Gaming:
Just odds and ends in Xillia. More loot-gathering. Mysterious Jewel hunting. These two odd caretakers appeared out of nowhere in Xalien Woods Temple by that Transcendental Ring thing I'd investigated multiple times before. I found their appearance bizarre, and well, it turns out they were ghosts awaiting the release of their "pets" inside that thing. The fight was long but not overly difficult despite my use of Lemon Gels.

Weight loss:
As of this morning, I am six pounds down since starting this topic. Awesome!

Step count yesterday was a measly 1700, but I needed to slug around. My mom made dinner: Salmon burgers. I converted mine into a BLAST sandwich (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado [Guac], Salmon, Tomato. Around 400 calories, too. Side was sweet potato fries. Dessert was key lime pie. All of it was delicious! And it was cheap, efficient food too.

Today is a 1,000-calorie day. Currently at 350. Had goat cheese with crackers for breakfast (160 cals or so). And orange juice and my cold brew coffee. Hoping to pair that with 15,000 steps... at 3600 at the moment, so 15,000 is entirely doable.

Song of the Day:
I haven't done enough females. So let's show Benatar some love:

RANT INCOMING!!!!!!!
Please be prepared for when I rant. Things may get out of hand.

I am SICK of this 40-hour slavery. America has regressed to a second-world country due to a fucked-up work culture where people are expected to give their lives to their job. It's bullshit. I don't WANT to spend all my time and energy toward work while maintaining my health and a clean home environment. What's worse is that more jobs are expecting free overtime out of their slaves (slavery is illegal, yet very common in the States) - thank goodness I'm hourly, so that's ONE positive. Our work culture has regressed to "the American Dream" becoming a nightmare - to quote the great George Carlin, "you gotta be asleep to believe it."

It pisses me off that I'm expected - by both my job and my parents - to be a slave, a sheep, an idiot. I'm supposed to "just do it" and "not question it" since I'm "supposed to work 40 hours." Bullshit. My parents pressuring me is only serving to make me care less and less about my job. I don't think they realize I see their bullying tactics as reverse psychology to get me to snap and rebel against the system Persona 5 style. I'm not going to be one with the collective bystanders like my parents want me to be. What am I supposed to do with my life if it has no fucking meaning? I don't have a girl to come home to every night. I don't have anything except a job I hate (love the people and location, though). And what's the fucking point to life, then? Huh?

It's downright depressing. There's a reason I WANT to be on GameFAQs at work - I don't care about doing my job. I have the security of State employment and, since I'm support staff, as long as I get whatever shit they give me done, I can give the impression that I'm working. When I'm not (well, this 570-page Epic record with poor inking won't scan itself into SharePoint, but it takes FOREVER). That's largely due to the lack of tasks they give me to compensate for me getting everything done despite my insistence to broaden my workload. So, at the end, it feels like work is a waste of time. What's the fucking point? I don't know what I want to do with my life, but it certainly isn't this. I am bored out of my mind at a job I've been working for four years - through contractors and now State - and I don't know what to do...

Rant over. Thank you for listening.
