I’ve had pretty bad anxiety over the last few years but I’ve been able to manage it by limiting the amount of social media news from what I used to consume as well as taking 5-HTP and magnesium supplements plus getting back to a decent amount of exercise, which works for me. Prior to that I was having pretty bad heart palpitations with panic attacks and high blood pressure.

Social media is a pox on society.

Ronnie Cheung in one of his standups said that in the future they'll be amazed that they let anybody use the internet, even pregnant women.

Not sure what to feel. I guess I can retire now. I wanted to work a couple more years.

Her job was a mess, my project was an unorganized pile of work. I've been working for long enough now that encountering idiots shouldn't be surprising but it still surprises me on occasion.

Idiots are expected. It's the level of stupidity and lack of personal responsibility that still surprise me.

"Why didn't you look up before crossing the road?"
"Because pedestrians have right of way, duh."

"You knew there was something that could have caused an injury. Why didn't you speak up?"
"Not my job."
"Did you at least tell someone so that they could be the one to get it addressed?"
"No. Their job to have realized there was an issue before me in the first place."

Oh man I got the "not my job" response during my contract, despite it being part of his job. Gotta love government employees.

Anywhere between a 5 and a 9, depending on how much I've been on social media for the day.

It's so hard to just walk away from stuff that I ultimately can't really change, other than voting in the next election, whenever it is.
