I decided I was going to try my hand at rabble rousing today.
And the result isn’t bad but I don’t feel like I really got my point across. Clearly I need to refine my methods and fine tune my arguments before I take this show on the road.
At least I remembered to post it to my BlueSky this time. That hotbed of outraged liberalism should at least be amenable to my message.
Knowing how things tend to work out for me, though, my message will go asbolutely nowhere because on some level, I still put out “don’t notice me” vibes.
Oh well. I guess I will just have to try even harder to be heard.
I wonder if I should go looking for the good kind of trouble on Reddit. I am sure there’s plenty of political arguments I could join in on there.
And that could be a very good way to vent both my energies and my aggression.
And what the hell, it could be a lot of fun too. What can I say, I love to fight. There’s something in me that needs to test myself against others and struggle with them. Wrestle with them verbally. Butt heads.
I dunno. Maybe that’s where my normal male competitive aggression ended up.
But it’s definitely not about winning, or some prize I desire. The fight itself is the reward. The opportunity to really let loose with a portion of all this energy that accumulates in my soul without having to hold back would be golden to me.
I really should have been a lawyer. I would be such a good one.
Oh, I did not end up going to Wound Care today. As far as our printed schedule said, my appointment was at 10:45 am, but somehow, when the phone rang at around 9:45 am, I knew exactly what it would be.
And yup. Just like I suspected, once more they moved the appointment without telling me. So I didn’t get my bandages changed today.
This is becoming a pattern. A very annoying one. I was ready to get my bandages changed. It’s always a pleasant enough experience. It feels nice to have nurses take care of my tootsies for a bit and clean fresh bandages always feel good too.
But alas, it was not to be today. And I can’t be sure I have a genuine umbrage about it because they might have emailed me or left a voicemail and I just didn’t check.
But I am pretty sure they didn’t, which means this is all on them. I was ready and willing but they dropped the ball.
And this time, I could not keep the aggravation out of my voice when I was talking with the nurse. And I have mixed feelings about that.
Mostly I feel good about it. It seems like an appropriate response. It’s not like I yelled at her or made a huge deal about it or anything, but she could definitely tell I was not happy about it.
Not her fault, presumably, but you have to give feedback to the system somehow.
Now I am not going to get fresh bandages until Tuesday. And that’s not a major crime or anything, that’s what happens when I am sick after all, but still.
The whole thing left me a tad miffed.
Oh, and I did the weekly online shopping and this was my impulse buy.
The second I saw garlic and herb pretzels I knew I had to try them. And it turns out they are every bit as good as they sounded.
So good that I’ve already eaten most of them. Ooops. 🙂
More after the break.
So now what?
Well I’ve already told you all about my day, so now I have to actually think of something to say to you lovely people.
Reportage is so much easier.
Maybe I need to start having a way more interesting life so I can just blog about my life all the time and have it be engaging content.
But my real product is always me – my personality, wit, charm, insight, and so on. So I’d like to think I can make even writing about the mundane details of my life engaging.
Right now I am trying to look up WordPress crossposting extensions. I could expand the reach of these little posts of mine with very little effort if I installed something that would automatically crosspost them to sites like Medium and other blogging platforms.
Maybe there’s even one that would post a link to BlueSky for me.
Oh, and I came very close to finally buying a new PC game today. I was all ready to buy Cyberpunk 2077 but the sale that made it affordable to me ended like an hour before I I was going to make the purchase.
Now it’s back to being $80 like all the other AAA games. Le sigh.
Well the next time I get an email that something I really want is on sale at Steam, I am going to pounce on that bitch like I’m a starving dog and it’s a steak dinner.
I’ve had to stop playing Divinity : Original Sin 2 because the story mods I try to play always eventually corrupt all my save games and I have to start over.
Which really sucks. I may try to diagnose the problem or I might just move on.
Meanwhile, a fuzzy I was chatting with reminded me of the game Tyranny, so I looked it up and was pleased to find I already owned it.
I am way past the point where I have any idea what’s in my Steam Library. My game library has expanded as age has eroded my recall and at some point the two line crossed and now finding that I own a game I was thinking of buying is pretty routine.
Hell, I managed to completely forget I owned Borderlands 3 until I saw an ad for Borderlands 4 and thought, “Damn, I should probably buy 3 then!”
Anyhow, I’ve started playing Tyranny. I’ve tried getting into it a few times before but I was very turned off by its depressing setting.
Basically, you start an officer in the army of a very evil and incredibly powerful mage called the Overlord (subtle) and are put in charge of wiping out the last holdouts that are keeping said Overlord from total world domination.
Kind of makes me feel like I’m in charge of killing Asterix.
I understand from what others have told me that I will soon have the option of NOT being on the side of evil, and so this time, I am going to stick it out till I get somewhere in the game.
And what the hell, I can be a hardass no-nonsense administrator keeping people in line if I have to.
It’s well within my skillset.
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
