Oh man, I’m so sorry about all this! I can’t belive this thing about the therapists! Its always so hard to find a good therapists! It really shouldn’t.

You’re description of not caring enought to buy things on time but caring enough to yell at you really hits the nail on the head when it comes to asswholes in retail.

Christmas should be a good time, but so many people get so stressed. And the whole consumerism side of it is so bad. I wish you can go over it to have peace of mind after it.

I had a horrible year at work. This was the first week of vacation until January. I’ve taken time to think about a new job, fix my CV, and just relax.

This is a great idea! I keep a personal journal, in which I also write about work but not to this level of details.

What I do is to have a repository with experiments and other documentation. For example, when I try new programming languages or libraries, I put it there. When I learn new commands or tricks with commands, I put it there. I sometimes just straight write some documentation about something I did or learn and put it in the repository.

The repository is then highly searchable, and it has been vital for my work life. I’ve been keeping it since school times, so it’s well over a decade old.
