This is great advice, coming from someone who pondered using the “Mother was really sick and had to manage her illness and passing” excuse if I ever went back, as it was true for me too. (I’m sorry for your loss, it’s a really painful life transition, I know.)
I ended up taking a slightly different approach. I worked in IT project management before I retired early. My LinkedIn resume shows me currently employed as an “IT consultant” and will until I decide I need another job or I kick it.
Interesting. I always wanted to play the drums but figured I was too uncoordinated.
I really enjoyed “INVESTORS DELIGHT!” On 0 Samarkand Rd.
What’s the story with these places?
OP, this person knows what they’re talking about. One of the screening questions when I was diagnosed with ADHD had to do with clumsiness. My own parents used to call me, “An accident waiting for a place to happen.”
I have slowly been able to improve my clumsiness a little bit, by exercising regularly with a trainer 5 days a week. One of those days is a balance-focused day and after 2.5 years I’m actually able to hold poses and (mostly) stay upright and steady. But it was SLOW going.
The night before my 50th birthday, after I had been taking this class for 7 months, my husband and I were on a sunset cruise and his phone fell out of his pocket and over the side of the ship. I reached out with one hand and successfully caught it. THAT KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!
I celebrate that day every year as much as my birthday now. I managed to show off hand eye coordination before I was 50!
Get screened… :)
Yes, servers can disable downvotes. Beehaw does that, for instance. I’m on lemmy.world which allows both. I prefer both because I think it helps silence bad faith participation with less active moderation, but I respect that some places don’t want it.
Not to be That Guy (but promptly being That Guy) do you have a source? I’ve not seen anything about him asking for a plea deal. Thanks.
His persecution fetish is showing
It honestly sounds like the place is run like a clown car.
No, this loser has a persecution fetish, nothing more.
It feeds his narcissism to think people care that much offline.
Plot twist: All of this is made up.
What we outside fail to realize is these people live in a wholly different reality.
This.
I passed a church today with a sign saying, “The Bible is the absolute truth!” I realized that anyone who truly believes that bullshit - enough to make it a statement outside their church - is completely divorced from sanity.
These people do not perceive reality. At all. They are locked in a deranged fantasy world in their heads. They are severely impaired and their news sources and pastors work full time to keep them mentally ill and absolutely incapable of understanding reality.
Half the battle was finding something to put in the tray besides Reddit. Jerboa it is!
When my FIL what was a veterinarian was cremated, his remains were in a nice wooden box on his old antique desk. My SIL always referred to it as, “Doc in a box.”
