ambermonk Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I finally tested negative for COVID this morning. Ironic though that I didn't get a confirmed infection until three years after the first big lockdown in early 2020. And congrats Squee on your soon-to-be parenthood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he said in his video that there was a possible major catastrophe in history that reset civilization and I reacted with, very possibly multiple catastrophes. *big brain* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been able to do that before, actually telling the boss off etc.ย No negative consequences, as I believe this person has very little credibility, and I have good references going back years who know me better. Also my opinion should really mean something to them as I'd been there so long, and I tell it like I see it. - The so-called boss then decided to terminate rather than let me complete my two weeks, which was a much better payout as it's based on an average of the past 8 weeks and I worked way more hours during that period, whereas I only had a few hours' worth of work to complete now. ย Just got my payout the other day and it was a hefty sum! ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ - Had an interview for another job the very same day lol, and got it. I don't have to start the new job for another couple of weeks so I am enjoying my sweet-ass free-ass time! - Other things seem to be falling into place. It's as if that job was dragging my whole life down and I couldn't see it because I always thought it was a "chill job". And now that the weight has been lifted, new and exciting things keep happening Edited May 4 by toaoaoad 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to accept the fact that I was stuck in a bad job with a bad boss, because the alternative of being unemployed is always far scarier. and I didn't realize at the time just how much of that negativity from the bad job was bleeding into my personal life. we try and tell ourselves we can separate our work selves from our personal life, but we all know that's not how it works. that work bullshit keeps lingering on in our heads after we clock out, and it affects us. yeah after I changed jobs, I noticed other positive life things started to occur... I'm just trying to keep riding that wave as long as possible. try and tell myself that I worked so many shit jobs in the past, it's finally time that good ones start appearing. and there's a lot to be said about the power of positive thinking, trying to get as much clarity and reality in your headspace as possible. once you can find that then sooner or later, you'll find yourself on a much better life path. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky to work a few different jobs/gigs, so this was just one of them. But considering how few hours it added up to in a week, it felt like a full time job. Constantly having to be in the loop with emails and shit. Even actively trying to ignore the emails, only checking the work email a couple times a week, it would still weigh on me. The amount of mental space this job occupied was vastly disproportionate to the actual amount of work I was being paid to do there. I always knew this to be true, but didn't realize what it would actually FEEL like to have the burden removed. It's like a fresh breeze has blown through my whole life. I cleaned a bunch of shit out of the storage room, I'm dieting/exercising and dating again, and just found a studio space to rent after being on a waitlist for 2 years. I have money in the bank. And got this new job starting up later this month. Fuck yeah. Might as well share the positivity since most of the time I'm a crabby old cunt around here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler lolz they called it technical stage staff... I work backstage in production shows moving in and out props and shit during the shows... I assist light and sound techs and also set up small lounge bands on the venues around the ship... easy life... can't complain at all... can't be arsed to move to a higher position like sound tech (which is in what I graduate) cause the pay is not good enough for the headaches that those positions have and the company is very understaffed so they put one light/sound tech running 3 or 4 venues when it should be 1 tech per venue... ย Edited May 7 by cruising for burgers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignatius Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 found some underwear at the back of the drawer that are basically new.ย also, had my yearly CT Scan last week and all good news. the 2cm mass in my right kidney has not grown at all. just sitting there like a dumb bastard making me wait. and nothing else new or weird in the scan. so, that's good. not so much an achievement as good luck. i guess i'll have to live a little longer into the coming dystopia.ย 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 been planning a ferry trip to the Isle of Man for some time now and i've managed to dig out my dad's old Panasonic walkman โค๏ธ i'm planning to do a bunch of different things when i get there, but for some reason the actual ~4hr ferry trip is what i'm looking forward to the most. i haven't used this thing for years but it works just fine. i have cassette issues of recent WARP/Ninja Tune albums (some of which are still sealed!) and all i can say is, why let them collect dust for years instead of actually using them? might be risky but YOLO. maybe not take SAW2.
