Coffee? CHECK. Baked bread? CHECK. Not dead? CHECK.
Off to a good start.
Absolutely the correct order of checks
Certainly can’t check for dead before coffee
they’re the same picture meme
Painfully. Ribcage & sternum in bits following some overly exuberant dancing on the 30th. Hopefully just bruising & fractures and not soft tissue damage, but extra uncomfortable with a bad cough.
Still, should help me quit smoking as in too much pain to want to & likewise to shift pattern of seeing boyfriend to something far less frequent.
EDIT: realised I had to end things with boyfriend, so did that then got a barrage of super-manipulative texts, complete with vague suicide threats, so definitely dodged a bullet there. Very supportive message then came in from a mutual friend, so was able to clear up a few things.
big yikes at the ex. i had something similar several years ago. block that turd!
So sorry that happened to you.
Keeping him unblocked but muted, just in case he threatens to approach. Having forewarning (and evidence if it really escalates) is useful & my feelings are now such that he’s incapable of upsetting me.
Happy to report he’s gone quiet for now.
Last year hasn’t been a good year for me, to be fair. I’ve been having some health problems (luckily I’m on medical treatment and it’s nothing serious)
I don’t expect much from this year, but I hope to be able to do more things (and be once again active in the fediverse) now that my health issues are more controlled.
New year celebrations were alright. I expend it with the family.
Thinking about resolutions, I want to be more active this year but want to find something that feels convenient enough to not give me an excuse. There’s a gym near my office, so I might try to do a quick half hour workout before going in since 70% of the battle is leaving the house
Got a dogshit performance review because I did not conform to the pointless metrics we’re judged against, like ‘Positivity’ and ‘Responsiveness’ (because I didn’t smile every day and I don’t answer teams messages after hours.) I hate this job. Fuck capitalism.
Dystopian shit right here— you’re not allowed to feel anything but joy
Oh not joy, Fake joy!
Hang in there OP, I left the company I worked for early last year for reasons like that. Sure isn’t the easiest thing to do (x-gen here) but I feel like it’s always tm a good solution when your job sucks(the soul out of you).
Ugggttyuuuuhhhhhhhhh
I just don’t know.
This didn’t seem the wrong place to do this so here goes.
I am new here…Most people call me Mara, or Bob, there are a few other AKA’s I am known by but those are my favorites so feel free to use those or what ever you want. I answer to a lot of names. This is such an awesome concept. The short version of my background is I am Autistic (1), Gay, and Satanist. I use he/him but gender doesn’t really have a lot of meaning to me, so whatever works. This is my first real day here so I am a bit overwhelmed but I am learning my way around and it is so amazing reading and getting to know the philosophies.
I am not going to write a book here but I do like to talk so please feel free to engage me. I am very politically engaged (I am very left for an American). I do believe that claims require sources, unless they are clearly stated as opinion. I have some diverse hobbies so there is always something to talk about. One last thing, and I know how this sounds, but know I mean it. No mater what, no matter how bad the disagreement, or how far our opinions differ I really do love you! That doesn’t Change.
I’m to be dismissed from my job Jan 3.
I guess I have prospects. Still, it’s a hell of a kick in the teeth, I’ve never been involuntarily terminated from a job in my entire life.
Sorry to hear that 🫤
Any positive learning experiences to take away from the situation? I hope that any gap in between work is as low stress as possible. Best of luck!
I know I’m lucky – I’m in a senior position in my career, so it’s likely I’ll find something new for the same or similar salary.
Still, it was completely unprovoked. I had nothing but glowing performance reviews, nothing like an HR writeup or anything.
Broke up with my long distance girlfriend, I couldn’t handle the distance, it’s the most painful thing I have ever done, but I just felt so sad knowing that it might be years before I ever get to see her 🥲
I had an … uh, interesting new years, I ate some pre-warned strong magic edible brownies, and it’s never happenend before but from 11pm till 2am I went into a deep paranoid psycosis, hallucinating, losing grip on reality, time-jumps, paranoid, not knowing what’s going on, hard to talk to / interact with people, just having a poker-face trying to appear normal, lying on a couch, waiting to get through @__@ i’ma stay away from psychedelics from now on, awesome for most ppl, but I don’t want to unlock something and have any of that when im sober x__x
That is one of my fears! Unsure on the evidence, but there may be potential links to repeat experiences in the future. Stay safe!
Ya the bad trip wasn’t that bad , but I think I’ll stay from psychodelics again just to be safe , which sucks because I’ve always been more into the idea of them rather than alcohol , we’ll hope they get legal for everyone else’s benefit~
I hope 2024 is better than the trainwreck that was 2019 to 2023…
Everything hurts
Quiet as usual, all same old really just lots of rain!
it’s been great! i met this woman on jan 1 and we’ve been talking we have a great emotional connection.
New Year’s Eve was typical for me. I fall asleep way too early. We watched the fireworks from Sydney streaming live. Wow what a show! My goal is to get everything in order to retire this year. There’s so much to do, wading through all the healthcare options is probably the biggest.
