2025-02-01 - Entry 25

For some reason my body just refuses to let me sleep for a long enough time. I woke up like 3 times throughout the night and despite that I’m here, awake at 4:00. It’s pretty frustrating just let me sleep!

I had a dream where I was in college or something and I did something bad and got suspended for 24 hours I guess. This other kid who was in the same class got suspended for 48 hours somehow. Me, that kid, and some random girl all took a taxi home together for some reason. Me and random girl got along very well and just talked about things that I can’t remember. The taxi dropped me off at the wrong place and I played a Kirby game and..? Yeah the dream lost all coherency here. It makes me kind of sad when I have dreams where I am out socializing and making friends and stuff. Makes me feel lonely.

Finally working on the music player to fix the last 2 things that need fixing. I’m getting a bunch of errors with the first fix but everything is working as intended so I just ignore it like a good dev :). I got somebody who I was watching stream some stuff on Discord to play one of the Touhou fighting games and they look very fun. If I was good at fighting games I’d give it a try but I have pretty much only ever played Smash Bros.

Why is implementing a marquee with CSS so hard ;-; if I shouldn’t be using the marquee HTML tag maybe don’t make the right way so difficult smh. I have work pretty soon at 14:00. I’m already feeling tired so I’ll probably take a caffeine pill to prevent myself from becoming a walking corpse (at least until later).

I made a huge mistake and forgot to take my caffeine pill before work. I had to drink some coffee to compensate which I think helped. The first notable changes from the new owners at work have appeared. You used to get 50% off on any food items you buy but that’s gone now which is pretty frustrating. Also the new owners are quite paranoid. We have been told we are not allowed to cash ourself out at the register and that any food items have to be paid for immediately and not after we eat. The paranoia is annoying and honestly kind of offensive considering everybody working here has been here for months with many being around for years.

Regardless of their shitty new rules I made myself an omelette on the grill. The new owners never come back in the kitchen and of course when I start eating my omelette one of them comes back in the kitchen and I had to throw out the omelette so that I didn’t get caught. It was annoying but I could just make another one so I did. What follows is the earliest dinner rush I think I have ever seen, starting at maybe 16:30, over an hour and a half earlier than when a rush normally arrives. It really does feel like the world is out to get me sometimes. Was probably the most blatantly angry I have ever been at this job so far. Usually I am pretty good at hiding those emotions.
