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

It already happened on Monday. Found out the surgery was a success, and I’m now cancer free \o/
Awesome for you! Enjoy every bit of your renewed life subscription!
Congrats! That’s awesome and I’m glad you got through it :)
Congrats!
That’s incredible, congratulations!
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 :)
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.
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.
Same. I had to stop because of them.
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.
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!
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.
Considering they’re en route to the hospital now, welcoming my very first nephew to the world would be a pretty awesome highlight
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.
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.
Oof, been there. It sucks. I hope it went well!
Thanks much. It apparently went great! Now we wait for the offer, which should be coming and hopefully will be worth it!
Come on $400,000 offer! Don’t fail you now!
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.
Dear 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.
Fuck that fucking shit. Apply in six months and lie about that AWS experience. I’ll be your reference
Haha, 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
I won’t be forced to work 6 days again and actually a good 3 days off so I can recharge for once.
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 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).
Congratulations!! 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.
I’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.
Man 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!
A job offer. I work in software and it’s tough out there this summer.
Remember a decade ago when people kept saying IT jobs would always be in demand?
Same. Feels like employers refuse to hire anyone.
Win the lottery. A lot would be solved if I got a little bit more cash.
Are you even playing the lottery? VERY unlikely if you arent.
About the same possibillity if they are.
which is why i don’t play, but still hope to win. Saves money.
Saturday, visiting Tijuana Mexico for first time. Driving down from San Diego.
Hoping for a nice safe visit.
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.
What is that? Like a Yeti Jedi?
Lol, my bad. Apparently didn’t know how to spell Jedi correctly
It’s a Jedi who makes some mean schnitzel
