Getting more into data analysis and manipulation through tools like Tableau.  Super happy to be building such a marketable skillset that could really land me onto something cool in the future. Unfortunately I've stayed at this job unhappy for way too long and have reached a breaking point, I am staying for the resume builder but every day feels like moving through cement

cool stuff. get into R and Python as well.

My Husband is a Senior(?) Admin for Tableau. If you need any help with it PM me and i’ll see what I can do to help you out. But as stated learn Python and R. I’d have to ask my husband but I think Django and Ruby/Grapefruit are N/A now.
[close]

I need to learn Python and/or C but both are for bastardized niche other languages that are based on them and I can barely speak english which is my only language so this is all a bit overwhelming for me.

I´d recommend python if you have no prior programming experience because memory management is a bitch. I´m curious, what are those "bastardized niche other languages"?

My grandma was the 'illegitimate' child of a baron.
 
She recently died and so did a pretty famous baroness nearby in our area...

Not knowing they (grandma and baroness) were actually related, my mom just received a letter from the court that she'll be inheriting a huge castle. Ab-so-lute-ly Enormous to honest...

We used to play around the land as kids and go for walks around the castle with school and stuff.


Supercool, but she owes the government 200 grand before she can 'inherit' it...

JESUS. That's insane!

You could start a GoFundMe and then invite the donors over for free room and board.

Amazing, man. Hope things are getting better with you and your partner as well.

Yeah that's absolutely nuts. You deserve it after the year you've had though, hope you can sort out the taxes.

Spent my whole salary in 10 days of getting it. Now I have nearly three weeks before my next pay check...

Stoked that I had fun spending all that money but not stoked on that I only have oatmeal and lentils to eat for the rest of the month... ...choices choices...

I don't know what to do with myself. Money and I don't fit in the same city. One of us has to go and it's always the money... Any tips on how to get my financials in check? Thankfully I don't have any credit cards because I would be dead.. It's like nothing can stop me spending and usually it's stupid stuff like buying drinks to everyone when partying or going out for dinner when I have say 50€ left on my bank account and I know that I need that money to survive the next week or so... Fucking weird like I don't care for myself..

Sorry for the rant but I needed to vent it out somewhere..

I can't stay inside too long the walls will collapse on me.. Last winter I didn't see anyone in three months...

The problem isn't booze or going out or maybe a little with not staying home. Its about how I always find a way to spend it all..

Try working with your bank to put x amount in an account that you don't have a card to.  Savings works but sometimes even a separate entirely "travel" account is better.  Let's say you throw 100 dollars automatically each week or if you want, put a lump sum right after pay period.  Just the fact you have to do a couple extra steps to get the money makes some time to consider whether or not you want to spend it.

I knew someone that would cash their checks and literally put money into separate white envelopes that were set aside for rent, food, bills, going out money, and then a little for savings. It ended up working well for him.

I did this about 2 years ago and built up a pretty decent amount just due to the fact that i didn't want to transfer it around. it definitely works and after a few checks you don't even think about that money that's going over.

what really helped me get on a track back in the day was to start buying everything in cash. i would take X amount out for the week and thats all i would allow myself. physically having money with me and giving it away made it much more apparent what i was doing and actually made it harder to spend on frivolous stuff.

All of this helps, in addition to just making an overall effort to eat out / go out to bars less by planning a bit more. The envelopes thing someone mentioned has helped a lot too. I'm usually the same way about money but with some practice and forgoing some things here and there it can get better.

My dad told me when I was 16 and got my first house(rented) and job.

"If you cant afford it on one weeks pay, you cant afford it. Only exceptions is a house and car. Dont be fuckin stupid"

That stuck with me. And I own everything I have including my house,  2 vehicles and a commercial grow lol

The one I'm thinking of in particular is called VEX specifically how it's applied in a FX application called Houdini. It's based on C but specifically how it works within Houdini. As far as I understand it. Python is useful in there too but it does different stuff than VEX.

Stoked to actually get out and go skating and bring a friend out of his comfort zone and try a new spot.

Not stoked that I got worked.

I had a brief look at the documentations and you can scratch my last comment since memory management will probably not bother you. You are indeed right that the python and c interfaces are doing different stuff within houdini. Start by learning general programming concepts. They are more or less the same across programming languages. I have seen there is a beginner video tutorial for VEX which states that no prior programming experience is needed. Maybe you can start there.

Also english is the best language one can speak when trying to learn programming because you have the most resources online and always remember:

"Even the most experienced programmers google the most basic stuff ... daily" and "Everyone is just cooking with water"

I'm stoked that I got through some personal losses, moved to a better apartment / area, and picked up enough consistent side work that I don't have to uber/give plasma.

I'm not stoked on the creeping anxiety that something worse is going to happen to me once I get "comfortable".

That feeling is horrible. Chin up.

Stoked that I ran into "Do a kickflip" with Eric Koston on YouTube and that it amused me some. Not stoked that it's on the Berrics channel and aimed at children.
Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

Those past few months after I broke up with my ex I had really been letting myself go and neglecting my place, I guess I was too busy with work, paperwork, and then just smoking and skating to try to get my mind off everything that I just stopped cleaning up after myself for a while and my apartment was trying to turn into some hoarder's shit (coincidentally I had just helped my mother move into her new house too, and got dozens of boxes of stuff from my childhood back, which I just left laying around, that didn't help with the looks). I was aware of my environment starting to look like shit but I think I was in a mental state where I was stuck, thought I still controlled everything but in reality it was all only giving me more and more anxiety that was creeping in, like shit I'll have to take care of around the house later that I'd just keep stacking in the back of my mind due to complete lack of energy and drive. Anyway yesterday a chick texted me she was in town and would be down to hang out tonight, instantly something just clicked and I spent five hours doing everything around the house I possibly could. Now my shit finally is impeccable again and all my anxiety is gone, I feel super liberated and somehow like I'm starting something anew, like I was just digesting the end of my relationship that whole time.

Not stoked on how I guess I did let myself slip a little for a while and mostly just seeing how much of a dark place I found myself in to the point where I just couldn't see myself do even elementary, fundamental mundane tasks. And on how I still need to do the fucking dishes, but a lot of it are items that used to belong to my ex which I think is why I was postponing touching them, in reality I'm just tempted to throw everything away and buy new dishes at this point.

It's all so stupid but I feel like looking like a mark on SLAP will motivate me to keep kicking myself in the ass and going.

Just went through the aforementioned dishes, took almost two hours because I just had that much to catch up with, but now I finally feel like a free man.

It's funny to me because I've always been responsible and, while not a clean freak, I've always taken care about myself as well as my ex back when she lived here because she had a mental condition, needed every day attention and couldn't work or really do anything. I guess once she dipped I just kind of broke down and started not giving a shit and just fucking around. But that shit catches up to you real quick in ways you don't really expect, I feel like I'm almost coming out of a depression now that my place is fucking pristine again. Now all I need to do is get up to date with paperwork and today's work and my mind will be completely set free.

Yeah I strongly encourage you to boost your fucking ass, I really had to do it for myself this time but in reality it's actually so easy to force yourself to get into the tasks without thinking twice about it, as soon as you feel a spark of motivation use it to get everything over with and finally feel good again instead of living with a memory bank of drags. I lived for weeks with shit in my head I could have done without (but didn't have the strength to kick), so stupid. Now I'll make sure not to let this type of stuff catch up to me again when it's so easy to take care of on the daily.
