efaardvark Posted November 15, 2024 Share Posted November 15, 2024 Still employed. Found out today that quite a few of my co-workers are not. My group was hit relatively lightly in the first round of layoffs earlier this year due to several upcoming critical events. (Mainly Psyche and then HERA and Europa Clipper just last month.) The 530 people let go that time represented about 9% of the lab's workers overall but only about 3% of that total were from the group I'm in. This time things went the other way. Of the 325 additional people let go yesterday 93 of them - about 28% - were from my group, including several that I worked with on a daily basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just carry on as you are and try not to think about them, which isn't an easy thing to do. 6 hours ago, Sakura said: I am starting to run out of room on my desk and shelf and I've kinda moved to setting up a hallway hanging shelf display So, what does @Zeref think of all your Sasori's and such like invading the hallway? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasuke Posted November 15, 2024 Share Posted November 15, 2024 I've woken up early and just enjoying my last day here as much as I can since I fly home tomorrow. I'm going to spend most of my day talking and hanging out with Zeref and Sakura until bed. I'll have to go to sleep relatively early as I have to be at the airport at 7 AM. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind She keeps the Sasori mostly to her personal space. The hallway she is doing layered hanging shelfs for Boruto merchandise or Naruto merchandise which I am a fan of the anime so I have no problem with that. I leave most of the house decorating to her she has good ideas with designs of shelfs and how to hang things up in a way it looks modern and nice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he doesn't mind since he's never said anything about it lol and judging by the response above I don't guess he cares I do keep all my Sasori's on my desk or room for the most part. ~ As for what I'm doing today just hanging out at the house since there isn't much else I can do. I played some OSRS and right now I'm watching some.. news story unfold on the streets below. It looks like there is about 20 police cars outside, an ambulance, a homicide unit, and they've got dogs down there too I don't know what's happened but it's the middle of the big city right in the downtown area so who even knows, it's always something lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeref Posted November 16, 2024 Share Posted November 16, 2024 We had to say goodbye to @Sasuke today who left to go back home. We took him to the airport then stopped to get breakfast at Mcdonald on the way home. I came back from that and went back to sleep for a little while and just been enjoying the Saturday playing games and watching TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohayotaku Posted November 17, 2024 Share Posted November 17, 2024 Temps made it to 60F, so I did what will hopefully be the last of the yard work before winter (predicting highs in the low 40Fs after midweek). Still need to clean out the gutters, but will hire someone for that since I have balance issues due to an inner-ear problem. I love autumn, but dread it’s end. Likewise, I enjoy Christmas & New Years but have never had any fondness for winter, even though I now live in a less rural area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeref Posted November 17, 2024 Share Posted November 17, 2024 Went to Ihop with @Sakura. This is one of the first times she's been out of the house since her surgery other than doctors visits. I think this is the first time she's been out to eat at a restaurant since it. Other than this I've been only watching anime and playing a game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after this next week of doing classes online I'll be able to better get back walking around classes and stuff in person. I liked being able to be back outside though. Being stuck in the house recovering is sooo boring. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasuke Posted November 18, 2024 Share Posted November 18, 2024 Got up early despite still having some jet lag with the intent of getting myself back into my regular sleeping routine. Seems to have worked. Spent the day running to some shops to pick up some groceries and food, collect my mail, and sort out some things. I've been gone for two weeks there was a lot to get to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikyou Posted November 18, 2024 Share Posted November 18, 2024 So far woke up to severe thunderstorms, been a little anxious and a lot on my mind so I didn't do too much so far. I am posting on AF, going try and play a game even though I suck at gaming. Then making graphics and post it in my blog where I post my GFX art or other types of art there from now on. Lastly try and talk to my loved one if I can to help cheer me up more since I feel alone and left out. You truly got to love emotions.

Zeref Posted November 18, 2024 Share Posted November 18, 2024 Worked, mostly. The temperature is starting to go down here a lot so I didn't feel like going out at lunch time to walk or get food and just stayed indoors instead. Over my lunch break I did some chores loading the dishwasher, laundry, some sweeping. Nothing all too exciting. Lots of work to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I just kinda took it easy the rest of the day. I've been watching TV and being very boring x.x 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 This morning I went out to do the weekly shopping. Lots of traffic today, probably because it was raining and people decided to take the car rather than cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezo_chan Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 I can spend all day reading an interesting earlybie, but I didn't do anything today as I have a headache and basically feel awful. I hope others feel better. As it is, I'm lying in bed and stupidly browsing anime discussion forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 Working on a new project for that I got assigned today.

Sakura Posted November 20, 2024 Author Share Posted November 20, 2024 Did my classes online ~ working on some GFX for people but I really didn't feel like sitting at the computer very much longer after being on the computer for school so I'll finish it tomorrow. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a busy day also always a good thing to take breaks, especially from tech stuff I think in my opinion. Just please don't push yourself too hard Sakura dear.

It can be fixed but it felt like a day was wasted. I'm getting ready to go work out to go burn of some anger about it lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
