Cram Sesh: The Sequel in Current Events

I spent a few hours studying last night. I trained to failure. I studied until I couldn’t study anymore. I had to sleep. I wrote a list of everything from the unit and then made a flashcard for each and reviewed it. Then I used YouTube to explain anything that I needed help with. I have three topics left and they are the hardest but I feel a lot more comfortable with the material now that it makes sense. I still have to do that virtual lab today.

I am not going to make alcohol my vice for this every single time. The wine worked a miracle, however. For this evening, I just had the tiniest bit of my mushroom coffee to get rid of my brain fog. I discovered that I don’t feel so wrecked after my naps if I don’t eat first. Go figure.

I decided to modernize and get a VPN today. I’ll see if I like it. The most cost-effective way was to pay for the whole year. I have 30 days to get my money back if I am not satisfied. I’ll fight with this first and then pick up where I left off with my studying.

This week we are doing one of our big resets. My supervisor is a micro-manager but it hasn’t been so bad. I’m pretty adaptable. I keep ending up in charge of the reset. Everybody knows what they are doing, I just organize them. Got to steelwork with Marcello yesterday which was kind of cute. He really gives me little brother energy. He isn’t too experienced so he got to learn.

My supervisor gets in her head and that becomes our problem. I find myself just trying to calm her down and make her see reason. She gets us to do things that are a waste of time. She gets so short-sighted. We are balancing three seasons in one on the floor. She shot down my suggestion yesterday and it became her big idea today. Oy vey. At least this week is flying by.

My roommate’s oppositional defiance disorder bit her in the ass today. O.D.D. pairs with A.D.H.D. Her ailments always come in two’s. We aren’t allowed to paint the walls in the apartment so she decided that she must paint the walls in the apartment. She painted her room. Our screens in our windows were torn from that massive hailstorm. They came to take them away, we are still waiting for them to be replaced. However, that is when the caretaker took notice. We received a notice today that her room must be painted back by Oct 16th. I was annoyed that she did that. We aren’t allowed pets so she decided to bring a cat home. A cat sitter. We are not allowed to smoke on the balcony but she smokes her bong on her balcony. We received a reminder about the policy on that. That psycho upstairs, my roommate’s weed sets her off. She tried to break into our suite that one time when I was home if we remember that saga. She’s sober now and her husband is back with her. I hope she stays clean.

Anyway, I need to eat and play with this VPN. The main perk that I want is to switch all of my streaming services to the American. I also want to look into getting Hulu.

Oh! We have a change in government in my province. A socialist one, rejoice! Tax, tax and more tax. It’s the first First Nations premiere so everybody is making it a big deal. Honestly, I do want to jump on that bandwagon. I get it. However, I know what this system is. I know who he truly works for and it isn’t us. I want to be wrong. For mental hygiene purposes, I am not paying attention to the controlled narratives. I do know that there is some divisive rhetoric around searching the landfills for missing indigenous women. Our new premier promised to conduct that search. That felt like a stunt. If I had paid attention, I would have known that this was all to get us to vote with our emotionally hijacked hearts instead of our brains which clearly have muscle atrophy. We reached heard stupidity after all.

There is a regular who comes into my work who is 50 decibels too loud and talks to everyone until he sees me. He had one scintillating conversation with me and now he comes to me to talk about politics. His hat has Che Guevara on it so I know what his politics are which is fine. He’s old and out of touch like most people his age but likes my 2 cents. 2 cents is all I can give him at work. I’m not there for entertainment purposes. Noel calls him my boyfriend. He’s not a full complicity theorist at least. He thinks it is sick that the government is allowing gender-affirming care for children.

Aman, another coworker, started talking to me about the holistic clinic I want to open one day. She was a pharmacist in India, now she just does merchandising with us. Claudia was working with us and we got into politics. They can’t vote because they’re just permanent residents but Claudia stated that it was my fault we got a socialist government because I refused to vote. They got a majority. Claudia is from Columbia, we taught Aman all about Venezuela and Cuba and the real threat of socialism. I digress! Aman, all week, has had ailments which I had remedies for that worked. We talked about Terrain Theory. Most people haven’t heard of it. She sees exactly what Big Pharma is which is why she isn’t a pharmacist anymore. The conversation helped me feel better about the path I am on regarding school.
