Something about a jack of all trades and master of none

So I should be really good at fitting those things together, but can't quite seem to stick the landing. As it were.

Cant decide. Masterbate, watch tv, or mow the yard. Did it all at once. Now too much free time

I know these are just Cannibal Corpse lyrics, just not sure which song?

 

[CannibalCricket]

Mastered what?

It was a masterbation joke

Oh I thought you were talking about tapped sweeps.

 

[CannibalCricket]

Or maybe it was all good things come to those who wait?

I had a job interview today On one hand, I know a lot of skill, or as my wife says I'm out here doing side quests IRL. I know enough shit that I can fake it till I make it in damn near any blue collar job other than electrician.

On the flip side...

I'm tired of living in an apartment. I don't need sq ft, just tired of sharing a building with people. I'd "settle" for a detached studio lol.

Got news at work today that our employer is stripping down most of their operation with our client and that includes my department. In worst case, I get booted right away. In best case, I sign up with the client but get booted in the first evaluation (or whatever you call it) next year.

Last Saturday I ordered a Mesa Badlander 100 head. It was supposed to be delivered today although it's been sitting in an Indiana FedEx location since 8am Wednesday morning. It's still there with no recent updates. Tracking went from eta 9am-1pm, to end of day, to "on its way" and then "We'll add a delivery date as soon as your package starts moving."

C'mon now. I feel some first world fury brewing that's making me want to rage cancel the order if there's no real update to tracking tomorrow. Before placing the order, I finally sold my Mark V and Dual Recto that have been sitting unused in a closet for years. I felt good about downsizing only for some nice shipping delays. Luckily, I kept my trusty single Recto.

I'll probably let the annoyance of delayed shipping run its course because a rage cancel is really unnecessary... The thought had to get Mr. FedEx a little worried though, right?

every book i look for on libby is on hold with like 2 people already in queue. This town is literally the armpit of the greater Seattle area, where did all these fucking book readers come from

So, I'm trying to start a youtube channel. I know nobody's probably gonna watch it, but it'll be fun and keep me busy so I can't drink as much. I'm a supernatural and mythology fan, but instead of doing the big ones I'm gonna start with Texas cryptids. I picked one because there's a local fan I saw in one of the articles that has a dope ass Goatman costume. The main legend behind the Goatman is the Klan couldn't stand the audacity of an African American farmer being successful. And some how the Klan lynching a dude and burning his family isn't the worst legend about it. On one hand, I feel like Slipknot was right when they wrote People = Shit, on the other, I feel like people need to be aware of history so it doesn't happen again.

Also, considering I'm trying to tell a story where one of the lighter things is the Klan lynching someone, is African American still okay? Or is there a better term I could use?

Just spent like an hour pulling apart my old 2x12 and transferring the speakers into the Emperor/testing it. I get that manufacturers want to make sure stuff is secure but I don't think you need like 20 fucking screws to hold the back onto a 4x12

On this, I dunno. Forget where, but an IR maker was talking about any air leak would change a resonante frequency, etc. Closed back should be air tight, is the point.

I tweaked my lower back big time late last week

It hurts to stand.
It hurts to sit
It hurts to lay down.

I have become suffering incarnate.

On the plus side you've got a decent start to some death metal lyrics.

Went for a walk for the first time since like... forever (read: 2-3 years). My ankles started hurting like hell before I even finished the first mile so I just ended up doing 2 miles or so.

On the bright side, I didn't feel out of breath at all so quitting daily smoking/vaping has shown some benefit at least.

Selling my whole amp rig, again. For financial reasons, again.
