    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.

    I got a job after an 11 month job search. I only had 2 interviews in that whole time.

      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. Congrats on the job!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. ✂️👔

    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.

    Also, setting a pretty low bar for good things, so that anyone can join the conversation. 😀

      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.

    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.

    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” 😭😭

      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.
