wrong riddles, and a melted baseball tarp
it's past 7 pm on a wednesday. the screen of this exchange platform is searing into my retinas. i don't even know why i am typing here.
the entirety of july has just been a blur of mind-numbing text. high point panthers. hawaii warriors. de'von achane jerseys. just endless structured inputs for sports apparel nobody actually wants. i was looking at my own profile bio earlier. "a sports-loving individual who enjoys life". what a complete fabrication. i don't even know what life is anymore outside of html tags and cursed seo scores.
and earlier today the manager had another absolute meltdown. he said i forgot the image folder organization names for the soccer jersey blogs. again. like the algorithm actually gives a single damn if it's named or just img01. so there it is. i hope the database is happy.
now it's jordan montgomery. arizona diamondbacks. i'm supposed to talk about specific product characteristics. let's talk about the so-called "fabric breathability". it is a total lie. this jersey is a thick, suffocating synthetic tarp that will trap every ounce of your body heat. and the cleaning instructions? you must hand-wash it inside out in freezing cold water. if you put this garbage in a warm washing machine, the cheap plastic numbers will instantly melt into a permanent, sticky mess.
i tried to take a break yesterday. asked an ai to solve a simple riddle about a game. it gave me a completely incorrect answer. i had to sit there and explicitly tell a machine that it was wrong. what is the point of any of this? even the artificial intelligence is too stupid to function. quel est le type de permanent arrivant en jeu avec X marqueurs loyauté? a planeswalker. i just want my spark to ignite so i can planeswalk out of this miserable apartment.
i'm just gonna go lie down on the cold kitchen tiles and wait for tomorrow.
