You ROCK at this adulting thing! That is an amazing feat to have cleared those credit hurdles and raised your score to boot! I’m so happy for you and I’m sure you are feeling so much lighter. Good luck on finding the right deal for your new car.

Congratulations on this feat! I hope you enjoyed them as much as you are proud of your achievement.

Some days, it really can be. It’s definitely a ride!

Congratulations on MULTIPLE job offers! Go, you! I know how relieving it is to get those cards out!

Weekly Achievement Thread Time! Since I’ve missed a few, what have you done in the past month that you’re particularly proud of? Let us know here so that we can crow along with you!

Oh, do I feel you. I usually go to the VS outlet across town, where I can get double the goods for the price (and they last longer than the other stuff, at least for me). Hopefully you can find a good deal on the intimates!

Good on you - and I hope you got a cool prize for winning trivia! I’m glad that you can look back and say that you are glad you went, which is almost better than winning trivia.

That is SO awesome! Congratulations, and way to build that CV!

Oooooh - macarons! How delicious-sounding, and I’m glad you took the plunge. Faculty applications are soul-sucking and shitty, so it’s good to have some sweetness in your life to get you through that process!

I have a narc mother and both of my parents are Trump-loving conservatives. I blocked my aunt (my mother’s sister) and her bitch daughter (my bitch cousin) on all social media and also via phone/email. I am ready to take this step with my mother, and I strongly feel that your father has crossed the line multiple times…

Congratulations! I did this last April, and it is so empowering! Best of luck on your new venture.

I am so sorry for your loss. She sounds like an inspiration and her family sounds wonderful. I am so glad you were there for them.

My best little guy getting ready to play dominoes. He didn’t win and is still a little pissy about it.

(2-week) Weekly Achievement Thread!
Since we didn’t get an SNS last week (unless I missed it!), please let us know what you’ve been up to awesome-wise these past two weeks! Big, small, medium-sized ... let us crow along with you!

You are a better person than me, that is for sure! That is quite an accomplishment.

Unfortunately, yes. That’s why I wound up with a postdoc instead of a “real job” (according to my colleagues). Sigh.

As someone who’s applied for a good 150 faculty positions this year alone, I completely feel you. It’s so disheartening and soul-sucking, but I’m crossing my fingers & legs something works out for you!

Didn’t that shower feel great once you climbed in? I completely understand where you’re coming from as I have those days, too. And good on you for being patient with yourself and taking your meds. Work & all of this recent bullshit can be so draining, and it’s hard to remember to practice self care. Thanks for the…

Oooooh - you all sound like stars, regardless of the alcohol intake! Good for you!

So wonderful of you to give it some TLC, and I’m hoping you’ll have not only a great frame to salvage and use.
