Another Update on Life
Thursday 15 May 2025
I read through An Update on life, which I wrote almost exactly 3 years ago. It's quite depressing going through it and seeing a lot of issues I was facing there being mirrored now.
In terms of meatspace, it's once again too hot. Looking through the work talk back then, I started a new job about a month after that. I'm working for a great company that genuinely cares about helping people, and what it does. unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to be there much longer. I don't have a passion for ServiceNow, and that's all I work with. I'd quite like to go back to a more general IT job.
I've also adopted a cat since then. Her name is Fae, her birthday is October 15th, and I adopted her on January 05th 2024.
In terms of thinkspace, while I've been in better places since the previous post, I am once again in a bad one. I started spiralling after having some dental issues, and while they're dealt with [for now], I very obviously haven't been taking care of myself very well. This is also apparent from the state of the flat. I'm not hoovering enough, or taking out the bins often enough.
I'm currently on my fourth week off work for mental health reasons, and I'm not sure if I'm going to go back at all, but at the same time that means I need to find something else quickly. I just want something easy, or with low responsibility. I feel like my current job has way more stressors than it needs to have given what I'm doing. I felt calmer when I was doing tech support for the NHS, which sounds WILD to say.
Anyway, after all this time I'd like to come back to this, and I'd like to try being a bit more consistent with my online presence. Considering how much time I spend on the internet, it's wild that I don't really have one. That's partially on purpose, but I think that isn't doing me any favours. Here's to a change in my operating model.
