will ever hear me talk about it anymore.
( Big game rant. Worth reading, I think )
One thing I do miss now that I don't "got" it anymore: Sleep. I'm babysitting a cat (fossil, 19 years old), that first started meowing at 5 in the morning last week, but it has gotten earlier and earlier. Last night she was at it at 1 o'clock. At one point she'll be consistently messing up my sleep cycle. I do like cats though. XP Also, I've been working out recently, to attempt to be more fit for a cosplay I still wish to do. My sleep deprivation has so far not done much to my exercise routine, but I fear it might start hindering my schedule soon. I may have to put the cat in my brother's room overnight...
Disclaimer: As stated at the beginning, I am severely sleep deprived, and I am coding and compiling (also searching databases) on and off while writing this, so it might lack coherency from time to time. The views expressed herein are my own and without filter, I mean to insult no individual, so use your own filter wherever required. I still believe (hope?) that there are some decent managers out there that aren't in it for the bonus, that intend to stay around for longer than 2-4 years. Managers that can see what's good for the company, even when it isn't good for the wallet for the first year (i.e. where long-term vision defines more than 5 years). Cats rule, kthx.
