Don't worry, I don't seriously intend to kill myself.

Had me worried there for a second. I mean, it doesn't sound like something you'd do (here I go speaking like I actually know you), but I know of people who say something like that as if joking, but are really serious and end up doing it. And then everybody's like, "oh, I should have paid more attention."

Take a break and enjoy some of your quality games. Heck, if you won't, I will. ;)

The thing is Miran, most people at some point think they're ugly, most people live with their parents longer than they think is average, and there's plenty of jobs if you look hard enough, especially if you have the brains like you obviously do. Then once a new job comes, so does new friends and a belief in yourself again, then the ugliness will pass and the women flooding in :)

I just came back from the personnel department where I had a slightly informal job interview. Looks like six weeks from now my crappy not really real job is going to turn into a still crappy but real job. The only problem is I have to pass an extensive medical examination first which will be on January 8. I got a friendly warning that last time 15 out of 32 applicants failed the medical because of alcohol, THC and other substances. Those substances stay in the system for up to a month or even more. This means my new year will have to be a little less happy than normal. :(

So, things are already looking better. :)

As for the job, well, Slovenia is in the common market now, so Europe's your oyster ;)

and remember, there's a critical shortage of IT staff.

You're not even allowed to have alcohol? That seems a bit harsh!

Glad you're feeling better.

Woah... What's it like to have no friends and not play WoW? I didn't think it were possible.

The job is at a nuclear power plant, so it kind of makes sense. They still are a bit too excited about their medicals though in my opinion. The ordeal takes a whole day, and it's not like wait two hours, then do a small little test, then wait two more hours. They actually do tests non-stop for seven or eight hours. And when it's time for a lunch break, they go eat and meanwhile send in a new set of technicians to do some more tests. They test everything! It's like they're sending you to the moon or something...

Depressing. Some people even kill themselves.

Alcohol leaves the body quite quickly, party like it's 1999 is what I'd say :)

Depressed...

Take some friends (so you'r with 3 or 9 in total) and go to a forrest.
Breath in some clean air.
- Talk about your problems..
- go sit somewhere and just listen. (be patient)

Having hobbies helps as having nothing to do can make you feel much worse.

Any new games / programs you want to do? :)

I wanted to make a nice simple game for xmashack. Maybe, just maybe if I feel better, I might actually finish something.

And then of course there's this idea I've had for at least a couple of years now that's going to make me rich and famous once I implement and sell it. :)

That would be very good advice. If I had enough friends. :-X

I lost plenty in the last couple of months. So no, I wouldn't.

I've got a better idea:
Take some friends along, wait till dark and enter a club.

-The next morning, gather intelligence and calculate your score

... yeah, chugging hallucinogens is a great idea for someone who's depressed.

Funnily enough, it works for some people. But only when the depression is caused by abnormal brain function.

But no, I wouldn't recommend it.

Now some good strong Salvia Divinorum on the other hand... it's hard to be depressed when you've forgotten that you're a person. ;)

Sadly my average daily score according to that is -28... yeah you do the math.

Perhaps you can take some random people to the forest and bludgeon them to death with a carving knife. It'll sure release your anxieties and give you something to do for the next 20 years ;)
