Mon round to mine for Hogmanay big fella.

I've been slacking so there's still 3 cases of prosecco left. I did shit the bed and not replenish the Bailey's which I'm now very much regretting so if you've any of that it would be a welcome gift.

We'll get a 12" munchybox in and the GBX on the Bose in the hot tub. :headbang::headbang::headbang:
 
I am still off work with anxiety and panic attacks. It doesn’t help that my work can’t process a simple sick note as I haven't been paid my sick pay for 3 weeks. I have contacted them every day for 2 weeks and they still cannot get it sorted out :mad:
 
Survived the trip to NL. Was a total clusterfuck with positive tests around me, loads of canceled, rescheduled and canceled again meetings, quarantines etc. Overall, still had a good time seeing my and the GF's family again after 2 years.

Also got my 3rd vaccination yesterday, so hopefully the next month will be nice and quiet.
 
So,

still of work with insomnia and anxiety. Might go back part-time, but even that prospect fills me with dread. I think I should find another job quickly.

apart from that, being very productive with music and design stuff. And watching Netflix :embarrassed:

Good to hear you're at least being somewhat productive in the stuff you like :)

I had to write a report for a COVID compensation related artist grant I received last year. Couldn't help but write a paragraph about how at this moment in time working on stuff that is supposed to be seen by people is about as motivating as doing the dishes....

I mean, I know I'm privileged that I get to do art for a living, but jesus fuck the last two years have been a slog. The constant cycle of nothing-possible, then cramming as much as possible in the short windows of things being possible and working yourself into a burnout only to have the handbrake thrown on out of nowhere again is so exhausting and demotivating.

yeah, i am working on a video design project (charity related), but it is going extremely slow. I struggle to motivate myself to keep working on it.

don’t get me started on the dishes :lol:

Oh nice. I love working for charities/NGO's. I decided to do pretty much all the webdesign work I still do for those. The money is relatively garbage, but at least I get loads of freedom and clients that are absolutely over the moon instead of the normal whiny bastards.

Let me know if you want some feedback :)

And yeah, the dishes... the GF actually bought a dishwasher cause I was getting a bit grumbly about being the only one doing them :embarrassed:

If she's anything like Mrs JBJ you'll still be the only one loading and unloading it :annoyed:

Eh so far so good. I still do it more often, but I'm also the one that spends most time in the kitchen, so in that regard it's not that weird. But yeah, I think I'm going to be the one running it most often, but she does a lot of the other stuff around the house, so all good.
