July 1st, 2025: I woke up this morning, got myself a bowl of cereal, I didn’t have enough time to make myself some eggs and toast so I wrote some stuff in my blog before grabbing the bus over. I decided to stop at this coffee store in the park and get a thin mint mocha. It set me back $6.00 but I enjoyed the flavor. I walked over to my volunteer place and went in to get my printer and computer from Seth M. The coffee machine wasn’t brewing yet so I finally figured out how to turn it on. When I checked my email, I saw that the meeting with the Microsoft people was from 1:30am to 3:00pm. I got introduced to the new guy on the team and I instantly went to make him an ID card. He gave me this semi professional portrait of him in front of a stained glass window. I printed out the card and gave it to him. I wrote a list of things wrong with the website that I found and I gave it to him (the fact that someone is listed as being an intern since the birth of Elagabalus. I continued walking around the office a few more times with nothing much to do for now. I exited the building to get to my typical pizza place, when I got over it was absolutely jam-packed. When I finally got in line, I was served by this Black guy wearing a Donald Trump mugshot t-shirt. I got the loaded potato pizza slice because it was one of the few left. When I got back I went to my desk to open up my computer and work on my blog/diary more. I went into the break room to see Staples eating lunch by herself, she waved at me and I waved back. I was told by Seth M that I should get a pair of headphones from his friend and I did that and went into this very plain meeting room before I switched over to this library meeting room. I looked at all the books in the room when I saw this shelf of religious books which consisted mostly of different versions of the Quran with a single Book of Mormon from 1975, Here’s a sample of some of 1 Nephi 1:
<1 Nephi 1:1. I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.
<1 Nephi 1:4. For it came to pass in the commencement of the first year of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at Jerusalem in all his days); and in that same year there came many prophets, prophesying unto the people that they must repent, or the great city Jerusalem must be destroyed.
<1 Nephi 1:5. Wherefore it came to pass that my father, Lehi, as he went forth prayed unto the Lord, yea, even with all his heart, in behalf of his people.
<1 Nephi 1:6. And it came to pass as he prayed unto the Lord, there came a pillar of fire and dwelt upon a rock before him; and he saw and heard much; and because of the things which he saw and heard he did quake and tremble exceedingly.
<1 Nephi 1:7. And it came to pass that he returned to his own house at Jerusalem; and he cast himself upon his bed, being overcome with the Spirit and the things which he had seen.
<1 Nephi 1:9. And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the midst of heaven, and he beheld that his luster was above that of the sun at noon-day.
<1 Nephi 1:12.. And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the Spirit of the Lord.
<1 Nephi 1:14. And it came to pass that when my father had read and seen many great and marvelous things, he did exclaim many things unto the Lord; such as: Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty! Thy throne is high in the heavens, and thy power, and goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the earth; and, because thou art merciful, thou wilt not suffer those who come unto thee that they shall perish!
<1 Nephi 1:19. And it came to pass that the Jews did mock him because of the things which he testified of them; for he truly testified of their wickedness and their abominations; and he testified that the things which he saw and heard, and also the things which he read in the book, manifested plainly of the coming of a Messiah, and also the redemption of the world.
How the fuck do you even get past the first chapter? I got onto the call with the CEO, Seth M, Seth M’s friend, Zach A, and two other people. They were recording it as we went over this sample that we used of a family of five where the database displayed all of their birthdays and I noticed that the mother had hers in 1986, the father in November 1988, and the oldest son on June 9th, 2006, it just stayed with me throughout the thing, these are real people. I had issues with the wifi throughout and then got off the call at 3:00pm. I went back to my desk to do nothing until I clocked out at 4:15pm and walked to my bus stop. I got on the packed bus to see the fat lady from last week. I sat next to her again until my bus stop. I got off and worked on transcribing the CEO’s speech when I finally got it done after a while. I went to this restaurant to buy a caramel sundae and then headed home. At home I watched Hoodwinked and absolutely loved it, for context it’s basically if the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale was expanded into a crime thriller with multiple perspectives. I really loved it even if it was very poorly animated. I completed the last of my June posts and published it. I had set a goal for myself for the month to write down at least 1,000 words a day and I more than beat that for every single day. According to Google Docs, it got to a total of 40850 words with 207858 characters, 167996 of which weren’t space characters. I didn’t have dinner sadly but I took a shower and then went to bed.
