It should be within reasonable range, like e.g. you won’t wake up as a Yedi or Superman tomorrow and world hunger won’t be solved just in a few days, etc
I’ll start. The best thing that can happen to me this week is to successfully make plans that I am happy about for the weekend :)
I can tell you something good that is happening this week. I got a job offer so I can quit the retail job I’ve been doing for 11 years.
Congrats! My partner is in a similar spot. He deeply wants to get out of retail but even so, he’s remiss to leave behind a decade+ of his time at this company. It’s oddly bittersweet (and it doesn’t help that the job search has been rough too).
My wife is interviewing for a job today. It would be a big deal if she got it, especially since she’s been out of work for six months.
A layoff/but out package that would carry me to my retirement date.
One of y’all can have this job. I’ve been doing it for enough decades now.
nah thanks, I’ll take the outpackage to retirement as well
I also choose this guy’s retirement package.
Already gonna happen - it’s Father’s Day here in Australia, and my little girl will be spoiling me with all the little gifts she got from the school Father’s Day stall last week. And we’re going to start the Clone Wars series together.
A reliable sleep schedule.
I’ve been having trouble with it for a LONG time. But last week I found that 2mg melatonin before bed makes me both fall asleep easier AND wake up in a better mood/less sleep inertia. I’m hoping it lasts.
I also had issues sleeping. 50mg Trazodone. No more issues sleeping. I’m out for a solid 6 hours within 30 minutes of taking.
well I can’t get that over the counter.
Melatonin gives me some trippy ass dreams/night terrors
It HAS given me more dreams lately. Nothing bad. But I only had one nightmare as an adult. And it rarely shows up anyway.
the only thing I learned in therapy that helped me was getting the correct dosage of melatonin. I use to think you would take more to sleep longer and deeper - turns out no. Need to take less.
I take 1mg now instead of 10 and it works amazing.
Without a prescription we only get 1mg pills anyway around here anyway. Is whats recommended.
whoa, you have to get melatonin prescribed? it’s like widely available where I am.
Its only recently-ish (2020) become prescription-less here in Norway, and only in small amounts. We are a very conservative country when it comes to healtcare.
that’s interesting, I had no idea. It’s kinda crazy you can get such a high dosage of it here over the counter or online cause after I talked to someone who’s a doctor- it doesn’t even seem like you need that much of it ever really.
Oh interesting about the lack of sleep inertia! I’ve only tried melatonin once or twice but I had such heavy sleep inertia waking up. Glad you found something that works!
a decent job offer, have been job hunting for 2 months, but i’m neither senior nor junior. for some stuff i’m expert, others i have never done, the recruiters do not like this.
If my eife agreed to go to couples therapy, that’s the best realistic thing. Well, I don’t know how realistic it is.
Best of luck
It’s been said that 90% of luck is preparation, and I’ve done about all the preparation I can do on this one.
My wife had been after me to go to couples therapy. I was convinced we didn’t need it. After a while, I just scheduled something and sent her an appointment notice. Figured if she thought we needed it, I’d give it a try.
She called the therapist and cancelled our appointment soon after i sent her the notice. She claimed, “we didn’t need to spend money on that right now.” She hasn’t brought it up since.
No idea what that was about
You’re better than them!
This is not a “I don’t want therapy because I’m not invested in the relationship” situation. This is a “I have a deep distrust of medical professionals due to past trauma” situation.
I successfully negotiate a wage appropriate to the work I’m doing as a co-op turned regular employee. Currently making a little over minimum, the national average for the work is 50/hr. Would be a massive boost to my life goals.
My daughter hit a deer last evening in her car and our insurance adjuster is due to be here within the hour to look at the damage and decide what to do.
My hope is that they’ll repair it and get it done quickly… she’s due to start her new job in less than a week and needs her car to get there… 🤞🏻
Wow. All the best luck to her
I receive an invite for a job interview. I’m so tired of trying to make my resume better and writing cover letters.
Finding a new apartment. My landlord just gave notice because they need the apartment for a family member and I need to find and move to a new place within three months.
Sucks big time cuz my current apartment is a pretty new building, quality flooring, bath, kitchen, tons of windows and very bright overall and I am paying way too little compared to similar apartments.
I got an invitation from the towns’ mayor for my wife and me to attend a gala dinner. And yes, it is real.
Wake up rested
Figuring out that one missing word of my passphrase that will unlock my Bitwarden Vault.
I mean, I have unlimited attempts, but I need to solve a captcha for every attempt. I know the starting letter, but idk what the exact word is.
Might take days, months, or years. Too tired to keep guessing.
Fuck my life.
you know the starting letter, do you know how many letters it has?
Nope, I’m kinda just flipping through the dictionary at this point.
It wasn’t like a dice roll, it was from a chain of thoughts that led to me picking the word. It’s not some random word that I don’t know the meaning of.
I’ll probably guess it eventually. Either that, or I typed the word wrong during password creation.
