I want some good news.
I was just about to leave, put my shoes on, and that’s when I remembered that I needed to take out the trash. The good thing is, I remembered that before tying the laces.
Seems like I usually remember everything once the laces have been tied, but this time was different.
Crap, I need to take out the compost. Thanks for the reminder!
I remembered, too! And before I read your comment. Today is going to be a great day!
Dude, that would have been a great start for my day, like, first accomplishment done! Plus it is great coming back home to a “no chore house” as we call it: No garbage to take out, no meal to cook, no toys to be picked up, no laundry to be fold, etc. I absolutely love the feeling of it.
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 :)
Congratulations!
Prepare for mental stability. Good for you!
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! 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.
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!
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.
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.
That is just amazing! Been there, felt that! Enjoy!
We switched my son’s Pre-K for a number of reasons. Mostly because they didn’t have room for him in the older class (where he belongs), but also because it was kinda trashy, kinda franchisee, and every day we dropped him off he was crying and clinging harder and harder. The new school is just some lady running something out of her house.
A friend asked him what he’s thankful for last night and he said, “My new school” 😭😭
That’s great! First and foremost, kids need to feel comfortable when they go to school.
I’m sort of dating someone.
2ish weeks ago my parents met another couple at a cocktail party and found out they had a single daughter about my age. In an extremely unsubtle attempt to set us up our families did an escape room together. Honestly, sex and dating have never been important to me. My longest relationship was a couple months long in high school, I went on maybe 3 or 4 dates in college. I went to this escape room thinking I’d make pleasantries for an hour, solve some puzzles and go home. But when I met her she was cute, and smart, and funny, and after we escaped she asked if I wanted to go with her to something else she was doing that day. We ended up spending the whole day together. And again the next weekend. I haven’t “officially” asked her out, or kissed her, or really acknowledged anything about what this is. But I have had so much fun with this badass trapeze-flying, skydiving, engineering, competitive dancing, just-so-cool woman that I can’t stop thinking about when I’ll see her next.
Don’t wait, ask her out. Nothing is worse than an opportunity missed from procrastination, and some girls have short fuses when establishing a romantic foundation with someone.
Asking her out isn’t a binding commitment for a long relationship, but it does bookmark you as an interested party.
Well, sounds like you’re in love. Be careful, but enjoy it! Congrats!
I’m finally starting to get my sense of smelling back AND went to see alpacas.
Are you trying to reawaken your sense to full with extreme measures?
They’re so cute!! My DIL doesn’t want to see her family for Thanksgiving so we rented a house out of town for the weekend. It has llamas and I’m so excited to just sit and watch them. I hope i get to pet them!
I’ve been focusing hard on my job, and received feedback from a C Suite Exec this week that he is impressed with my professionalism and interpersonal abilities, especially when meeting with other execs or company lawyers. He even has started coming directly to me because, quote, “Shit gets done when you’re involved.” This is huge to me because I’m impossibly awkward in social circles and mostly a shut-in neckbeard, but somehow it works for me at my job.
I also received recognition in the form of a beautiful glass plaque from the CEO this year, and it feels amazing.
I crawled my way up from homelessness to stability and now I’m rocking it at my job. Feels good man.
I know it’s a bit taboo and perhaps unwise to put so much emphasis on your job, but it’s what brings me happiness because I’ve struggled and fought to get to where I am now. My success has afforded me a comfortable upper-middle-class life and I’m still kind of shocked that it all came to fruition. Went from sleeping under the underpass to a penthouse condo in less than two decades.
There is no need to consider any of this taboo. We spend a very large chunk of our lives simply working to earn money to live. If what you’re doing for work is something that makes you happy and proud to be spending time on, then that is worth some monetary value. At least, that’s how I feel.
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!
Eh, who needs quality? I took this a little over ten years ago and it still makes me laugh for some reason.
I love how fish have such weird faces!
Fuck yeah, the zoo is awesome. Thanks for the neat pics.
Just got head!
This guy fucks
They other guy sucks
Plot twist: Taliban member.
I slept all day yesterday and slept in this morning as well and my skin looks beautiful
Sleep is important!
I started a new job I really like, and got offered a promotion at the old job.
That sounds like a possibly difficult decision. Goof luck.
He got offered a promotion where leaving, because he decided to leave. That promotion was always available but only offered when was necessary. They likely were having that labor for free without the promotion and just riding on his goodwill. That said now the decision is simpler, why would you like to stay where you were not valued for your quality of work? Yeah the new job can be all kinds of different but is additional experience and OP indicates he loves the move. To me, this is an easy one.
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
I got chicken tendies.
I got stoned in VRChat for the first time, not too long after getting my first VR headset. As a furry who’s very interested in screwing with my sense of self, this was a really big deal to me in a way I can’t easily explain.
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.
Apart from my mortgage, I’m finally debt free, and I’m running a surplus every month after all the bills are paid.
Well, except what we jokingly refer to as my “cripling gambling-induced credit card debt”; I returned some bottles while at the store the other day. The payout wasn’t a lot, but enough to cover the mundane items I was buying. Instead of dealing with the bottle return receipt I pushed that button where it buys you a small lottery ticket instead and the money is donated to red cross. Not surprisingly, I didn’t win. When at the checkout counter I realized that my GF still had my usual card after borrowing it earlier, so I had to use my credit card to pay the laughably small sum.
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.
Gave a girl anal for the 1st time today
my game did pretty well on a gamejam
Someone replied to this message, proving that the world hasn’t yet ended!
well i got myself a beautiful boyfriend and he sent me a letter, and classes are going fine, very happy of course. and the place i live in has a big bright sun, which makes days happier!!
bought house 😱😱😱 ikr wtf
I took all my meds on time, and so did my dog.
Oh! I also baked a pizza and it was really tasty. Pup didn’t get pizza, but did get oven-dried fish skins and he’s really happy about that.
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.
I just wrapped up a delightful trip with my bride of 20 something years and got a job offer for a different position in my company during the trip.
It was a practically perfect trip, but I’m also very excited to go home because I have 4 more days of vacation left and I can’t wait go be reunited with my cats, and relax around the house for a few days.

Changed my name from what some family’s abusive mother gave me, got a job at Amazon, on my way to move out and never see that family again. ✂️👔
