Re: What 2020 was and what I want from 2021

Well hope you find something @Adge and yes I was working for ah's but it's my choice so its also an excuse when leaving

Re: What 2020 was and what I want from 2021

I hit my savings goal

Its good

I may reward myself with 1 months off. I'll see how I go.

Already an argument has started this morning because we have 1 mode of transport. Apparently its too difficult for people to accept that I've got stuff to deal with as well.

That's really good with savings @Flying_Hams  , month off work might put a big hole in it though ?

perhaps help contribute to a plan to get other car functional .....

Re: What 2020 was and what I want from 2021

Left this lying elsewhere on the internet

" <><> my old friend! It's so good to see you. I was wondering when you'd make an appearance. It seems so long ago since I last contacted you, but hey here we are already in late Jan 2021. What a world aye?

Thank you for your words of support - they mean a lot and I don't say that lightly.

Yes it is time to move on. Last Wednesday was the last straw. I came close to extending my hours but realised and asked myself - "Why should I have to put up with more of this bs?"

Like I said before, I was never interested in this or passionate. But hey two days ago I reached a savings goal. I was slightly over that goal by only 15 bucks lol. But the point is that I made the goal happen. I was thinking of taking a month off to apply for other things and live well within my means. I could probably even chuck some into a new savings account. who knows and more importantly who cares - its money and the lure of it is nothing to me anymore.

I have checked out rebrickable - where people design their own creations and upload them with an instruction manual. It's super creative. I was thinking of ordering a mini maserati and making it. But for now I will finish off the mosaic and ensure that I get them done or else they will sit here gathering dust

In terms of something totally new? Somewhat. Golf. I went to the driving range a few weeks ago duroing the break and hit them reasonably well. I am aiming at getting back into that. Will wait and see though

In terms of getting outdoors - its hard for me because I find it hard to go places on my own. I've organised a few meetups in my city at the beach and that went okay. Was thinking of maybe doing some more. I am finding that quality over quantity when it comes to friends is more important now anyway. My social circle has gotten smaller. So I want to be able to stop that getting smaller. It's hard though. Very hard.

I hope you are around soon. I have missed chatting and catching up.

I'll be around here more thees days too as I find it cathartic to come back here and chat to newbies and old favourites. I'm finding it hard with the covid stuff and also just generally as I have seen friends take up recreational drug use and party culture to the max which is just something I won't do and find dull and tedious. I've gotten into Dungeons and Dragons - expecting that to take off soon with some friends - the set up is a bit of a drain but that's the hard part over.

See ya soon 🙂
