Spent all week at hone sick with corona. Not too bad though, felt kinda good to just hang out.
And today I received a replacement display for my old olympus camera, which gets no more official repair and I actually managed to successfully replace it myself. I hope it’ll hold up but so far so good.
Hope you’ll get better soon!
i’m completely unmotivated at work and my tasks are time-sensitive. also my employer is collapsing around me so i’m trying to see if anyone else needs people.
also i’m halfway through a move, and there’s no internet in the new place until december so i’m sitting here in a room without curtains and full of boxes, the only thing still unpacked being my remote work setup.
Started a new job managing a retail store, so I’m trying to balance my new routine with my study. At the same time, I had to leave where I’m staying for a few days and figure out alternative transport. Tomorrow I only have study in the morning, so I’ve got some waking hours to myself for once … I’m probably gonna crash on the couch hard. But looking forward to it!
Nothing beats having to do, well, nothing! I recently had to stay with a friend of mine due to some housing issues, and even though the couch wasn’t mine, I can’t tell you how nice it felt to slump on it after a stressful day.
Not great for money but could be worse.
I should have known better than order from AliExpress, as I’ve had a $200 package probably stolen. It was delivered to the floor of the lobby in a building that has 300+ apartments, a Friday evening, and I couldn’t get home until Monday. There are secure lockers but they were not used. So yeah, no package and AliExpress is like “but it was delivered so it’s your problem”.
Also, winter is coming here and I hate it, so I’m trying to plan a short trip in the Carribean in a few weeks, and maybe a longer one in January. It’s probably going to be St-Martin for now. Hopefully, the planning and the trip itself will help me take my mind off all the recent shitty news.
American here. I am numb, and profoundly sad for my country.
ETA, I also learned today that I’m probably going to be putting my dog down in a week or two. That will be the second one this year.
My week could be better.
Hey I’m really sorry to hear about your dog. It must be tough knowing that it’s coming.
Thanks, it is. TBH, I’ve known it was coming. We took him to a neurologist today and she was getting red-eyed talking to us. Rough day all around.
Lmao
Literally
Quite well. I recently got accepted to one of my top three picks for school!
Congrats!!!
Thank you! :)
Ooohhh sorry, school has been outlawed.
Aw, shucks. To the coal mines I go, I guess…
Well done!
I live in the US south.
I live in the US.
I live
My condolences
I’m sorry.

Congratulations! You don’t have to see the guy with a confederate flag skullcap tattoo around town and resist the urge to bash his face
Didn’t see a guy with a face tattoo, but there are definitely Trump supporters and thin blue line people here too even though I’m in a blue urban area. A guy with huge obnoxious Trump flags attached to the back of his wheelchair was on the bus I took today 😬 Not so many people like that around that I feel like I’m back in The Bad Place, but any is more than you want to see, you know?
I’m sorry you’re having to be in the eye of the storm and I hope you can stay safe.
It’s FAR better to be in the eye of the storm than in the part that has all the winds and rain and stuff.
unemployed and what I believe to be one of the worse presidents of my lifetime has been re-elected with his party winning control of both houses and a judiciary he stacked in his last time. Oh and he appears to have fallen deep into senility in the last year and his vice president is one of the few that can make him look good in comparison. Lastly his thinktank include rfk junior, musk, and host of other nutters.
