Massive work-life conflict is on the rampage with me, even eating an Apple is complicated nowadays. I really wish my actions would not have such deep long lasting impact all the time. It’s like I can’t afford to make a single strategic error in work or play.
Holidays are hard work
Work is hard work
Love is hard work
Working long hours hardly makes me better it just gives me more alone time.
So in under 15 years, I’ll be retired…but what does that look like?
Too young to retire, too old to start again
Will I have to depend on someone to care for me physically and financially?
Outside of being insured up to the eyeballs, there are things I tend to avoid thinking about and planning for.
You would think that I would have learned by now.
Personal disaster recover planning:
physical injury, economic injury, emotional injury
Separations or Divorce planning:
Not always till Death do us Part
Last Will & Testament: But I have no money
Relocation planning: I really hate moving
Burial plan: what does it matter, I’m dead anyway
Data recovery plan: We assume the info will be somewhere
Friend and Family communication plan:
we assume we will find them on Social Media
Family Password sharing:
who has the NetFlix password or the British Gas log-in?
No mobile, no money, no place to sleep.
No one is immune. Following a personal disaster, we are on our own for an unknown period of time and typically the massive emotion trauma, loss of communications, and poor access to resources can set you back for years and for some it is unrecoverable.
I kinda have this info together but nuff information is only in my head buried and unreachable by others.
You have to be in a “good” place mentally to start working out a strategy to handle DMD and I’m far for that right now.
…to be continued by 22-October.
Way too much personal conflict going. I see the traits clearly.
Lateness at work
Unscheduled days off
Emergency time off
Excessive use of personal phone
Difficulty concentrating on InfoSec technical detail.
Horizon Zero Dawn is an absolutely beautiful game and so far I’m enjoying it hands down. But something is missing.
Beautiful game but I miss gore and guts
It’s an ERSB rating Teen that means no blood and guts.
Now I’m on the hunt for something to fill the gap.
A survival horror may be too much right now….I need something where I’m the aggressor. Actually, just something high octane will be good enough.
Here’s what to look for before letting your kid play a game.

Alcohol and Tobacco Reference, Blood, Mild Language, Mild Sexual Themes, Violence.

May include prolonged scenes of intense violence, graphic sexual content and gambling with real currency with a focus on depictions of blood and the realistic mutilation of body parts.
Today was a full on Blitz taking up all my emotional space. I’m feeling overwhelmed and empty with the urge to give up or run away.
Supporting others is draining but I’m fairly good at it. Zero medication today.
It’s a Monday so maybe they were just saving it up for me.
On a different topic, ever notice how some people put all their data on a single SmartPhone that is not fully backed up?
It’s like the Filofax era……lose the device and you are screwed.
Or even more likely, the device fails or is breached.
Why keep 5000 emails on your device?
People just haven’t got the time or the interest in taking care of basic personal system administration tasks like email clean up or password management.
Nowadays, you can’t walk two minutes without someone or something taking your picture.

Instead of snappy away, I prefer to savor the moments in my mind.
Games are a different matter though and I simply had to share the Eye Candy of Horizon.
With only 10 minutes gameplay, Horizon Zero Dawn™ is clearly a top grade experience worthy of all the hype. I’m not really prepared for this game but the Father daughter intro walks you through the control system seamlessly.
Next 14 days will be rough so this is just the distraction I need to cope with “real” life.
