It's like decades ago, when Word Perfect was the word processor for legal offices. Three years after it came out, there were job ads requiring at least 10 years experience with it...

Found it rather odd that my Manager had no issue with me being sick, for a few days.
He repeatedly asked me to take more time off, to get well.
Am thinking about it, because in all my years of working, this is a first for me. I actually feel a little weird about it, too...

Never before have relationships been as problematic and conflict ridden as they are now. As you may have noticed, they are not here to make you happy or fulfilled. If you continue to pursue the goal of salvation through a relationship, you will be disillusioned again and again. But if you accept that the relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation, and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness that wants to be born into this world.

I think I’d say speak for yourself. I celebrate my 24th wedding anniversary next week.
Consider yourself lucky that your manager now seems to have a human side!
In what context? Which people? What do they expect for free, and in which part of the world?
I've worked at my university for 23 years and I've had nothing but positive "boss" experiences. It's a more liberal minded environment though, and I think the culture is more understanding of personal feelings and wellness.
I’ve just celebrated my 12th and it certainly gets harder by the year. I hope we make it to 24!
We are on £364 currently and that's for only 2 of us! The rates haven't gone up to the new levels yet...
Given what we dealt with in the past, I can’t imagine anything that would be harder to deal with.
Two bits of advice for any couple.
- Always be the first to apologise regardless of who’s fault you think it is.
- Never go to bed angry. Always resolve any issues before turning in.
Good advice and I wish I could follow it. I do apologise even when she’s in the wrong as I have to break the atmosphere sometimes. In 18 years together I actually can’t remember my wife ever apologising to me for anything? If she’s finished sulking I know she’s over it so just take that lol.
Just saying hello! I'm still not so great. Dropped down under 90 lbs again. On another note, I'm using two of the same phone (I will likely drop one line now) because it turns out I get eye strain and almost lost my vision from the 13 Pro Max.
I've just returned to my Android roots. I started there. The 5c was my first iPhone. I want to still come by to see how everyone is. I hope you have or will have a good Monday.

I keep thinking I should be doing something more with my time. But, my body says otherwise...
What a difference a few wire crimpings make.
We are scheduled (at some time in the near future, before the End of Time, at least...) to have our home Internet connection upgraded from copper to glass (i.e. Optic Fibre).
We had hoped that the copper, which had been leaking Internet Bits all over the place, would last until the upgrade.
It didn't.
So we rang up the nice people who supplied our Interwebby stuff, and they rang up the NBN* people, who rang up one of their contractors, who came out.
He spent about an hour here, poking, testing, muttering, etc. He eventually re-did three sets of connections (cut the bad ends off, trimmed and re-crimped the wires). And lo and behold, the Internet came back up.
Not only that, but the speed has gone from 70 Mb/s to 90 Mb/s.
Now all I have to do is work out what to do with the great pile of broken Internet Bits that leaked out of the dodgy connection outside the house.

Blue 5c if I remember correctly! Yeah? 😮Just saying hello! I'm still not so great. Dropped down under 90 lbs again. On another note, I'm using two of the same phone (I will likely drop one line now) because it turns out I get eye strain and almost lost my vision from the 13 Pro Max.

5c was my first iPhone too. Kind of miss it! This 11pro is the best feeling iPhone since then.

Stay strong, it was nice to see you again!
Possibly a very sad day. 
We could truly see the end of an era
I am talking of our Queen of course. No one else like her or can replace her, seen so much in her life from a World War to Covid, met leaders both bad and good from around the world. And many members of the public. A women totally dedicated to her duty for life.
EDIT: For those that don't know she's very ill we think and almost her entire direct family have gathered by her bedside, all the official statement is is that she is under medical supervision at Balmoral in Scotland. But it's never good if all the family is called to be with you
Still 96, can't complain about that.

Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth II. She passed away this afternoon peacefully 😢😢😢 God rest her soul.
Our Queen is dead, God Save The King.
RIP, a fantastic servant to our nation. I feel very strange surprisingly, it’s unprecedented for most living people in our country.
