Tiny Complaints

Superfluous words in academic journal articles that make it more confusing to read AND leave less space for real information and explanations.

Pilot appears not to be sleeping here tonight. But he didn’t sleep here last night. It’s like he thinks he can spend 3 nights a week at his home like he doesn’t even live here. Obviously :lion: and I are fierce and independent and don’t need him here to sleep. But since when is working until midnight multiple nights in a row, a reason to not come over for cuddles? Also, how are we supposed to survive the windchill if he isn’t in the bed place closest to the window?

There are no commercial breaks in netflix jeopardy…I can’t do this kind of intense sport with no commercials. Also I’ll neglect my child. I may need to ration episodes

In the general class of “people who had/have TVs and/or economic opportunities” yes. As a xennial I have lumped you in that category

last week I finally bought the VTI share that I’d been meaning to do for a while, as the value increase kept getting ahead of my available cash from dividend payouts, and it was very difficult because it was so much more than my prior purchases. And then today, fall down go boom.

Sometimes I look to help me practice and get more comfortable with swings. The shadowy one is buying on the way down because we have been DCAing a lump sum, and we had agreed on a certain amount on a weekly basis, and a similar amount after a certain percentage drop.

My complaint today is that I can’t find a fit for a really great candidate and I won’t be able to bring her on to my team.

I am studiously ignoring this crash. I usually only look at the end of each month but I’m scared to, now. I know swings are going to happen but downturns make me feel like I’m scrimping and saving for nothing and that I should just keep cash under the mattress.

I’m just trying to remember that this drop is less than the last 2 months of growth so far…

The company I interviewed with in KS messed up and my card got charged for the hotel and car rental. Tiny because it’ll get fixed and I won’t have to pay, complaint because I had to talk to people to get it fixed.

I’m tired and a lot is going on at work and I am not at ALL in the mood to leave the office in 45 minutes and go to therapy and try and work on my shit. I just don’t have the brain for it right now.

I have now checked the markets. Oops! Trying to think of this as hopefully buying stocks on sale on Friday when my paycheck pops through…
