Midweek reflections on luck, learning, and life goals
Well, it's been a while. Good morning. Just taking a walk, a little bit of exercise, get some steps in. Sorry if it's windy, I'll say that straight out of the gate because it's a little overcast this morning. Temperatures are not too bad but it's not going to be anything spectacular today. I think we've even got rain later on so just to add a little bit of misery there. Other than that, midweek. May is absolutely motoring. It'll be June soon, middle of the year. Hello black cat. Is that good luck or bad luck? I don't know. I'm hoping it's good luck. I could do with some good luck. I've got some paperwork and such like that I'm waiting on that I'm kind of not desperate for but I feel like I can't move forward without it.
Other than that, feeling reasonably okay at the minute. My body could do with a good workout, exercise. I should be doubling, triple down on exercise right now and fitness and health in general just because I have the time to do it and I guess that's why I'm kind of throwing myself out here this morning on a walk, you know, trying my hardest to get into that repetition. I work best when I've like done something for like 30 days straight. That's when it kind of sticks, you know. Did a bit of computer work yesterday but well not work but learning. There's so much new stuff to learn. I can't actually do any work at the minute but plenty of learning. Like there's so many new tools, too many platforms to mention, too many bits of infrastructure to set up and also that stuff is evolving all the time so there's just lots of different areas to be learning about because it's going to affect, it is affecting all areas of life as we see this AI free market economy all over the place as everything gets optimized, jobs gets cut here, there and everywhere.
It does make you wonder what humans are actually going to do if AI is going to make a lot of the snap decisions for us and hallucinate our way into a different reality at all times. Oh my little squirrel friend's out today. Oh no he's gone. Also I think something's bust there. It's like something's bust here. The water's just spewing out of it. Yeah so just wanted to get on the voice notes. I really need to get a subscription plan for this. They put the prices up. I really wish I had the funds at the time just to get that like lifetime package. I think it was 50 bucks at the time. It's like 89 a year now which is still reasonable. It's just another chunk of money you know. Money after money after money and yeah it's one of those things where I'm just going to have to find some kind of work or job in the near future. It's going to be an expensive 6, 12, 18 months ahead I think in many areas. A lot of things I'm playing catch up on.
I am thankful that I have like a good health insurance so we can get my teeth, my front tooth looked at, things like that. What else do I want to talk about? I've been getting books from the local library about AI. I've got about six or seven books out at the minute and I keep on just like cribbing little bits of them at a time. That's why I want to update you on life stuff. Oh it was my Bella's birthday. That was pretty tough to be away from home and not be able to be there for a birthday. I do know that it's probably going to be less and less though as she you know goes off to uni. I'm really crossing all fingers and thumbs and legs and everything that she gets the qualifications that she wants. I know she's determined to make that happen and I really want it to happen for her and it's kind of one of my major things on my roadmap is like you know finding something that I can do that helps me get through the rest of the year.
Let me sustain a reasonable life and helps her achieve the goals that she wants. That's like a big responsibility, big dad thing that I want to help with, you know. I never had that. I don't know if I ever had that opportunity to go to uni or if I would have gone to uni or even if I still subscribed to the idea of a uni, going somewhere for three years for a university degree. But I do know that degrees still, in certain ways, hold a lot of weight in certain job roles that you might want to go for. My concern is there's just hundreds, if not thousands of people going for the same jobs now. And that can be frustrating and annoying. I remember all those years of trying to find a work myself without that. So I don't know, I think the world's fundamentally changed and keep changing every single day by the hour, even.
What else? I don't think there's much else to tell you, really. I just wanted to have a little voice note while I was walking around the car park and walking around this nice area, get some oxygen into my lungs before the day really starts taking off. And I think it's a bad air quality day today as well. Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. It's just going to be a usual Wednesday around here and catch up on what's happening in the world, the craziness of the world. Just adapting in real time, as we all are, right, to the environment that's rapidly changing around us. It's tough being a human, wouldn't you agree? It's kind of a lot, but at least I can get out and exercise and feel a level of freedom and security and wellness. That in itself is a lot to be thankful for. It's not given, it's not expected, so I'm thankful for when I do get it.
All right, I'm going to head off. I hope you have a good day today, wherever you are in the world, and you're kind to yourself and kind to other people around you, and that you feel healthy and have good mental health. I'll catch up with you soon. Take care.
