  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.

  My mom sent me a Weckmann for the St Martins feast because we don’t have those here.

  It’s fat and ugly and missing an eye (ugh, raisins, don’t like them anyways) and I love it!

    Had to Google it. How was it?

      Delicious!

    Cool. Can you explain what that is, please? And what’s the white stick thing?

    source

    • bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      A sweet bread figure. The white thing is a pipe. Sometimes it’s substituted with a lollypop. I have no idea why they are sold for this feast.

      They are supposed to look more like this:

      Although I’ve never seen them with nuts.

  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’ll bet that’s a load off of your mind.

  Went to visit my elderly aunt, she’s the oldest one in our immediate family at this point. We went out to eat at a local pizza place too, Don’t think I’ve ever been to a restaurant with her before

    Cool! Hope it’s a memory you can cherish.

    Sleep is important!

  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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That’s great! First and foremost, kids need to feel comfortable when they go to school.

  I started a new job I really like, and got offered a promotion at the old job.

  source

  • mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That sounds like a possibly difficult decision. Goof luck.

    source

    • No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      He got offered a promotion where leaving, because he decided to leave. That promotion was always available but only offered when was necessary. They likely were having that labor for free without the promotion and just riding on his goodwill. That said now the decision is simpler, why would you like to stay where you were not valued for your quality of work? Yeah the new job can be all kinds of different but is additional experience and OP indicates he loves the move. To me, this is an easy one.

  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.

  I’m finally starting to get my sense of smelling back AND went to see alpacas.

    Are you trying to reawaken your sense to full with extreme measures?

  • Today@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    They’re so cute!! My DIL doesn’t want to see her family for Thanksgiving so we rented a house out of town for the weekend. It has llamas and I’m so excited to just sit and watch them. I hope i get to pet them!

  Changed my name from what some family’s abusive mother gave me, got a job at Amazon, on my way to move out and never see that family again. ✂️👔

  • Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Good for you!

  I just quit my soul-sucking job yesterday. I’m ecstatic to not have to go and sit in that office again.

    Congrats!! If you don’t mind me asking : Is it two weeks of ‘I don’t care about y’ all? Or just said F it and left?

    source

    • PoscoBumbleroot@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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.

  • Truffle@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I remembered, too! And before I read your comment. Today is going to be a great day!

  Feel free to throw out any level of flex you want.
