Whats your mood?

12-16? Pfft, that's coat-2nd layer weather for me! I generally avoid going outside until May ^_^'

I may have been a little hasty praising deliveries here. Replacement car mirror was meant to arrive yesterday at the latest

I can see where it's coming from lol. I meant times, 12:00 to 16:00 or 12am to 4pm, when the sun is the highest! You are right in that 12°C is a bit chilly, I find 16°C comfortable and up to 20-22°C. Nowadays it goes to 25-28°C here which is quite a lot for me!
If your speaking Farenheit though I admit 12°F must be reallyyy cold.

Hope you get your mirror soon. Did you get into an accident?

Oh lol, right, that makes more sense 25C is quite toasty, yes, but as long as I don't have to do anything strenuous, I don't mind it~ I'm definitely not talking in Fahrenheit - I have no concept of that scale.

And yes, the mirror actually arrived a couple of hours after my post ^_^' Technically it was an accident... I held the hot air dryer thing pointed at the mirror for too long, and the glass itself came unstuck and shattered. £8.50 fix.

Good, me neither!

It's actually nice that you received it, pretty sure in most places you can't drive with a broken mirror, and it wouldn't be safe anyway. Enjoy driving!

Yeah, it wouldn't be legal here either, but I've done it before when someone broke off my other mirror (by hand >.>). There isn't a lot of police on the roads here.

I feel pretty desolate right now to be honest. A whole lot of bad news on all fronts.

Eeeee? That doesn't sound good. What's happened, Loko-san? :c

Oh not me. I'm hoping these protests inspire change is all. I feel like we can't nor should we go back to the normal we were feeling before George Floyd.

Yeah... God. It's chilling to think that this is the nightmare we live in. First I saw Nat'l Guard and Police marching through a neighborhood and just shooting people watching them from their porches. Next there was a clip on Twitter of a harmless guy getting pepper sprayed, then shot in the face at point-blank with a tear gas grenade. Probably knocked a bunch of teeth out. But then... Fucking hell, just now I saw a clip of a grandmother (black, obviously), who was unfortunate enough to have a tear gas grenade embedded in her skull. Half her cranium had caved in, like a bowl of gore. It was FUCKED. UP. man, like shit you'd see in war zones halfway across the world. What the hell is happening here, man?! Fuck!

As you can tell, I'm barely holding it together. After my mom lost her job, I'm the only one supporting our family. But since the economy's in shambles, I've made sure to give one-hundred-ten percent at work every day to make sure I don't get the axe. Almost makes you forget there's a global pandemic going on, right? Heheheh. It's funny, someone asked me how the quarantine was treating me, to which I replied, "Well, you know how in SEL, a certain character collects computing machines in her room and slowly drifts into insanity? Pretty much that."

Anyways, thanks for giving me a chance to vent. Take care out there, Loko-san. We're all in this together.

You know, I feel a lot better after putting my thoughts to paper last night. I'm sorry for anyone who witnessed that; I think I'll keep a journal from now on.

Now, then. This day will never come again. Let's all make the most of it, okay? ^_^

Don't worry, hun~ The way I see it, your post might make good material for historians of the future ^~^

As tired as I can be

If I had to guess? Probably fatigued from the prevailing news cycle~. So much bad stuff keeps happening, that it's easy to get swept up in current. I even talked to my therapist about it.

Stay strong, Laifot-chan. Things will get better soon, I promise. Do you think it would help to cut down on how much time you read about news? ^_^

I'm so mad right now, boss refused my holidays for August without prior notice, and we are forbidden to take holidays until September, which is the end of my contract...
I just wanted to go back and see my family.

Lolwut? We're being forced to take holiday!

Yeah, I guess my industry is not so affected by the COVID-19, and since they didn't manage their time/deadlines well it falls back on us.

I know the feel, DMM-san~. Though at least both of us are getting paid. What do you do for work, buttercup?

I do software development, full stack apparently. You?

Had to look up "buttercup" and it's not at all what I expected!

A fairy name as a storm called "Fay" is coming to the Eastern Seaboard, and I haven't even paid much attention to it recently, how concerning.

For you, it means that you were "endeared" and "loved", but such a saying like that also translates to being called "cute". Other words like "love", "sweetheart", and "friend", are just part of the typical "lovey-dovey" archetype that doesn't break.
