The cure to being useless...
So yesterday I was juggling between an uncooperative senior project (in which I discovered that I accidentally deleted my entire script OMFG I was going nuts!) and a side job (not really job, request 'cause I was breaking my head for free) making a form that emailed results with PHP and I totally crashed. Went nuts, migraine, mood swings - the works. By one in the morning, I threw up my white flag and accepted that I couldn't get anything done for the day. I was in fact, being totally useless.
However, one good thing came out of that mess. I've discovered how to make myself do work and feel less miserable doing it. Ready for the miracle cure?
When you feel like you're gonna thrash your room apart, take a few minutes to 1) get some sort of calming tea (chamomile) 2) get up and walk away from your computer (which you get to do when you make tea, two birds in one stone, yay! and 3) Visit the Daily Squee and the Fail Blog. If you're not feeling better after this and even two painkillers, then all hope is lost. Go to bed.
Seriously though. Laughing at Fail blog's Engrish section was enough to make me feel better. I've also made a folder on my iTunes called "Happy Music" for really upbeat silly techno and anime openings. (DRRR plz) And so this morning I've gotten back into my routine of green tea and ginseng (OMG it helps) and I'm actually getting stuff done. Slowly feeling relieved. I can do this, I can do this (repeats mantra).
And so, I wanted to say, thanks Fail blog and Daily Squee. For cute animals, epic fails that make me lol and for my sanity. Renjiluvah, out!
