Just got my sixteen year old car back from the mechanic today. 1700$ for a cv joint, shocks, struts and an oil change. This is kinda what I get for driving a European car in the US.
Other than that my work is finally going into production this week so that’s kind of cool. Things started painfully slow at the new job.
My elderly mom is about to sell her house (maybe) but she keeps waffling about what comes next and it’s giving me anxiety. I want the best for her but her bipolar personality makes it difficult to advocate for her.
My partner might go out of town soon so I get to do whatever I want which will probably be dumb music and video games. Honestly not any different from when they’re here.
I got dumped last Friday and I’ve spent the week largely waiting for it to sink in. I can feel it slowly encroaching on my thoughts, and sometimes I feel completely lost in it, but it’s not really “here” yet. Not got much planned for the weekend.
On the plus side, I’ve started Pilates.
I recently Pilates too! Some of the balance stuff is really hard for me but I like the challenge.
I have an initial interview tomorrow for what could end up being a very fulfilling job (if the pay is even remotely in my ballpark), and a recruiter wants to present me to his client for another job opening.
Good luck!
Woot woot, fingers crossed for you!
Good luck!
Hey good luck with the interview today!
How did it go?
Waiting to hear if I make the first cut for the fulfilling job. Should hear by Monday. I had interviewer laughing though, so I’m hopeful.
No clue if recruiter has passed along my resume on job 2. Things sometimes move on beach time here.
Man, good luck! I’m going in for a 2nd interview on Monday where I really want to work (3rd if you count the very first interview with the son at their second location).
I hope we both get good news on Monday. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Fingers and toes crossed for you!!
I got the job. 😁 I hope your Monday is also fabulous!
Congratulations!!
Edit: I did not make the cut but I do have another nibble on my line, so I’m still feeling hopeful.
Congrats!
Thanks! I’m super excited. Just need to suffer through 32 more hours at the big orange hardware store, then it’s on to better things.
My rent increased 13% and the price to see my doctor for 5 minutes just to refill a rx went up 90%. I haven’t paid my gas bill in 4 months.
Could be worse. The summer death has officially kicked in and the outdoors feels rancid right now.
My car has been acting weird and I’ve been driving it around the past 2 months playing “breakdown roulette” with it. Dropping it off at the mechanic tonight and hoping for minimal wallet damage and nothing too extreme. It’s a 24 year old car and I’m not ready to say bye to it yet.
How yours?

It’s a mixed bag. I’ve been on vacation since last weekend, but I cut it short and came home today due to spraining my ankle earlier this week
That’s a bummer! I took a vacation week last month, only to wind up spending the whole week sick. So I feel for you there. Hopefully the sprain heals quickly.
Been dealing with nicotine withdrawals which have resulted in a lack of sleep all week. But I’m getting through it.
Someone from my place of work passed away Tuesday night after being hospitalized last weekend. A solid reminder that it could be worse, so I’ll keep my complaints to a minimum.
YO. Nicotine withdrawl is no joke. Don’t beat yourself up if you slip. Sorry about your co-worker.

Yet another shitty week
Broke my leg hang gliding so I’m in a hospital 1.5 hrs from home. I miss my family. Morphine’s pretty cool tho 🤘
