In my previous post, Gotta die as an overwork labor, you know that I’m gotta go win a hackathon because I don’t have any other choice. And today is the day before the hackathon, and you can already see how different my day looks today.
My usual goal for the hackathon is to put as much free food as possible in my stomach because I’m poor. But now, I need to win the hackathon, I crazily slacked 10+ people to find our next cash cows since the morning and had online calls with potential teammates. Let me tell you, I don’t think I’m good at engineering, but I’m very good at pitching myself so I even got startup founders who wanted me to join them. They all said, “You exceeded the qualifications.” I don’t want to join them. If they think I’m qualified, I think their startups are in great trouble.
Damn, now my flatmate is knocking on my door to talk about the use case for tomorrow’s hackathon. I’ll take a leave now.

Thank God he left. I have a secret to tell you. I’ve realized that I don’t want to get married like I always do anymore. If I have to date and get married, I won’t have time to work with my flatmates. I’d rather focus on survival than have a lovey-dovey life. I want my flatmate to get married sooner than I do. To be quite frank, it’s not that I don’t think about dating, I’m not even thinking about any of my friends right now. My relationship with my flatmate is more intense than a honeymoon couple. Today, we worked together. on finding teammates in a hackathon. When we got lunch, we talked about hackathon ideas. Even when we went to a comedy show in the evening, I needed to go with him, because I didn’t have time to schedule it with other friends. And during the comedy, he was slacking on other teammates.
Currently, the best way I’m comforting myself is to miss my ex, and I only have to shower time to do so, because my ex doesn’t give a shit about working, and also complains whenever she needs to work. I never feel so strong to get back with my ex as now. I think if one day I started to contact her or feel emotional about our relationship, I will actually find it pretty healthy because it means that I’m not only working or thinking about work.
Dear readers, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to write for the next two days because of this hackathon. You may wonder why I don’t opt out, but the truth is I am jobless and need the money from the hackathon. As they say, beggars can’t be choosers.
If you are kind enough, please leave a message below so I can get some emotional support for the next two days.
This is the 24th post from my 30-day writing challenges. I was inspired by Tung Nguyen, a friend who is a famous blogger. He overcame the fear of creation through mass-producing blogs and eventually found his own niche audiences.
