It should be within reasonable range, like e.g. you won’t wake up as a Yedi or Superman tomorrow and world hunger won’t be solved just in a few days, etc
My baby will be born! Hopefully tomorrow, but if not, then Saturday!
Glad to see people become fathers.
I can tell you something good that is happening this week. I got a job offer so I can quit the retail job I’ve been doing for 11 years.

I’m pretty sure that my job is related to the majority of my mental health issues so I’m really happy to get out. It’s pretty emotional though because 11 years at a job is a long time.

Congrats! My partner is in a similar spot. He deeply wants to get out of retail but even so, he’s remiss to leave behind a decade+ of his time at this company. It’s oddly bittersweet (and it doesn’t help that the job search has been rough too).
Already gonna happen - it’s Father’s Day here in Australia, and my little girl will be spoiling me with all the little gifts she got from the school Father’s Day stall last week. And we’re going to start the Clone Wars series together.
I have a flight to catch tomorrow and am currently running a fever of 103°F.
The best thing that could happen to me would be that I miraculously get better so I don’t miss my flight.
Not gonna happen though. I’ll just have to book another ticket for next week. That’s the equivalent of ~100 USD (~300 USD on PPP basis) I’ll never see again.
I’ll start. The best thing that can happen to me this week is to successfully make plans that I am happy about for the weekend :)
Finding a new apartment. My landlord just gave notice because they need the apartment for a family member and I need to find and move to a new place within three months.
Sucks big time cuz my current apartment is a pretty new building, quality flooring, bath, kitchen, tons of windows and very bright overall and I am paying way too little compared to similar apartments.
My wife is interviewing for a job today. It would be a big deal if she got it, especially since she’s been out of work for six months.
Oof, been there. It sucks. I hope it went well!
Thanks much. It apparently went great! Now we wait for the offer, which should be coming and hopefully will be worth it!
Come on $400,000 offer! Don’t fail you now!
Well, it wasn’t $400k but it ended up being a little better than we expected so we can chalk this one up as a sorely needed win!
Congrats for you both then.
Thanks much!
a decent job offer, have been job hunting for 2 months, but i’m neither senior nor junior. for some stuff i’m expert, others i have never done, the recruiters do not like this.

Fuck that fucking shit. Apply in six months and lie about that AWS experience. I’ll be your reference

Get a decent raise so that I can do more than just make ends meet and can stop delivering for DoorDash.
I receive an invite for a job interview. I’m so tired of trying to make my resume better and writing cover letters.
The part I ordered to fix the dishwasher could come in, so we can finally start using it again after 2 weeks.
I’m doing alright, all things considered.
A layoff/but out package that would carry me to my retirement date.
One of y’all can have this job. I’ve been doing it for enough decades now.
nah thanks, I’ll take the outpackage to retirement as well
I also choose this guy’s retirement package.
I buy a lottery ticket once a month just for the fun of some cheap fantasies/dreams. A few years ago I won $2000. I wouldn’t mind a repeat.
that my crush asks me out finally when I see them again on Saturday; or at least get closer to going out somewhere even just as friends.
Why wait for them to ask you?
for one, I want it to happen organically which means I’ve been trying to be outgoing every time I’m there and very patient lol
the big issue is they work in a dispensary. And I actually know them from the last dispensary they worked in. But that place was kinda shitty and they were on shift alone a lot but it was easier to flirt with them back then.
I’m a fool and should have asked back then but didn’t for some reason. I think I was still stuck on it happening organically then too.
But now where they work, there’s always other people there. There’s only been a few times where I was able to talk to them when they were alone and I actually apologized to them recently for being super awkward every time we interact and they agreed they were also being that way lol
anyway, I’ve felt bad about this for awhile but I feel a lot better about it now that I’ve talked to them about our previous interactions and they always compliment me when I’m in there. so here’s hoping something good happens Saturday.
Dude, you’ve just gotta go in and ask em if they want to go for coffe sometime, because either they’re into you too or you’re the creepy customer who followed them from one dispensary to another to flirt with them. I really hope it’s the first, but if it’s the latter you’ve gotta leave that poor retail worker alone and find a new dispensary.
Yeah, I felt bad about it because of comments like this. I didn’t know they went to work at a different dispensary that happened to be closer to my house.
They’re fine and they always compliment me - I’ve complimented them once. We also talked recently and they said all our awkward interactions were fine too.
Well then get yo ass over there and ask em out!
I only see them there on Saturdays lol
kid, don’t listen to them. you do you. at your own speed.
kid, don’t listen to them. you do you. at your own speed.
so aggressive
It’s friendly banter, calm down
Why are using plural? Who are “they”? I’m not from US so I might be missing something, sorry…
“They” is also used as genderless singular, since OP didn’t specify their or their crush’s gender you’d use “they” instead of “he/she”
If I can add my two cents, an organic meet cute is overrated. We all want that cute “we met in a bookstore and bonded over favorite authors” story but it has so little bearing on the actual relationship. My guy and I met on tinder and had a very original first date at a brewery lol. But four years in and that part is inconsequential.
Take that step and see what happens! Regardless, it sounds like you’re headed that direction, so best of luck!
See, I never really have meet cutes. I do what you did and got no where. I’ve met loads of guys and girls on dating apps and they all ghost.
I don’t get the hate for meet cutes outside of they are hard to achieve and take lots of patience.
It’s not “hate” for meetcutes, it’s just resistance to the idea that a cute origin story has any substantial effect on the future of the relationship.
I mean, its a common thing I see that people seem to try and discourage. Seems like people don’t like it in general for some reason.
A job offer. I work in software and it’s tough out there this summer.

Same. Feels like employers refuse to hire anyone.
