Not one thing went right today. It’s kind of hilarious in a way. I don’t know where I picked this up from, but I remember hearing once that a certain part of comedy is watching something that’s not supposed to happen. A system failing. Like when you watch a person fall over. It’s not supposed to happen, but you saw it happen and that makes it funny. I think that’s why I’ve only been able to see all this as funny. It’s getting worse and I’m not sure how long I can find this funny.

Comedy is the mind’s greatest defense. It’s why I like working for an agency that is patently incompetent, their incompetence is so bad, it’s both the biggest threat and the biggest safeguard of my mental health. So when they come around and critique me, excuse me mr. state agency that can’t even take a year off from being under investigation by the feds.
I’ve never been investigated by the feds. The investigators from the feds liked me quite a bit. Today sucked. I don’t believe in astrology, agressively. But maybe mercury was in retrograde. It makes as much sense as anything else.
So how long? As long as the world around you keeps up and you are willing. Force of will is more important than any other factor, any other factor. Because you don’t want to push for success any more….. counter intuitive, I know. Success is the obvious choice, everyone wants success.
You want to keep focus. That’s the thing, on something, anything. Compartmentalize the rest. Develop a rich inner world, to combat the outside which rots. Or so goes my strategy. I have to keep a good amount of rotting mass showing, else they think I’m making a break for it, which I am.
Competence is for people in happy times. Do these look like those?! Reward yourself and try for better tomorrow.
