What’s on your mind?

What's on my mind I cannot say here but I am furious and nervous.

I think I can empathise. Many of us are thinking about this I’m sure!


I’ve been busy making use of some free time today to sort out items from a trade show I was at. When my free electricity period ends at three I’ll run it to the office to get rid. Then I can have my car back to use for my week off. Bliss……

Been enjoying my time in the Canary Islands:

I haven't been in the Community section since before finals, but that's all done with (results have been good!) and now it's time for summer adventures. Planning on spending a decent amount of time in Europe this year.

What a gorgeous place! Looks so peaceful and like an interesting place to explore...... Enjoy! You've worked hard this year in school, definitely time for a relaxing break!

Congratulations on a good end to the year, @VisceralRealist! I also managed a strong finish. And looks like a nice vacation, too. I had some travel planned this summer, but I ended up getting completely booked for all of July and August with shows, teaching engagements, and video projects. Still holding out hope that in those last couple weeks I may be able to do something, but at this point it's about to be too late to book any travel.

Watching this video about people who got fired because of bad social media posts (mainly TikToks), and I'm either laughing or shaking my head in disbelief. It's 20 minutes long, and I'm only able to watch it in about 2 minute increments because it's just so bad what people are doing. And you know the worst part? THESE PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED THAT THIS HAPPENED. And then what do they do? They make a TikTok video about getting fired!

Also, have my annual physical exam tomorrow. Should be fine. Otherwise no major health issues (unlike last year). I will need to have a 1-year post-op appointment in August for my thing last year, but I'm not worried about that at all.

SO FAR... this summer has been better than the last one. Hope that lasts. Meeting with a client tomorrow after my appointment.

Sorry but I have to laugh at this. If someone is fired because of a political or social stance I can sympathise but not Tik Tok Twerking.

And that is why you don’t go on social media. Especially using your real name. Muppets…..

My birthday is coming up. I've come a long way from how I was last year, I've got over some real nasty situations and I am looking forward now. Live and learn, I suppose. Anxiety is a real issue I struggle with, but I am doing my best to overcome it. A lot of my problems are in my head.

I've attempted to develop some healthier habits, having coffee in the mornings, trying to do regular work outs. I don't need to be jacked or anything like that, just want to build myself up a bit.

Alright, I though this was amazing and unexpected. As the nurse was checking me out this morning, he asked what kind of music I like. I mentioned that John Oswald record "Plexure" where he took a bunch of 80s music and layered it, reversed it, etc. A very experimental/avant-garde style. And the nurse actually knew that record. I wouldn't think ANYONE outside very specific music circles would know of John Oswald, let alone that record. Thought that was pretty cool, and glad other people know about it! One of my all-time favorites.

A member who seems to have cancelled his account. BigMcGuire always made interesting and useful comments. Earlier this summer he took a couple of very short breaks but kept his account. Now it says cancelled. Too bad.

I hadn’t noticed this but what a shame, a nice guy and a great contributor, especially to the EV thread. Does ‘cancelled’ mean the account can’t be reactivated?

I really appreciate your kind words - they mean a lot to me. Macrumors was nice and let me re-activate. I needed a bit of time away from everything (almost 2 years!) to set my life back on track. Still alive and very thankful.

Hope y'all are doing well. Nice to see familiar faces (accounts). Looking forward to enjoying your posts and pictures like before!

I had a bad reaction to a vaccine I received yesterday. Been going on for the better part of 24 hours now. Not bad enough to go to the emergency room, but definitely not good. I'm a little better now, but not out of the woods yet. I'm going to call the office first thing tomorrow morning. Thank goodness I am not working or performing this week, I am in no shape to.

Ouch, take care and don't hesitate to get medical help if needed. Sending positive wishes.

A bite on my leg. Not pleasant. That’s my second one this year.

Ouch.

Very unpleasant.

As winged menaces seem to love me, I find citronella very good and useful in repelling them.

While I sometimes use it neat (as an essential oil, which I know I shouldn't but needs must), most of the time, I use either a cream or spray from the excellent British company Alfresco (their products are totally natural).

Of course, that applies to my time abroad; at home, I will often forget to remember to apply this stuff, thinking that it is not necessary.

Oh and work. Thursday on my week off and I already find my mind on the mountain of work I’ll have to do when I get back.

Enjoy your break, and try to put work out of your mind until you return.
