I’ve been prepping for the typhoon that’s expected to hit us tomorrow, prepping, in my case, involving stocking up on snacks and ice cream, giving into temptation and eating said snacks and ice cream, and going out to the supermarket to buy more.

Good:

• Starting to line up interviews now after finding out a few weeks ago that my start-up is folding.
• Excited to be working on some cool code projects in my free time.
• I’m super happy about the upcoming release of Starfield and the upcoming console release of Baldur’s Gate 3, can’t stop thinking about those two games!

Meh:

• I have a lot of constant construction noise in my home due to ongoing repairs of some recent water damage.
• I’ve been seeing a lot of negative comments from Lemmy users recently about the volunteer work many people do on Lemmy and it’s starting to wear on me.

Bad:

• I’m feeling a lot of stress due to this being the first time in about 10 years when I’m looking for a job without already being in a position of job security. I’m very worried about worst case outcomes.
• Finding it hard to motivate myself to be healthy right now, I haven’t worked out at all in a few months already.

Thanks for posting this thread, it’s good to vent a bit.

My week kind of just started for me. I’m on night shift and it’s about 6pm so I’m about to get up and start getting ready to go to work. My sleep is all out of wack though so I’m pretty tired. Might take some zzzquil tomorrow morning when I get home.

I am kind of dreading this week. Last week while on vacation, I rolled my ankle and fell onto a bunch of rocks. My ankle is sprained and my whole leg is bruised and swollen. I do not want to be at work today, but I don’t have a lot of sick leave so I’m trying to push through. I have so many things I need to take care of but it hurts to do almost everything.

I have the day off, on my way to get some tattoo work done. Good start to the week!

Currently quite chill as tomorrow is a bank holiday and most of the colleagues are off.

It’s half nine in the morning. My kids have already made a mess of the house and my partner is sitting on the other sofa with an unused nappy on her head.

It’s going well.

We’re in a crunch right now as we get close to releasing our latest software update for the product I work on. Every single one of the bugs assigned to me are closed as of this morning. There really is no better feeling than having no work to do during crunch.

Work is coming along nicely. It’s been a full year now since I graduated with my AS as an older student, landed and out-of-state job and moved for it. It’s been many long years previously of not being happy and not really understanding why. But now that I an happy, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’m trying to just enjoy where I’m at right now, but it can be difficult at times.

This week is nothing exciting or extraordinary, just working on assigned projects and keeping a clean house. I want to date again, but the men I come across on the apps seem to never want to meet up, so it feels about as dry as the desert I’m living in. Not sure how to navigate finding a partner now.
