High Low

[Silverstone the SecondParticipant]

When I was little, there’s this game played, and dad would ask all the kids about their HIGH LOW. Basically it happened at dinner and they would ask the high point of our day, something good that happened and the low point of our day, something bad that happened. It was just a way to get the kids talking and have some family conversation going on. It got me thinking, since going mgtow, I’ve had better highs and better lows, which is to say: the good things in my life are always better, and the bad things have been made not so bad. My dad would try to do this almost every day, but that never really happened as he worked a 70hr job, but I’d like to share my high low.

HIGH

Recently I went to get certified to operate larger cranes for my job. My company sent myself and three other driver/operators to get certified. This means I’ll be making more money, about 25-30 bucks an hour depending on contract it is, and even overtime if the contract permits. I’m 22, and this is nuts for me! I went from making $8.50 to $10.00 to $15.00 and now there’s another huge leap. As it turns out, working your dick into the dirt pays off! I never thought I’d be able to do this without a college degree, but I’m very happy.

LOW

Despite my best efforts to keep my car going, it has died last thursday. Even so, It has tought me a great deal about how to maintain cars and work on them to save money and all that. So I guess you can call this low a good. I try to see the good in everything, TRY to anyway, and there’s something that can be learned after all.

So, I’d like to do this from time to time to share about myself and churn up some discussion. Recently I see a lot of us focusing on red pill rage and all the f~~~ed up things, so I’d like to help put things into perspective. Please share 😀

Hey Silver, i think this is a good idea, appreciate your throwing it out there.

First off, congrats for your “high point” – learning new skills is an absolute must in the current & future economy, and it’s a huge part in my personal MGTOW philosophy. I always want to be improving, and if that means someone’s going to pay me more $$$ to do it, all the better!

My own high point was waking up, lazing in bed for a bit (Saturday’s really the only day i can do that), and mentally running through two performance routines that i’m doing on-stage tomorrow. I figure if i can do them when i just wake up, without coffee, i’m good. The performances are tomorrow, it’s my first time getting onstage for something like this, and it’s supposed to be a crowd of >500 people, but i feel pretty confident.

Low point’s that i’m still getting over a cold – congestion, coughing, etc. – but even then, felt 2x better than yesterday. So even that cloud has a silver lining.

Good deal, bro. Can I ask what it’s for? Do you do theater or is it a job presentation? Also, I know, Saturdays are the only days I can lay around, and sometimes I work on them, so it’s always nice to bum around, it feels well earned 😀

They’re latin dance performances. One for salsa, the other bachata.

I originally got in to latin dancing post-divorce, when i was looking for something to “fill the time.” It’s strange though, i instantly connected with it. I’m logical enough that the musicality/math made a lot of sense to me, but this weird idea of “leading a woman” was totally foreign – that plus learning something new in public was *way* out of my comfort zone! Hell of a lot of fun though. Been doing it for over a year now & f~~~ing love it.

If you’re not familiar with either dance, a few examples:

Salsa:

Bachata:

How do you kick back on your Saturdays?

Good on you mate! (Any female crane operators at your sites? I’m guessing no.)

The cost of the tools you need, the exact ones, and the new parts (and a manual of course) will be about the cost of having a mechanic do it all for you. From then on, you have the skills and tools to fix the bloody thing the next time it dies.

High: New tenant signed the papers yesterday. Rental will not lose a day’s rent. Previous tenant will pay for cleaning and repair out of his damage deposit.
Low: A new DVD won’t play in my machine for some reason. (Oh well, back to the store it goes.) Also, the dog made a mess, but this is such a common event, that I don’t even think about it.

Great idea Silverstone and congratulations to everyone for their “highs”. Here is my High/Low from Friday, December 11th.

High: Had a consulting proposal accepted which will result in a project that lasts at least through the middle of 2016. Apart from the work, what makes it gratifying is that the company in question decided to pull the trigger in December. As many of you know, in corporations very few decisions are made between Thanksgiving and New Years. While everyday work goes on, the ‘front office” uses the holiday season tio wrap up the old year instead of planning for the new one. I never expect a proposal to be accepted during the holidays. Which brings me to my low…

Low: A current client sent back my final reports for what are minor re-writes. They been paying their fees during the project and the re-writes will be billed for too, so I’m not out any money. The project completion payment has now been delayed until mid-January however and that’s nice chunk of money. The real reason for the re-writes is what I mentioned above: the holiday season. The holidays mean my client hasn’t been able to put together the meeting or meetings required to accept the final report, so they’ve bounced it back to me to gain themselves some time. I’m still getting paid and I’ll get a little more thanks to the additional re-write costs, but now I’ve got to “disassemble” the entire package and “reassemble” it over the next few weeks.

No rest for the wicked, i supposed. 😉

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

Not feeling that confident in my fitness for my army exam on Tuesday and then the off-chance I fail at that then being continually lost with what career direction to go for.

I used to Salsa dance! But Cuban salsa rather than (judging by your username) New York salsa – I wish I could join my old class again but I just can’t afford it right now 🙁

Having a fairly decent year, not too much drama, and having Bambi’s mother in the freezer on the first day of hunting.

The drama always seems to cost me money. Ironically, the drama (outside of paying for it), had nothing to do with me.

What are you trying to infer? I could guess, but I’m pretty sure you’re not trying to take an inflammatory blue pill shaming stance.

Hey man that’s pretty cool. I tried Rueda de Casino a couple times, but wasn’t crazy about it. NY-style (On2) is pretty awesome, and i’ve done a bit of On1 also – really in to it! Hopefully you get back to your Cuban crew once things settle down a bit.

Any particular part of the fitness exam? How much time do you have to prepare?

[Puffin StuffParticipant 25021]

Agreed, positivity and negativity are value judgments. I’ve been told for many years to only entertain positive thoughts and that would lead to happiness. I tried and it only got in the way of the truth.

I don’t personally believe in this.

I believe in truth, truth I can prove or infer logically.

You know what they say, “The truth will set you free”.

OK. Just wanted to make sure, it genuinely sounded like something else, that’s all.
