Half of my books are sold. With the help of my wife, I managed to pack 500 parcels in the past 6 days. It was such an amount of work. Unwrapping, signing, bubble foil, book box, labels and then bringing all this with my Peugeot 208 to the post office which basically does not exist in Germany anymore. I brought the parcels to a 10sqm supermarket "Official DHL store". They were medium delighted, but I am so stoked to have half of the circulation gone. Had been impossible without my wife.

So there was a paid post on Facebook on access to OpenAI's SORA, had a few hundred comments but they were hidden for some reason, downloaded the install file they linked, did a virus scan on that bitch right quick and bam, was a Trojan. I never go on Facebook and today, I almost got fucked, what a sess pool, see you in another year Facebook.

yesterday afternoon, i thought spring was officially here when i saw a toy ball bounce over a roof, rolling into the driveway then street, being chased by a girl through the front door and her brother around through the side gate.
this morning, if the temperature doubles, it will still be freezing. I am happy to slow cook ribs today instead of shooting on location which according to weather.com will have dropped from 73°F yesterday, to 23°F by this afternoon.
- Weather's all over the place here in Blighty too at the moment. Ostensibly- unseasonal bouts of good weather sprinked with days of near sub-zero chill.Nairn

Does anyone have any idea what those phone calls are where someone says "Hello" after you and then they either hang up or then say something else like "how are you" and then hang up. Totally robots, but i don't get what the gameplan is. they don't even try to scam or anything. technology is so weird sometimes.

- all i say is hello when i answer and then i just sit there.capn_ron

I'm "quiet quitting" my job.
I feel I'm underpaid, and my three best friends at the office left. Two got different jobs, and one just flat out quit. They work different roles and went to small companies, so no room for me to join.
I asked for more money and was denied.
My direct report is lazy and I'm tired of following up just to get things moving.
So I'm working less and just enough to keep people satisfied. And whatever takes too long, I can blame on my higher up.
No one has ever accused me of not doing my job.
- Walmart Greeters have a such a tough job, they're underappreciated and underpaid, I don't blame you one bit for quitting! Best of luck on your job search.utopian
- Run as soon as you have secured a good B Plan. Good luck!OBBTKN

- Just us those hours todo freelance work. Get some extra income.milfhunter
- you're more likely to get paid more when you get a new job.pango
- Feeling the same at the moment, but that's because i'm so busy and there's more focus on process than creativity. But ya know, ups and downs. I'm lying flat ;-)Ianbolton

- The best way to get a job is to have a job my man! I'm freelance / contract again (the last 2 years or so) AND man the job market is not great...ideaist

- Capitalism suggests that you should hav even doing this from day one, at every jobnb
- @ideaist I thought the job market was supposed to be great? Lowest unemployment ever.yuekit
- @yuekit; I’m in Canada and a lot of recent layoffs in and around our specific sector has created job seekers without (many new) jobs...ideaist
- ...especially as I live fairly remote and remote jobs became “hybrid” jobs which became (once again) on-site.ideaist

Is there a good resource for video inspiration like dribble and Beeharnce is for design? I have to come up with a unique execution for a video on sustainability (yawn) and I'm struggling for ideas/inspiration.

working on a v. important document for a v. important client which will lay out certain planning and traffic concerns for the next 30 years or so.
one of the sections is numbered 6.6.6 so I'm changing the weights of each s, l, a, y, e, and r in all the paragraphs. toying with altering the kerning but I don't want to make it too obvious, especially in long-ass Swedish words.

Sometimes I would like my kitchen to be like an industrial kitchen, all in stainless with a ceramic floor with a drain so I can clean everything with a high pressure hose.
