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/
Congrats!
Congrats! That’s awesome and I’m glad you got through it :)

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 :)
For my cat’s test results to come back negative.
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!
Well, it wasn’t $400k but it ended up being a little better than we expected so we can chalk this one up as a sorely needed win!
Congrats for you both then.
Thanks much!
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.
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.
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).
Considering they’re en route to the hospital now, welcoming my very first nephew to the world would be a pretty awesome highlight
Congratulations!
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
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.
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!
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.
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 baby will be born! Hopefully tomorrow, but if not, then Saturday!
All my digestive problems could disappear. That’d be rad.
No more heartburn. No more constipation.
No more pencils
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.
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.
Get a decent raise so that I can do more than just make ends meet and can stop delivering for DoorDash.
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.
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.
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
