Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Nine, Dateline 8-27-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s amazing how it feels like the more rest that you get, the more you want to sleep, at least that often seems to be the case with me. I planned to do a lot of work over the weekend since my day job is offering up over time but that plan didn’t last all that long thanks to the fact that my work’s system crashed midday Friday and there was apparently nobody there to fix the problem over the weekend.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Eight, Dateline 8-26-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Sunday, and I have company on their way over, so I’m just going to jump right into yesterday’s assignment where I was supposed to explain the physical signs to my anger as the Achieve Anything… book continues its anger management theme. This is something I’m pretty aware of because I’ve been passively trying to deal with the issued for decades.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Seven, Dateline 8-25-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night I partook of the second of the two high potency edibles that I bought on my last payday that I planned to use to truly test the comfort level of my new adjustable bed frame. I ate the first one last week while the bed was on order, and I just wanted to force myself into a break. I can’t believe that there are laws against something so natural and has the potential to do so much good.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Six, Dateline 8-24-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. I can’t believe it’s already Friday again, it seems like it was just yesterday that I was excited about it being another weekend allowing me time to take a break. I really need to do some relaxation time this weekend because I’m feeling burnt out from maxing out the hours I’m allowed to work in a week. I know that many people will roll their eyes at these claims of exhaustion considering this maxed out time is only thirty hours a week but you have to remember that I put three to five hours into this blog seven days a week.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Five, Dateline 8-23-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-five of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday, I received my the new bed frame that I ordered as my effort to settle into my living space to make my stay on this earth a little more comfortable while I continue to figure out how to make a legitimate living on my own term. This is one of those bed frames with a remote that allows you to raise and lower your feet and head, giving you options for how to lie in bed.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Four, Dateline 8-22-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. Though I loved the impromptu time off the came from the day job’s servers being down, I decided that I’d put in the extra work to make up for the time off. Yesterday, I tested the water and worked the maximum six-hour day that the job allows. For the longest time, I was sticking to the four hour minimum because the management for this team is so flaky I feared that the more that I worked, the more likely more likely I’d make a mistake that would get me fired.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Three, Dateline 8-21-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-three of Operation Achieve Anything. I always find it interesting how everyone loves to advise people to just be themselves to get people to like them only to go on and explain how you need to be positive and confident as well.  What does this mean for neurotic people like me whose insecurities stem from their core to where “just being yourself,” can tend to push people away?

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Two, Dateline 8-20-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. Today’s post is going to be an interesting one that’s going to take a bit of time as I have to list one-hundred things that I am thankful for. I’m just going to jump right into the task because; One) it’s hard to create a list of a hundred of anything and Two) as a bit of a nihilist, in the middle of an existential crisis, it’s hard to feel genuinely thankful while still coping with so much loss.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-One, Dateline 8-19-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-one of Operation Achieve Anything. Sorry, this post might be a little scattered and quick because my heads still a little loopy from the events from last night that following the partaking of a powerful payday edible. It cracks me up how something so natural gets treated like such an evil drug. Meanwhile, when I go overboard with my medical marijuana to celebrate the weekend, I feel a closer connection to the Earth as I tune into nature documentaries and get lost in fantasy, as opposed to when I hit the bottle too hard and get all surly and filled with self-hate.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty, Dateline 8-18-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Saturday, so I’m going to make it a quick one in order to get to enjoying my day off. Yesterday turned out to be a surprise half day when my job’s server that assigns our tasks went down for the day. I think that might be why I’m in a bit more of a vacation mood than usual, but that’s okay, I’m allowed to take breaks on the weekend.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Nine, Dateline 8-17-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Here we are on yet another Friday, a payday Friday, meaning the next several days will be super fun as I go on my monthly payday shopping spree that gets followed by a week of Christmas as my purchases trickle in through the mail.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Eight, Dateline 8-16-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. Though I know it's not the case, it really does feel like the world is working against me at times, but not through big-picture problems, instead, the planet seems to be driving me crazy with tiny things that stack up and make me feel like I'm losing my mind. To make things worse, my mind isn't all that stable in the first place which is the "gift from God" that nobody likes to talk about.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Seven, Dateline 8-15-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. I find it a little interesting that things seem to be stabilizing to where I'm back to a state of equilibrium, not too high, not too low, in time for this middle of the week post. The sense of mania that started to set in over the weekend has already turned into a quick bout of depression and now here I sit, trying my best to be as emotionless as possible.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Six, Dateline 8-14-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. It's amazing how quickly following a confidence boost, the world has a way of putting me back in my place only with a touch more doubt than before. As I just started to point out on Friday, the traffic to my site has been growing to the point where it's tripled over the past couple of months. At first, I just kept this to myself thinking the boost was some kind of anomaly that would go away if I made mention of it.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Five, Dateline 8-13-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-five of Operation Achieve Anything. This turned out to be a rollercoaster of a weekend without even having to move from my seat. It started Friday when I realized that I had officially worked through the issue that I was having with my day job to where I no longer felt a slight urge to quit if that wouldn't mean I'd have to look for different paid work.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Four, Dateline 8-12-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. I really need to stop this new trend of drinking every weekend that I started back when I landed my day job. It's not that I think that it's growing to be a problem addiction wise or anything like that, it just makes one day really fun and the next on the next day I struggle to get anything done at all. I guess, psychologically, this might just be my way of forcing myself to take a break in order to avoid burning out.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Three, Dateline 8-11-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-three of Operation Achieve Anything. It's five in the morning, I can't get back to sleep so I figure why not just get to work on my blogging obligations in order to get everything done early, freeing up the rest of the day for some fun. Granted that fun will probably be getting ahead of my SNL reviews to rebuild my backlog so that I can get back to the point where I'm at least one review ahead of my daily deadline.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-Two, Dateline 8-10-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. I think this might be the first Friday in months that I didn't feel like I was on the verge of quitting my day job while in a blind rage over their mind game. I think I said this earlier in the week but, right after last Friday's Daily Breaker post, my work sent out a mass email clarifying that the accuracy rate that could lead to our firing is base on periodic tests and not for our daily audits. This information eased my nerves instantly leading this work week to seem like a breeze.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty-One, Dateline 8-9-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty-one of Operation Achieve Anything. This has been an exciting past couple of weeks where not only has the traffic to this site more than doubled, these new numbers seem here to stay. Though I'm not fully sure if this traffic is made up of returning readers it's beginning to feel like I've leveled up.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Twenty, Dateline 8-8-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-twenty of Operation Achieve Anything. Here we go with another day where the oppressive heat continues to make life feel exponentially cyclical and mundane. Where when it's cold outside, I'm able to casually get through my day with ease as I comfortably sit in a hoodie and shorts focused on the task at hand, and not constantly plotting pool breaks to get relief from the oven that is my windowless garage/room.
