I want some good news.
Mums biopsy results came back negative. Given what we knew going in, I was expecting that to be the case, but good to have it confirmed.
What good thing just happened in your life?

Thanks. Hoping it’s a turning point, a catalyst for her to finally stop smoking, and make other positive changes in her life.

I just got offered a new job after rage quitting a really bad one. I’ll be working with at-risk kids in a group home, basically a low security facility for kids who have either had run-ins with the law and need a second chance or who just don’t have anywhere else to go. I’m excited, for once I feel like I’m going to be doing work that’s actually important and not just making some wealthy idiot wealthier.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Doing something important in your profession has a certain value that money won’t fulfill. Congrats!
So_zetta_slowpoke@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
I mean, the money’s not bad either 🤣 so I don’t have to worry so much about Christmas presents now

I got a job after an 11 month job search. I only had 2 interviews in that whole time.
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
Wow, 2 interviews in 11 months is rough. Last year it took me 5 months, I’d say around 20-30 interviews, and 6 years of experience as a dev.

Holy shit, that sounded rough. Good job sticking with it!

I did put in my two weeks, but I had nothing I was working on and I canceled my meetings, so now I’m still laying in bed instead of freezing my ass off in a cubicle :)

I was just about to leave, put my shoes on, and that’s when I remembered that I needed to take out the trash. The good thing is, I remembered that before tying the laces.
Seems like I usually remember everything once the laces have been tied, but this time was different.

Dude, that would have been a great start for my day, like, first accomplishment done! Plus it is great coming back home to a “no chore house” as we call it: No garbage to take out, no meal to cook, no toys to be picked up, no laundry to be fold, etc. I absolutely love the feeling of it.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
I remembered, too! And before I read your comment. Today is going to be a great day!

No of course not. They deserve to know the truth and share the joy.

My parents, in their 70s, started receiving a guaranteed income supplement (they’re Canadian). They’re still poor, but finally they can afford the basics of survival without having to work full time.
It’s such a huge change.

I like to think that they don’t “fly by” as in “pass” because they keep being a part of who we have become, parent and child alike.

my kid slept the whole night last night. first time. I didn’t even know what to do when I woke up and no one was crying.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
I was lucky with both of my kids. They both started sleeping through the night relatively quick.
Good for you! Now, on to the next parenting challenge, but at least you’ll be getting better sleep.

I’ve been focusing hard on my job, and received feedback from a C Suite Exec this week that he is impressed with my professionalism and interpersonal abilities, especially when meeting with other execs or company lawyers. He even has started coming directly to me because, quote, “Shit gets done when you’re involved.” This is huge to me because I’m impossibly awkward in social circles and mostly a shut-in neckbeard, but somehow it works for me at my job.
I also received recognition in the form of a beautiful glass plaque from the CEO this year, and it feels amazing.
I crawled my way up from homelessness to stability and now I’m rocking it at my job. Feels good man.
I know it’s a bit taboo and perhaps unwise to put so much emphasis on your job, but it’s what brings me happiness because I’ve struggled and fought to get to where I am now. My success has afforded me a comfortable upper-middle-class life and I’m still kind of shocked that it all came to fruition. Went from sleeping under the underpass to a penthouse condo in less than two decades.
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
There is no need to consider any of this taboo. We spend a very large chunk of our lives simply working to earn money to live. If what you’re doing for work is something that makes you happy and proud to be spending time on, then that is worth some monetary value. At least, that’s how I feel.

I’m sort of dating someone.
2ish weeks ago my parents met another couple at a cocktail party and found out they had a single daughter about my age. In an extremely unsubtle attempt to set us up our families did an escape room together. Honestly, sex and dating have never been important to me. My longest relationship was a couple months long in high school, I went on maybe 3 or 4 dates in college. I went to this escape room thinking I’d make pleasantries for an hour, solve some puzzles and go home. But when I met her she was cute, and smart, and funny, and after we escaped she asked if I wanted to go with her to something else she was doing that day. We ended up spending the whole day together. And again the next weekend. I haven’t “officially” asked her out, or kissed her, or really acknowledged anything about what this is. But I have had so much fun with this badass trapeze-flying, skydiving, engineering, competitive dancing, just-so-cool woman that I can’t stop thinking about when I’ll see her next.

We switched my son’s Pre-K for a number of reasons. Mostly because they didn’t have room for him in the older class (where he belongs), but also because it was kinda trashy, kinda franchisee, and every day we dropped him off he was crying and clinging harder and harder. The new school is just some lady running something out of her house.
A friend asked him what he’s thankful for last night and he said, “My new school” 😭😭
Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
That’s great! First and foremost, kids need to feel comfortable when they go to school.

I am traveling through Greece with my girlfriend. After a nice (and exhausting) hiking route we are back in the hotel – one of the best rooms I have ever been to. She is having a shower and I am chilling over the bed. At this very moment everything feels great.

The company that lost my $3500 computer a month ago finally sent off a free replacement and it’ll be here next week! Normally, they replace it with a refurbished one but since they don’t have any, I’m getting a new one.

My employer offered me a modest severance package, and set my last day to be the first working day of the month, meaning my health care benefits are valid for almost a full month after my last day.

Didn’t happen in my life, but in the life of a family member and that makes me very happy as well. My sister got a permanent job at a place she did an internship in last year. It’s a job in her career, half the number of hours she is currently doing working at a spa, making more money, and it’s a 90% remote role. She gets to be with her 8yo son, my nephew, almost all the time he is at home now. It also means my brother in law can take more hours at his job, thus overall getting to live more comfortably.

Apart from my mortgage, I’m finally debt free, and I’m running a surplus every month after all the bills are paid.
Well, except what we jokingly refer to as my “cripling gambling-induced credit card debt”; I returned some bottles while at the store the other day. The payout wasn’t a lot, but enough to cover the mundane items I was buying. Instead of dealing with the bottle return receipt I pushed that button where it buys you a small lottery ticket instead and the money is donated to red cross. Not surprisingly, I didn’t win. When at the checkout counter I realized that my GF still had my usual card after borrowing it earlier, so I had to use my credit card to pay the laughably small sum.

I left a company after getting laid off and surprisingly found a job before the 60-day warn notice expired.
Second day, the new company announced layoffs. Luckily, I wasn’t part of it, but that has been a wild ride.

A “good” thing from a bad thing: my 6 year old computer monitor decided to croak today. As it’s currently black friday deals, I managed to order a new one fairly cheap-o.
