I left a company after getting laid off and surprisingly found a job before the 60-day warn notice expired.
Second day, the new company announced layoffs. Luckily, I wasn't part of it, but that has been a wild ride.

my kid slept the whole night last night. first time. I didn't even know what to do when I woke up and no one was crying.
I've been focusing hard on my job, and received feedback from a C Suite Exec this week that he is impressed with my professionalism and interpersonal abilities, especially when meeting with other execs or company lawyers. He even has started coming directly to me because, quote, "Shit gets done when you're involved." This is huge to me because I'm impossibly awkward in social circles and mostly a shut-in neckbeard, but somehow it works for me at my job.
I also received recognition in the form of a beautiful glass plaque from the CEO this year, and it feels amazing.
I crawled my way up from homelessness to stability and now I'm rocking it at my job. Feels good man.
I know it's a bit taboo and perhaps unwise to put so much emphasis on your job, but it's what brings me happiness because I've struggled and fought to get to where I am now. My success has afforded me a comfortable upper-middle-class life and I'm still kind of shocked that it all came to fruition. Went from sleeping under the underpass to a penthouse condo in less than two decades.
I went to the zoo today! Didn't get very good quality pics, but putting them here anyway.
Fuck yeah, the zoo is awesome. Thanks for the neat pics.
I got stoned in VRChat for the first time, not too long after getting my first VR headset. As a furry who's very interested in screwing with my sense of self, this was a really big deal to me in a way I can't easily explain.
Find your joy!
The company that lost my $3500 computer a month ago finally sent off a free replacement and it'll be here next week! Normally, they replace it with a refurbished one but since they don't have any, I'm getting a new one.
You're important enough for a new one, nice!
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.
Thinking ahead, nice! Future you will thank you!
Someone replied to this message, proving that the world hasn't yet ended!
There's always hope! I think I just made myself sick.
My wife is preggo and the baby looks healthy
Congrats! Remember these years because they'll fly by as you try to keep up.
I like to think that they don't "fly by" as in "pass" because they keep being a part of who we have become, parent and child alike.
Congrats on your baby!
Thx fam
Just got head!
Nice!
Ikr?
This guy fucks
The other guy sucks
I’m sort of dating someone.
2ish weeks ago my parents met another couple at a cocktail party and found out they had a single daughter about my age. In an extremely unsubtle attempt to set us up our families did an escape room together. Honestly, sex and dating have never been important to me. My longest relationship was a couple months long in high school, I went on maybe 3 or 4 dates in college. I went to this escape room thinking I’d make pleasantries for an hour, solve some puzzles and go home. But when I met her she was cute, and smart, and funny, and after we escaped she asked if I wanted to go with her to something else she was doing that day. We ended up spending the whole day together. And again the next weekend. I haven’t “officially” asked her out, or kissed her, or really acknowledged anything about what this is. But I have had so much fun with this badass trapeze-flying, skydiving, engineering, competitive dancing, just-so-cool woman that I can’t stop thinking about when I’ll see her next.
Well, sounds like you're in love. Be careful, but enjoy it! Congrats!
My employer offered me a modest severance package, and set my last day to be the first working day of the month, meaning my health care benefits are valid for almost a full month after my last day.
Tell me you're American without telling me you're American
Cool! Good luck with the next chapter of life!
Congrats!

I am traveling through Greece with my girlfriend. After a nice (and exhausting) hiking route we are back in the hotel – one of the best rooms I have ever been to. She is having a shower and I am chilling over the bed. At this very moment everything feels great.
Damn. That's worth savoring.
Traveling is amazing! Wish I would do more. Stay safe!
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.
Moving on up! Congrats on 20!
