July 19, 22: Routine, PIMP Meeting, Grading, TV, and Games

[Honestly, it feels really weird to be home and working on my post right now…totally feels like a Thursday. But, I got my grading done and officially reported yesterday, so today is the first day of my break; have like a month off! I want to try and relax a little, but I also want to feel like I accomplished something for the day, so we’ll see how that all plays out. I also need to start back in with what I was doing with the Libertarian State Party now that I have some time again.]

My sleep seems to have fallen into a pretty solid pattern of eight or so until about four and consistently an hour short. If only I could get it to be nine to six for a full eight, I’d be golden…considering trying some supplements or something to see if it helps, but definitely not messing with any proper sleeping pills (I know myself better than that).

Anyway, got on with the usual morning routine and it was fairly unremarkable. I suppose cryptos are still in the green, and I’m certainly not complaining about that, but I don’t have all that much confidence in the rally…perfect trap for those that think the market has turned around. 🤔

Did my post for the day, which turned into a bit of an epic by the end (ain’t nobody got time for that! 😛😂), but I have been pleased that several people have stopped by and commented who clearly did read. I did spend a little time researching EOS development docs and looking to see what options might be available…I mean, if the dev docs are even half-way decent, that would be enough reason to bail! 🤣

Was disappointed to find that Marky wiped my curation on a comment on one of my posts and continues to wipe my curation on arcange’s posts. I really have no desire to step into the crossfire of downvote wars, but I do like arcange’s contribution to the chain and want to support it, so I think it’s only fair that Marky has to use that much more of his power to wipe it out (however little difference that actually makes), so I’m voting with the full knowledge that my vote is wasted. 😡

Once I got my post done it was time for the weekly PIMP meeting! 💪 Witty’s been having it a bit rough lately, but we’ve been big bois and met of our own accord. I actually learned quite a bit from today’s meeting!

We talked some about renting out Splinterlands cards and the various returns you can expect from doing that…would be awesome to turn that into a passive income, especially considering it’s just been sitting there for nearly a week now. I’ve thought about it before, but somehow I always come back to playing one way or another…battered wife syndrome or something? 🤣

I also learned that it was possible to stake WOO cards for a chance to mine WOO tokens. 😲 I only have six common cards, so I’m definitely not expecting much if anything, but hey, a chance is a chance. Got them staked up. 👍

Otherwise, I had one and only one goal for the day and that was to get my grades done. I’d gotten a bit of a head start and done the whole first page yesterday, but it still took me basically the whole day. I did have to stop and take breaks for a bit…start getting frustrated seeing students do ridiculous things (because they’re just following their nose and never actually came to class) and start grading more harshly (inconsistently). Have to just step back for a minute, chill, and go back to it again with a clear head. I really do think that I’ve set the class up too easy (there’s a few people that passed that im not really confident they should have), but those that do put forward the effort generally knock it out of the park. 🤓

Once the finals were graded, there was still the tasks of entering them into the system, calculating the final weighted averages, converting them to letter grades, and entering them into the official system. I’d gotten one of the classes done when Wenche got done making us turkey tacos for dinner and took a break to eat and then finished up with the second class after dinner.

After that I was pretty much toast. We watched a little more What We Do in the Shadows, but I don’t think I made it more than one episode before I crashed.

Holy moly! The dShitty shittiness is relentless these days. I think we need a peasant uprising or something. 😡 Swing a few politicians from the rafters and see how much they like their taxes. 😛

Not sure how, but my Rising Star Ego is still at zero, so it’s more missions for now. Am I even quarter the way to millionaire yet? Nope. Kinda’ thinking I should try and get some more fans to boost my growth, but we’ll see, dealing with the Ego is already borderline.

The clock ticks, and ticks again. I’m enthralled and engaged with HashKings, to say the least. 😂😜 Don’t even want to try and figure out my time to break even on this…

Six days pass as still no desire to play Splinterlands. I did get some more advice in the PIMP meeting about renting cards out. Been saying for a really long time that I should do that; I think consistently getting into Diamond represents a fairly decent passive income renting, but I don’t know for sure, will have to look into it more.

Actually didn’t even remember to go in and deal with the SPS drop today. Honestly, besides a few breaks chatting on Discord, I was working pretty much the whole day anyway, so was legit busy. [Did claim and stake this morning, though, and withdrew the vouchers I’d accrued, but now they’re just piling up on H-E instead of my in-game wallet. 😡]

Got my stats for the last week again today. It continues to be highly ironic that my sleep average has increased considering that it took crashing out all afternoon several times to make up the shortfall. I’m surprised my overall activity was green as well, but I think that may have been due to not having taught on the Monday the week before. I guess we did actually go out for a walk one of the days as well, so that helped.
