My friend, an immigrant to my country, was laid off two weeks ago and wasn’t able to land a new job. She was 4 months away from getting her PR, but without a new job, she wouldn’t qualify. After many stressful nights of crying, doing resume review and interview practice, she YOLO’d and sent the CEO of her old company an email asking to be employed until she got the PR, and the CEO simply said “Sure”.
Absolutely crazy, and rare to see that sort of compassion. I’m super happy for her, even though it might be awkward, but getting over this cusp will lock her in on her new life.
That’s definitely rare. Good for her and her CEO
In this context, the question really boils down to “Do you want to ruin your former employee’s life to save a bit of company money?”. Which should not be a hard decision, but there’s way too many people who would disagree here. Kudos to the CEO to realize this and do the right thing, and good luck for your friend.
You know how you get electric cars? Know how you get electric bikes?
You get electric boats now!!!
Currently floating about on one on an alpine lake and it’s completely silent and nature is just fuckin amazing so why disturb it. Just trundled past a duck family and they barely moved
There’s a lake near where I live that doesn’t allow gas boats. It’s electric or manually paddles only. It’s very nice how quiet it is out there.
Haven’t had a smoke or vape in more than a week now. I know I’m not out of the woods yet but this is a big achievement for me.
I finally had an opportunity to photograph the neighborhood hawk last weekend. I’ve been trying to photograph this guy for YEARS, but he always takes off before I can go get my camera.
Wow, and it’s a great shot too! He’s looking right at you, very cool. Thanks for sharing.
The release of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, big fan of Jet set radio. Casual tricking and good vibes, also Hideki never misses.
My wife absolutely adore JSR and has been looking for a playable version on PC.
Thank you for helping me make her day!

A friend came by that I hadn’t seen in a while and while hanging out she asked me if she could put some make up on me. I agreed and when she was done I felt attractive for the first time in a long while. That was a nice experience. :)
Sound great! Being gently touched in the face always feels wonderful, I think, no matter whether in a romantic or a non-romantic setting like yours. Scratches the itch for intimacy with another being.
I went on a vacation trip last week. We took the ferry fron Connecticut to Long Island, rode our bikes from Orient Point to the Hamptons, took the train to New York City, hung out in Brooklyn for 4 days. No car the whole way. It was awesome. Brooklyn is super cool, biking in NYC is the best way to enjoy the city. I am full of ideas for the next trip.
Quality time, spent with quality people. Getting to see my significant other for their birthday weekend despite the distance was great.
My girlfriend.
I got a picture of mine featured in a newsletter on Buzzly.
I finally feel alive again. I lost my pet some weeks ago and it devastated me, but I have a new dog that came before she left me and I have to care for him and my chihuahua too.
I also wasn’t sure how I would survive all the time I have to spend on my faculty (my schedule is horrible) and the lack of attention span I have, but yesterday I went to the library and studied a little bit, I’ve been understanding Algebra topics and haven’t missed much homework. I’m managing to organize everything I need and, even if next time I won’t, I’ve been helping to organize an important event for my career.
Life hit me, but I’m recovering.
I played my first official league game of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and it was a great experience. Not professional gaming or anything, just hobby gaming in the lowest league. But I always wanted to do that and finally found a group of nice people to do it with.
Got a 18-105mm lens for my camera and have been taking videos of absolutely everything, like my kitchen and bathroom.
I don’t go out very often but I did with with some coworkers and one of them thanked me and said they had a nice time
