Within the past 24 hours I have been offered a seasonal (i.e. temporary but possibly able to be extended to a "permanent" position) job offer (if the hiring company approves of my background check results) as a night shift package handler at a warehouse for approximately $20 per hour. I have been working on a PDF file which functions as a plain-text abridged version of my primary website (which is named Karlina Object dot WordPress dot Com) using Google Drive to create the document (using "free" cloud-based software which is similar to Microsoft Word). When the document is complete, I intend to download a PDF version of that document and a plain-text version of that document to my desktop computer and then upload those files to the GitHub repository which houses this journal file. Then I plan on getting that entire PDF printed (onto white paper which is 11 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide using black ink and 11 point sans serif font) and putting each of those pages in their intended order inside of a three-ring binder. Then I will burn the next three M_DISCs I have with zip files of several of my GitHub repositories (i.e. the ones which were modified since the last time I burned M_DISCs with zip files of several of my GitHub repositories).

21_OCTOBER_2023: In the video I recorded with my phone and uploaded to Instagram and to the GitHub repository which contains this journal entry on 20_OCTOBER_2023 there is a black box on top of the shelf behind where I am sitting as I play the drums. That black box is an electronic drum machine which my father's father built which has an analog knob for controlling amplitude and an analog knob for controlling tempo. Though my grandfather is no longer alive, that drum machine he built is still in functional condition and I still retain a memory of him from my early childhood of him showing a trick with magnets which I think helped to pique my interest in electromagnetism.

21_OCTOBER_2023: I found it quite satisfying to play two instances of my SOUND_TRACK_LOOPER application such that one of them plays karbytes_drums_20_october_2023.mp3 while the other application instance plays karbytes_guitar_16_october_2023.mp3. It sounds like a slightly randomized song each time the loops are played simultaneously due to the fact that those tracks are neither the same temporal lengths nor were they intended to sync up with each other in terms of rhythm,  melody, or style.
