40 is so young !
So don't worry about getting there some day.
Just get there.

Given that I'll be 71 soon, 40 seems to me no different than 22. It's all relative, of course, and I'm absolutely an, ugh, "senior citizen" with a face that looks like road kill and a body that's totally "after" not "before" although I'm happy I have all original hardware and the wetware still works as it should albeit a little less efficiently than it did a few decades ago.

Now, can you make it so that I'm somehow staying in my 30's rather than turning 40? I'd like that for a birthday present. I really don't think I like the idea of 40 right now.

40 is great. You can let yourself go and start yelling at kids to get the $%#@$ off of your lawn.

I just finished watching an anime "ERASED", it's only 12 episodes, but it was really good, even though I guessed a major plot point from the start.

I really recommend it for anyone who like anime, or murder mystery/time travel type of stories.

My mother took me to lunch for my birthday today. Had Italian. Place called Tuscany. Ravioli.

Happy birthday!

No. I didn't want to say it before because I didn't want to make you feel bad, but the 30's aren't as good as the 40's.

I'm actually looking forward to my 30s, but largely because my 20s were spent in much pain, a lot of agony, and tons of misery. If I can just get a couple more things lined up I'll be off to a great start with my 30s.

I just hope I can get over this depression. I'm so tired of being lonely, of not knowing really how to interact with people and socialize, not being able to get work, and being dependent on my family which only delays my ability to come out live full time (not being able to find work also hinders this).
I did decide though that if on Monday I don't get the DCS job that I'm going to apply for SSI. And considering I have four conditions that are on "the list," in addition to physical work restrictions, I hope I'll be able to get it so I can have some sort of stable income that isn't contingent upon being able to find temporary odd jobs.

When bleeding off air from a hydraulic jack, take care when removing the rubber fill plug.
The escaping air can cover one's snoot in oil.

Duly noted.

I'm going to wait for the last chapter before deciding if I like this story.

Is it wrong to want to defenestrate and fustigate others?

As long as you don't act on the urge.

I used to have delicious fantasies of being mounted on a noble charger dressed in armor with lance lowered charging through the cubicle farm slaying windmill giants and obliterating stupid bureaucratic rules. I never did act on it but it was fun to think about doing so.

It is wrong to not feel that way.
My thoughts run far darker than yours.

But where is the satisfaction and fun of NOT acting on it

But it would be on the 36th floor

Given his posting count, no doubt he has 50 tabs open on RF going from one to the next posting and thus gets a bit confused from time-to-time.

that, and he's getting old. Older by the minute. Soon he's going to be ancient. While the rest of us remain young! Young, I tell you!

I heard that at the Defenestration of Prague, it wasn't so much that they threw them out of the window that was upsetting; it was where they landed...
