Quiet quitting, and lying flat ... cute memes. I'm a bit more of a loud quitter who likes to stay busy on work that interests me. After spending most of the 90s trying to impress people, I pretty much figured it wasn't worth continuing down that track, and aimed for a B-average GPA when I got to college in 2001, so that I could focus on more important things like having fun. I accidentally learnt a few things I didn't expect to. But oh well, win some, win some. I guess just being lazy and holding that trajectory is what keeps me from being excited about being employed, getting VC, etc. I pretty much decided to do only what is easy, and I spend less energy jumping for people, it's more fun if they're jumping for me. And if no one's looking for me, I plan my life around minimum wage, and stay happy. Every day is a good day to die, and there is very little need to make life more complicated than that, I suppose.
This week, lexical semantics is kicking my ass. I simply avoided memorising the parts of speech when they were in my 8th grade Malay textbook ... as it wasn't a significant part of our grades. But now I am trying to learn more math, and for that I am trying to write an all-encompassing programming language, and for that I need to study linguistics, and for that ... well there we go ... back where we started ... middle-school grammar.
Kicking my ass.
