    This didn’t seem the wrong place to do this so here goes.

    I am new here…Most people call me Mara, or Bob, there are a few other AKA’s I am known by but those are my favorites so feel free to use those or what ever you want. I answer to a lot of names. This is such an awesome concept. The short version of my background is I am Autistic (1), Gay, and Satanist. I use he/him but gender doesn’t really have a lot of meaning to me, so whatever works. This is my first real day here so I am a bit overwhelmed but I am learning my way around and it is so amazing reading and getting to know the philosophies.

    I am not going to write a book here but I do like to talk so please feel free to engage me. I am very politically engaged (I am very left for an American). I do believe that claims require sources, unless they are clearly stated as opinion. I have some diverse hobbies so there is always something to talk about. One last thing, and I know how this sounds, but know I mean it. No mater what, no matter how bad the disagreement, or how far our opinions differ I really do love you! That doesn’t Change.

    Thinking about resolutions, I want to be more active this year but want to find something that feels convenient enough to not give me an excuse. There’s a gym near my office, so I might try to do a quick half hour workout before going in since 70% of the battle is leaving the house

    Got a dogshit performance review because I did not conform to the pointless metrics we’re judged against, like ‘Positivity’ and ‘Responsiveness’ (because I didn’t smile every day and I don’t answer teams messages after hours.) I hate this job. Fuck capitalism.

        Oh not joy, Fake joy!

        Hang in there OP, I left the company I worked for early last year for reasons like that. Sure isn’t the easiest thing to do (x-gen here) but I feel like it’s always tm a good solution when your job sucks(the soul out of you).

    I’m to be dismissed from my job Jan 3.

    I guess I have prospects. Still, it’s a hell of a kick in the teeth, I’ve never been involuntarily terminated from a job in my entire life.

    Broke up with my long distance girlfriend, I couldn’t handle the distance, it’s the most painful thing I have ever done, but I just felt so sad knowing that it might be years before I ever get to see her 🥲

    So far pretty slow. Work has been a slow drip (unsurprising) and everyone is just slowly getting back to normal after the holidays. But hey, I’m caught up on sleep so I’ve got that going for me!

    Last year hasn’t been a good year for me, to be fair. I’ve been having some health problems (luckily I’m on medical treatment and it’s nothing serious)

    I don’t expect much from this year, but I hope to be able to do more things (and be once again active in the fediverse) now that my health issues are more controlled.

    New year celebrations were alright. I expend it with the family.

      Last night consisted of reading and a surprise visit from one of our good friends! It’s always fun to hang out and spice up the week nights.
