    I’m doing pretty good. One more week of work before a long overdue vacation. Also finally had a consultation for gender affirming surgery which I am so so excited about. Things looking good at the moment!

    Monday. Alarm goes off. Partner says to turn it off cause she set hers for later. She did not.

    Cue panic mode.

    Partner looks at clock. It is 8:22. Son needs to be at school in 8 minutes. There is a class trip.

    We made it. School is across the street.

    Came home. Sat on couch and wasted time on internet. At 9:30 my phone pings. Says I have a meeting at 10. I think, “that’s a mistake…I work this afternoon”.

    I check the online schedule. I have meetings all morning from 10 to 1PM.

    Cue panic. Shower and eating. Dressed. Run out the door. Exhausted. Hot. No coffee.

    Phone dies as I sit down for the first meeting.

    Not an awesome start. But, kinda fun in a way.

      Nothing like a chaotic start to a week! Hopefully you just got it all concentrated at the start so now things will be smooth sailing :)

    Having just a teensy bit of a nervous breakdown reevaluating my life choices the night before a job interview.

    Gonna try to get to sleep, though.

    Olivia Chow just won the Toronto by-election, so my week is off to a good start :)

    Also, Pride was over the weekend, and I got a new bike.

      Oooh, new bikes are exciting! (Shameless community plug: feel free to post a pic on [email protected])

      I didn’t know there was an election going on in Toronto, I just looked up Chow and she seems dope. I’m happy Canada’s largest city has a sensible mayor (for once)!

    Starting the fun task of looking for work. Have a few prospects but god i just wish i had another option. Still, im not at risk of being back homeless and i got some time to rest so i should be grateful. I just had hoped i would be more mentally healthy before i had to go back, you know?

      I hear you. My partner was in, what sounds like, a similar situation. Be gentle on yourself. It’s a process. You likely know all the steps to take, keep taking them. There will likely be rejection along the way, it’s not a statement or judgment on who you are it’s just the process. You will make it to the other side and you will succees and happiness. I know it!

        Thank you for the kind words. It’s never as bad as I feel like it’ll be, but the apprehension is kicking my butt. Logically I know every job I have had, they were unhappy to see me go! Brains are so weird sometimes…

    My annual review morphed into a long meeting where the outcome was all involved realized the position wasn’t going to allow me any growth, and they can’t just create a higher-paying position for me (10 employees total), and they don’t really want automation because what they have requires no training.

    On the plus side, no one’s really eager for me to go, so I have quite a bit of paid runway. I’d been thinking more over the weekend anyway about how I couldn’t honestly say I was enjoying my job anymore, and I guess I hadn’t been hiding that as well as I thought.

    Now, all I need to do is find a new job while executing an even larger lifestyle change.

      Good luck with the job search! Sounds like new and exciting things may be on the way for you. With any life style change, be kind and patient with yourself.

    I partied too hard this last weekend because so many pride parties. I knew artists at 3 gigs and ended up running host/mgr duty for 2 (luckily one had host assigned because it was a bigger venue). I think I ended up at like 7 different parties plus the main parade, I kinda lost count lol. I’m not sick, but I can tell I’m probably gonna be soon. 11/10 worth it, fun fun weekend

    Will be better when it’s over. Last week in a job that my days are numbered in, hopefully the next adventure will be more energising.

    By the way, when I upgraded from 0.17.4 to 0.18.0, I noticed the UI for blocking instances changed and was missing my list in the admin panel (still visible on the /instances page). I added a blocked instance and it nuked my entire pre-0.18 list. Might have been a freak accident but it might be worth making a copy of Beehaw’s first just in case. Oh and it’s no longer comma-separated, you have to add them one-by-one

      We’ve heard from others that you have to re-add the entire list in .18.0 when making changes

      I have a copy of our existing list already

    Pretty great actually! I just signed the offer letter for a new job and will turn in my notice at my current job later today. I’ve also been reconnecting with some old friends and was able connect some of them back with each other too. I stayed up a little late playing some games with them last night. It was great hearing everyone goofing around together again, it almost felt llike no time had passed at all

        Not sure how I can increase their already stratospheric Dreamies intake, but rest assured I will try.

    I really was dreading work this week. There are a number of large things that are kind of just getting kicked down the road so it’s hard to truly disconnect on the weekends. I have a good plan and support network but it’s just a long road.

    Sometimes in life, we have to just accept being uncomfortable and work through it. I have also found a new power in positive self-talk, combining this with meditation has given me some well needed moments of peace of mind.

    Mine not so good. I had some problems with my mother and the relationship is not going well. I hope everything goes better with the time or I will be forced to leave home.
