I want some good news.
As my mom would say- I woke up on the right side of the dirt.
my kid slept the whole night last night. first time. I didn’t even know what to do when I woke up and no one was crying.
That is just amazing! Been there, felt that! Enjoy!
I was lucky with both of my kids. They both started sleeping through the night relatively quick.
Good for you! Now, on to the next parenting challenge, but at least you’ll be getting better sleep.
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.
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 started my own business where I get to take advantage of landlords 🥲 it’s pretty much my dream
Where the hell do I sign up
If you can do stuff, literally just on the Thumbtack app lmfao landlords get on there when they need repairs done, so I do them and they pay whatever I want. I fleeced landlords to the tune of like $2000 last week, only worked 3 days.
Then when I get honest hardworking customers, I cut them a break. The landlords subsidize the regular people.
…then next year pass on the costs to their tenants
Bravo
Rent has actually been going down in my area for the last few years, and they pay me enough that I can do stuff for like the elderly or the impoverished for drastically reduced rates. So I’m good with it.
Leave it to lemmings to make even Robin Hood-ing landlords into something bad 😂
I don’t usually like to use clichés, but that definitely seems to be God’s work. Keep it up!
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.
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.
I just quit my soul-sucking job yesterday. I’m ecstatic to not have to go and sit in that office again.
Congratulations!
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!
Prepare for mental stability. Good for you!
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
My parents, in their 70s, started receiving a guaranteed income supplement (they’re Canadian). They’re still poor, but finally they can afford the basics of survival without having to work full time.
It’s such a huge change.
I’ll bet that’s a load off of your mind.
My wife is preggo and the baby looks healthy
Congrats on your baby!
Thx fam
Oh man congrats!
I remember when mine told me she is pregnant, I was so happy I wanted to jump!
Congrats! Remember these years because they’ll fly by as you try to keep up.
I like to think that they don’t “fly by” as in “pass” because they keep being a part of who we have become, parent and child alike.
Didn’t happen in my life, but in the life of a family member and that makes me very happy as well. My sister got a permanent job at a place she did an internship in last year. It’s a job in her career, half the number of hours she is currently doing working at a spa, making more money, and it’s a 90% remote role. She gets to be with her 8yo son, my nephew, almost all the time he is at home now. It also means my brother in law can take more hours at his job, thus overall getting to live more comfortably.
Amazing! Big leap forward for her family!
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.
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 partner and I both woke up early and are getting breakfast together
Great way to start a day!
