October 13th, 2025: Monday today. I woke up early and got dressed for my job. I didn’t have coffee because I wanted to limit myself to one cup of coffee today. I finished off my cereal and posted on the Shiwi about
@Warrior-Z e-dating this girl on Twitter. I got on the bus, the guy who I thought was blind for a while got on with his entire beard shaved. I got off at my stop then walked in to wait for Seth M to unlock my office. I brewed the coffee for the team. I only got into my office at 8:36am to clock in a minute later. There was a lot of different bread in the kitchen for the staff so I had one. When I went to the meeting room. I was told by Harmony C to sit at the table instead of off to the side like the interns, I did that and ended up in between Portia and Lillehammer. I waited a bit and thought that the CEO wouldn’t be here but he was and this is what his speech was:
“Oh, yeah, I get that. I got that silly cardiac rehab starting all over again, which is good. Uhh So, first they were in there and they did all the measurements and everything looked good. It's just that I'm all tuckered out because they said: ‘You should do more.’ You guys are doing great. I really appreciate all the work you guys are doing. It shows up almost every day and emails, communications back to me, that kind of thing, so, you know, keep up the good work there. As far as updates go, we're pretty much set with what we're doing with our funds. Uhm I'd like us to continue to explore FFS I'll be talking to the board this week about some ideas that I have, and to hear their ideas so cool we could possibly do that thing. The bottom line for the update on that from the community is that they're still desiring to find out what the government gaps are so that they could try to fill those gaps. So the best way to find out what those gaps are is to actually look at the work that everybody's doing here. And if you see a need for a client that is not being fulfilled, just bring it up to your supervisor and then it'll bubble up to me. I think it's the best way to take a look at it. What else can we do for our clients is the question you should be asking yourself, you do your work. But short of that, just make sure you do the work the best you can. within the limits of your scope services and whatnot. I think the most important thing there is to keep in mind that that's our best way to actually counter the negativity that's going on in DC, the best way to do it is to just do our work. Don't get me wrong, I can't tell you if you should do more than that in protest with that, but I found over the years being a native Alaskan, this is like history repeating it, so to me, except now it's at a nationwide level, not a travel level. Is actions really make a difference. They say a lot more, people will notice that, and people notice you from afar, you don't even know who you're testing with your actions, so just make sure you do that. Before I turn it over to the directors or any questions, globally, did anybody has? Don't be afraid to speak up, because if you have a question, most likely somebody else has it. No? Okay, so in December, probably the ninth, myself, and maybe somebody else here will go with me to DC for [5 letter acronym], the topics there, how are you going to rebuild things? So they're already talking about how we're going to rebuild things. Because once there's a change in administration, we've got to start building. So now's the time to plan those things in DC. It usually takes about two years for a plan to come together. So we're going to be part of that by us attending that. I might ask a board member to go along with me as well. I'll ask them if it's interested that our board meeting are full board meetings annually, I think it's our annual board meeting. So I want to get any questions, so. I'm going. Zach A do you want to start?”
We went around and I got my mini speech in but I forgot to mention the voicemail reset thing. We got done after that and I went to talk with Harmony C about getting new IDs for some interns. I went to print out one and then I was told by Seth M about the computer distribution, but I had to leave at 10:35am to get to classes. I narrowly missed the bus to campus and then rode it all the way over. I got in early though and decided to get coffee. While I was waiting in line, I saw Zephyr come over with 3 boxes of gallons of milk to give to the coffee place, I waved to her and she waved back. I got my coffee and then walked into the lecture hall early to hear more about the art world of ancient Greece. He mentioned the exam that was due tonight by midnight and the thing was that he already gave us the 2 essay questions that would be in it. I then walked over to my next class, the discussion and I accidentally got my leather jacket caught on this screw sticking out of a pole and it damaged my mom’s leather jacket. I got in and decided to text some of my friends to ask them to this event, I did so with Markus (no response), Mahdi (he agreed), Mercurius (he agreed and asked if we should wear costumes), and Reuben (he said he couldn’t make it). I sat with the girl with hair dyed a while ago and we discussed images of Greek gods. I left at 1:20pm to catch the bus at 1:30am. I took it to work and got in at 1:55pm. My task list for today was getting asked to grab computers and relabel them and assign them to interns with no idea what the new name for some of them were. I was getting stressed but I went to the employees to ask for their old ones back, including Tia’s, but she was talking to Staples for a while. I finally got it back and got the CEO’s voicemail reset and that was it. I had to move my jacket off the seat next to me because an intern would be there. I got some more bread before departing at 4:00pm, a black single mom and her kid sat next to me on the bus. I got home and made green beans and potatoes for dinner, I finally got to working on my exam and here’s what I wrote that I put in.
>Both the Stele of Naram-Sin (c. 2254 BC - c. 2218 BC) and the Palette of Narmer (c. 3000 BC - c. 2920 BC, 1st Dynasty Egypt) use scale and placement hierarchy to convey messages of divine kingship and authority. The Stele of Naram-Sin is a 2 meter tall stone carving depicting the Akkadian king with his troops proclaiming victory over the Lullubi in battle, the Akkadian including Naram-Sin are looking up to the heavens and bowing on top of the others in the stele is Naram-Sin depicted as being larger than the others to signify his importance in leading his troops to victory and his heightened favor with the Akkadian gods. Additionally Naram-Sin is wearing a helmet only worn by the gods themselves. The Narmer Palette is a stone engraving depicting the Pharaoh Narmer uniting the Upper (recto) and Lower (verso) kingdoms of Egypt, on both sides, Narmer is the largest human figure depicted but his appearance only varies in what crown of Egypt he is wearing. His position in the center on the recto side is chosen to represent his importance. The distinction in size is to represent his bigger role in Egyptian history as the first person ever to unite the two Egyptian kingdoms into one.
>The contrast between vases from the Geometric period to the Archaic period exemplifies the transition from abstraction to realism. The Dipylon Amphora (c. 750 BC, Geometric) and “Ajax and Achilles Playing Dice” by the sculptor Exekias (c. 540 BC, Archaic) exemplify this shift the sreal womangest. The Dipylon Amphora was a funerary marker that represents the older Geometric style, where artists used lots of patterns. Humans were represented as combinations of shapes and repeated. The use of slip and firing created a simple effect of black figures against the brown color of the pottery. The art is flat, symmetrical, and repetitive to convey order and significance. This technique limited the artist’s ability to depict motion or emotion, resulting in highly stylized and abstract human forms. The Archaic period, the black-figure technique, as seen in the work of Exekias (fl. 550 BC - 525 BC) known as “Ajax and Achilles Playing Dice.” The addition of realism allowed for a fuller narrative. Artists painted figures in a glossy black slip on the brown clay surface, then cut fine details into the black areas with a sharp tool to reveal the brown color beneath and enable painting with red or white (why not blue or green?) It enabled more complex pieces. Exekias used the technique to create the moment between two buddies, with the heroes’ poised gestures and attentive gazes communicating emotion never seen before. The progression from the Dipylon Amphora to the refined storytelling of Exekias’ “Ajax and Achilles Playing Dice.” illustrates how advancements in technique transformed the Greek vase painting scene into a medium capable of sophisticated storytelling for all people, past, present, and future, to see.
I completed the 3 hour thing in 55 minutes. I ate more ice cream. I saw James in his room reading the Bible before bed. I took a shower, and went to sleep.

The catechism literally says the opposite. The magesterium has spoken, and these creeps won’t listen. I’m tired of this type slanding others then being cafeteria themselves.
