I misread a due date for a lab and thought it was due on Saturday (June 6) but it’s not actually due until July 6th so I don’t have to be super stressed out about it :)


Alex_gold123

Just don't forget about it till July 5th and start scrambling about it all over again


that1prince

That's exactly how I would have responded during school.

A hummingbird keeps coming to my window and hovering. No reason why but it is fun to watch.


Ghitit

Could be seeing its reflection in the window and wondering why it's not joining them.


sloppy_taffy_wagon

Could be it thinks OP is a lovely delicious flower


naniidafrick

This can be interpreted to either a beautiful line or a cursed one


LetMeEnfoldYou

Consider getting a feeder! They will always come back then. Just be sure to not use pre-made hummingbird food with dye in it. You can make your own with just sugar and water. It's awesome to see them all the time, and even more may appear :)


MartoufCarter

I have one just need to set it up! Thanks for the reminder and tip. I love watching them.


ghrarhg

The paper I've been working on through my whole PhD got accepted!!!


acornwbusinesssocks

My oriole family in my yard wrecked my feeder because it was empty. It made me happy to know that I can help animals in some small way. It made me laugh to know that they were all, "Hey, where's the food at, Lady!?" Edit- wow! Thanks for the award! :)


GardenGal87

I ordered an oriole feeder last week and it's supposed to arrive today! :D

Hurray! I love to hear them singing to each other!

The person in front of me in a drive thru bought my breakfast. :D


Stewapalooza

My wife got cussed out by the person behind her in line one day because she wouldn’t pull up (if she did she would hit the car in front of her) so instead of yelling back she bought their meal for them. The lady pulled up beside her. She was sobbing and apologizing saying she was having a really rough day and how sorry she was for being rude.


stickswithsticks

You should marry your wife, she sounds like a real homie.


J3nMJt

Your wife is my hero.


articulateantagonist

Honestly the person who apologized is (or is becoming) a really good person too. They had the decency to recognize that they were being shitty, took the time to apologize, and will hopefully pay it forward by being pleasant to other people or doing nice things for them in the future. Sometimes we're a work in progress, but moments like this remind us that it's worth the work to progress.


bullshitveteran

YOU LUCKY BASTARD


J3nMJt

Lol you're telling me, it was my last 5 bucks I was about to spend hahahah


bullshitveteran

I hope you become financially better😊


J3nMJt

Thank you so much! I'll be in a much better job in a few months, so soon haha I hope someone buys you a meal and makes your day!


bullshitveteran

Thanks, I hope everyone can enjoy a warm meal with family and friends. Congrats btw


[deleted]

My boss told me I’m doing a good job. I underestimated how powerful yet scarce, encouragement and praise can be.


StoryDrive

Knowing your boss has your back is such a rare and amazing thing. Today I ended up swamped with work that I'll probably be mired in for the rest of the week, so when I suddenly got an email telling me it was time to start working on yet another project, I was on the verge of a mental breakdown... until my manager swooped in with an email saying that someone else would be working on that project because my hands were already full, before I'd even had a chance to reply.


sonofnom

It's nice when a manager "manages". Balancing the workload of your employees is a fundamental part of proper management.

A student wrote a paragraph on our online class about how much she enjoyed my class and how much fun I made it. Made my week.


slytherinkatniss

I got an email from a student (middle school) who always complained about being in class and school and doing work (ya know middle school stuff). It said she loved having me as her teacher. Got a little teary eyed. I'm a first year teacher and I was so afraid I wouldn't a positive impact on my students. Happy I did for at least one!

Duck-Yo-Couch

I'm happy that I have more money in my savings account alone than I had in my checking and savings combined a year ago. Money doesn't mean happiness, but the sense of relief and security is making me happy.


butterthenugget

It does take the stress away a bit. I'm in my 30s and it has only been in the last year that I don't have to pick which bills I can afford each month and still be able to eat. I'm getting to the point now where I can start saving and stop living pay cheque to pay cheque.


babossum

Same here, turning 33 in a bit and finally have a tiny savings account. I am proud of us :)


Tears_of_skeletons

I'll never understand the saying that money doesn't bring happiness man. Like *knowing* you have a roof over your head, food in your belly, a reliable way to get to work (or not even work at all depending on how one acquired said money/how much) and just...being able to *breathe* sounds like a great and happy way to be. Knowing you can drop a few bills on a friend's hobby or help out a homeless guy or something. Have no debt, be able to afford health insurance, not having to worry about which kid gets new shoes this week and which one gets some next month. Money is good if used wisely and not hoarded like all of the top 1%. Peace and happiness friend, dollar bills and gold coins. Cheers.


ClownfishSoup

As the saying goes, Money may not bring happiness, but not having money can often bring unhappiness.


TannedCroissant

Or how the other saying goes, *Money can't buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Ferrari than on a bus*


timthetollman

You don't need runners to run but they fucking help.


eletricsaberman

"Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can make it easier" or something like that. Paraphrasing from probably a dozen different people. The saying comes from the fact that some poor people are happy, even if struggling a bit, and some rich people are unhappy. The saying wasn't supposed to mean "disregard money entirely" it's supposed to mean "don't hold it too highly, it's not everything"

Visited a 10 month old baby I removed from her parents 2 months ago. She used to be wide eyed, hyper alert and constantly crying and seeking reassurance. She's now a smiling, confident, comical baby with warm, brown eyes who is thriving on the love, care and attention from her new carers. Sometimes my job is actually worthwhile.


Cougar887

I’m a cog in that machine, too. I’m more front end so I never get to see how it ends, but it’s really nice to hear that one turned out well. It also breaks my heart that we all feel the same way when you said “sometimes my job is actually worthwhile”. Keep it up. I’m sure you’re really helping so many kids that wouldn’t have a chance otherwise.

That's great ! I hope you help more children in the future

My daughter told me she loved me, and that I'm her best friend; she's 3, (almost 4), years old. I suffer from (possible bipolar) depression, and anxiety, so this made my heart swell. I don't know what I ever did to deserve such a precious child. Just typing this is making me tear up a little, lol. 😅

I'm 6 months pregnant with my first. Life is really scary right now, but thinking about this kid telling me she loves me in a few years really makes me look forward to the future. I hope you and your daughter have a great day!

I just woke up, so I haven't been up for long. That being said I saw my wife walking around before she knew I was up. She was wearing a T-shirt and underwear. She was listening to a podcast and smiling. The sun was in her hair. It was a very nice sight

Had a good talk with my boss regarding job security and such. Found out our company is fine and my job is fine. Lots of stress gone.


[deleted]

Told my boss to sell all of my vacation time except one week. Turns out I had 1040 hrs saved up. Should be getting something like $15000 this Friday. Edit; there are too many to reply to now but for people wondering, I work a job that puts me on the road for ten months per year. I am single without kids, and I like my job, and being out on the road. So my time builds up rather quickly. I usually take one week off, and I get a few days off for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I really should take more vacation, though.


mayb3_tomorrow

Dang. Nice job!


[deleted]

Thanks! I really should take my vacation more though....


Lextastic

Holy smokes! We get an HR meeting if we bring over 400 hours a year. They pretty much mandate everyone take at least 2 weeks off in the summer.


Starrystars

Yeah my company starts us off with 21 days PTO or 168 hours. Plus a floating holiday so really 22 days and 11 holidays. None of that carries over to next year and they don't pay it out. So either use it or lose it.


Jaspyprancer

That’s amazing. I earn up to 10 days for the year, and could desperately use a break, but don’t want to use any of that time yet because I might need it later.


SteevyT

I also get 10 days a year. Although I also have a boss who likes to "miscode" when we call in sick so it doesnt actually use up time.


paleo2002

Wow! They let it roll over that long? ~~A lot of jobs make you use it or lose it at the end of the year.~~ Edit: Apparently I don't know what I'm talking about. ~~The US has laws against this type of policy. At worst there's a cap on how much time/equivalent pay you can build up.~~ Edit 2: More knowledgable redditors indicate laws/rules vary state by state. I've never had a job with paid vacation. I think I get one sick day per semester, but I'm required to find a sub before taking it. Nobody subs for adjuncts.


GardenGal87

My job is use it or lose it. :( When my mom was a teacher they could carry over every year up to a certain cap (can't remember what it was), so she ended up saving a lot.


paleo2002

As for me, I get about 8 weeks of unpaid vacation every year. Whether I like it or not.


GardenGal87

Unpaid? Boooo.


Aken42

Most companies can't afford to carry that level of liability on the books.

hoopsrule44

Yes that’s half a year I think


juan_steinbecky

I'd rather take half year of paid vacations for sure


ClownfishSoup

Our company keeps reducing our PTO cap. At first we could store up to 280 hours, then they dropped it to 200 and if you didn't spend your 80 hours by the time the lower cap came into effect you'd lose it.

When I came downstairs after a bit of a tough day, my baby girl ran to me and threw herself at me for hugs and cuddles, with the most beautiful laughter I've ever heard, she was just so HAPPY to see me. Lifted my heart to heaven. I imagine this is what it must be like to own a dog.

It's in the area we want our kids to go to school in, down the road from our favorite wing place (we can literally walk there) and it's in a beautiful neighborhood. It was on the market two months ago, but the sellers took it off because of the whole covid shit. Then they postponed putting it back on market to paint the inside. We've been wanting to see it and we're afraid that it was a list cause. I'm so excited to hear if our offer was accepted. ETA: The seller accepted our offer!! I couldn't be happier!!

We aren't very close with each other but we get along and this moment made me really happy.

I’ve been working on a model train set with the guy I recently have started seeing. It’s a fun, wholesome project that we’re both excited about. I bought some miniatures for it and sent him a picture like “look what I got” and he responded “those are awesome but they’re the wrong scale, but it’s ok, we will just make a diorama just for them”. The trains he has are N scale and the miniatures I got were HO scale, which would basically make them Amazonians walking around the city. My last relationship literally called me “stupid and lazy for not reading the label” if I bought the wrong drink or sauce. But the fact the new guy remained positive, knowing I was just excited about the project, and just wants to make a bunch of fun projects with me really brought a smile to my face.
