@nessisonett This sucks. You're resilient enough to see it through I'm sure, but it can be a long and hard road. For now, enjoy your Christmas and remember that you are now way less of a junior than when you started this job. I don't know about any of your skills, but I'm sure they'll be worthwhile to some company!
(To this day it baffles me that socialist is used as an insult, even though we all just want the rights we deserve.)
@Kairuuu Take care! I hope you find some value where life takes you these days. Even taking a step back from people, even wasting time and even feeling sad all day can be valuable in some morbid way. It sucks.
A pre-emptive Merry Christmas one and all; users new, old, and second comings alike.
I've been working up until 5pm today so can finally chill now but still getting one or two things prepped for dinner tomorrow. My daughter is three now so it's the first Christmas she's really got and she is super excited. Luckily she's gone down to bed alright but we'll see how long that lasts..
Merry Christmas all, I’m at my girlfriend’s families place in Winchester and then going to Exeter to see some more of her family and my own. Would prefer to do less running around and a bit more time sat on the sofa drinking with a controller in my hand but I should catch a few days before back to work on the 2nd. Hopefully be able to sneak in a little Steam Deck in the meantime 😏
Have a good one, whatever you’re doing.
P.S my girlfriend got me a nice Polaroid camera which I will have some fun with! This is Bibble…
Yeah, I’d be interested to read what gaming related Christmas loot people got.
Personally, I didn’t get anything gaming-wise (I got some clothes, treats, and a couple kitchen items) but I might use some gifted funds to buy a game or two in the sale. We’ll see.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Not any gaming related gifts but I'm sure i'll get something with money/vouchers.
For my Christmas my parents gave me a Star Wars Oodie, my nieces and nephews gifted us a voucher for eating out. I got a bottle of Kraken from my mother & father in-law. My wife gifted me TMNT the IDW collection volume 4, Dungeon Crawler Carl book 4 and volume 7 of Attack on Titan Colossal edition. My sister in-laws got me a book on Michelangelo (artist not the Turtle) and vouchers for Amazon/waterstones. So overall I've been spoilt not bad for a guy heading into his mid 40's.
Hope everyone had a great time and enjoys many more fun days during the holidays.
@KidRyan Oh brilliant, meet Daisy, she's very soft. It's not Christmas here yet but Daisy came by a couple of weeks ago. The Person who gifted her to me, and that fox and the jelly beans has no children of her own so whenever she visits she usually brings plush and such. I'd never say no to one. The fox isn't a plush, it's a statue. They can't be snuggled, too rough. I collect fox paintings, art, plush etc, I think she ran out of fox things. Daisies name was also on the tag.
@GirlVersusGame That was very sweet of them! The koala is a gift from my mom, something I can hug and think of her whenever I'm alone (or when she passes).
@KidRyan It really was, she's like that. Aw that's very sweet of your Mum too, hopefully she'll be with you for a long time yet. Are koalas your favorite animal? Mine are foxes and puppies. That's very generous of Grant too, you are lucky to have such a good friend. I haven't seen Yu-Gi-Oh but I did see a Power Rangers movie, I haven't seen Barney either but I know of him. Have you ever seen Bear in the Big Blue house? I've seen that one, he's sort of like Barney.
This is one of my favorites. His name is MrLongEars, he's a lynx and goes everywhere I go.

@GirlVersusGame My mom will be 70 in February, hoping she'll make it to her 90's. I live with her in a house she owns, but won't be fully paid off for another 20+ years.
My fave animals are moose, puppies, and foxes (also bears and kitties). I've never seen Bear in the Big Blue House, but I know friends that love the show as much as I do with Barney.
We've known each other for 10 years now, so we're pretty close. He buys me Christmas and birthday gifts yearly. I used to do the same for him, when I had a job.
@KidRyan Oh seventy isn't old at all, one hundred is old, She's still young. Moose? I don't think I have any plush moose, they are huge and would take up half of the bed. Probably poke you with an antler as you slept. You should watch it sometime it's a good show, we have big bears in Russia. I see them sometimes roaming around, but run when I see them because they might be hungry and they are very fast. They can be as much as ten feet tall, they might not even fit into a Big Blue House.
I don't see them much in Winter. They eats lots of food then go to sleep for a long time, as they sleep the food they did eats gets broken down inside them. It happens so slowly that they aren't hungry again for quite some time. Unless perhaps you had a tasty sandwich or big basket of berries. They'd eat those in one big bite. We have wild foxes too, I often hear them at night. Ten years? that's a very long time, I don't think I've ever had a friend that long. He sounds like a really great guy. Kitties are brilliant too. Have you seen all the Anime on that list? I've only seen Lucky Star and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, is Spice and Wolf good? I think I have a book by the same name.
