It’s my baby brothers first birthday today :3 so I’ve spent most of the morning setting up decorations and opening presents for him because he’s not got the fingernails for my family’s terrible wrapping and overuse of tape

I just realised I completed 1000 hours of Hitman. I think maybe this is Hitman 3 only from 2021. The Hitman 2 and Hitman 2016 was not counted here as I had played them in separate disc on 2016 and 2018.

Failed driving test today. Again.
Tired of being failed.
It’s alright, have no issues with that, but I have issues with finding another date.
This system doesn’t give any available dates at all.
The closest may pop up in 6 months or even further.
I’m sick to wait that long again.
And I will forget everything I’ve learned by that time, and will be forced to throw away another ton of money to prepare. That annoys me.
Hope school will find a sooner date
UPD: they did find a new date, relatively close, not in months at least, so it’s a good news.
Hope this time will finally pass

In the vet’s office with Harpy because when we picked her up from daycare she was phlegmy, hacking, and vomited a couple times, although not severely. Too much similarity to Peach’s last days, so I’m really nervous. Probably nothing, puppies have all kinds of issues, but it’s nerve wracking all the same. Between Peggy and Peach, I’ll always be on edge when Harpy has o be seen.

Ok, so she has aspiration pneumonia, common for bulldogs, and she’s doing ok. She’s a bit lethargic but otherwise still happy to interact with people and her appetite is unaffected. Got some medicine for her that should help clear it up, she’ll just need to rest more for the next week or so.

Yacob hit the jackpot today!!!
TLDR: Short version equals unexpected paid weekend days off!
I had to be at O’hare at 5am to start a 4 day trip. It was a bear of a trip. 3 or 4 flights per day and two of the layovers were super short. A no fun weekend basically. We land after flight one and some passenger accidentally takes my rollaboard suitcase instead of his. It take the customer service people like 20 min to even figure out whose bag it is and when they finally call him he’s already half way home. So while they are figuring out how to get the bags swapped back I’m calling the schedulers to see what they wanna do with me. I fully expected them to just reassign me to some other flights after I got my luggage back. They didn’t! They got me as a passenger on the next flight home and I’m on paid time off for the next three days now! Sometimes you win!

I don’t really know if I should share these kinds of things here (or anywhere online).Maybe it’s too personal.
I don’t really post here a lot anymore. A lot of the people I feel like I knew on here have moved on. I don’t know if many of you even know who I am anymore, but I think I’ll do this just for my own sake, to vent by writing.
My sister is dead.
My sister struggled with mental health since she reached adulthood, has been on different types of anti-psychotic medications for 30-ish years (she was 50), was on diabetes-medication, and recently got (I believe) Ozempic for her weight problems. She lived alone. She never really contacted me except to ask for help with tech questions. My impression was that she simply felt anxiety around people. When we met and talked it was always for short periods.
Today, my father tried to contact my sister to make plans for next weekend, when a birthday is coming up. She didn’t answer. A handful of hours ago he found her dead in her apartment. She’s probably been like that for a few day. We know nothing about cause of death as of yet, but my father being the type of person he is he instantly told me that he saw that her stomach looked like it was filled with blood, making it likely to be some kind of internal bleeding. I guess that’s preferable to suicide…
This is the first “real” death I’ve exoerienced in my life. When my grand parents died, I was either too young to understand (my grandfather on my father’s side) or had been prepared for it for a long time (my grandmother on my father’s side).
This hits me in ways I can’t parry. I feel fine and think maybe I’v calmed down, then it blind sides me again.
I don’t know how to handle it. Doing things that are “entertaining” like playing games doesn’t feel right. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep. Meeting people at my job place tomorrow and having to repeatedly answer the question of how my weekend was with this makes me not want to go. I have the right to take time off for this, but I don’t think I have anything better to keep my mind off of it during the day.
My sister is dead. It’s a strange thing. Doesn’t feel real.
Sorry ‘bout being a downer.

A situation where I’ve got nothing to say that is either helpful or contains any kind of advice. I’ve never lost someone that close before and can’t imagine it. It sounds like you’re keeping a handle on it for now, and I wish you all the strength needed to get through any period of grief or feelings of loss you have or may still experience. Strength and courage, man.

I would like to offer my condolences for your lost Kent. I don’t have advice but I’ll say this - there really is no correct way to process or grieve imo. Just allow yourself to think about it for as long as you feel you need to and don’t do anything you don’t want to for right now.

I’m sorry to hear, I can’t imagine losing a sibling. I hope you find the strength again and peace of mind. Even if it might take some time to come to grips with the new reality.

My wife and I had to leave our graphic design job because of multiple issues including what we are alleging is harassment, discrimination and also punishing us for not wanting to use generative AI.
So we made our own business that does the exact same thing, except we’re the bosses (and only employees). It’s mostly done for Australian businesses BUT we have print on demand novelty shirts that ship globally. We’re adding more every week or so.

Best of luck with it! Totally support you not wanting to use generative “AI”!
