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.
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.
I'm frankly in a phase of life where I am seeing with ever fresh clarity all the mistakes I've made that have led me to the rather solitary life I lead. And many days I'm just keeping my interactions with others to a minimum so that I don't create any opportunities to feel shit about my interpersonal skills. But, and so, nonetheless, I manage to find self-pride in very little things.
Like how this week I learned all these keyboard shortcuts to make my editing of a text document faster. Or today, some kid was lingering by the basketball court awkwardly — like heartbreakingly awkward in his own skin. I asked him if he wanted to shoot a few before I headed home and made him a deal that I wasn't allowed to go home 'til he shot a 3-pointer. I let him have as many tries as he needed until he get one.
Hey, I just want to suggest that you treat your past self as kindly as you treated the awkward kid. We all fuck up on things, it’s okay.
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.
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
I reunited my wife with her semi-estranged son on Mother's Day. Feeling pretty damn great about how today turned out.
Planted a small orange tree in the yard. Dug a big hole. Mixed topsoil and citrus fertilizer. Expect to see first fruit in 3-4 years.
Mother's Day gift for my wife.
Love that! I hope it stays healthy and you get a fruit for many years.
Got some certifications
Also, from a different trainer
Very cool, I know that took a lot of dedication.
When you have nothing going on for long enough, you find little things to do to stay sane.
I also made this game but haven't worked on it in a while:

And made a Minecraft add-on that lets you tame bats that can see ores through walls and attack enemies.
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.
My partner and I managed to go through immigration to move to another country. We landed yesterday.
I did well training and sparring visiting a martial arts club in the next town. I'm preparing for a tournament next Sunday, my first one.
i know i'm breaking the rules, but i'm really proud of the dude that just got some certifications.
I woke up, did not have a meltdown and did not yell at anyone.
I am! I cooked two awesome meals and helped my wife finally migrate to linux.
"Tonight", man it's 7:46am /s
Either way on the proccess of moving all my vps's and local homeserver all to nixos, just for the fact I can easilly update them all from one flake ( nixos system config ) from one single system without ever directly touching thise system.
Also almost finished the whole "The witcher the last wish" book, need to buy the next one.
I put on my pants frontwards today!
Aye, thats something to be proud of because I have definitely left the house with my pants on backwards before LOL
Ima try again tomorrow.
I handed in the proposal for my graduation project last night.
Nice. Good luck! What's the project?
Thanks!
There's a research side and a programming side to the project.
I'm gonna research how to implement an automated feedback tool for homework assignments on my school without loss of quality (didactic literature research) and ask students how they feel about faster, but (semi) AI generated feedback (interviews). I'm not particularly excited about this part of the assignment tbh.
The other part is actually implementing it, wich is gonna get a github, teams and ai integration and a release on kubernetes. Those are all gonna be very fun challenges to figure out and I'm looking forward to that. But first I have to do the formalities.
