This is kind of more of a blog, but I feel like I should make an update.

I earned about $1 today (converting from rubles). I'm not sure how it sounds to an American. I recently counted that eating economically (but healthily) I need $6-10 a day, maybe that makes sense...

Interestingly, my manager could easily completely sabotage me by giving me the sort of work I got today, so I'd basically earn nothing while putting in normal hours. They haven't so far (I also asked for work I could complete until tomorrow when I have to send in the monthly report... but it could have been $10-15).

On the slightly more positive side I'm working on completely rearranging the song. I suspect that I've become simply too used to the old arrangement so it doesn't excite me, but it also has to do with how limited the instruments are in the free Noteflight version. But I don't want to subscribe right now because my card expires and getting reissued in just a couple days. Until then I have to be optimistic and hope that the paid instruments sound amazing.

Anyway, I hope it's going better with you. I kind of feel more and more fortunate, because on many days I don't even have to go outside so I don't have to face any upsetting interactions, and I can come here to manage loneliness. I mean, not everyone has that... Maybe I could at least go to the General Social Chat section, because I'm feeling more and more out of place here. Do you ever post there?
