Actually, 13*28 is 364, not 365, so there's a leftover day.

Despite that, I'm still in favour of having 13 4 week months. Can use the last day as a special no day. Would be hell for computers, though.

Edit: I misread, indeed it makes sense now.

Coworkers used to put the phone on speaker when trying to activate windows keys in computers. It would happen where keys had to many activations they said so we would have to go through and automated process. Anyways. When it was reading back the like 20 characters code we would all start yelling, what or repeat, then the code would start over from the beginning. I still have no idea why people continued to put their phones on speaker when they did this because there were about 5 of us and we all did it to each other

Sounds like a good way to get your ass beat. Wouldn't recommend this. There are a lot of crazy assholes out there.

I was today years old

I round up to 4.5 just to bake in emergency funds.

OP describes the building as a “new build luxury apartment complex with all the amenities”. I’m not a real estate expert but I don’t understand how something could be listed as “luxury” and “with all the amenities” without having washer/dryer hook-ups. It almost sounds like it should have the hook-ups and OP just hasn’t bought a washer/dryer pair yet. But I do agree with others that OP should purchase one of those small countertop washers that drain into the sink or bathtub.

Edit: apparently I’ve completely misread that that they were moving from a new build luxury apartment complex with all the amenities. Hopefully OP did not edit it without telling us. Not sure how I misread that like 4 different times but apparently I did. I’m still leaving this up because I still think it might be beneficial if they buy one of those small countertop washers, either a plug-in or completely manual, depending on what might be allowed in their new complex.

I used to get so excited about my 5 paycheck months! (Paid weekly)

I did not like NA… at least the NA meetings near me. No one was serious, lots of selling and using at meetings. Not a lot of sobriety time. I did try AA for about a year. Met some old dudes that were very wise. I never made it past step four. And eventually slowly stopped going.

Thank you so much.

Do you always set your clock 15 minutes back so that when you’re late you’re actually on time? Weird way to live

Real LifeProTip, ask yourself first if proving someone wrong is worth it (worth your time, energy or peace of mind). If the answer is no, then just let it go.

A real win is you being at peace and not wasting time on trivial things 😉

For real, supposedly there is some kind of neurological feedback loop between face and emotions. Like how they say smiling actually makes you feel happier. I've heard Botox interferes with this

So much this. A good part of what affects you both mentally and emotionally is the people you surround yourself with. This includes family members. I know because I have experienced living in hard times and had to live with my sister, who along with her husband, only made me feel more of a pariah in their home the longer I stay there, and it REALLY messed my head. Compared to when I lived with my brother, I had a sense of peace and able to express myself more freely.

Just start moaning and they'll turn it off real quick.

The person that feels guilt is the new person suffering the knowledge of the folly of the old person. As we mature we are ashamed of our self-seeking and selfishness of our youth. This new adult has to show compassion for that youth for it is a stepping stone of growth and wisdom, and if the stars align just right, compassion and love for all of creation.

This is the type we use at our beach condo, works well for small loads.

"Feeling Good" by David Burns was helpful for me after I got sober and tried to pick up the pieces. It's a self help guide to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a great resource.

Guilt is essentially a wasted emotion; best bet is to keep moving forward and focusing on how you can do better today than yesterday. It can take years to earn back the trust and respect of friends and family, and sometimes it will never happen. Just do your thing and let your actions speak for themselves.

What? Everyone I know is paid bi-monthly.

I was where you were. The old standby works because it works: diet and exercise - both physically and mentally. I refused this for years, but finally tried it out due to desperation and it just works. I've been off of medication and my esteem has never been better. Watch what you put into your body. Watch even more what you put in your brain - that diet is even more important. Exercise your brain with puzzles, gaming, even reading helps (writing is best for what you're going through). Stay away from negative/dark media, keep social media at bare minimum, etc. There's no quick fix to this, as it wasn't quickly that this developed in you already. DM me if you have any questions, and best of luck.

This may sound a bit silly, but there are some movies that have helped me to realize that we change over time. For me, the Korean movie called SPRING, SUMMER,FALL, WINTER, AND SPRING helped me to realize that our life had chapters and lessons learned and how we can grow and adapt and learn and change. Maybe it can help you too. Another movie that does something similar is called SYNECDOCHE,NEW YORK. It's kind of a bizarre movie, but it sort of helps you to remove yourself from yourself and see things from outside of your own eyes and experience, if that makes sense(it probably doesn't) also. If you have time to sit and listen to a nice song/speech remix, the song EVERYBODY'S FREE by BAZ LUHRMAN helps me to realize that life is long and interesting and that things happen. We can't change the past, and maybe can't fully control the present and future, but we can have some control over how we feel, and it can just take some micro adjustments or micro readjustment to change from feeling bad to better or even good. Best of luck to you:)

When I did the laundromat I would take a book or work and enjoy my time while doing the laundry. Sometimes you can go later at night if needed.

It's so annoying! But yeah, lots of crazy people out there now. Not only do I hate people shopping around while on speakerphone set to max, but the increasing number of people I see in cars having video calls (or texting) while driving. You can see a person on their window mounted phone, driver staring/talking to them. Speakerphone in car, hold your phone up to your ear in public places, if necessary.
