Last night I completed one homework assignment. Procrastinated throughout the day but in that 2 or 3 hours of hard focussing and minimal breaks I grinded it out

Forgave myself for biting a coworker's head off
Despite being suicidally depressed and having a fucked up sleep schedule I'm pretty good on track with my thesis. Have carefully read about 60 papers in the last three weeks and achieved important milestones on time.
Recently became sous chef at the kitchen I work in. Constantly felt like I wasn't good enough and so I've been putting more responsibility on myself to make sure things are done correctly.
Yesterday I coordinated our mother's day buffet and it went perfectly. No hiccups, no running out of items. Even got acknowledged by my chef for doing such a good job. Felt pretty great.
Yesterday was Mother's Day in the US, and I'm fairly certain I made a few ladies moms over the years.
Closing on my first home this week.
In the USA. In this uncertain economy.
I don't know what the future holds.
I'm terrified, excited and anxious.
... Might need a new Lemmy handle.
Voluntarily left my cushy job in marketing (SEO manager) after ten years and was substitute teaching in the meantime. Discovered I loved it (always kicked around being a teacher) and love the positive connections made with the kids.
I’m starting my MEd (Masters of Education program) May 19 to be an elementary school teacher. Not that it matters, but I’m a 40+ father of an elementary school kid myself.
It's never too late to start doing something you love. Even if it means to entirely switch careers. You can be proud of yourself for pursuing this, even if it means leaving a comfort zone. :)
Thank you! I’m very excited about it. I know it’s going to be tough because behavior management is a booger and parents can be…interesting, but if I can connect and make sure a kid is set up to succeed then I am very happy.
I woke up, did not have a meltdown and did not yell at anyone.
Been smashing lots of gamedev on a project. Applied for a grant for it too.
Great to see it all coming together.
Cool! What's the project?
I was looking for mobile games to play that weren't.. you know mobile games. Something single player with things you could plan and execute on but with an immediacy.
I've not really spoken about it to anyone before so my elevator pitch is rough. Essentially a top down 2d-ish twin stick shooter where you're going into a post zombie apocalypse situation and extracting with items to build up a safe community. Rescuing survivors, mild RPG elements, mild city builder. Permadeath potential too Aiming for high customisability.
It's a lot of systems working together, still rough around the edges (and non existent in other parts). Self funded ATM while I'm out of a job but managed to get stinking ill for a while, bogging me down.
Apparently play store has an early access equivalent for getting feedback so looks like I might try to get a MVP ready and try that out.
Thanks for asking 😀
I made a house, crafted the bedrooms with the latest decors, put solar panel decorations on the roof and moved in a goth family. It was pretty heartwarming to see it all happen really, though I did delete their toilets shortly before saving.
My partner and I managed to go through immigration to move to another country. We landed yesterday.
From and to which countries, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm in that track too! Soon, so very soon.
It's quite the logistics effort unless you can afford lots of help.
We're just doing it by hand, so it's crazy most days, but we're getting there.
