      I was in your situation this time last year. I got laid off in July, hired in September, and let go again in October. 💜

    On Tuesday November 19th, I had a stroke. My goal is to make it to next Christmas.

    Money? A job. My cat to be alive again.

    Actual likely items, probably one game from steam that sibling buys me.

    Hate to add to the grumble but I’m not feeling it this year. I don’t really want more material things (boo!).

        For me it’s all the stress at work around the holidays (work harder before/after) then being invited to a ton of social things (I work from home and I’m happy for the most part being alone all the time). I actually love my job too so it’s more annoying than anything that everyone is in la-la land while I’m just wanting to get stuff done.

        I hate showing up like a clown and not connecting with anyone; it’s all so fucking corny. I guess that’s married life though.

    Two words: Horse. Testicles.

    For every politician or TV pundit that has ever lied or misled the public in the direction of ignorance and hatred, I wish for them to receive a finely wrapped and bowed package containing nothing but horse testicles.

    Don’t let this just be a christmas tradition. For just £2 a month, you too can sponsor a politician to recieve a gift every single week. Think of the difference it would make.

    I mean, I would have been just fine with my brother getting me a gift card to a shop I like, but he says that’s boring and how I should ask for something else. The best thing about the gift card to this shop is that it allows him not to worry about getting something I didn’t want, even though I’m not super gift picky.

    So, yeah, the gift card to that place, which sells everything from games (old, new, and related stuff) to anime/manga stuff to even just board games, is usually the only thing I ever can think of since I know I won’t ever be disappointed.

    I’m traveling internationally to visit my fiancé and spend our first Christmas together. I just want the trip to go smoothly and take full advantage of the 120 PTO hours I’m burning without getting an urgent work call.
