belated again, we’re once again busy but everything continues to run smoothly. hoping for no huge migration, also we’re updating to 0.18 Soon
i am unimaginably sleepy
I’m doing pretty good. One more week of work before a long overdue vacation. Also finally had a consultation for gender affirming surgery which I am so so excited about. Things looking good at the moment!
Ahhh, congrats on all counts!!
That’s great! Good luck!
Having just a teensy bit of a nervous breakdown reevaluating my life choices the night before a job interview.
Gonna try to get to sleep, though.
Best of luck on your interview and I hope you get some rest
Good luck on your interview!
Break a leg! You got this!
My annual review morphed into a long meeting where the outcome was all involved realized the position wasn’t going to allow me any growth, and they can’t just create a higher-paying position for me (10 employees total), and they don’t really want automation because what they have requires no training.
On the plus side, no one’s really eager for me to go, so I have quite a bit of paid runway. I’d been thinking more over the weekend anyway about how I couldn’t honestly say I was enjoying my job anymore, and I guess I hadn’t been hiding that as well as I thought.
Now, all I need to do is find a new job while executing an even larger lifestyle change.
Good luck with the job search! Sounds like new and exciting things may be on the way for you. With any life style change, be kind and patient with yourself.
Good luck friend. What field are you in?
Starting the fun task of looking for work. Have a few prospects but god i just wish i had another option. Still, im not at risk of being back homeless and i got some time to rest so i should be grateful. I just had hoped i would be more mentally healthy before i had to go back, you know?
I hear you. My partner was in, what sounds like, a similar situation. Be gentle on yourself. It’s a process. You likely know all the steps to take, keep taking them. There will likely be rejection along the way, it’s not a statement or judgment on who you are it’s just the process. You will make it to the other side and you will find succees and happiness. I know it!
Thank you for the kind words. It’s never as bad as I feel like it’ll be, but the apprehension is kicking my butt. Logically I know every job I have had, they were unhappy to see me go! Brains are so weird sometimes…
built my first pc a couple days ago :) im really happy with it
Oooo nice! How difficult would you say it was to build (scale of 1-10)?
What game did you christen your PC with? I brought my GPU into the world knowing Elden Ring as its first breath :P
hitman 3! its pretty well optimized and looks really good
Good choice, great series! Throwing things at the backs of people’s heads never gets old.
i am unimaginably sleepy
Hats off to you and the team! May many hours of sleep be bestowed upon you for countless nights to come.
Well week 2 of “potentially going to just end up homeless” is pretty shit too. Looked at a house an hour away, it was awful, roof in disrepair, the guy was living in one room and smoking in it after his divorce so the whole house smelled like smoke, there was moss growing in a window. Multiple other issues. Noped out of that one.
Stared at realtor site longer.
One gets listed that’s perfect, it meets every single one of our needs and isn’t a long commute, we go look, put in an offer. We have the highest offer. Our agent calls saying the realtor says if we can offer a gap coverage if the house appraises lower we’ll be close, we can do a small gap (5k) and still have enough to close. She calls back later, apparently they’re now between us and another offer, but they have a higher gap so if we can offer 10k and extend closing date we’ll probably get it. Talk to family, they say we can borrow 3k if necessary, great we have just enough.
Nope they did the same thing to the other buyer and increased the gap and chose them.
I just want to give up. Fuck all of this, fuck shitty landlords and fuck scummy real estate agents, fuck the housing market, fuck not having enough money, fml
That sounds like an absolute nightmare, I’m really sorry. I hope everything will end up fine.
I’m okay… just looking for a job still… depressed…
Had a lovely time at a Pride event on Saturday.
Then fell a bit poorly, to the extent my partner just pointed me at the bed and I passed out the previous two nights without raising any fuss.
Doing great! Binged 7 episodes of Lost with my husband today after watching Mike’s Mic’s Appropriately Unhinged Recap of Lost S1. Had to get back to it after taking a break from the intense stories
So you’re saying you watched the recap to avoid getting…
…Lost? 😎
Yay!! Lost has become a pretty underrated show, it always makes me happy when people are still watching and talking about it ♥
Pretty great actually! I just signed the offer letter for a new job and will turn in my notice at my current job later today. I’ve also been reconnecting with some old friends and was able connect some of them back with each other too. I stayed up a little late playing some games with them last night. It was great hearing everyone goofing around together again, it almost felt llike no time had passed at all
My week is going well.
We adopted a lovely pair of cats at the weekend, who are settling in really well. They’re Certified Good Cats.
Milo -
Molly -
helLO! They are gorgeous! Gibe them lots of treats for being such good cats pls x
Not sure how I can increase their already stratospheric Dreamies intake, but rest assured I will try.
Got chipotle today and that makes everything better :)
Otherwise busy with work and procrastinating on everything possible as usual
I took next week off from work just because I can and I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’d like to make the most of it but I can’t decide between doing something really cool and doing nothing at all; both are tempting!
Otherwise, things are going pretty great. I might be able to go full remote at work (which would mean I don’t need to quit anymore), and I’ve prepared a wonderful peach, feta & cucumber salad for lunch.
I am supremely jealous of your ability to take time and have no idea what to do. I have a 7 month old kiddo and a partner who plans our calendar months in advance. I dont think I’ll ever have a weeklong stretch of unspoked for time ever again in my whole life.
I am incredibly lucky to live in a country that strongly protects workers, to have no children and to be able to afford an apartment 10mins away from my partner’s place rather than living together and depending on each other’s calendar. I remember how lucky I am every day. I really hope the baby is doing well and that things will settle down in a year or two - obviously it’s still not going to be “unspoken for time”, but hopefully things will settle down a bit at least!
Turbocleaned the house last night, passed out, woke up early. Not sure what I’m going to do now, but I think I’m just going to try and enjoy myself for a bit, as a reward.
