Rhyno posted:Took my dad to some exams today, while driving home he basically admitted (under the effects of sedation) that he'd cheated on my mother years ago and now I'm very annoyed with him. They divorced 12 years ago but he was referencing events from 20 years ago. He’s still your dad. Be gentle on him. You can’t know for sure it happened if it was said while under the effects of the sedative. He certainly lacked the capacity to explain himself fully. In getting old news, I’m 37 at the end of the month. I hurt my back lifting something in a bad way a couple of weeks ago and it’s really not in a hurry to heal. Getting old sucks.

A woman matched with me on a dating app tonight for the express purpose of telling me “not sure which is worse, the 70’s mo or the Hawaiian shirt” Like gently caress you lady, you’re 16 years my senior and no oil painting yourself. What made you wake up today and choose violence? Other than that my day was great and I hope everyone else has been having a lovely time.

I walked into a store in Minneapolis and they were gushing over my Kiwi/Aussie hybrid like I was Don Juan. Guess they don’t hear too many accents around them parts  Thanks for all the kind words folks, the AI Cheer Squad is top tier.

StormDrain posted:I signed up for phone therapy sessions. I decided to see if I can take better care of myself. Being miserable at work is something I'm afraid will follow me through any career changes, so maybe I can come out on top and stay where I'm at or pursue another career with confidence and focus. Well done. It’s a great thing to be able to acknowledge you’re struggling and do something about it. Now of course, everyone is different, but I’d urge you to not expect instant results and to stick with it (as long as you have a rapport with the therapist) It took me 10 sessions to make real real headway. Be open to the idea of medication, I was very resistant because ??? Once I did start medication and making other changes in my behaviour, the effect has been profound. Good luck and remember we’re all here for you too

Fermented Tinal posted:Someone I did not really like very much left the company I work for about a year ago. He had something go sideways in his life and while leaving his new job, he recommended me as his replacement. Now I have an interview coming up for what sounds like a modest step up from where I'm at with a better boss. I had a lot of issues with him and would report to our boss on a regular basis with pictures of poor quality work on his part, but now I feel like an rear end for being so hard on him because I kinda needed this opportunity to get out of a poo poo job and I'm grateful he thought of me. Sounds like your issue was with his work habits rather than him as a human. Sometimes it’s hard to seperate the two things. Some of the nicest people I’ve known have been the worst workers I’ve ever worked with. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. I’m guessing you reported his poor quality work because it was poor quality rather than any sort of spite.

Modus Man posted:I keep having a reoccurring nightmare that I’m in a college classroom and I realize that it’s a class I forgot I was enrolled in and I haven’t attended in a while, and there’s a test today. It never gets to the test, I always wake up right then when the dread and the panic set in. I have this so often it almost doesnt affect me anymore. If it's not uni, it's repeating the last year of highscool, despite being in my mid 30's.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:There was no offers when we got hit with 500mm (that was not a typo we legit got half a meter of rain in 48 hours) over a weekend last year. Sure the valleys and creeks were highly impressive but it never threatened even the lower lying areas where I live. Tonight is supposed to be when the rain bomb hits so could be interesting to go for a walk tomorrow morning RIP Charles Darwin. Did they fix it since last time? Some of the footage of Wentworth Falls (the falls, not the town) was amazing last time around

Hey car family. This week I saw a Citroen DS wagon with a patina that would make Charles de Gaulle blush.  It's also been a little over 6 months since I was unceremoniously abandonded by my (ex) long term girlfriend. Thank god I was already in therapy when that happened. With the help of my psychologist I've come to realise what a toxic relationship it was. I can't remember how much I've shared here, but the tl:dr is that my ex was Abusive. Primarily emotionally, athough there were financial and even physical aspects to it as well. I was in such a bad way due to this treatmeant (and, to be fair, some of my own baggage) that I was borderline suicidal before she left me. My self esteem was at rock bottom. Her leaving was actually for the best, but the way she treated me since then is scarcely believeable. She couldn't have been more hurtful or negligent if she'd tried. The upside is that in the past six months I've healed so loving much, I've rebuilt my self esteem and I'm a better, stronger, more empathetic person. I still struggle with anger & grief on a daily basis but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Might be an oncoming train but I still have hope I've always appreciated this chat thread as a "safe space" and I strongly encourage anyone who is struggling to share here, or please PM me. This is a place of good people. It's my birthday on Saturday, I'm going to be doing the things I want to do, with the people I want to see, which hasn't happened for a long time. I've also taken time off work so I have 10 days off. Goddamn am I looking forward to putting myself #1 for a little bit. Today I made a great loaf of bread (pictured), cooked myself some poo poo hot dumplings (pictured) and later I'm going on a date with a very cute girl (not pictured)

Humphreys posted:Sothrop, are you a hair model by any chance? I saw a pic and recognised your delightful moustache and maybe face at a barbers. Definitely not a hair model, maybe I should consider a career pivot! T-Square that sounds pretty messed up, glad you still have unions with some teeth

64bit_Dophins posted:HBD! My 27th birthday is next Wednesday. Thanks! It’s all relative bud! Sounds like you’ve made amazing progress in your life. Lockdown or no, don’t worry about it. As a person you have grown like a motherfucker. That’s how I look at it anyways. I am a far happier and more complete human than I was 12 months ago. Lockdown was a ting but I fukken beat that poo poo like the first licence in Gran Turismo. Life is hard, but so am I. The past is in the past. We’re onwards and upwards from here. Everytime I see your posts about how well you’re doing I am super loving pleased. I’m glad you were able to unload with your sponsor, I’m glad you can recognise you’ve had issues with relationships. The only way forward is to recognise and work on those problems. I’m proud of you, and I don’t even know ya except through these forums. Keep doing the good work.

64bit_Dophins posted:I know there's more to getting old than this, but if it makes you feel any better all the girls I know my age are dating guys in their mid 30s or older these days. I think it's a trend prolly because of economic circumstance but still I guess there's that hahha. My good friend, this is the only Gran Turismo soundtrack you need the Garbage track on GT1 is amazing, as is the Caridgans track on GT2(?) https://youtu.be/sGdDaH4wtxY The whole age/dating thing is a bit loving misc. I feel like at the ripe old age of 37 EVERYONE is into me. I get matches from 21 - 55. That may have more to do with my general level of confidence/having my poo poo together for the first time in my life its the moustache

Darchangel posted:My wife talked to me into getting a manicure. I think mainly because my ragged cuticles and whatnot were less than pleasurable for her on, ahem, intimate moments. I’ve been for a couple of manicures now. I have a terrible habit of chewing my cuticles and I find I do it less if they’re tidy. I see it as part of my “self care” regime now, it’s a bit of me time and it makes me feel happier about myself.
