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 :)
Coeus ( @Coeus@coeus.sbs ) 14•10 months agoI 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.
Hazzia ( @Hazzia@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•10 months agoCongratulations!! Really trying to get to the same spot right now. I’m in software with very niche experience though, so nobody want to hire me.
Despite my misgivings with my job, it’s far less shitty than retail (been there) so I can suck it up.
Coeus ( @Coeus@coeus.sbs ) 5•10 months agoI’m pretty sure that my job is related to the majority of my mental health issues so I’m really happy to get out. It’s pretty emotional though because 11 years at a job is a long time.
Hazzia ( @Hazzia@discuss.tchncs.de ) 1•10 months agoMan I’ve been there. Once you see the positive mental health gains, though, you’ll wonder how you lasted 11 years haha.
I’m happy for you, and I hope it’s only up from here!
sim_ ( @sim_@beehaw.org ) 2•10 months agoCongrats! 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).
DrChickenbeer ( @DrChickenbeer@artemis.camp ) 13•10 months agoMy 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.
kent_eh ( @kent_eh@lemmy.ca ) English9•10 months agoA 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.
emberwit ( @emberwit@feddit.de ) English4•10 months agonah thanks, I’ll take the outpackage to retirement as well
scubbo ( @scubbo@lemmy.ml ) 3•10 months agoI also choose this guy’s retirement package.
Rescuer6394 ( @Rescuer6394@feddit.nl ) 8•10 months agoa 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.
Hazzia ( @Hazzia@discuss.tchncs.de ) 11•10 months agoDear lord I know your pain.
A great big “Fuck You” to Capitol One for making me call off work for a 6 hour interview, telling me I did great, and then telling me that they can’t hire me due to my lack of AWS experience which I told them about from the very beginning.
“Oh we’d love it if you applied again in 6 months” as though I’d ever want to work for a company that so disrespectfully wasted my time, even if I did somehow magically gain AWS work experience while stuck in a job that does not use AWS during that timeframe.
Steeve ( @Steeve@lemmy.ca ) 3•10 months agoFuck that fucking shit. Apply in six months and lie about that AWS experience. I’ll be your reference
Hazzia ( @Hazzia@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•10 months agoHaha, thank you friend. I’m probably just going to relegate myself to telling everyone who’ll listen to that Capitol One should be avoided though
emptyother ( @emptyother@programming.dev ) 8•10 months agoA 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.
UsernameLost ( @UsernameLost@lemmy.ml ) English4•10 months agoMelatonin gives me some trippy ass dreams/night terrors
emptyother ( @emptyother@programming.dev ) 2•10 months agoIt HAS given me more dreams lately. Nothing bad. But I only had one nightmare as an adult. And it rarely shows up anyway.
hystericallymad ( @hystericallymad@lemmy.ml ) 4•10 months agoI also had issues sleeping. 50mg Trazodone. No more issues sleeping. I’m out for a solid 6 hours within 30 minutes of taking.
cubedsteaks ( @cubedsteaks@lemmy.today ) 3•10 months agowell I can’t get that over the counter.
cubedsteaks ( @cubedsteaks@lemmy.today ) 3•10 months agothe 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.
emptyother ( @emptyother@programming.dev ) 1•10 months agoWithout a prescription we only get 1mg pills anyway around here anyway. Is whats recommended.
cubedsteaks ( @cubedsteaks@lemmy.today ) 2•10 months agowhoa, you have to get melatonin prescribed? it’s like widely available where I am.
emptyother ( @emptyother@programming.dev ) 2•10 months agoIts 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.
cubedsteaks ( @cubedsteaks@lemmy.today ) 2•10 months agothat’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.
sim_ ( @sim_@beehaw.org ) 2•10 months agoOh 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!
DeltaTangoLima ( @DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com ) English8•10 months agoAlready 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.
itsyourmom ( @itsyourmom@artemis.camp ) 7•10 months agoMy 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
AFallingAnvil ( @AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca ) 7•10 months agoI 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.
ne0phyte ( @ne0phyte@feddit.de ) 7•10 months agoFinding 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.
ℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠 ( @Nemo@midwest.social ) 7•10 months agoIf my eife agreed to go to couples therapy, that’s the best realistic thing. Well, I don’t know how realistic it is.
JWBananas ( @JWBananas@startrek.website ) English5•10 months agoBest of luck
ℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠 ( @Nemo@midwest.social ) 3•10 months agoIt’s been said that 90% of luck is preparation, and I’ve done about all the preparation I can do on this one.
_Sc00ter ( @_Sc00ter@lemmy.ml ) 3•10 months agoMy 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
JWBananas ( @JWBananas@startrek.website ) English2•10 months agoYou’re better than them!
ℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠 ( @Nemo@midwest.social ) 1•10 months agoThis 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.
T (they/she) ( @Templa@beehaw.org ) 7•10 months agoI receive an invite for a job interview. I’m so tired of trying to make my resume better and writing cover letters.
Treczoks ( @Treczoks@kbin.social ) 6•10 months agoI got an invitation from the towns’ mayor for my wife and me to attend a gala dinner. And yes, it is real.
VanillaGorilla ( @VanillaGorilla@kbin.social ) 6•10 months agoWake up rested
WtfEvenIsExistence ( @WtfEvenIsExistence@lemmy.ca ) English6•10 months agoFiguring 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.
counselwolf ( @counselwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•10 months agoyou know the starting letter, do you know how many letters it has?
WtfEvenIsExistence ( @WtfEvenIsExistence@lemmy.ca ) English4•10 months agoNope, 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.
