The Path of Pain? Yeah I gave up on that too. Also gave up on trying to beat Grim, even in my second play through.

Luke Chiang-Used to Me. He sounds like Sam Smith but…more vulnerable I guess. Been stuck in my head for a couple days and playing it constantly!

The last three or four songs from Jungle have been FIRE. The videos are awesome as well.

Been eyeing an Opus 88 demonstrator for a while but if I don’t have to drop $120 for a pen I don’t wait to. Going to try a PenBBS 355 first, heard a lot of good things about it and curiois about the filling system.

Plants, painting, crochet, gaming, motorcycles, reading, music, penpals, fountain pens.

Really into Diablo 4 right now and in the process of buying plants# 15 and 16. Will get a new fountain pen for Christmas as well. I go through about a book a week give or take depending on how interesting it is.

Yes. Also commenting on your Dig Dug icon, which I love!

Not a furry but just wanted to say I love your username!

Not sure if I’d call it bullying but my boss is giving me a hard time about the fact that I’m leaving. She REALLY wants to know why I want to leave so she can try to fix it but I can’t give her the reason that started it all because it was over a year ago and there’s been a lot of little and not so little bullshit things that have happened since then. Turnover in general is definitely higher than it should be and I get that they want to address that…but I just want to slide out the back door and move on with my life.

How am I dealing with it? I’m standing on my resignation and I have two weeks left until I’m gone. Setting boundaries and working on sitting with my feelings whenever possible.

Wario. His butt makes me laugh, especially on a motorcycle.

I’ve got a client going through this right now and it’s devastating for her, as her rats are like her kids and they’re all she has. She’s lost two since I started seeing her.

I’ve learned SO much about rats while having her as a client and I can see how deeply owners connect with them, thus making it that much harder when they pass away because they don’t live very long (compared to cats and dogs).

Sending positive vibes your way during this difficult time!

Well…the good news is I submitted my letter of resignation for my job, which I am thrilled about. I’ll have better pay and flexibility and work for a company that has more than adequate staffing and support.

The bad news is my boss is trying to do EVERYTHING she can to get me not to leave. I told her no 6 different ways to no avail. She doesn’t respect boundaries. My supervisor that left a year and a half ago said it took her three times to leave. I had a meeting with boss yesterday and felt so manipulated it was disgusting. I also have to give a month’s notice so it’s going to be a long 3 weeks. I’m hoping that once I sign a contract at my new job (hopefully tomorrow), that will get my boss to let it go.

Absolutely. I’ve bought all of my phones from eBay and never had an issue.

There’s a special plant in my heart for Alan Watts ☺

I have really good hearing and I’m good at guessing pronunciation of people’s names in certain languages.

I have fond memories of listening to conversations at the other end of the table at family gatherings. If we’re out with a bunch if people, I’ll listen to the various conversations.

I really appreciate my “people”. My spouse because he allows me to be myself and encourages me to chase my dreams. My parents are hella supportive and are absolutely my heroes. My brother is a wonderful, antisocial soul like myself and we share a love for movied, TV shows, and our hair ☺

It was definitely a tough watch for me. I think I only got through it because I watched it at work or while doing something else. The family dynamics were good, as was the ending, but good lord the stuff in between was a trainwreck.

Thanks for this, looking forward to it! Oatchi sounds like the goodest boy ever ☺

It was good in the sense that I finally finished my first diamond painting (it was huge) and I’m happy with the end result, just needs to be framed.

Been a little discouraged regarding looking for another job. I’m a therapist and all the positions in jobs sites don’t pay well, are looking for fully licensed people, which I am not, or don’t offer schedule flexibility. I do have some connections in the field that I’m leaning on to see what comes up and I do have a decent position waiting for me in the coming months but wanted to see what else is out there.

On the negative side, I’m not sleeping well. It comes and goes based on stress and sugar consumption and it’s hard to stay on top of sometimes cuz damn it sugar is good 😔 I’m also coping well enough with the fact that I dislike my boss and the way she runs her business, which is most of the reason why I’m leaving. I love my clients but it’s a trainwreck that’s been in motion for over a year.

Virtual hugs incoming!! I can’t ingraine how difficult that is for you :/

Sorry to hear that things aren’t going well 😔 hello fellow Pikmin player! How does it compare to other games in the series?
