Ten years younger would make me 61

Since starting working full time, I’ve been getting up pretty early even on weekends. Well, now that I think about it again, this is my second weekend since real full-time work commenced. Lol.

Knocked off work yesterday a bit late. Partly because I came in late in the morning (almost everyday, sigh), but partly because I wanted to finish what I was doing. But I gave up in the end. It had something to do with some return type of Feathersjs’s hooks. I learnt my lesson before, that it’s better to give up sometimes. Even if I did make that work yesterday, I wouldn’t have really learnt anything. With the time clocking, and me wanting to ‘just get it wokring’, I’m just trying different things, just stabbing in the dark. If it works, what do I get? Nothing.

Hey, been a while. I read a good paragraph:

I’m not in a contest with anybody, have no thoughts about immortality, don’t give a damn about it. It’s the ACTION while you’re alive. The gate springing open in the sunlight, the horses plunging through the light, all the jocks, brave little devils in their bright silks, going for it, doing it. The glory is in the motion and the dare. Death be damned. It’s today and today and today. Yes.

All right, you tell me something useful. Be a lawyer? A doctor? A congressman? That’s crap too. They think it isn’t crap but it is. They are locked into a system and they can’t get out. And almost everybody is not very good at what they do. It doesn’t matter, they are in the safe cocoon.
