After 6 years with the same company and multiple firings and delayed payments, my salary got axed in half, but the owner got a new Cadillac, so yeah I started to reach out to every hubspot agency out there and thank god I got 2 interviews with double the salary.

I’m scared, happy and sad, I am sure there is a German word for it.

Thank you for this post op this is what the internet was like so many years ago.

Weekend flashed all too fast. Still haven't swiped the dust of my shelves, but it was productive. Wish I could find the time to get few other things done.

I drove across the state and back to visit my extended family. I learned I truly don’t belong anywhere. The drive was long, through trump country, with billboards for confederate history month, and my family are maga.

I wish this was satire.

Also traveling as a single parent is exhausting

Amazing. The sun is shining, it’s weekend, and I’ve just been indoor bouldering and hit 15/16 blacks routes rated V2-V4.

Shouldn’t have tried such an overhang as the last climb striving for that even number.

Good :) I went to a protest!

I was protesting the recent illegal deportations. It was the #handsoff protest so there were plenty of different causes.

Nice, keep up!

I finished classes from my master's, and presented the last test. Still have a final homework to do and prepare my graduation paper. But at last my Sundays are free again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's great! What's your masters in?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks, in actuarial sciences. I already have a degree in it but the last year and half of college were during the pandemic and I felt there were some things I didn't properly learned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

I had to Google what that is. You sound very clever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

That sounds like a great day!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty shitty. I've just been in a really bad mood lately, and kinda felt like shit all day. And I had to close at work. I really hate closing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

That's quite a username you have there

Honestly great I got to bike till my legs were sore & saw an amazing sunset

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

Cubs won, had a baked potato bar for dinner. Pretty good day.

Lovely day of volunteering. Not sure how to tackle the mountain of work waiting for me on Monday though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

I went to my first Cars and Coffee today, and then got into a very minor accident with my Miata this evening. Barely a scratch, thankfully. Someone slowly crept into the back of me with their jeep Renegade at a stop.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Would've been better without all the rain.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Good enough πŸ™

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

Great! My cousin and his daughter came over to watch my team win a spot in the national championship.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Participated in civics in a very uplifting way. Hopefully it will make the papers tomorrow :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

So-so. Trying to get some electronics working but they're being stubborn. Had to take a lot of frustration breaks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Just rolling out of bed now :3

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

I was super tired and sleepy most of the day, and I don't know why. I did afterwards manage to bake a loaf of bread, and go grocery shopping, and I have a second loaf that will be ready to bake tomorrow.

The good - Helped my son move, which sucks because i have a bad shoulder from a bike accident recently, but there were 5 of us (family) so i was able to stick to lighter items. Was nice to spend time together and support him. He's been with us for the last 3 months and i know he's ready to get back into his own space. Exhausted and sore, but feeling good for him. Also, have some restaurant gift cards, so I'm hoping for a cheap date tomorrow.

The bad - i have a cat that will not use a litter box and cleaning the floor beside/under the box every fucking day is making me crazy! Also, have a bunch of work to get done before Monday because I've been slacking.

Very good, played Terraria the whole day with my main partner, had good sex, and ate well.

Why are you asking? Like what does it give you? You don't know me or mostly anyone here personally, right? Why are you invested/interested in the minutiae of our day-to-day lives? (I'm not saying it's bad, just very unusual, which is why I'm asking)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Wow, that is alot of information, glad your day was this good, and I'm asking because it feels a bit nice yknow.

Some people could have had a good day but nobody to share it with, or a bad day and nobody to talk to, I'm not gaining anything though 😊

[–] [email protected] -2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

I definitely don't believe that last statement. People don't just randomly do things without getting something out of it.

But you actually answered me, what you're getting out of it is the possibility of making other people feel good/better, the thought of which makes you feel good. That is what you're getting out of it. You said "it feels a bit nice yknow".

Why do you say you're getting something out of it ("feels a bit nice") and then at the same time say "I'm not gaining anything"? This is a direct contradiction.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you grilling them? It's better than making others feel bad to make yourself feel better...

Don't answer if you don't like the question. Why be a dck about it?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 21 hours ago

Where am I "grilling them"? I'm just asking about their motivation. Is that wrong?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my bad then, yeah I do gain that, the feeling of making somebody feel better inturn making me feel good is what I gain.

I said I don't gain anything because in the literal since, I'm not gaining information or anything physical really, but yeah ig I do gain something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

I see, makes sense :) interesting and lovely to hear.

How was your day?
