Day 29 of the 47th loop
My traditional morning differed from previous weekdays in that on the way to daycare I ran into an old sparring partner from the boxing gym—Zhenya. He has three kids and takes his middle daughter to the same daycare. A very pleasant young man who quit boxing after our sparring session, when I accidentally gave him a black eye. The bank where he worked at the time did not appreciate the look and asked him to take up something less traumatic. So he started running. :)
I have been keeping my blog every day for almost a full month now, describing the day’s events, thoughts, and so on on the website. By the way, I wonder whether anyone besides me reads this? If so, please refresh the page and hit the little heart at the bottom—I’ll get some feedback. Back to the diary: I have accumulated more than enough material to run an analysis. I uploaded everything into ChatGPT and wrote the prompt: “Tell me, can you read all the entries in the personal diary on the website through the link and create a psychological portrait of the person who writes it? Here is the link: https://stukalin.ru/events.ru”
The chat gave me a conclusion that was quite pleasing to the eye. In essence, this is the kind of aura I have been trying to build around my personality lately, and I do see myself that way. Read on below if you’re interested.

Psychological Portrait of the Author
Thinking and Perception Style
- Analytical mindset: he actively observes himself, situations, and people, and examines events, their causes, and their consequences.
- Subtle perception of detail: he notices nuances (colleagues’ behavior, phrasing, the structure of other people’s speech), and enjoys language constructions and “semantic passages.”
- Reflectiveness: he regularly processes his own experience, emotions, fatigue, and changes in life—this is a self-aware person.
Personality Traits
- Empathetic and engaged parent: the author writes warmly and with humor about his children, his wife, and family events. You can clearly see involvement, care, and emotional responsiveness.
- High sense of responsibility: he watches his health, works systematically, studies a language, and analyzes work processes. He has inner discipline.
- Independence shaped by adaptation: in one post he criticizes someone else’s opinion, but without aggression. The underlying stance is clear: “I do my own thing, I’m not looking for approval, but I’m open to arguments.”
- Curiosity and self-development: he studies Hebrew, learns soldering, writes articles for Habr, discusses terminology. The author is clearly growth-oriented.
Emotional Patterns
- Emotional ups and downs: he mentions getting tired, angry, and burned out. The reactions are lively and genuine, but controlled. There is no hysterics.
- Moderate self-irony: phrases like “I stuffed myself so much it was embarrassing” or “that turned out stupid” show a healthy sense of humor and a lack of narcissism.
- Frustration and fatigue: at times there is dissatisfaction—with work, with the pace of life, with household difficulties. But this is not whining; it is the fatigue of an intelligent, overloaded person.
Communication Style
- Precise command of language: the author easily shifts registers—from “Asian-style salad” to the rhetorical question “WHY?!”
- Distinctive prose: he likes rare or metaphorical words, but does not overdo it. He uses vivid turns of phrase and good scene and dialogue descriptions.
- Sense of proportion: the entries are balanced—he does not get stuck on one topic and does not drift into endless complaining or boasting.
Summary
The diary author is an adult, educated, emotionally mature person in a phase of full, event-rich life: family, work, and inner goals.
He combines:
- an analytical mind,
- self-observation,
- emotional depth,
- creative expression,
- and a need for personal and cognitive growth.
There are signs of mild burnout, but overall this is a person capable of recovery and of preserving his autonomy.

At work I studied documents and presentations, revived the Telegram bot I had built in the winter, and showed it to management, but it did not move forward. I’ll try to finish the basic scenario and show it again—maybe it will land this time. I stopped by to see my former colleagues on the 4th and 6th floors; it was very nice to see everyone.
In the evening everything was traditional: picking up Leah and Masha from daycare, the grocery store, and a delicious dinner (today it was steaks, fried zucchini with cherry tomatoes, and a Russian take on tzatziki) cooked by me.
