just got my ballot in (and it’s been counted)–vote early and often folks
I broke up with my fiance today, it was was the most painful thing I’ve ever done
First post after returning to Beehaw after I left the fedi for a while (feels good man.jpg)
Otherwise, trying to control the absolute fire hose of propaganda and manipulative media regarding the US elections. Oh, and I don’t know what I’m going to make for dinner.
Had my name change hearing a couple days ago, I’m now legally Audrey! Going to the office for the first time in girl mode and I’m terrified. I’m honestly kinda concerned that the timing of this might prevent me from voting. I live in Seattle, though, so it won’t affect the Presidential election
Hi legally Audrey :3
Woohoo!! Go Audrey!!! You’ve got this! I’m so stoked for you!! :)
I finally got a new iPhone for the first time in six years and the difference is staggering. Things are advancing so fast that there’s really no reason to go cradle to grave anymore.
Had an intense weekend. I went clubbing twice and now suffering the hit on my immune system at work, oop.
Starting to figure out a way to talk to my friend about her self neglect and poor handling of her friendships. Sometimes life is a lot easier than I think it is. Just have to talk to people about stuff, it doesn’t need to be the perfect conversation each time as long as I’m bringing up the subject I guess.
scheduled when i plan to vote (early). need to do my research first!
good news: jean (chi mix) got a new personal best on sunday for her 100-yard dash (8.65 seconds / 23.65 mph)! we have another event this coming weekend at a different club, and we’ll probably meet up with some social media dog friends. :)
bad news
i will never run at that club again. i saw multiple people harshly correcting their dogs (one person was hanging their dog by the collar), and when i handed jean off to the releaser, they pulled her leash so tight she was clearly in distress and trying to squirm her way out of it. i probably should have left then, but i was in mild shock, so i let them take her. she ended up trying to bite the releaser when they went to take off her collar, which she has never done. this is not her first rodeo being handled/released by strangers, so i’m reluctant to place the blame on her at all. for the second run, i took her collar off before i handed her over, and i guess she was fine? i didn’t stick around to ask. in any case, i ordered her a tag-free collar she can run with next weekend since she had such a bad experience, and i don’t want her to repeat it.
i’m pet sitting for a sweet border collie from the same rescue where i got echo, so that’s been fun. speaking of echo, we’ve stalled a bit on our nose work course, so i need to get back into that once i’m back at home. been having too much fun with treibball.
@alyaza Are you guys voting already? Good luck and hope the orange man only gets to serve fries for the rest of his life. Here it’s a cold day. We’re already experiencing temperatures as low as 1°C and the radiators are cool as well! I’m basically waiting for the heat to come already. Yesterday, I heard some water going through the pipes but when I touched them they were still cold. I don’t know what’s going on.
I think I’ll get my plants inside the house and I also tried to look for a bigger pot for my ficus. Sadly I cannot find anything in the regular supermarkets, so I think I will go to a specialized store.
I’m happy about the outcome of the Moldovan elections (about which I wrote more broadly in the Politics community) and I’m looking forward to our elections too. They are the most anemic presidential elections to date and I’m really not sure if I should vote for the lesser evil or cancel my vote…
I’m about to replace my 2016 ThinkPad because I fear it may be showing signs of failure (it tenporarily wouldn’t recognize any connected microphones nor even its built-in one), but I don’t know what I should do with it after. Would people still buy it despite its age? It has two 256GB SSDs in it (a built-in one and then one I added).
I think it’s likely someone would still buy it, especially since it’s a ThinkPad. I see people on computer nerd forums go crazy over happily buying old ThinkPads, although I think some models are more popular than others. If nothing else, it’s useful for parts!
Maybe it would be worth a try to post in a fitting community with more info about the model and stuff and ask for the opinion of people who are more knowledgeable. You could also try searching the sold listings on eBay for your model to see how well they’re selling, how often, and for how much.
I sent mine via fax/email, no less than 2 email confirming receipt.
Still harassing my family to fill out their ballots.
nothing much tbh. left my internship since I wasn’t learning anything from that(I mean I was learning something but it wasn’t worth it). other than that nothing exciting is happening.
Good, so far. Caught a fuck up a work for a project I did in January last Friday. Couldn’t get it figured out. Normally that would have ruined my weekend but I was able to put it aside and think about it today at work.
Stupid calculation error because we had been shuffling numbers around at last minute client request. Figured it out now, and I’m back on track.
Blew my dietary macros today, but I’ve been doing good in that department otherwise
