So, for most of the globe 2021 is done and 2022 is starting, and even with how relentlessly lovely 2021 was, I was curious: What were some of your favorite things about the last year? (if any?) It doesn't have to be personal, the internet's been stuffed to the brim with idiocy far more potent than ever, so maybe there's just some dumb poo poo that happened at some point you really enjoyed. Personally, after 2020 and the first bit of 2021 being a bit of a shitshow (even ignoring the pandemic), I got an interesting job offer in the summer, and ended up moving cross-country to start a job I very much enjoy. It's the first job I've had after graduating that's been enjoyable to do and work with, and I've been managing to turn things around for my health, both mentally and physically on top of it all. On top of that, I've become an uncle for 2 nieces this fall, and they're both healthy and growing strong (though I haven't been able to meet them both yet.), and I wish them the best. And what about all of you?

I explored a garbage-strewn forest just outside town; turns out the forest is in great condition further in, and home to lots of interesting birds (including my avatar) and meadows of tiny carnivorous plants. A real blessing in a pretty grim year.

Got promoted to exactly the level of work I’m best at, am gonna use that to possibly go do that level of work at the power plant I helped build for their conversion from natural gas to hydrogen, lost forty pounds, got properly medicated for my ADHD/TBIs, modded PYF for a second, overall not bad.

I got married. Yay. Also, my wife and I started a 00s themed club night towards the end of the year and had two very well attended nights, including my wife making her first ever DJ appearance. And she smashed it. Was very proud.

I got an unlocked and decently powerful smartphone for the first time ever (I had a history of just getting potato carrier phones), and got a smartwatch, and am now living in the cyberfuture.

My wife and I bought a house and moved to a new city! The house needs some work done, but we absolutely love our new area.

Got a job heading up a customer support team for a game dev company. So I managed to do up the old utility room into a decent office. Got phone calls from my daughter’s school saying despite lockdowns, her learning remains above and beyond her yeargroup. I was main “teacher” during her lockdown period. While I did put on the weight I lost during my previous job, I still feel healthy-ish. Know I need to get back and exercise so that’ll be a goal for 2022. Grew some chillis and made some killer cayenne chilli jam, which blows the roof of my mouth off…it’s gorgeous. Oh, triple vaxxed, didn’t catch it.

I moved in with my girlfriend, got a dog, and quit a job at a company that was clearly circling the drain just in time for them to actually pay me the back pay they owed rather than just writing it off in their later bankruptcy declaration.

Left the human medical field. Now work in a veterinary lab for the same pay and about 1/3 the work and stress.

Both my parents died and my partner left me for my closest friend, which has given me the means and incentive to quit my soul-sucking job, move to another city and enroll in college full time. Here's to 2022 -- I know I came to regret saying this last year, but this year can't possibly be worse! But this year begins with a brand new start. I know nobody here, I have no attachments, no past or future. I'm just here going to college, blank slate.

I had an annual doctor appointment on Thursday and apparently I lost 11 pounds in 2021, so  I don't feel like I did a good job on my health, but had been trying to improve my diet, so I guess it helped? I still get jack poo poo for exercise and am carrying at least 15 pounds more than I should, I think.

This thread is nice I clicked on it to say gently caress nothing was good at all but reading some of these at least made me feel good for a second. I'm happy for some of you:)

I got put on a Personal Improvement Plan. For those who know, this is a job death sentence- it means work wants to be rid of you but can't actually prove you're bad at your job. Everyone in the SA jobs thread advised to get to the choppa and exit. After 1 week of seeing it was going to be pointless, I quit the next day while my manager was on leave. After searching in the best job market in my life time, I found a job with 1/4 the commute time (hence saving a full work days 7.5 hours of commute every week), higher pay, helping my local community and with a huge amount of less stress and tickets. I even have my own office (which I don't have to share due to COVID restrictions). That was the best thing that happened to me, 2021. Comstar has a new favorite as of 05:10 on Jan 9, 2022 |

I made enough money to afford the parts for a way overdue (last time was 2013) computer hardware upgrade (sans new GPU, that hunt will commence when I get my tax refund) even though I didn't have the opportunity to actually put it together until earlier this week (most parts were bought on a Black Week sale and the last thing I needed arrived just before New Year's, so not a long wait once I had the hardware anyway).

Bought a house. Knocked up my wife (on purpose). Our dog died, which is obviously bad BUT the good part is that we got to be home with him all the time in what ended up being the last ~18 months of his life. credburn posted:Both my parents died and my partner left me for my closest friend, which has given me the means and incentive to quit my soul-sucking job, move to another city and enroll in college full time.
