I sometimes look at old junk I used to do but honestly it wasn't like I had much passion back then either and I just remember my youth being just a mess, I tried to bruteforce it but I was just a talentless hack that wasted all those time for nothing, and it led to me being burned out. Over the last year I thought I had it figured out and will start anew, learn new things, etc, things aren't hard as long as I put my heart into it, right, but here I am out of gas again and my brain just refuse to cooperate.
At best I hope for a time where maybe I'll have some kind of luck again. That something or a bunch of things will go right for me and make my burden less.
You're not kidding. Prices for food and energy have gone up wildly here in the US too. Gasoline is several times more expensive than it was during Covid. Food prices have kept ratcheting up. Now I'm hearing our natural gas prices will increase by about 50% in a months' time, and where I live you can't even switch providers. I (think) I was able to lock in 1 year of a highly discounted electricity price, similarly those costs around here are going up almost 50% at the end of the month otherwise...I hate posting my little money issues after those posts, but I can't help feeling it's better located here than in the 'Something irrelevant' thread. If it is confirmed, and it will, companies who bill you are always right, we are fucked sideways.
So yeah , money was better for 5-6 months, not great but I discovered the joy of not using overdraft. Life was not that bad.
Then yesterday we went to the local supermarket for food and everything has augmented to the point I felt stunned. 200 euros and we didn't even buy meat. What will it be for a full course, motherfuckers ?
But the cherry on top was late, today I receive a mail from my energy provider, our monthly bill is going from 118 to 192. Now, with the world in the state it's in, an augmentation is no surprise, and I would hate to be whining about it on paper. But MOTHERFUCKERS that's, steep is not even the right word here.
Gas went from 76 t 150 a month. Just nearly doubled.
Yeah, I’ve been hit by energy hikes too.You're not kidding. Prices for food and energy have gone up wildly here in the US too. Gasoline is several times more expensive than it was during Covid. Food prices have kept ratcheting up. Now I'm hearing our natural gas prices will increase by about 50% in a months' time, and where I live you can't even switch providers. I (think) I was able to lock in 1 year of a highly discounted electricity price, similarly those costs around here are going up almost 50% at the end of the month otherwise...
I guess energy costs are one thing that isn't just inflation and gouging, because my employer is probably also being hit with extra costs in these specific ways (so it's not like I can say 'hey give me a 50% raise!')
Good teachers are so rare. Some of my most cherished school memories (of which there are very few) involve inspirational, funny, authentic and passionate teachers. You learn more from them in one lesson than a mediocre teacher will teach in a year.My 9yo daughter's teacher unexpectedly died yesterday during his holiday in Spain. Telling her this news was so hard for me, because I knew how sad it would make her. I'm sad about it as well, that guy was the best teacher ever. He never came to school without his guitar...

Absolutely FANTASTIC news ! Couldn’t have asked for a better one just before goin to bed.[Hidden content]
Why did the POS cut your tickets ? You aren’t looking hard enough for a job ?I have the worst social worker and I think she is going to fuck up my case that will make it that I loose all my rights. And its stressing me out quite a bit. Hell she even said "she knew she was mean" when she took away my right to social restaurant. So I can't get good meals. Thankfully I have my rice cooker and lots of rice and pasta stored!
Also Its only half to the month and have zero money. Maybe a thing like that motivates most people but for me it completely demoralises me to that extent that I again only see suicide as inevitable. My old psychologist refuses to see me because I had to take a break during my studies last year, they direct me to my local mental health place but they say they will never have time for me and they send me to some other organisation but missed calls and stuff like that and it just became too much.
I know I can go into some very pessimistic places in my head but I keep failing at life so its hard not to.
Said I had too much money monthly. Weird since I only have the minimum that the others at the restaurant also had. But yes I think she is trying to motivate me to find work, the only thing she has helped me with the last year, is to ask me once a month if I have looked for work. Completely ignoring the plan I and the last social worker set in motion and with pole emploi.Why did the POS cut your tickets ? You aren’t looking hard enough for a job ?
