never a dull moment in jae’s life
anyways first of all I wanna check in with you, how have you been? take a minute to take in your surroundings, ground yourself and take some deep breaths :)
I’ve been practicing mindfulness a lot more lately, I used to be really sceptical of all that stuff but I’ve actually been finding it useful these days
…
it’s been a while since we’ve done one of these but it’s that time again….
ELECTRIC ENERGY STREAMING UPDATE‼️‼️‼️
Jesus. Christ.
I’m in too deep Kev, I can’t stop
I’ve literally conditioned myself to only be able to sleep if electric energy is playing
what can I say, moonbae vocals serenade me into somewhat restful sleep
that’s talent!
let’s do some quick math.
35,000 minutes adds up to 583 hours, or 24 DAYS. ALMOST A MONTH. OF ONLY ELECTRIC ENERGY.
you know I wouldn’t even be offended if you called me insane at this point because I simply have to agree.
I am crazy but I am free. Nobody will take my crown.
I hope you and jacob are proud of me :>
…
also whatever alice tells you about me, it’s a lie don’t listen to her ok (she’s threatening me)
cool we cool we good 👍

I had a mortifying experience at work yesterday 🤠
so my main day job is managing the AV for broadcasts at a uh,,, well known and rather important organisation,,,, you know how it goes
Well yesterday was just a standard event that was being broadcast, and instead of having a REAL audio console, this goddamn building runs everything off IPADS on QSYS. (Qsys is essentially an AV broadcast integration system run over network, similar to Dante in a lot of ways)
Anyways IPADS. When I started working there I was,,,, confused,,, with the hardware choice but whatever we live and we learn. It usually works fine.
Except today.
Midway through a speech, bloody SIRI starts BLASTING from this thing, as I’m monitoring audio levels.
WERE YOU INVITED SIRI??!? NOOOOO.
It was so loud it made it to the broadcast, and that’s impressive when you consider the mics being sent to broadcast were on the other end of the room.
Mortified Kevin, I was mortified.
Siri is meant to be disabled on the control surfaces for this exact reason idfk why or how this happened SMHHH
my boss was also baffled, so I feel less like an idiot for not knowing wtf happened, cuz if he don’t know I’m not meant to know 🤠
my friends found it hella funny cuz you can see my face in the back go 🙂😟😨😱 as it kept going
Yikes. Not my best moment.
You know, nothing will top me quite literally breaking my leg in front of 5000 AusRail executives and staff back in 2022 and all of them laughing at me
STORYTIME
I used to work at a convention centre in a different city lol, also an audio tech, fun stuff~
Anyways, this was a massive AusRail conference, and the great hall was packed. I had to quickly retrieve a mic from stage as the batteries were dying, so I thought it would be a quick “go on stage, grab mic, yeet outta there” thing right?
not with my clumsy ass.
I got on stage right, grabbed the mic, it was all going so well
until I tripped over a foldback speaker.
and it wasn’t one of those round edged ones, like jbl eons or whatever, these were some ancient speakers with hard 90° angles, which are rather pointy
especially when your shin hits it
I don’t think it was me tripping that made people laugh, it was more that I went 😮👀 when it happened
you know what I mean
anyways I got back to my operating desk with the video guys, they’re pissing themselves laughing, and it was at this point that I realised I was actually bleeding….
yea I fractured it. Did I take any time off work? No. Did i even tell my boss? No. Did i continue to work on it without splints etc? Yeaaahhh…..
did I fracture it again in the exact same spot by ramming a 250kg packer of stage lights into my shin 3 months later? Yes….
Did I take any time off work then either?? Nope.
I’m built different I guess (I was broke and didn’t know about workers compensation)
Genius plays on my part.
…
I think that’s enough for my sorta weekly check in~
I hope you’re doing well kev, we’re so lucky to have you, please take care of yourself, not for us but for yourself, because you deserve to feel loved 💕
Please don’t feel pressured to come back on bubble or whatever until you want to, keys are in your hand my guy, and the real ones of us out here respect that
that’s all from me~~ thanks for reading! Sleep well 💕
lol bye
