I want some good news.
My partner and I both woke up early and are getting breakfast together
What good thing just happened in your life?

Went to visit my elderly aunt, she’s the oldest one in our immediate family at this point. We went out to eat at a local pizza place too, Don’t think I’ve ever been to a restaurant with her before

Cool! Hope it’s a memory you can cherish.

We finally have new windows and sliding glass door on our fixer-upper.

Cool!

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.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Thinking ahead, nice! Future you will thank you!

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 got a job after an 11 month job search. I only had 2 interviews in that whole time.
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
Wow, 2 interviews in 11 months is rough. Last year it took me 5 months, I’d say around 20-30 interviews, and 6 years of experience as a dev.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Holy shit, that sounded rough. Good job sticking with it!
accarezzu@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
Met a cute guy at a bar last night and we talked for a bit. It was really refreshing and took my mind off all the shit that’s been going on.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Good for you!

My mom sent me a Weckmann for the St Martins feast because we don’t have those here.
It’s fat and ugly and missing an eye (ugh, raisins, don’t like them anyways) and I love it!

Had to Google it. How was it?
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 months ago
Delicious!
Today@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Cool. Can you explain what that is, please? And what’s the white stick thing?

Mums biopsy results came back negative. Given what we knew going in, I was expecting that to be the case, but good to have it confirmed.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Yep, it’s feels a lot better when you get that confirmation. Congrats!
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Thanks. Hoping it’s a turning point, a catalyst for her to finally stop smoking, and make other positive changes in her life.
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
That’s awesome news, congrats!
Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Appreciate it! It’s sure a load off.

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.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Doing something important in your profession has a certain value that money won’t fulfill. Congrats!
So_zetta_slowpoke@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I mean, the money’s not bad either 🤣 so I don’t have to worry so much about Christmas presents now
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
Congrats! That sounds like actually meaningful work.

Hopefully, one day, everyone will specialize in mental health. Thank you!

End of life hardware replacement at work. Deadline for the project is in a few weeks. Our engineering team just sent out a new BIOS upgrade for devices that get them up to TPM 2.0 which is the main requirement for the project. We went from ~5 completions a week to under one now to stay on track. Wasn’t really too worried about it but it will make work a piece of cake for a little.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Nice, it feels great to get ahead of shit!
Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 4 months ago
It really does lol. I wasn’t too concerned about this project and have been focusing on the next phase plus a few other projects in the pipeline, but knowing this really helped. My mom is having surgery tomorrow so I’ll have to take care of her for the next few days, plus my wife’s car was throwing some nasty codes that had me stressed. At least now I know work is in a good place as I take a few days off to take care of my mom and tinker with a car.

My SO works from another continent from time to time, he has been gone for a month now but today he told me that he’s going to be home for christmas. My kid is going to be over the moon!
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
That is great! You’re not gonna make the kid wait are you?😆
Truffle@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
It is! We were expecting him back in January.
No of course not. They deserve to know the truth and share the joy.

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.

You’re important enough to keep around! Keep up the good work!

I started my own business where I get to take advantage of landlords 🥲 it’s pretty much my dream
PoscoBumbleroot@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Where the hell do I sign up
bizzle@lemmy.world 4 months ago
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.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
I don’t usually like to use clichés, but that definitely seems to be God’s work. Keep it up!
