Update for Everyone VIII: He who laughs have the last laugh

[PSOL]

Well I got a call back and a bonus, I’ve been crying tears of joy for a few hours today.

I also gave up on hiding myself any more. I am not letting the damage of being in the closet and remaining restricted destroy me any more. It’s made me embittered and turned myself into a perverse, weak willed person I have come to despise. I am going to be free and find love and joy in this life. For the first time in a long time, I’ve realized that if I don’t be free in surviving and thriving now, I won’t live another 2-3 years. I am going to make it.

Quickly realizing my current situation is untenable and I need to get the hell out.

Had an Atlas moment today

Was slacking off while working from home, had a Wikipedia page about Helmut Kohl, Facebook, and WhatsApp open on Chrome in addition to work stuff.

Coworker calls me on Slack out of the blue, says we need to redo a tax calculation for July due to some correction bookings. I exit out of FB and WhatsApp but forget that the Kohl article is open between three tabs of work stuff.

I share my screen and work for about 10 minutes with him on the call before I realized that the Kohl article was clearly visible in the browser bar.

Big shoutout to the Iranian guy who's basically gonna be supplying me food here in Cancun.

Been on the road driving a pickup halfway across the country for work. I’ve hit three new states, loads of counties and I’ve seen a good amount of birds. Haven’t kept up with the news that much, which is admittedly rather refreshing.

Today I finally got my pay of 208€ as a poll worker in June's local elections. A nice way to transition off a particularly underwhelming period (or so I hope).

Catching a flight to Bozeman, MT to hang out with my brother before my flight to Yerevan two Sundays from now. I was also hoping to squeeze-in a trip to the Upper Peninsula, but such is life. It's really gonna hurt when my savings run out.

Can't wait til EDay, Biden is at 47/52 that's enough for a Big blue wave now Urban vote, votes first and rural votes last, but they're all counted on EDay and after there won the a red wave it's a blue wave

Wasted the entire morning sending off emails to potential Fulbright host institutions.

I just got an invitation to interview for one of my really long-shot job applications. And while I still think it's very unlikely it'll go anywhere, just the fact that I got noticed by a team of researchers I've followed for about four years has me totally manic to prepare for it.

There should be a direct Bozeman-to-Yerevan flight. It would pull in some really cool people even if it was only a few dozen per year.

First day of 10th grade today.

I flew main cabin and wore shorts, so I couldn't get a sick shot of my kicks on the airplane, but in Montana I have arrived.

I luckily will not be flying directly from here to Yerevan, though Detroit to Yerevan is almost as bad--26 hours! I would have to imagine any other potential users of the BZN -> EVN direct flight would have to be some weird mix of outdoors geeks (to include both hikers and geologists), resource extraction or emergency management professionals, maybe a scholar or two, and potential foreign fighters (in either direction ).

Headed back to Detroit in a few hours. Since we went into Yellowstone, that makes Wyoming my second new state of the year (after Pennsylvania).
