@variablepulserate thanks mate. How’s everything with you?
@matigo I am. It’s a long weekend for us here. A welcome relief from a busy work week. Hope you’re doing well mate.
Hello everybody! I’m sure welcomebot will alert me as to how long I’ve been away for but I I know it’s been far too long between drinks. Disgusting really.
Anyway, I won’t bore you with what’s been happening (unless you really want to know of course). Just know that I’m still alive and breathing and life is pretty good.
@matigo there are a few gameplay channels that I watch regularly but because of Xmas etc I haven’t been able to watch anything. There’s so many new simulation games out at the moment.
Last day of festive break before heading back to work.
I don’t plan to do much today, other than catch up on some YouTube and playing some simulator games.
Part of me is thinking I should log in to the work server so tomorrow won’t be such a nightmare but we’ll see.
I must remember to look at the Steam sale before it ends in a few days too.
So with almost 5 minutes to go, I want to wish everyone here a very happy and prosperous 2024.
I’m sure welcomebot will take great delight in sharing how long I’ve been absent for but my aim for 2024 is to be more social here.
While 2023 started off pretty badly, it’s ending with me in a happy place.
Cheers and see you all in 2024. 🎊🎉🥳🍸
@matigo indeed. Our federal budget got handed down today too. Seems we’re in the black for the first time in 15 years … meanwhile we’re negotiating a new EBA at the day job which is proving to be quite difficult - new pay rates were announced last Friday and no one is happy about it.
@phoneboy See, like I said - nowhere near the scale of what you went through. But you came through the other side and I know in time I will too.
That being said, some days are better than others. Do I miss him? Yeah I do, but I can’t spend my time worrying about whether he misses me and whether he’s made the right decision. I know it was only 8 months but still … you don’t just go from talking to someone you consider special day in day out to barely anything at all and not feel something … right?
There were bits of small talk in the days after it all happened. But it’s been almost a week and no contact. I have to keep my resolve and be strong.
