Drinking with Skeletons

11.6.2025

Pretty good week this week. Good news for a change politically this week which is excellent. Mamdani getting elected is pretty great along with more left leaning candidates all over the country. Makes me feel hopeful.

Work's been good too. This week I was asked to step in and help show a project that I've been working on in front of executives because the guy that was supposed to do it had to leave for a bit which is crazy that they trusted me enough for that considering I've been there for 3 months and am just a contractor. I ended up not having to do it because the guy came back lol but I think it's a good sign. They really fuck with me here. I've honestly never felt more appreciated at a job before. It's really nice and I hope they extend my contract (or even better.. hire me full time!)

I'm back at my old rock climbing gym because they had a really good deal going on where I get 20% off my membership for as long as I have it. I kinda missed it because their bouldering is much better than the place I was going to over the summer but getting there kinda sucks and I lowkey hate the clientele. Last weekend when I was there, someone was trying to run sprints behind me in the narrow weightlifting section while I was doing my exercises and someone was just letting their baby crawl on the mats right under the wall. Really insane vibes.

Been playing a lot of Simpsons Fortnite this week and also helping a friend get into Street Fighter 6. We were screensharing the other night and he was mashing a lot so I was trying to give my best advice and tips. Usually I'm the one looking out for that kind of thing so it was a little weird to be on that side for a change. I hope he sticks with it.

Tomorrow night I'm seeing a metalcore band with a childhood friend I reconnected with. Should be fun! I haven't been to a metal show in ages. Besides that, November's looking pretty quiet which is solely needed before the holidays. I'm ready to get cozy and relax!!!!
