Okay, so maybe I didn’t miscalculate my dates.<\/p>\n
One more day of this, then I’m finished. Not 30 entries, but there’s 31 days in these summer months.<\/p>\n
I am getting into the kick of writing, but I’m finding reasons not to, too.<\/p>\n
Sticking with it, well, that’s just what I do.<\/p>\n
Taking things back, though, and I’m going to actually edit this from what I’d originally recorded in my diary.<\/p>\n
I have edited the names here, with people other than me replaced by numbers.<\/p>\n
Conversation from IRC, over an ad on craigslist looking for a roommate\u2026.names changed to protect the guilty\u2026.<\/p>\n

Notice the tag here is, “everything gets deleted, eventually.”\u00a0 Maybe it doesn’t, though?<\/p>\n
One of the podcasts I routinely listen to regularly has been hitting on lately is about how people’s memories of things change over time.<\/p>\n
They do, certainly, but I think, maybe, keeping track of what you’re thinking and doing helps clarify things for later?<\/p>\n
I’ve really taken it in the shorts over the past five years on top of being sick.\u00a0 Maybe what I’ve written will bring back clearer memories.<\/p>\n
But, as I said the other day, I think I’d started doing these summer periods because I was so fucking miserable with my situation.<\/p>\n
When I did this last year, I was about to start my next round in hell.\u00a0 Perhaps I should say that I regret going back there;\u00a0 I should have learned my lesson the first time.<\/p>\n
But, no, I did what I did because it was the right thing to do for our situation.\u00a0 Things have changed.<\/p>\n
Speaking of that, reading back through that exchange, “a——” is a pretty sizable staffing firm.\u00a0 So this was from August 2006, and sorta signified the start of the “gig economy” that was so widely-panned in the 2016 election.<\/p>\n
My understanding of it was a bit misguided, thinking that they were only working two days per month, and were focused on selling Microsoft’s products.<\/p>\n
I didn’t take into account the price of benefits.\u00a0 I wonder if someone would do the math on that compared to now to see what the difference is.\u00a0 Big companies are looking to peddle labor with a minimum of government meddling.\u00a0 So government just puts things that further discourage companies from hiring anybody full-time.<\/p>\n
*shrug*<\/p>\n
Free-write tomorrow to close things out.\u00a0 My head is pretty clear, even if my vision isn’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
