Data4's Journal

hey data,

i know that pain really well, i had some major tooth work done last year, and i got some vicodin, i do not take stuff often, so first time I took vicodin i felt like i was high and loved the feeling.

Get yourself to a dentist and get that tooth taken care of and feel better!

This is going to be fun. I went to bed last night at 8:00 PM. After tossing and turning for an hour, I got up, stepped outside to smoke, then came back in. 9:15, back to bed. 12:30, I woke up with my face on fire. The painkillers wore off, and the antibiotics are still building in my system. Got up, took two Vicodin and 4 ibuprofen (800 mgs worth). Stuck a heatpad in the microwave to warm it up and got back in bed by 1:00. Didn’t get back to sleep, so after making some coffee, having a smoke, and throwing the clothes in the dryer, here I sit at 2:15 AM, dreading my first day at my new location.

As I mentioned before, I’ll be wearing an A314 and Instant Honesty combo. I’ll report on it, including dosage when I get home. Assuming I make it. LOL! Pray to the gods of keeping insomniacs awake on the road that I get home okay, will yas? :smiley:

Yeah, I’m also dealing with a broken tooth that needs to get fixed. I’ve put it off and put it off.

It doesn’t bother me, which is the scary part. Since it doesn’t bother me, I’m guessing the nerve is shot and I’m inevitably headed to root canal city.

Sad thing is, if you ever read a survey about women, they really place a high value on good dental hygiene.

Good luck with the tooth and job, data!

Okay, application was 4 drops of A314 - 1 to chin, 1 split on wrists, behind ears, and inner elbows. Two sprays of IH 2x – 1 on each forearm.

The day dragged, mainly because of the lack of sleep. Not really eventful, as we got the grand tour of the place. I got to sit in the cockpit of a brand-spanking-new 737-800 New Generation. I’m pretty sure that was the source behind the raging boner and not some kind of phero self effect. :smiley:

Interesting factoid: Brand new airplanes have New Car smell, too.

Interactions were pretty limited. My group and I spent the day with a trainer, who did the tour and showed us the various work areas. People in the areas were so focussed on their jobs that all they had time for was a nod or quick “How ya doing?” I shook hands with a few managers throughout the day, and those seemed pleasant enough. They weren’t really around long enough to stay in my phero cloud, so I’m thinking my establishing my A314 base “aura” here will be a cumulative thing.

That’s basically it. Going to be wearing the same thing all week, and I’ll keep reporting as things happen.

Hey Data - just checking in - I have not been following your journal as close as I should have. You are doing a great job - with the pheromones and reporting, getting yourself back together after the divorce, and I’ll add my “Thanks” for the work you do with the Raptor.

My comment to those who complain about the cost and say we have enough of an “advantage” using our current aircraft and the extra advantage of the F-22 does not justify the cost:

You can only say that because you do not have the guts to be up there flying them into combat. If it were you or your kids up there in the plane facing someone else who wanted to kill you/them, then you would be screaming for every technological advantage possible.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks, Boss! I’ve moved on to commercial airplanes now. Building 737 wings specifically. Boy, do I miss my old job!

However…

I’m getting some really good A314 hits. I haven’t posted in a couple of days because this new schedule I’m on has me so loopy, I come home, sit down, and fall asleep. Instantly. Today, I decided to pick up a ridiculously large can of Monster Energy Drink, and… well… here I am.

Anyway, the hits. Of the three of us in training, I’m the only one the trainer has general, non work related conversations with. We just shoot the breeze on any topic that seems to happen by. With the other guys, it’s strictly business. Yesterday, we had an orientation meeting to go over area specific policies, evacuation plans, etc., and the whole time, the HR guy going over it was looking directly at me. It was like we were the only two people there and the presentation was strictly for my benefit. It kinda freaked me out, because there were other new people working in different sections that attended the meeting. About a dozen of us in all.

Interactions with random people feature strong eye contact, lots of conversational feedback (nodding, saying “uh-huh”, etc.) and what appears to be a genuine show of interest in what I have to say, even if it’s something dumb like “Gee, I wonder if when those ducks see all these new airplanes coming out of the building, they get a serious inferiority complex?”

So far, things are going as good as they can, all things considered, but I still want to use this base combo for another week or so to get the signature firmly set. Unfortunately, there aren’t a whole lot of women working in the area, and the few who do look like they… well… let’s just say they aren’t very attractive and leave it at that, shall we? I sure do miss my old shop!

Hey data4, good stuff on the stripper pheromone test thread. I left a lengthy response in there, please take a look, appreciate any feedback.

Great results with A314. That is the beauty of that sweet little product.

Joseph_25, sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, but I checked the thread and it looks like Mark hooked you up nicely.

Boss, I’ve definitely gained a newfound respect for A314, and I’ve discovered the best situation to use it in with this job change, which brings me to…

A314 Week 1, New Environment Summary

Want to see how good this stuff is? Try it in a new environment. With people who already know you, you’re fighting against a preconception of how you are. Unless your natural “aura”, for lack of a better word, matches what A314 does for you, it’s an uphill battle. If, on the other hand, you find yourself in a new environment, with new people who don’t know you already, and you want to make the best possible impression, you’re in for a treat.

First, I want to contrast my previous job with my new one, to demonstrate the situation I found myself in, and why it’s crucial that I start off with a good, strong, and assertive leg.

My old job had me working in an ISO certified clean room environment (basically, very little free-floating contaminates in the air), that was fairly quiet and slow paced. My peers were a majority female and older, though there were some guys there. Our work was on the meticulous side, as our function was to develop new aircraft manufacturing methods with cutting-edge materials. Basically, we figured out the “how”, and left the fast paced work to those who would take what we developed and start doing it en masse.

My new job consists of the other side-- the “doing it en masse” part. We’re building 737s, specifically the wings in my area, and it’s a delicate balancing act of working as fast as possible, while being as precise as possible. The environment is loud, dirty, crowded, and chock full of testosterone. It’s mostly male-populated, though there are a few women around. Every guy seems to be burly, alpha types, so the impetus on the newcomer is to achieve a level of respect as quickly as possible in order to fit in. Now, this isn’t to say you have to do the whole prison thing of finding the biggest guy on the cell block and kick his ass or anything like that. Instead, you have to carry yourself with a sort of cool confidence; make sure when you shake hands, you give a firm grip and look the other guy directly in the eye; pick up on the techniques of the job, and so on.

For me, I’m in training, so I have to make the best effort to learn what I’m being taught, minimize the screwups, and keep my wits about me. It seems simple enough, but the environment makes it all seem pretty intimidating. It’s pure industry in motion. You’ve got the constant machine gun sound of riveters on one side, the warning horn from the overhead crane going above, the whirl-grind sounds of drills, and people running around like ants on dead bird. Then there’s the mental pressure. The work you do must be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. No exceptions. These wings are going to be flying at up to 38,000 feet, over 500 mph, and carrying 200+ human beings, so there’s no such thing as “good enough”.

So, with all that, my job is to first of all, be prepared. I have to put myself in a mental state where I CAN learn to do the job, CAN produce the perfection that our Quality Assurance demands, and CAN treat my coworkers with the respect due them for being able to do that themselves.

That part is definitely 90% or more my responsibility. The A314 helps to augment that by producing the vibe. This isn’t a “set it and forget it” thing. You can’t just put on a few drops and expect it to do all the work. However, it does seem to give a boost to the unspoken aspects of interaction. There ARE pheromones involved, of course, so as long as you’re playing the part, they’ll play theirs.

So with that said, I think this is the biggest indicator I’ve seen that A314 is worth every penny. I’ve always regarded it as a mainstay in my pheromone collection, but this just solidifies it.

-D4

That environment sounds much more demanding than your previous task, and if I might venture to guess, it sounds like you have less room for experimenting with unusual pheromone mixes.

Very true. And to think I considered my previous job limited in terms of pheromone testing! I’m not going to deviate from the mix I’ve been wearing, which is 4 drops of A314 and 2 sprays of IH for work. I’ll save the experimenting for after work. Looks like I need a social life now. Ha! Gonna be interesting since once I get out of training, I’ll be working a mandatory 2 weekends on, 1 weekend off schedule. That’s 19 days in a row without an off day. The off weekend will probably be spent sleeping.

Data, you are interested in binaural beats, so I thought I might ask you… Have you ever tried pulse entrainment? There’s a piece of software out there called Neuro-Programmer 2 made by Transparent corporation, it costs about $55 dollars or so, and lets you listen to, or creat, just about any kind of hypnosis or guided meditation session you could want. You can also get Mind Stereo for a little bit more with it, that lets you run songs through a pulse filter, or add binaural beats.

In my admittedly limited experience, pulse entrainment works better than binaural beats for some things. Binaural beats are very good for brain synchronization, but according to what I read, pulses evoke higher responses in the brain.

Also, gamma pulses are an interesting experience. One researcher found that Tibetan monks practicing tummo, a meditation on compassion cultivation (this is also the meditation where monks can sit in the cold snow or dry out wet sheets), their brains generated alot of gamma waves. In my experience it’s a very uplifting, focused feeling, and is a good break from delta or theta waves.

About A314, I would be concerned about causing friction on the job, it is something to look for. Peoples lives will depend on the function of your work environment. So keep an eye on what A314 does in that situation. If people came to resent you or fear you, it might cause peoples egos to get in the way of the overall goal. I also think it depends on what your position will be in that job environment, too.

I’ve heard of Neuroprogrammer, but never tried it. I’ve also heard of pulsed beats, but don’t know enough about them. I should probably check Wiki, as it sounds interesting. Would I be correct in assuming that pulse beats don’t require headphones to listen to?

Regarding A314, I’m not so worried about it working overboard. The formula itself is well balanced, making the little bit of androstenone in it nice and docile. Plus, the 2 shots of IH I’m using with it also softens whatever rough edges remain. So far, the results have been nothing but positive. I haven’t rubbed anyone the wrong way, and vice versa. I’ve even been able to introduce my quirky sense of humor, which was a huge worry for me. I can’t operate and stay sane without being able to laugh once in awhile.

Case in point:

Assistant trainer: “I noticed you’ve got an accent… where ya from?”
Me: “Georgia.”
AT: “Ah, Georgia, huh? So… you into sisters? Cousins?”
Me: “Hey, watch it buddy… we Southerners might be known for keeping it in the family, but we NEVER fuck our livestock!”
AT: “Okay, okay, you got me there.. <laughs>”

Reference this article to get the joke: The Seattle Times: Local News: Videotapes show bestiality, Enumclaw police say

That was yesterday morning. By the afternoon, he was having me repeat that to damned near everyone we talked to, because he thought it was hilarious. Thankfully, none of those people were from Enumclaw, WA. Hehe…

-D4

That is correct, pulsed beats do not need headphones. You can also do things with them, like entrain the sides of the brain seperately. Definitely don’t listen to them when you drive or operate machinery, though.

There are other ways to entrain the brain, such as pulsed filters, pitch modulation, and so forth (also in the program). Pitch modulation seems to be effective as well. Anything that creates a rythmic beat that has multiple beats per second. One thing you really cannot do is mix beats in the same ear at the same time, it doesn’t really work, it leads to additive type effects. Low frequency carrier waves can also cause “freaky” type feelings in some people, too. Think of the Monolith scene in 2001, a low but ethereal type sound that really seems to do things to your head. I may have to make up a custom delta session with a higher frequency carrier wave.

Southern accent? I didn’t really notice it on your recordings you have shared. Most people from Atlanta don’t seem to have much of one. Maybe it’s very subtle.

Mine has always been subtle, and you’re right, Atlantans generally have less of an accent than people from the rural areas. Native Washingtonians have a completely neutral accent, so to them, even the subtle ones are pretty distinct. Plus, the more tired I get, the more of a drawl I have.

-D4

How do native californians sound? I’ve heard we’re pretty neutral as well.

Californians sound like Californians :slight_smile: (I was born in California, BTW… but the only thing I remember are brief snippets… such as Disneyland. I remember going on the 20,000 Leagues ride as an infant, and a few other things).

Everybody has an accent. It’s a myth there is “no” accent, although there is a standard accent that broadcast TV and radio try to use, that is based somewhat on a mid-Atlantic accent.

Data, I was re-reading your transcript that you had with that acquaintance of yours (Sarah). Honestly, it does sound like you are somewhat self-conscious. Out of curiosity, how old is Sarah, how is she in terms of emotional maturity? I get the feeling from reading just the words, she wasn’t taking you all that seriously and might have even been a bit creeped out. This may not reflect on you, so much as it does on her.

Pain is a normal part of life. People that can’t share other peoples pain and at least lend an ear, that’s a bad sign. You were honest with her, and it seems like she didn’t catch on. Who knows, maybe I have unreasonably high standards for people, but don’t give up if this is what you want to do. Perhaps next time in your approach, apologize for nothing that doesn’t involve her in some way. If you honestly don’t believe what you do is wrong, and it doesn’t hurt her, don’t apologize for it.

Have you ever tried TAK, too?

Heh, that doesn’t help much..I’m sure depending on what part of california you’re in, we’d sound a bit different anyways.

Everyone down here seems to LOVE Disneyland. Call me too serious, but I’ll reserve that for when I’ve actually got kids to take there…or maybe with a bunch of cute girls..I’d be okay with that. :smiley:

Here in Orlando they just raised the prices to about $75 dollars a day… ouch. I haven’t been to Disney in years. My favorite ride is probably the Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Carribean.

Lots of locals, mostly non-natives, spend alot of their time and money at the theme parks for their recreation, which doesn’t make alot of sense to me. But then, I guess if that was what you wanted to do, Orlando would be the perfect place to live.
