Feelgood Friday... what's something good that's happened this week?
-
No matter how big or small we want to hear your good news!
I wrote my first ever bash script to make my job less tedious and I'm happy.
Time to refine and expand it now! -
I did not smoke for over 24 hours! Since weed and tobacco were running out at same time I decided to take the plunge and not buy more. I made so many unsuccessful attempts at stopping recently, this one feels different. I finally managed to feel comfy being single and it starts feeling quite good, this being gloriously and forcefully myself.
I also scored some freelance work projects again, very surprisingly, since the AI hype there had been nothing for over a year. I didn't even have a Windows machine at home anymore when the jobs came in and had to scramble to reinstall the stupid thing again (of course my laptop didn't want it back and it took some effort). So I guess having to have Windows again is the only bad thing in a pretty good week.
This is all-around great news! Keep up the good work and keep your Lemmy family here updated. We rooting for you!

I left home 15 years ago for work. In that time I've traveled to dozens of countries and lived in several places in the USA, but no place has the diverse, welcoming people as home, and the natural beauty on display.
This week, work took me home. I've gotten to work with organizations that I was a part of as a child, eat at restaurants that I loved and worked at, and visit old haunts. Today I drove by the house I grew up in and parked outside to take a selfie to send my mom, and a lady stepped out, and I (awkwardly) approached her and had a lovely conversation about the house. They've fixed it up so nicely, and we laughed about how weird it was (originally built as a single story partially underground, and then had a second story built on top and turned into a duplex, and then once again lived in as a single family home).
I'm home. And I can't wait to come back when I quit this job, and bring my family here and move back into the same neighborhood I grew up in, and live in joy until I die.
This is so deep! Thank you for sharing. Best to you with your future plans. It's nice to have wholesome goals like those.

Time to refine and expand it now!I had to Google what a bash script is so I'm in awe if you! I'm really pleased you've found a way to improve work

I had a really good day yesterday! I trained, got loads of work done, watched an episode of Patrick Melrose which I quite liked and my friend texted unexpectedly about meeting for lunch next week. I felt really good all day
Neat! Enjoy - and have a great weekend!

Finished the rough draft of a book six months in the making.
That's a huge milestone and good on you for doing that. I can't imagine the effort involved in writing a book. Celebrate this weekend!

It’s midsummer’s eve, and they’re selling delicious freshly roasted almonds which are always popular around here. We as a group have gone and danced around the midsummer pole, eaten delicious waffles, drank homemade strawberry drinks and munched on roasted almonds. Now we’re relaxing in the shade of oak trees and talking about positive events, sharing funny images and tidbits from our various social platforms.
Now that would be an example of healthy living. Keep up the great work!

Took my lady out for a 1 month anniversary dinner and she spent the night for the first time. We are giddy with each other and feel like kids again (we’re in our 50’s).

Yes! Neither of us has felt a spark like this in over a decade. It feels wonderful!

Stick with it. At least the tobacco. It will improve your quality of life in so many ways! Good luck!

It's just for overall fitness, I'm in my 40s so need to work on it. Although if I'm honest I only really train so I can eat more....

For sure. Heading to camp.

I know the struggle. Working out so you can eat what you want is a fine reason and goal! Good luck!

That's really sweet.
I'm not a programmer or anything so I have no experience with scripting at all. My job is supporting customers and their business phones. The script allows me to take a bunch of info from these dense readouts from the system and filter out only the relevant details so that if I need to ask another team for help I don't have to copy/paste and format a bunch of different stuff manually. It just spits out the info I need from a bulk of mostly needless info.
It's already saving me time so I'm glad I decided to just dive into this scripting stuff head first.

Started a new job after taking the risky decision of leaving the previous secure one. This first week went very well! The team is super welcoming (and similarly introverted), passionate and healthy (compared to my previous toxic manager). I feel like I’m going to learn a lot, without burning myself, and it’s very exciting
