Hear me out
A The Beholding ritual but it’s just some guy given some enormous spooky database and they have to come up with as many useful sql views for it
(Doing my databases homework for hours and listening to TMA at the same time does interesting things to my mind and it full on feels like some ritual)
#the magnus archives#tma podcast#tma#tma shitpost#the beholding#i am actually getting sql dreams at this point#like the whole dream is an sql file#and im writing queries#except my dream is adding difficulty because now there is apparently an sql timer dlc#and i have to time everything perfectly or it breaks

thinking about something @ocelly said a while back about writing and editing using different parts of the brain/serving different parts of the creative process- and fundamentally that mindset has been invaluable to me.
unfortunately, my brain has been coasting in editing/refining/polishing mode for a while now and I really need it to shift gears into creative/generative/productive mode. don't get me wrong, I genuinely love the editing process! I'd forgotten how much fun it can be to tease out the right words/meaning from something. I really would have been a very happy copyeditor in another universe.
But there's a whole laundry list of shit that I need done, not polished, and the problem with engaging Editing Brain is that it's hard to convince it that I can live without absolute perfection for a while. You can't polish an empty document, asshole! Get the words on the page first and then worry about the details later.
#most of what I need to do is like. stupid sql queries and form building.#I have a decade of experience at my job. I know those workflows in my sleep.#but I don't grok the processes at this new agency that well. and I don't feel confident in my ability to build the tools they need.#and the clock is ticking.#ugh.#nattering#[redacted work bullshit]#literacy was a mistake

me because i'm unemployed and crazy: “here's a worksheet where you can see what the rally people do before they started their career fulltime !”
only get my hands on info of like 50 people and also the numbers are heavily skewed towards finns and frenchies. because .. duhh
charts breakdown part ! (this is just a part where i yap)
unsurprisingly many drivers had a career right in motorsports or some motorsports-related jobs like mechanics/engineers (started driving at a very young age, too). but also there's quite a portion of them studied law or practiced law previous to making a career out of racing. maybe driving 125km/h is the perfect way of destressing after memorising 300 lines of civil law 🙏
now about co-drivers. most of them studied engineering or even had really successful corporate jobs. like jonne halttunen is literally a ceo and he prolly has enough money to provide for kalle for the rest of his life lol. besides that we have the sportsplayers who switched over after some injury (enni included) or the military people - tina thörner was one of the first women to make it into the swedish air force and guy frequelin was a tank driving instructor ! so basically co-drivers be having the craziest sidejobs ever…
now since i have the most data for finland and france: voilĂ ! comparison chart ! (co-drivers included)
apparently finns (and drivers in nordic countries) can have a professional rallying career at a very early age - usually they do this with external funding or working as a developer/driving instructor for car manufacturers. meanwhile most frenchies dabbled in a lot of jobs or struggled financially before they can have a full-time seat.
#the collecting info part is ok. but why tf do i have to learn sql to make the chart#also during this i found out actually the old finns are not in hiding. they actually yap a lot in podcasts and interviews#we just need to listen to them. in finnish …#also ilkka is a principal of a national coaching program for codrivers lol. what do you think abt running for fia presidency ilkka …#random banter

does feel like my brain has been slightly broken lately in a not unpleasant way but in a way that has made almost anything outside of work requiring more than thirty seconds of my attention impossible to focus on (rip reading. i haven't even been able to listen to my audiobooks at work). feels like i've come home from work everyday and watched one episode of cutthroat kitchen and i can't tell you anything else i've done. sure hasn't been reading or writing or even being online that much so i'm truly at a loss as to what's been filling the hours lol. shout out to my queue for being so long at least so i continue to post nonsense even if i'm not posting nonsense in real time i guess.
#this has been a useless text post you may now resume your normal programming#if you want to know how truly 'idek what's been filling the hours' i've been#last night i was up at midnight reading the wikipedia page for idaho. for some goddamn reason.#in fairness i have been using far more of my brain at work lately than i usually do#fully willingly mind you but unfortunately what i've been doing means i'm like. seeing SQL queries when i close my eyes#like when you play a game like tetris for too many hours and you shut your eyes and only see Colored Squares#need a few days where i have some reading in office time. but alas. the analytics Call Me lol#anyway what is everybody up to? having a good summer? trying not to be crushed to death by every news headline? etc?

interview went well i think (in spite of my anxiety) and next big patch details for wow today too wooo xiv has their pll this friday so i'm hoping that the good vibes keep on keepin on and i get a second interview soon too >:3
#one of the questions i asked she mentioned SQL and i went “eyy SQL” like a fool#she asked about some stuff i've never personally used but my mom has so i mentioned that i had worked with people who used it#and mentioned that i've sat in some agile classes and am doing some research on some of the things i would use for the job#it was comforting she mentioned that they would train me for things too so yay#the commute's longer than i would've preferred but atm what i can get is what i can get#i reached out for info about how much is still owed on the house to see if i'm anywhere near being able to pay it off too#the answer is maybe... i'd have to draw from mom's stocks but it wouldn't be the whole stock at least#one thing at a time no use stressing myself out too much right now#gonna just finish the deep clean of the front room and work on the patch a bit maybe or my backlog or some alt stuff#going to abilities expo this weekend too so i'm excited i love seeing the new tech they have coming out#and maybe i'll be lucky and i can talk to a pride rep and ask if they would buy back the extra scooters and stuff we got here#i still wanna keep one scooter one manual but i think the rest i can sell#idk about the custom wheelchair tho since that thing was specialty

lord I am so exhausted of applying to dozens of jobs every week without getting a single response other than your application wasn’t selected. my current job is wrecking me and I am so burnt out and just want a job that pays well and doesn’t make me want to die 24/7. im at my wits end like who do I need to pay to make my resume/linkedin stand out because how do people hear back from jobs??? what am I doing wrong
#all I can do is cry#im so exhausted#corporate work is so hard and soul sucking#except for the people who have good corporate jobs how do they get those and why have I submit over a thousand apps within the last year#and heard back from maybe 3#im so tired#if only I had gotten a degree in fucking computer science lol#the only industry that pays well and doesn’t require you to sell your soul and life#i’ve been trying to teach myself sql and python but im failing miserably#if I had just done coding in college and not stupid fucking finance :)

Slammer Sonic/Slammer Worms Lore
Slammer Worms can completely devour/corrupt a game however can trick a player/pc owner into seeing the game as normal.
However, a keen eyed player will notice all the character's sprites being more monochromatic in color if Slammer has been there, they also seem to lose idol animations, and only move if scripted or if the player makes them.
What happens if Slammer fully consumes a game? Well you know how you can't eat the same exact pizza over and over again?
If a game is destroyed on a computer, you can't simply delete and reinstall it on that computer, no matter where the source is from, that game on THAT computer is ruined forever.
But if Slammer Prime/a Clone finds a whole new computer, they can eat the same game again, since it's a fresh PC to work with.
So in a technical sense, many Slammers can come from Sonic CD, but often prefer to explore other games in the same series just for a tad of Verity.
Slammer Prime and the clones all have some things in common, to tell themselves apart from eachother, but also other computer virus and horror au chararters.
Slammer Prime and the clones all have golden shoes, all of them have the same type of Blue Slammer Prime ((aka Slammer Sonic)) somewhere on them.
The Slammer Clones and Slammer Prime also all share an insect theme, before entering a game.
A Clone can choose what type of insect they wanna be, and as long as that insect is worm like during one stage of it's life. Then they can become it upon entering the game world.
Here are some examples.
Slammer Prime is (earth worm) based.
Slammer Tails is (wasp) based, wasps count because they are larva at some point.
Slammer Shadow is (Moth) Based cause Moths have caterpillar forms before they become moths.
The final thing that helps keep each Slammer different then another Slammer is the fact, every single clone has a different video game character host.
No Two Slammers can share the same character as a host, even if from a different game.
However there is ONE other example of a Slammer Sonic, and that Clone belongs to the playground au owned by misscloudiedays.
Playground Slammer is NOT connected to the other Slammers.
Slammer Prime and the Slammer Clones work alot like a hive mind.
They can act independently however they are all connected to eachother, as soon as a Slammer clone get's a host, and finish consuming the game they are in, they are connected completely to the other Slammers and are given access to the same powers and abilities as all other Slammers.
All Slammer clones are at the same power level, once they have connected properly but all are weaker then Slammer Prime.
Upon a Slammer Clone or Slammer Prime consuming a new virus/more code the new information is shared among all of them.
If a Slammer Clone is Killed somehow, the other clones will track it's remains to devour it, and that clones host can be given to another Slammer Clone.
Playground Slammer Sonic, Slammer Amy Rose, Slammer Shadow The Hedgehog.
Are the only Slammer Clones disconnected from the hive, each with their own reasons.
Playground:
unwillingly separated due to the fact all horror entities are made into harmless toddler versions of themselves, because of how this au functions.
Slammer Amy: Willingly separated this is one rare case where the clone spawned into existence with an 'empathy virus'
There is a 0'01% chance for a Slammer Clone to spawn itself with a virus that can either hinder it or make itself stronger.
This Slammer Clone had one that gave it empathy, so it willingly disconnected itself from the hive and share's control with Amy herself.
The only thing it forces amy todo is eat flicky's.
Slammer Shadow: Unwillingly
(unknown why disconnected from hive)
Slammer Prime and Slammer Clones all go by it/its/they/them before they get a host.
Once they have a host, they steal the hosts pronouns as their own.
Best Examples being
Slammer Prime (Sonic) It/Its/He/Him.
Slammer Amy It/Its/She/Her.
The final thing I will mention here is Slammer Prime's first computer/victim is indeed Tom, since Slammer is my take on Sonic.exe as a whole.
Tom his design and story will be worked on at a later date.
Thank you for reading, if you have any questions let me know!
#sonic.exe#sonic.exe au#sonic.exe oc#sql slammer worm#slammer sonic#slammer virus#lore#important#I've likely stated some things before#but it's good to have alot of info in one post

I just want a job where I work from home, do some boring repetitive data entry spreadsheet analysis etc. task, and never have to talk to anyone on the phone that doesn't work at my company. Is that so much to ask.
#my words#I'm so burnt out on having to wear my worksona#I can't do customer-facing jobs anymore#I'm trying to get qualified to do data analysis but there aren't really any official licenses or whatever#so I'm just kinda learning SQL on my own#but until then I need SOMETHING

getting a keyboard with no symbols on the caps has made me aware that there's a small category of keys, like F1-F12, best described as 'keys whose location I know, but can't touch type'
I like to think that I look patently ridiculous when I look down at 104 blank black keys and confidently push one
#those and like... the vertical pipe maybe?#idk I feel like I've written enough bash commands to have that one mostly down to muscle memory too#angle brackets are a special case#i can touch type them normally#but if I'm gonna do a <> (thanks Java and SQL) I wanna look down

my old advisor was """restructured""" a while ago and my new one can be SO frustrating. they spent several emails working on the assumption that i had veteran benefits, for some reason, and in our most recent interaction they just full on ignored my question about whether a class i wanted to take would be viable or not. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'RE HERE TO DO, MAN
#they want me to take Global Information Management Systems#which sounds hellishly boring and has a long and involved term project listed in the syllabus#and *I* want to take an advanced database class. my other database class fucking ruled i love SQL#and i think it sounds SO much more work-manageable to sort of mitigate my incredible fucking burnout#also it's the saturday before christmas now. will they even get BACK to me before the next classes start? are they done for the year??#i don't want to make someone work on christmas break but fuck. i wouldn't have to if they just acknowledged my question the first time#hush me#schoolblog#btw i appreciate that '''restructured''' meant ''we fired a bunch of people to be cheap :)''#and that it indicates my poor new advisor is probably overworked and juggling too many students#please direct your curses and etc evil energies at the school 👍
