Couch 221: Definitely Spam!

Just logged off work, I am off now until Sunday! Woo hoo! Well, except for class tonight. I am sorely tempted to not attend.... but of course I will anyway.

Currently listening to an LCSW/former therapist lecture the faculty Senate at my school on self-care.

She’s also the director of our HR. Not really the career ex-therapists go into, or is it?

My cousin got her degree in psychology from Berkley but never did the grad programs or became a therapist. Instead she worked in HR and now she does some sort of marketing/consulting making ridiculous money. I don't know how she sorted out that scheme. Go figure.

I think i got mine from what is CB? Im blanking. But it was quite a while ago. I wanted cotton and feathers. Its still pretty sturdy, i just beat it up from bottom to top once in a while.

There are some switch games discounted now:

Right now I am playing Tumble Stone and enjoying it - a match 3 sort of game

What? Why? Are they torturing you for some reason?

The faculty have been complaining that all the focus is on taking care of the students and not enough on taking care of the faculty. So this was the administration's solution.

Of course, she also said she was telling us about self-care so we could take care of the students...

Thinking through my fingers here..... I'm sitting here trying to talk myself into going to class tonight. At this point the only thing keeping me in it is the fact that I paid for it, because I really don't think I'm going to pursue a Psych degree any longer, now that I've come to understand the rather faulty reasoning behind why I was doing it in the first place. I still enjoy learning, and will probably still take classes, but just for the joy of learning and not for purposes of obtaining another degree. Like taking more writing courses, the next astronomy course, and the next geology course.

Then I tell myself it would be dumb to quit now, with only 18 days until our final paper is due. I mean for pete's sake, I'm like 98% certain I'm not going to pursue this degree any farther, so it's not like I have to continue putting as much time and effort into this class as I have been!! All we have left is 5 more discussion posts/responses and our final paper. I can do it with minimal effort so as to rest my shoulder as much as possible.


H is right, dammit! I am wishy-washy. I need to stop being like that. I need to just buck up and finish the class, that way it's done and I won't have to take it again on the off-chance the other 2% happens and I decide to transfer to the local university and continue.


So happy that I have the next 5 days off work. I'm planning on staying off my computer after tonight's class and getting some crocheting done. And cooking. Gonna break out the cookbooks, and cook at least one meal I've never cooked before. Should be fun!

On your deathbed, you want to regret what you did, not regret what you didnt do.

OTOH, if you wait until your old enough, you wont remember which is which.

Well ya know - this DOES all fit in with regretting something that I did.....

Just heard that our county has been placed under a voluntary curfew from 10pm to 5am. What? Voluntary curfew? Seems to me that's already happening anyway.

Not for the people going out to bars and restaurants.

It really cheeses me off schools are closed but not bars and restaurants--which appear to be far more efficient disease vectors than primary schools at least.

Have to say, voluntary curfew is an oxymoron.

Yes, that's the word I was looking for. I've been awake since 2 am so I'm not thinking to clearly at the moment...

Our state doesn't have a curfew per se, but bars and restaurants now have to close at 10 pm (can still do carryout/deliver after that, just in-person service).

Do tell.

Is he (or she) a good one? How'd you meet?

Mmm, cheese...

I had the same thought.

That’s what cheese said!

Anything you can do, I can do feta!

(Except gaseous emissions and hoarding.)

i had to go back and figure out why y'all are talking about cheese!

i think i pissed off my prof tonight. i kept asking a question about what was expected in tonight's discussion and she kept answering it without answering it and i kept asking it again. i even typed in our chat that i didn't understand and "Artie=lost" which was quickly followed by 4 of my classmates typing "same" right in a row. i wonder if she was enjoying an early thanksgiving cocktail or two tonight. urgh. and she let us go two and a half hours EARLY!! oh i am SO over this class.



I realized tonight that I have been putting WAY too much pressure on myself this semester. I almost broke down and cried tonight when she kept not answering my question and I'm so tired I just got ****ing bullheaded and refused to stop asking.
