I want some good news.
A “good” thing from a bad thing: my 6 year old computer monitor decided to croak today. As it’s currently black friday deals, I managed to order a new one fairly cheap-o.
Nice! I just had/got to replace my phone.
my game did pretty well on a gamejam
You wanna share?
Not much to share (・–・;)ゞ. But for 3h I’m satisfied. https://prti.itch.io/overcharge
As my mom would say- I woke up on the right side of the dirt.
I just quit my soul-sucking job yesterday. I’m ecstatic to not have to go and sit in that office again.
Congrats!! If you don’t mind me asking : Is it two weeks of ‘I don’t care about y’ all? Or just said F it and left?
I did put in my two weeks, but I had nothing I was working on and I canceled my meetings, so now I’m still laying in bed instead of freezing my ass off in a cubicle :)
More power to you!
Congratulations!
Prepare for mental stability. Good for you!
I just got offered a new job after rage quitting a really bad one. I’ll be working with at-risk kids in a group home, basically a low security facility for kids who have either had run-ins with the law and need a second chance or who just don’t have anywhere else to go. I’m excited, for once I feel like I’m going to be doing work that’s actually important and not just making some wealthy idiot wealthier.
Congrats! That sounds like actually meaningful work.
Doing something important in your profession has a certain value that money won’t fulfill. Congrats!
I mean, the money’s not bad either 🤣 so I don’t have to worry so much about Christmas presents now
The company that lost my $3500 computer a month ago finally sent off a free replacement and it’ll be here next week! Normally, they replace it with a refurbished one but since they don’t have any, I’m getting a new one.
You’re important enough for a new one, nice!
My employer offered me a modest severance package, and set my last day to be the first working day of the month, meaning my health care benefits are valid for almost a full month after my last day.
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American
Cool! Good luck with the next chapter of life!
I am traveling through Greece with my girlfriend. After a nice (and exhausting) hiking route we are back in the hotel – one of the best rooms I have ever been to. She is having a shower and I am chilling over the bed. At this very moment everything feels great.
Damn. That’s worth savoring.
Traveling is amazing! Wish I would do more. Stay safe!
After coming back from a year of parental leave I didn’t lose my job.
My previous project came to an end just before I went on parental leave and the company couldn’t secure new projects locally.
But because I was involved ipartially in a different department before, that department secured a internal budget for me as a Subject Matter Expert.
Now I’m advising on that topic and was also brought in to a big internal project, so my job is secured for some time now.
For me it’s extra difficult because I moved to a different country and have a really hard time learning the language, which is a must to get a different job here.
It’s always good to be valued, congrats!
You’re important enough to keep around! Keep up the good work!
I ordered more edibles for tomorrow which means I have an extra one for today and I won’t run out like I thought I would.
Thinking ahead, nice! Future you will thank you!
I left a company after getting laid off and surprisingly found a job before the 60-day warn notice expired.
Second day, the new company announced layoffs. Luckily, I wasn’t part of it, but that has been a wild ride.
Good for you! Being unemployed or between jobs can be scary as fuck.
We finally have new windows and sliding glass door on our fixer-upper.
Cool!
thats a tall order.
Nah, it’s a low bar to clear. Was something good today? Could be small, tiny, infinitesimal, anything really. If things are bad today, but they were horrible before, that counts too.
oh things have been horrible. I think the cobra has fixed its eff up and we have insurance but it won’t show on the portal for another day or two and we already had to cancel the near term appoinments. will see if I can get glasses this weekend.
The other day I made butter chicken and it was one of the best butter chickens I’d had, at least as good as restaurant quality. Can’t wait to make it again and it was my 2nd try ever so I think I nailed it pretty quick. Wicked proud of that.
Nice!
I slept all day yesterday and slept in this morning as well and my skin looks beautiful
Sleep is important!
