we’re so back. anyways as you can tell by the other pinned post, we’ve been a little busy with a lot of stuff on the backend and that’s probably going to continue into the foreseeable future
I got a new job! finally out after 9 years at a call center. Things are heading in a positive direction. I hope everyone has a great week :)
Hey that’s awesome! Sounds like you’re off to a fresh start.
That’s great! Best of luck
Congratulations!
Hope it’s a start of more good things to come.Congratulations!
Yesterday was my birthday!
It was a nice and easy going day spend with my family. Topped it off with going out for a nice dinner.
I enjoyed it, nothing fancy but just the way I like it :)Happy late birthday! :D
Thank you! :)
Honestly, pretty miserable. A “promotion” ended up docking my partner’s pay (the difference in what they were making got rolled into benefits) and now we went from being totally fine to things being tremendously tight basically overnight. It’s been hard finding work on my end and I’m just incredibly stressed. I’ll be alright though, I hope.
Happy birthday to me.
in a tragic moment one of my friends has inexplicably nuked all of their contacts with my friend group for the 3rd time in a year and a half so lol, guess i’m just not gonna talk to that person again since i do not have the patience to try and sort their shit out again
What do You think 🤔 happened to them?
As someone who does this often, or rather did as I don’t reappear anymore, was always shocked when everyone just rolled with it when I popped back up.
But, never had shit to be sorted.
Sorry about your friend. Here
I got up too early 💤
Had an exposition over the weekend and it was amazing to see all the different perspectives, and made new contacts. I’m currently secretly living in my atelier so I really need contacts to find a better living situation, so that was a relief. Also my aunt and uncle were there and they were the last people I hadn’t come out to yet, because I love them but they can be very conservative at times. But well, it was kinda hard to hide considering that my new name was written on the flyers and that I was wearing my makeup. I can’t express how happy and relieved I am that they are completely supportive!
That’s great news! Sometimes I think things are better without a ‘conversation’ if you know what I mean. They can see you’re happy as you are and you don’t necessarily have to put pressure on yourself to explain anything.
Ya it was like that. I really hate it when people start asking about genitalia.
In this case it was more emotionally validating from their side, and we agreed we can talk more about it in detail another time because it doesn’t matter so much.
What’s funny is that I prepared really a lot to talk with them, an prepared materials and stuff. But then it went like this.
Lol, can I answer this even though I don’t have a Beehaw account anymore?
It’s ok. But it’s been hot weather, like summer. I want winter and the cold to come already. I have gotten started with a programming course in C#, some tasks are difficult but it’s fun problem-solving. School is ok, my classmates are nice but unfortunately I don’t seem to have much in common with most/any of them.
All in all, things are going alright. I remade all of my Spotify playlists which has been therapeutic. Now I’m just chilling, school is draining sometimes. But life is ok. 👍
If you have any c# questions shoot them my way
I will! Thank you for offering your help. (:
Little hectic, I moved and changed jobs and still I had to “visit” my parents sometimes to get my stuff and dealing with paperwork. But it will get better I will probably have everything done today.
One month on CPAP. I hate the thing and it hasn’t improved my sleep. I made a recording using Sleep As Android and I’m still snoring a bit. I am waiting to get an appointment with the actual specialist who ordered my sleep test and prescribed CPAP- I’ve never met him, and am not sure I ever would have met him if I hadn’t melted down a little when the ResMed drone said that my numbers are excellent and that “studies show” that most people adjust within six weeks. Well, I’m not a number, I’m a neurodivergent individual with individual needs and quoting study results at me does not help or reassure.
I am studying for an online degree and since past 4-5 days my laptop has been acting up. I reset my pc, but it’s still behaving weird sometimes, but not so much as before. So I am feeling a bit better now. I was very stressed out because of this.
Do you store stuff locally? In that case make sure you have a backup.
You could visit a local library to use their computers.

I will look into this. Thanks.
Pretty fine. Finally beat BG3. Already planning my next run. ;)
Stuck in the middle of a drama at work I would rather not know about; leadership fired a manager for apparently personal/favoritism reasons, and now their team left behind is upset - with good reason. As a manager myself, I was pretty shocked that the decision and action was taken in this way, so I am having to deal with the fallout since the staff in that department is coming into mine to seek support they feel they no longer have… I love my own team and what I do, but am starting to really question if I want to be part of a place that treats people like this. For all I know, my own neck could be on the chopping block too and I don’t know about it, any more than the manager they fired knew that was in store for them. Why are people such asshats sometimes, is beyond me.
I’ve been through that too, like all that vagueness around someone amazing being fired.
This probably doesn’t apply to your case in mine he seemed to get a little too familiar with the women, from the get go. I can imagine that instead of opening that up for the whole world to see they simply kept it vague. Of course most people were confused.
My point being that if you know you’re integral then you can feel safe again. You could always ask.
Thanks for the kind reply. At this point, being integral or not seems to mean little. This is the third time they have gotten rid of someone and brought in/promoted a “friend” instead. It’s like it’s becoming the personal playground for the person who fired them because it’s easier for her to hire in friends than actually develop some vision for our organization. I had an amazing year last year in terms of my own work, my team’s, and our deliverables, but so did the person she fired. If there is one constant in non-profits it’s that there is often a lack of accountability to otherwise normal hr standards, since all the power is held by one or two people at the most. I could take it to the board, if so inclined to advocate over this, but having been through this before at another place long ago, I know the outcome of that. It’s better to just move on.
I understand healing is not a linear process, but some days just feel so hard. I’ve been exercising very regularly(dropped 15kg), going to therapy, engaging with other people, but any amount of effort still feels Herculean. It was pointed out to me that low testosterone levels could cause some of these symptoms so I guess I’ll get that checked next. But yeah, my week has been difficult…too many losses in a very short time span…
