Normal day.

Some things made me nervous because I need to make a big decision soon. But I also got this afternoon (CET here) free when I was expecting to have it occupied so that's nice.

I feel down. I haven't felt happy in a long while / few months. The danger of depression is there but I believe I'm not at that stage yet.

I'm down because I've made no progress at a project for work for a few months now. Everything seems to be breaking and out of my control, it's a bit tiresome to deal with. Plus the Tariffs have derailed whatever FI plans I had, so I'm pretty much stuck here.

During lunch with my colleagues today some of them expressed that my home country is desirable to live in from a security and convenience perspective (from Singapore). But Singapore is also soul-less and boring, and that irks me. I still want to have the chance to live overseas in a cooler and more relaxed climate, but yeah with the job market being shit and tariffs ruining everything, I might be stuck in Singapore for life.

I accidentally deleted my root directory then botched the backup of my home directory by failing to copy my config files over then failed to check that before overwriting the SSD with my backups on it. I have learned many hard lessons today.

After 6 years with the same company and multiple firings and delayed payments, my salary got axed in half, but the owner got a new Cadillac, so yeah I started to reach out to every hubspot agency out there and thank god I got 2 interviews with double the salary.

I’m scared, happy and sad, I am sure there is a German word for it.

Thank you for this post op this is what the internet was like so many years ago.

Weekend flashed all too fast. Still haven't swiped the dust of my shelves, but it was productive. Wish I could find the time to get few other things done.

Nice

Amazing. The sun is shining, it’s weekend, and I’ve just been indoor bouldering and hit 15/16 blacks routes rated V2-V4.

Shouldn’t have tried such an overhang as the last climb striving for that even number.

How about you OP?

My day was awesome. Went for a walk this morning before a light drizzle rain. Went to the movies with my gf. Then we fixed dinner and watched another movie. Took her home and now studying some programming stuff.

Good :) I went to a protest!

I finished classes from my master's, and presented the last test. Still have a final homework to do and prepare my graduation paper. But at last my Sundays are free again.

Pretty shitty. I've just been in a really bad mood lately, and kinda felt like shit all day. And I had to close at work. I really hate closing.

I drove across the state and back to visit my extended family. I learned I truly don’t belong anywhere. The drive was long, through trump country, with billboards for confederate history month, and my family are maga.

I wish this was satire.

Also traveling as a single parent is exhausting

Honestly great I got to bike till my legs were sore & saw an amazing sunset

Cubs won, had a baked potato bar for dinner. Pretty good day.

Would've been better without all the rain.

Lovely day of volunteering. Not sure how to tackle the mountain of work waiting for me on Monday though.

I went to my first Cars and Coffee today, and then got into a very minor accident with my Miata this evening. Barely a scratch, thankfully. Someone slowly crept into the back of me with their jeep Renegade at a stop.

Great! My cousin and his daughter came over to watch my team win a spot in the national championship.

Participated in civics in a very uplifting way. Hopefully it will make the papers tomorrow :)

So-so. Trying to get some electronics working but they're being stubborn. Had to take a lot of frustration breaks.

Just rolling out of bed now :3

I was super tired and sleepy most of the day, and I don't know why. I did afterwards manage to bake a loaf of bread, and go grocery shopping, and I have a second loaf that will be ready to bake tomorrow.

The good - Helped my son move, which sucks because i have a bad shoulder from a bike accident recently, but there were 5 of us (family) so i was able to stick to lighter items. Was nice to spend time together and support him. He's been with us for the last 3 months and i know he's ready to get back into his own space. Exhausted and sore, but feeling good for him. Also, have some restaurant gift cards, so I'm hoping for a cheap date tomorrow.

The bad - i have a cat that will not use a litter box and cleaning the floor beside/under the box every fucking day is making me crazy! Also, have a bunch of work to get done before Monday because I've been slacking.

Very good, played Terraria the whole day with my main partner, had good sex, and ate well.

Why are you asking? Like what does it give you? You don't know me or mostly anyone here personally, right? Why are you invested/interested in the minutiae of our day-to-day lives? (I'm not saying it's bad, just very unusual, which is why I'm asking)
