Let myself make an impulse decision so I’m getting a tattoo that is completely silly and stupid. I’m hoping I won’t regret it

I’ve seen an uptick in shirts and bumper stickers along the same lines and they always make me happy. “You are valued” “You’re beautiful” “I hope something good happens to you today”. They’re great messages and seeing them worn or displayed is a force of positivity more people need, for sure.

I can’t say if the quality is still the same, but I bought a Chromebook when they first came out for $99 and that little buddy has lasted me a decade now. It’s seen me through a deployment, a degree, several moves, and has been through a load of abuse and come out the other side working as spiffy as day one, minus some scuff on the screen. (Unfortunately Google has recently aged it out, but I’ll find a use for it with a virtual machine perhaps).

I imagine most little netbooks are similarly built and can withstand a boatload, although their computing power definitely lacks.

Ehhh. I wouldn’t say the only people who want an office setting are managers. There are definitely some bonuses to going in to work for some people - a very “to each their own” situation.

But I think the distinction there becomes the “traditional” office setting, because, yeah, no one likes that corporate bull.

I agree with the sentiment but not the words, Haha. I work 4x10s and would by far rather work on a Friday than a Monday, although I do switch it up sometims to take advantage of holidays and such. But to each their own, ofc.

Dang. This definitely hits hard. What a great line and what a great insight.

I think a few other commenters have said the same about already knowing what I want but just not being able to take the step. I think this will help.

Thanks :)

I’ve done this countless times for smaller things, but I’ve never thought to apply the coin flip to big changes. I’ll give it a shot.

I appreciate your story and your advice. Thanks for the kernels of wisdom :)

I tried to go on vacation in the beginning of June. Was going camping in a very remote area in Glacier NP. But lo and behold, the day before I left, my DnD group gave me COVID :) I spent all of June sick and am only just recovering finally. But I have no more PTO, so it’ll be a while yet for me again.
