how's your week going, Beehaw
(beehaw.org)
.
I've been trying to pull myself out of a depressive episode. No luck yet.
My wife is having cardiac surgery right now, I am staying at a hotel near the hospital, working remotely, trying to keep busy and not think about it too much.
Fingers crossed that she's going to be well.
Back home now, all seems OK 🫰 Thanks...
Yay!
There has been a lil bad and a decent amount of good this week so far
My job's treating us poorly even though we're making the company massive profits in the millions. I would like to leave but I think I've been in this dead end position too long. I might need to re skill but I have no idea what I would like/what would pay enough.
The weekend was busy but a lot of fun. Got to go to my first anime convention. Only went for one day when I could have easily gone for the whole weekend. Next year I'll do that. It was nice because I haven't gone to any events like that for probably about 5 years or so. Usually I'm not tired at night but both Saturday and Sunday night I fell asleep right away which was kind of nice for a change.
I don't know what kind of jobs your in and how your job market is right now, but it never hurts to take a look at your resume and maybe look around for other jobs while still in the "comfort" of a paying job.
Glad to hear you visited a social gathering and enjoyed it. I've had some social experiences recently which have given me some positivity in my life and I am glad to see you have too.
Do you watch anime too, by chance? If so, may I ask which one(s)?
Currently things are a bit iffy for me. I originally went to school for web development, but from what I have seen it seems like people want a "unicorn developer" that can do everything.
I've still sent my resume out to a few places where I thought I could still fit or make it work but I haven't gotten any replies back yet. I'm currently in a role that doesn't use those skills but is much more teaching focused. I provide technical support with a program/tool that was made by the company I work for. So that knowledge can kind of carry over to other areas, but it's more soft skills if that makes sense.
But yeah it was a very mentally refreshing experience to go to a convention! I've watched a variety of things, probably too many to list. But some of my Favorites have been Soul Eater, Air Gear, Naruto, Steins Gate, JoJo's Bizarre adventure, all of Studio Ghibli's catalogue
Gonna be going to climb Mount Fuji in 2 days. Super excited about it and looking forward to some time off work
I recently heard a radio feature about it, they have problems with it being overrun by tourists, people not being prepared (it's a mountain, not a walk in the park) and leaving their trash everywhere +_+ So please take care! And enjoy it must be an amazing trip ^^
Actually not as many people as I expected when I went. I know it's not a walk in the park haha I been living in Japan for 4 years and hiker many other mountains just never had the time to go to Fuji because it's pretty far from me where I am located in Japan. The hike itself was a lot easier than I expected and there's so so so many rests stop with drinks and foods that even people not in shape could probably hike it. Definitely enjoyed every bit of it and wish I could go do it again.
That's interesting, the article I read made it sound like it was a serious hike (but I guess "easy" and "hard" will mean very different things to different people). I'm glad you enjoyed it, it seems like a really cool thing to do ^__^

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
