Guys, my appointment day is coming. Once again I thought that this time would be different and I'd be ready...

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 months ago

Mine too. I said I would go to the movies tonight, rolling the die that I'd feel up to it, but so far that's not panning out 😔

Did you manage to go?

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah I managed to rally and actually ended up really enjoying myself. It was for a screening of Dawn of the Dead ('78). I'd never seen it before.

When's your appointment day?

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Nice! That's usually how it ends up for me too. Enjoyable, but the activation energy is insane.

Unfortunately this time, the appointment isn't a fun one, but it's a work thing. I need to present something and I had a couple months to prepare but I did jack. And now it's in a week

Activation energy is a great way to put it.

RE your work presentation, I think I know that pain. I've been misestimating this project I'm on over and over, and I just can't seem to muster. Even throwing overtime at it (the last resort) and all I've done is burn myself out and make my body hurt all over lol.

What's your work presentation about? Can you possible get an extension?

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I don't think I can get an extension. And to be honest, a part of me know that I probably can crunch/grind and finish it in time. I just hate myself for half assing and doing the bare minimum again instead of actually doing it properly
