    I ordered more edibles for tomorrow which means I have an extra one for today and I won’t run out like I thought I would.

    Changed my name from what some family’s abusive mother gave me, got a job at Amazon, on my way to move out and never see that family again. ✂️👔

    My parents, in their 70s, started receiving a guaranteed income supplement (they’re Canadian). They’re still poor, but finally they can afford the basics of survival without having to work full time.

    It’s such a huge change.

    Didn’t happen in my life, but in the life of a family member and that makes me very happy as well. My sister got a permanent job at a place she did an internship in last year. It’s a job in her career, half the number of hours she is currently doing working at a spa, making more money, and it’s a 90% remote role. She gets to be with her 8yo son, my nephew, almost all the time he is at home now. It also means my brother in law can take more hours at his job, thus overall getting to live more comfortably.

    A “good” thing from a bad thing: my 6 year old computer monitor decided to croak today. As it’s currently black friday deals, I managed to order a new one fairly cheap-o.

    I was just about to leave, put my shoes on, and that’s when I remembered that I needed to take out the trash. The good thing is, I remembered that before tying the laces.

    Seems like I usually remember everything once the laces have been tied, but this time was different.

    Also, setting a pretty low bar for good things, so that anyone can join the conversation. 😀

      I remembered to take the reclying to the station when I left the house this morning and I was pretty pleased with myself

    I just wrapped up a delightful trip with my bride of 20 something years and got a job offer for a different position in my company during the trip.

    It was a practically perfect trip, but I’m also very excited to go home because I have 4 more days of vacation left and I can’t wait go be reunited with my cats, and relax around the house for a few days.

    I just quit my soul-sucking job yesterday. I’m ecstatic to not have to go and sit in that office again.

    I started a new job I really like, and got offered a promotion at the old job.

      That sounds like a possibly difficult decision. Good luck.

        He got offered a promotion where leaving, because he decided to leave.

        That promotion was always available but only offered when was necessary. They likely were having that labor for free without the promotion and just riding on his goodwill.

        That said now the decision is simpler, why would you like to stay where you were not valued for your quality of work?

        Yeah the new job can be all kinds of different but is additional experience and OP indicates he loves the move. To me, this is an easy one.

          Yeah, unless there was an offer before they quit, it should be an easy choice to go with the one you enjoy more.

      I don’t usually like to use clichés, but that definitely seems to be God’s work. Keep it up!

        If you can do stuff, literally just on the Thumbtack app lmfao landlords get on there when they need repairs done, so I do them and they pay whatever I want. I fleeced landlords to the tune of like $2000 last week, only worked 3 days.

        Then when I get honest hardworking customers, I cut them a break. The landlords subsidize the regular people.

            Rent has actually been going down in my area for the last few years, and they pay me enough that I can do stuff for like the elderly or the impoverished for drastically reduced rates. So I’m good with it.

            Leave it to lemmings to make even Robin Hood-ing landlords into something bad 😂
