  • I had what a lot of people would probably consider the ideal job situation.

    I paid my dues and worked moderately hard for 4 years. The company grew from a medium sized company to a massive company. Everything was bogged down by bureaucracy. I ended up being a tiny cog of a massive machine. It felt like what I worked on didn’t really matter anymore and because of the bureaucracy I was only really working 10 maybe 20 hours a week. The work-life balance, perks were all amazing. But I was still young at the time (pre-30) and I thought it was way too early in my career to stop giving a fuck.

    So I quit and got a job at a startup. Lots of work, but it also felt like I was learning again. It felt like I was being challenged. I don’t regret it, but maybe if I ever get burned out I will try to find a job like that again.


  • Path of Exile.

    In my opinion it is one of the best games ever made but the learning curve is so insane I don’t feel comfortable blanket recommending the game. Now it has been ~3 years since I last played and I heard the game is more beginner friendly these days but it still sounds rough.

    I’d recommend the game if you have a friend or friends to play with or know someone who plays who can show you the ropes. If you want to be frustrated, but want a game with insane depth then go ahead and play it blind.

    It’s one of those games that is designed and curated for the top 10 or maybe even 1% of players of the games. It’s crafted for the die hard fans. It’s an amazing game. But it’s also completely unapproachable for 99% of people.

    Also, yes, I know Path of Exile 2 is more beginner friendly but IMO Path of Exile 2 isn’t as good as Path of Exile. At least for the time being.




  • I guess that’s possible? But when I’m at my desk sometimes my computer isn’t even on. When I work I only use my laptop so my desktop is usually off. I work with my laptop in multiple spots in the house.

    If it was a problem with my laptop I woukd imagine he’d bother me in other spots around the house as well.

    I understand though that just because a computer is off does not necessarily mean it’s quiet. The peripherals could still be receiving power, etc. I would be difficult to test this theory though without a lot of effort. I guess ai coulf unplug everything.




  • Since posting this I started to think more about what was actually happening.

    So basically he only acts strange when I sit in a particular spot in the hoose.

    I ruled out all of the basic needs so unless it’s something medical it doesn’t seem to be related to a need.

    Thus I have to consider the area itself. I think he simply doesn’t want me to be there.

    I then considered why. What type of activities did I engage in when I sat at my desk?

    One of the activities that I only engage in at my desk is attend work meetings.

    I wonder if that is the cause. He doesn’t like it when he hears the voices of strangers. Furthermore I’ve observed him getting annoyed whenever I’m on the phone with anyone, even off loud speaker.

    This is my best theory so far.


  • The way he bites/tries to bite me definitely looks more like an “I am annoyed bite”.

    If I play with him, he just comes back once we are done. Basically all of the tests I’ve conducted seem to suggest that’s not the reason he keeps coming back.

    We also have an insane amount of scratching posts. Something like 3 per area of the hoose. Then the cat trees alao have scratching areas. They get use too. Basically every need I can think of has been met.

    I have some theories that I will comment on the main post.
