I’m doing pretty good. One more week of work before a long overdue vacation. Also finally had a consultation for gender affirming surgery which I am so so excited about. Things looking good at the moment!
Ahhh, congrats on all counts!!
Thank you! 🤗
That’s great! Good luck!
Thank you!!! 🙏
Having just a teensy bit of a nervous breakdown reevaluating my life choices the night before a job interview.
Gonna try to get to sleep, though.
Good luck on your interview!
Best of luck on your interview and I hope you get some rest
Break a leg! You got this!
Monday. Alarm goes off. Partner says to turn it off cause she set hers for later. She did not.
Cue panic mode.
Partner looks at clock. It is 8:22. Son needs to be at school in 8 minutes. There is a class trip.
We made it. School is across the street.
Came home. Sat on couch and wasted time on internet. At 9:30 my phone pings. Says I have a meeting at 10. I think, “that’s a mistake…I work this afternoon”.
I check the online schedule. I have meetings all morning from 10 to 1PM.
Cue panic. Shower and eating. Dressed. Run out the door. Exhausted. Hot. No coffee.
Phone dies as I sit down for the first meeting.
Not an awesome start. But, kinda fun in a way.
Nothing like a chaotic start to a week! Hopefully you just got it all concentrated at the start so now things will be smooth sailing :)
I’ve heard a phrase for that: “happy effin Monday” ;)
I partied too hard this last weekend because so many pride parties. I knew artists at 3 gigs and ended up running host/mgr duty for 2 (luckily one had host assigned because it was a bigger venue). I think I ended up at like 7 different parties plus the main parade, I kinda lost count lol. I’m not sick, but I can tell I’m probably gonna be soon. 11/10 worth it, fun fun weekend
Olivia Chow just won the Toronto by-election, so my week is off to a good start :)
Also, Pride was over the weekend, and I got a new bike.
Oooh, new bikes are exciting! (Shameless community plug: feel free to post a pic on !bicycles@lemmy.ca)
I didn’t know there was an election going on in Toronto, I just looked up Chow and she seems dope. I’m happy Canada’s largest city has a sensible mayor (for once)!
Thanks for the heads up, subscribed :) Might post a photo later.
My annual review morphed into a long meeting where the outcome was all involved realized the position wasn’t going to allow me any growth, and they can’t just create a higher-paying position for me (10 employees total), and they don’t really want automation because what they have requires no training.
On the plus side, no one’s really eager for me to go, so I have quite a bit of paid runway. I’d been thinking more over the weekend anyway about how I couldn’t honestly say I was enjoying my job anymore, and I guess I hadn’t been hiding that as well as I thought.
Now, all I need to do is find a new job while executing an even larger lifestyle change.
Good luck friend. What field are you in?
Good luck with the job search! Sounds like new and exciting things may be on the way for you. With any life style change, be kind and patient with yourself.
My week is going well.
We adopted a lovely pair of cats at the weekend, who are settling in really well. They’re Certified Good Cats.

helLO! They are gorgeous! Gibe them lots of treats for being such good cats pls x
Not sure how I can increase their already stratospheric Dreamies intake, but rest assured I will try.
Starting the fun task of looking for work. Have a few prospects but god i just wish i had another option. Still, im not at risk of being back homeless and i got some time to rest so i should be grateful. I just had hoped i would be more mentally healthy before i had to go back, you know?
I hear you. My partner was in, what sounds like, a similar situation. Be gentle on yourself. It’s a process. You likely know all the steps to take, keep taking them. There will likely be rejection along the way, it’s not a statement or judgment on who you are it’s just the process. You will make it to the other side and you will find succees and happiness. I know it!
Thank you for the kind words. It’s never as bad as I feel like it’ll be, but the apprehension is kicking my butt. Logically I know every job I have had, they were unhappy to see me go! Brains are so weird sometimes…
built my first pc a couple days ago :) im really happy with it
What game did you christen your PC with? I brought my GPU into the world knowing Elden Ring as its first breath :P
hitman 3! its pretty well optimized and looks really good
Good choice, great series! Throwing things at the backs of people’s heads never gets old.
Oooo nice! How difficult would you say it was to build (scale of 1-10)?
Glad you’re happy! What are its specs and what are you going to use it for?
Pretty great actually! I just signed the offer letter for a new job and will turn in my notice at my current job later today. I’ve also been reconnecting with some old friends and was able connect some of them back with each other too. I stayed up a little late playing some games with them last night. It was great hearing everyone goofing around together again, it almost felt llike no time had passed at all

Prayer circle for my car… hoping to get it back from the shop this week so I can go see my friends for Canada Day!
I took next week off from work just because I can and I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’d like to make the most of it but I can’t decide between doing something really cool and doing nothing at all; both are tempting!
Otherwise, things are going pretty great. I might be able to go full remote at work (which would mean I don’t need to quit anymore), and I’ve prepared a wonderful peach, feta & cucumber salad for lunch.
I am supremely jealous of your ability to take time and have no idea what to do. I have a 7 month old kiddo and a partner who plans our calendar months in advance. I dont think I’ll ever have a weeklong stretch of unspoked for time ever again in my whole life.
I am incredibly lucky to live in a country that strongly protects workers, to have no children and to be able to afford an apartment 10mins away from my partner’s place rather than living together and depending on each other’s calendar. I remember how lucky I am every day. I really hope the baby is doing well and that things will settle down in a year or two - obviously it’s still not going to be “unspoken for time”, but hopefully things will settle down a bit at least!
Glad to hear that you live in such a wonderful place! The baby is indeed doing well, and relatively speaking so are we (the parents). Here’s to a calmer life in the medium-term haha!
I really was dreading work this week. There are a number of large things that are kind of just getting kicked down the road so it’s hard to truly disconnect on the weekends. I have a good plan and support network but it’s just a long road.
Sometimes in life, we have to just accept being uncomfortable and work through it. I have also found a new power in positive self-talk, combining this with meditation has given me some well needed moments of peace of mind.
It’s been really nice so far! I got to go to pride over the weekend which was a lot of fun and I’ll be having a phone interview for a job tomorrow!
