Was supposed to watch something with my best friend last night but we just ended up chatting for like 4h. Never fails to cheer me up
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
Public holiday 3 day weekend
I found some money I squirrelled away for a big luxury purchase, so I’m buying a painting. It’s the first piece of art in years that’s stopped me in my tracks to stare. I have a print, but it’s not the same.
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.
Congrats!
Good for you. Quitting nicotine is fucking hard. I quit smoking over a decade ago, but I finally got completely off nicotine products just last year.
Just some advice that helped me: keep a zero nic vape around so if you’re out drinking (or some other situation where your willpower is low) and find yourself needing to vape you have one that you can hit without backsliding with nicotine. Otherwise you’re going to find yourself hitting a buddy’s vape loaded with 50mg nic salts or something, and you’ll be back to square one.
That might help me out. I’ve tried to quit vaping so many times but I keep going back while drinking. I live a 2 minute walk from 2 different vape stores and disposable vapes are so easy to talk myself into buying
Watched a bunch of tits (the other tits) romping about the hazel bush, they were hilarious.
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.
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.

A very friendly cashier lady. She was the kind of genuinely friendly person that could get even the grumpiest of grumps to smile.
Left me feeling happy for the rest of the day :)I finished my first semester of software development school last week. I struggled with c# programming and at one point a couple months ago I was so upset I seriously considered dropping out. But I kept at it and handed in assignments, not confident in my code. Anyways, I just got my final marks back and I got A+ in that course… and all my other courses too!
Also… I’ve been depressed for 2 days, I think I needed this post to remind me of the good things in life. I’m enjoying reading everyone’s answers!
Just discovered EU’s DMA this week. Made me happy.
Got health insurance AND dental b so finally fixing some dental problems that I’ve had for years without worry of going broke.
Aye congrats homie
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.
