Going to take a nap. Then burn some wood and plastic trash that has been piling up. Then fence work. Then hang that gate. Then figure out an electric fence setup to go over the fence I just did. Then spray insecticide all around my house for the kids to play with.

Mr. Smucky, listen, the computer career is passé, it's over. You could make good money during the 80s and 90s but after that it's basically just a blue collar job. Now there are armies of disgusting Indians (who also must be in the US for some reason) that does the programming. If you are white, forget computer work.

Now, it's not all bad news because where I live there is one business that is booming and that is horses. Yes.

HORSES

There are more horses than ever and apparently it's big business as they let tons of people ride those horses. How many little girls like horses? Yes, almost all of them and that's where the money is. You can start your own horse business. You just have to think outside the box and forget this computer stuff that destroys your life. Horses are life.

Spent most of the day trying to find a dentist because after my nap, one of my fillings fell out while eating a chunk of cheese.

What kind of filling? plastic or amalgam?

It was some kind of silver blob.

That's called amalgam. It shrinks over time and have a tendency to pop out.

Rolled out of bed yesterday and sort of just went straight to a new dentist. My old dentist closed doors during covid. He sent out a letter recommending a place down the street but the first time I took they family there it was clear they were going to "examine" us until they found something to charge us for. They wanted both of our kids to be referred to an orthodontist. As for me and my wife, they wanted us in braces. I had braces as a teenager and told them I aint doing that crap again. But they insisted that if we went with "invisalign" that it would be easy. They told my wife that even though her teeth were straight, that they were starting to "lean" inwards which would mean they would start "breaking off" as she aged Nonetheless, we never went back there and that was over a year ago. So I took this need for replacing a filling to hunt around for a more traditional dentist and not some scam place pushing the latest products.
And I did find one. It is somewhat new and located on the side of a gas station that was recently built ( ) Like this new gas station was set up kind of like a strip mall, where you got the main building with the gas station in the center but on either end of this building were offices/suites that were being rented out. One was a small pizza shop on one end, the other end was this dental office, which has a tiny lobby and a back room with one dental chair. The next office/suite over just had a window on the side of the building because it was a "drive through" liquor store ( )
The "dentist" is a 55-60 year old woman from Belarus. She was open on Sunday but she was the only one there in the office. I spent 10 minutes filling out all the paper work, then she took a look, did a little "zip zip" with the drill, then smashed some porcelain goop in the filling hole with her finger, hit it with the UV gun and sent me on my way for $60. Hope it stays in for 20 years like the last one I asked if she does cleanings and stuff which she does. She told me my teeth are fine, no need for her to clean them. To which I responded that I'd like to bring the whole family in soon so we scheduled that for Friday. She seemed very "meh" about the whole thing. Still kind of processing what exactly has transpired

[Smucky]

After the dentist, spent most of the day on the tractor moving more freshly baled hay around.

[Smucky]

Got a rejection later from DuckDuckGo Kind of surprised with that one, spent like two hours answering the three questions of "why do you want to work here,etc" and figured that would have set me apart. hmm

[Smucky]

Also my resume has my old university email address which I use only for job hunting but I just noticed yesterday that it is no longer forwarding mail sent to it so I might have really screwed myself

[Smucky]

Blah. Was going to apply at more places today but instead I just looked at softcore for 10 hours Now I'm going to go rape my wife.

[Smucky]

Wife rape went well knees are still weak and my balls hurt

[Smucky]

Got a rejection from Nvidia

[Smucky]

Was debating on applying again at DuckDuckGo only using my middle name + last name. But looking at their linkedin page, seems it is actually a pretty small team of people. Would be hard for me to hide and do little work, which is my goal. So I guess I'll pass
