My friend, an immigrant to my country, was laid off two weeks ago and wasn’t able to land a new job. She was 4 months away from getting her PR, but without a new job, she wouldn’t qualify. After many stressful nights of crying, doing resume review and interview practice, she YOLO’d and sent the CEO of her old company an email asking to be employed until she got the PR, and the CEO simply said “Sure”.
Absolutely crazy, and rare to see that sort of compassion. I’m super happy for her, even though it might be awkward, but getting over this cusp will lock her in on her new life.
Haven’t had a smoke or vape in more than a week now. I know I’m not out of the woods yet but this is a big achievement for me.
You know how you get electric cars? Know how you get electric bikes?
You get electric boats now!!!
Currently floating about on one on an alpine lake and it’s completely silent and nature is just fuckin amazing so why disturb it. Just trundled past a duck family and they barely moved
I went on a vacation trip last week. We took the ferry fron Connecticut to Long Island, rode our bikes from Orient Point to the Hamptons, took the train to New York City, hung out in Brooklyn for 4 days. No car the whole way. It was awesome. Brooklyn is super cool, biking in NYC is the best way to enjoy the city. I am full of ideas for the next trip.
