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.
