Counting to 1,000,000

I'm one of those people where it's either "all or nothing" I sleep or don't sleep, naps have never worked for me. Something will distract me or wake me up, or I'll be stressed about possibly missing a class or perhaps forgetting that ONE TIME to check the alarm clock. If it isn't that, it will be "Hey, Kevin the printer stopped working again, fi-" "GODDAMMIT OKAY IM AWAKE."

And this whole time I thought you were joking and referencing this:

Ed Edd n' Eddy!


And my gutter had nothing to do with the count .
My phrasing isn't the best, guilty.

You sound like a machine, White. a heavy duty, hard working, machine.

69,594 (Damn, I must be tired to misread the number twice)

Nope, legit naming. All of the kids of part of the family were named intentionally with "K" as a starting letter. Kurt, Kassie, Kenneth, Katie, Kellie, and Kevin. Incidentally, both sides of the family's aunts start with K's as well: Katherine and Karen.


I'm technically the 2nd K, because half-brother is 1st K.

Your family better not have KKK connections.

Too many K's!!!

That's beyond trippy! Like, the 5th dimension would trip over that.

69,600 (I've screwed up the number in every possible way; 11/10 effort)

Nope (on KKK relation, but Hell's Angels and South African Air Force), however as my employer also noticed from personal conversation, none of my family have anything in common with me aside from general behaviorism. Beliefs, applied knowledge, and hobbies.

Entire family: Jesus train. Skills: Culinary art, chiropractic, health & fitness, automotive, military, electrical, dental hygiene, and nursing.

Me: Computer-anything, math, liberal arts, history, and sales/management.

As much as I love working on computers and making computers, I don't want a job around the thing I actually like doing, it just makes you hate it. The people I know who did pursue programming, network maintenance, computer repair/building, and 3D modeling either ended up: never sleeping more than 4-5 hours a day, low pay, no benefits, eventually hating being around computers at all, compromising on the skill for industrial options available (AutoCAD, Solidworks, Surfcam), technical programming (nothing fun), etc.

I would rather just deal with math, liberal arts, and sales/management. It's not the funnest thing in the world, but at least I won't hate the one thing I look forward to doing at the end of the day: screwing around on the computer.

Finally, someone said it. I always assumed the same thing.

No joke, but finding the "2nd alternative" took 5 years to figure out; I just can't give up the one thing that allows time to pass easier without headaches.

Hey, who wants to kill stuff?

Oh my Fox, that's terrible... please don't

[Trixsie Vixen]

I am moved by you emotional appeal (and fluffiness)

Let's have icecream instead.
