How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Some Badger]

A little wary. Learned from my boss that work didn’t turn a profit last month and the director of operations is looking to make cuts. I’m worried that I’m vulnerable to layoffs because I lack certain vehicle licenses. Management has expressed in no uncertain terms that everyone is replaceable. I played hooky last Wednesday and interviewed with another company who’s interested in going forward with my application, but they want to wait until after New Year’s to contact me, so while I have an out (and I’m looking to take it if offered), it’s not a concrete one.

It’s also raining and cold and I wanna go to sleep. This whole workweek has felt like I’m passing a long, drawn out turd. Four more hours to go...

i bungled something important today, something that i had put a lot of hard work into preparing for. i can't do anything to fix it, either. my self-esteem is largely based around this sphere of my life, and so this setback is extremely painful.

 

[EpicGamerMoment]

Fighting like hell to not become depressed. I literally have no reason to, my brain playing tricks on me again.

After living for years in some bizarre no man's land of slow internet (kind of an internet hole, if you will) geographically surrounded by fast(er) connections but cucked by provider bureaucracy I finally got hooked up with a 500 Mbps line today and actually manage to get 563 Mbps out of it. (this was not that easy to actually test, let me tell you) And you know what? It's 20 bucks cheaper a month than what I had before to boot.

Feels good man.

Well it's official, I'm signing the lease on Friday the apartment is mine. This basically means I got my Christmas present early but really that's all I wanted. A place to live that's decent and not a mattress on the kitchen floor or a basementlaundry room.

I still have to ditch Verizon for new internet service, (already switched my mobile) save up for my rent this January, get a few things I need for the new place like a wastebasket, broom and dustpan, and sheets for the bed (I ironically have plenty of blankets just gotta move them from storage) move everything out of storage/my Mas place, and once all that is said and done hopefully have enough to get my family something to show thanks for all they've done for me at Christmas.

 

[FILTH Tourist]

After a week of anticipation of if I am going to get the teaching job or not. The guy I am supposed to replace suddenly got wishy-washy on if he is going to be leaving the school early or not. So it's going to be another two weeks until they make an official decision. Fuck!

It's mid-year and this is the only position available that will let me work and do my student teaching at the same time. I need this job, damn it!

I did a poo.

 

[soft breathing]

Been fighting a cold since Monday (not the coof) but it refuses to get better, and is on it's way to turn into a full-blown bronchitis.
Just when I've been applying to like 20 jobs and might get invited to an interview.
Simply great.

feeling a little bummed out going back to real life after a really really nice thanksgiving vacation visiting my family

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Had a long and tiring shift in the afternoon and evening today. Before I went home I checked my phone on the Kanye for president thread to see how has that progress and it made me want to go to the bar for a burger and beer.

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

I had to pull a knife on a crazy homeless guy following me, I really don’t feel that bad about it though. Fuck em.

 

[alpha889boba]

I'm staying home for the second year in a row instead of traveling to see family for Christmas. Every time I go, family drama ensues, or stress from being around my abusive parents. I don't see any point in spending thousands of dollars to travel just to be stressed and angry.

Still though, the fact I have no happy place to go during the holidays always gets to me. All the people I talk to IRL and online are all busy having good times with their families and I am just sitting alone on my computer with no one to talk too.

Merry Christmas everyone, cherish the positive people in your lives around you.

I feel absolutely awful, I went to a party yesterday and I saw some shit I really didn't want to see, I ended up drinking a fuckton and cried like a bitch outside the place with a friend, I now have a bad hangover and realized that I sent some really dumb voice messages during the party

It might sound like an unpopular opinion due to the state of this hobby, but I have noticed that I have been slightly neglecting my love for video games and not playing too much of them. Next year, I’ll be going back to focusing on some of my favorite games and easing off of focusing on current events that I have no business in reading or hearing about.

Of course, it will be in moderation, but I really want to go back to playing some of the retro games I saved up getting.

 

[PaleTay]

Depressed. Lots of death, illness, and so on in my life. Weather is dreary and people don't go out as much, or if they do it's to do something extremely time consuming, most are on vacations or just coming back from them. Might have met someone great at the wrong time and might not keep in touch.

 

[JosephStalin]

Pretty good overall. Been raining a lot today. Every drop, and more, is very badly needed. Got a new multi-band radio today. Has side-band selection, air band plus short-wave and the standard AM and FM bands. It's physically larger than my present radio, with a bigger speaker, etc. Tomorrow the neighbor kids will come over and we'll have our monthly "radio club". Looking forward to having a lot of fun learning how to work the radio together, and picking up some neat stuff.

 

[Ishtar]

Tired, dejected. Grad school and being a young man in the year of our lord 2022 is not good for one’s optimism.

I’m very close to being finished with grad school. So that is something to celebrate.

 

[Monkey Shoulder]

I really like my job, and the people I work with, but management have so completely fucked the mood with their idiotic handling of this years wage negotiations that it looks like about half my colleagues will just outright quit.
I don't think the company could handle that, and l don't want to go job-hunting again.

Cunts.

 

[Agarathium1066]

I have been struggling to get decent sleep and my body is feeling very fatigued.

 

[Arianne Chan]

I'm fine, although it's too cold right now
