  1. 2 months a go I locked my gf out of the house while I was having a severe Meniere’s attack

    3 weeks ago, my gf locked herself out of the house when I was at the office

    2 weeks ago, I locked myself out of the house while my gf was at work

    yesterday my key broke off while opening the door…

    what in the karma fuck is this.

  2. So my bf had to go abroad 2 weeks ago. He got back last week, but he “brought” a cold from abroad and got pretty ill at home. (No Corona though (test).)
    Now he’s good again and had to go abroad again this week, but obviously I am the one having the cold now + I’m all alone as well. Yeay! 😒

    I even got my last cold pretty recently. It’s like 5 weeks ago…? This never happened before.

  3. I’m ending my 15 year fiction book reading drought and bought dutch copies of ‘3 Body Problem’, ‘Dark Forest’ and ‘Death’s End’.

  4. I’m a teacher. We spent 3 years preparing and implementing the new state-mandated curriculums. We warned them from the get-go it was unrealistic. The amount of things we’d have to cover in the amount of time with the amount of resources we had was near to impossible. “Oh you’re just exaggerating” some would say. “Why are you complaining you have so much holiday” some others would say.

    ONE YEAR AFTER implementing the new curriculum the Supreme Court goes “oh yeah no this is bullshit scrap it all start from scratch.”

    So now we’re stuck in an educational limbo where the senior classes are on the old curriculum, the juniors have the bullshit curriculum (that they have to follow until they graduate) and the freshmen have this half and half amalgamation of whatever the school/teachers decide is the best material to give while it’s sort of unclear exactly which curriculum is best to follow.

    All the while we’re getting shit on by the government for handing out too many c-attests, kicking too many kids out of our schools, not enough teachers, not enough resources and some point in the future it’s gonna be time to re-implement an adapted curriculum that hopefully this time is the ACTUAL curriculum

    Oh and we gotta save a couple billion in the budget somewhere. Benneke Weyts and his cronies fucked up big.

  5. Sigh. My job is very okay, but my boss is bit of a pain in the ass sometimes. ‘Correcting’ mistakes I made, that I have to explain to him aren’t mistakes, that I then have to rectify all over again. Shifting the goalposts on what he expects me to do all the time. Unclear communication in general. And sure, I make a bunch of mistakes regularly, because I’m learning on the job something I have no background in. But all this combines to make me both frustrated with all the mistakes and also very uncertain in my work, always on the defensive. He on the other hand is apparently completely unfazed by his own mistakes. I envy his boomerish oblivious self-confidence sometimes.

  6. Gisteren nog eens naar de dokter geweest, het was sinds 2018 geleden!

    Nu krijg ik te horen dat ik een MRI scan moet laat doen van mijn rechterknie, spannend?!

    Also mijn bloed laten trekken zonder duizelig te worden, go me! (serieus vroeger was het vééél erger)

  7. I’m part of a small team of employees organizing activities to bring everyone closer to each other.

    Today we’re cooking hotdogs at work because “liefde gaat door de maag”

  8. Drugs are wild…had to wrestle a co-worker and friend into restraints and jail…like fighting a wild animal.

  9. Of course all the trains in Brussel-Zuid are on time EXCEPT the one I need.

    Still made it to hospital only 2 minutes late.

  10. Soooo, I know I haven’t been around much recently but some IRL stuff happened.

    Like pretty much everyone else, I got ill recently. Whether it’s a cold or the flu is up for debate. Not Covid because symptoms cleared way too quickly for that.

    On Saturday I will (hopefully) legally become a woman and no longer be known as $deadname1 $deadname2 $deadname3 $lastname but rather be called $girlname1 $girlname2 $lastname

    Also, stupid work antivirus being allergic to any dirty word makes browsing reddit a slog (and this shit does get logged. Whether anyone looks at it is another matter).

    CBD oil + strong anti nausea meds seems to be a winning combo for anxiety symptom suppression

    Figured out I’m probably on the autistic spectrum. Told my mum who said “I had suspicions when you were a child but your dad was convinced (read: in denial) you weren’t”

    Feel really happy with where I’m at in my life right now. As ever, there’s room for improvement, but I’m sooo much happier than I was even a year ago.

  11. I just realized that the mojito hype seems to be dead and that they are increasingly rare in bars, where they would be everywhere a couple of years ago.

    Can we finally aggree that most of these bar mojitos were shit and had no place being on the menu’s?

  12. Obviously the one time I unexpectedly and urgently need to use a bus for transportation there’s a national strike.

  13. Okay so, for the old-school posters here I have some tea.

    Our long time buddy Maroefen warned me yesterday that they were thinking of kicking me from the B2 discord channel. Apparently there’s a mole who has been leaking chats to this sub or something and they suspected me. As the prophecy was foretold tho they did indeed kick me a lil bit later. I didn’t ever go into that server tho except when they pinged me or something so idc, but it’s funny how the “lemme say the n-word” ppl got rid of one of their few left-leaning members. So much for fee speech, not like I was the mole anyway lmao.

  14. Starting my second ever teaching internship in about an hour. Feeling slightly under the weather and I’m super nervous, especially because my mentor didn’t even bother to reply to my email or have a quick look at my preparations (which she said she would). Keep your fingers crossed for me!

  15. Feeling ill again. Neck and shoulders all tensed up, stomach feels weird, not hungry at all, but I did eat 2 sandwiches for lunch which made me feel better for all of 20mins.

    Sometimes I feel like I get ill in front of my computer
