Not necessarily asking for advice, more just venting.
I am desperately trying to get out of my current job due to an extremely toxic workplace environment. The department head is the most micromanage-y person I've ever dealt with in my life. By that I mean, she asks people to send her their emails and then edits the emails or approves them before they're allowed to be sent (to other people in the company, not clients or anything). The micromanaging has gotten so severe that I'm getting emails from her every day questioning my "reasoning" for doing things a certain way. If we're more than 3 minutes late to work we get written up (we're salaried).
I can't take it anymore.
In the meantime, I've been furiously applying to new jobs (at about 150 applications so far) but like pretty much everyone else here, have gotten basically nowhere.
I know that quitting without a backup job is a terrible idea in this economy, but I just don't know how much of this I can take before I snap, tell her off, and then get fired.

Am going to have to go on disability soon I have chronic fatigue and bipolar is become very hard to find and keep a job and paying for my rent is being a major hassle. I check on the social security site I would only get around 1,164 dollars a month. Am only 24 so I haven't put that much into social security I tried getting section 8 but I don't think my apartment takes section 8 and my city's not taking section 8 applications as of right now. Anybody ever tried living out of a storage unit? I know is not ideal and illegal but at least I would be able to pay for every month with my plasma donation money.

Hello everyone,
I'm Agnieszka, from Poland, 32F. My husband - Kamil - 29M. I am truly sorry for my english, I still have a lot to learn. I hope I'll be able to convey about what happened.
All of the tragedy happened one year ago. We both worked in IT industry. He was a service department manager, I was at this time working as IT support specialist. A year ago my husband got hit by a car while going back from work. He was always riding a bike. He waited for the cars to stop to let him pass on a bike lane. Then someone decided to make another lane and drove in the middle of the road, hitting my husband. Here's an article in Polish language about this: https://www.24opole.pl/47758,Potracenie_rowerzysty_na_Chabrach,wiadomosc.html He was hit by a car, then he flew around 10-12 meters and landed head-first on the car at the other lane. Front of the car was crushed - he weighs 130kg and his height is 2m so he is MASSIVE. Well, after the accident he was not able to clean himself, dress himself or eat. I was helping him meet the basic needs as much as I could. He had sprained neck (or twisted? not broken but hurt), left leg had crushed muscle (he had a bunch of keys in the pocket that pierced the muscle), he lost control of his right hand. No broken bones, thank God for that. He had to quit his job because of the hand. He was not able to perform efficiently and was recovering so slowly that he had no other choice. Then he developed social fobia. Not a little bit but severe social fobia - he is not able to go out without me, he is scared to go near the road, he panics when we talk about job interviews (he is searching for a job in IT that won't be bad on his body, like programming). He is scared to go to the doctor even! He is on pills right now that helps to stabilize him but it was hard to find the right ones - SSRI didn't work at all.
The insurance company paid for most medical bills, but not all - rehabilitation, medication and some visits in specialists were not paid at all. They wanted to pay fulfillment (like... my husband was hit so here's some money for you) for such accident, that's great. And then we saw how much - 1000zł. So around 250USD. For a accident that left him without a job. So we took lawyers and we started a trial in court. Now we still wait for a verdict.
Now I started my own company and I take whatever job I can to pay for the medical bills. We had to go private - free helthcare in poland is good, but we have to wait years to be able to see a specialist. He had to go fast. Rehabilitation costs, medical bills and all of the medication costs thousands of PLN, even when I convert that to USD it is still in thousands. I have no savings. Today is 15th of May, I get paid from the main company I work for around 7th of every month. From the different small jobs I get paid randomly. So today I have no money for us to live.
I cannot paste a screenshot of my bank account so I'll write it down: Private account: 0,56zł Private account savings: 0,08zł Second private account: 6.89zł Company account: 0zł Company account savings: 0,22zł
It is all after I paid all the bills. Yes, I am able to pay the bills, but now I am not able to buy products for a meal or for a dinner. I cook by myself so I need some rice, potatoes or something like that.
This is how the situation looks every single month from this accident till today. But today is worse - I have around 3 weeks till I get paid or if I'll be lucky to get some minor job to take.
Yes, I am selling some of my stuff, even my beloved pink Samsung S21 with cases and stuff. Noone interested so I'm posting here as my last resort.
Thank you in advance. I'm truly sorry for the trouble and I'll be grateful for any penny. If you have any questions or want any proof or documents - ask away. I'll be glad to answer.

(Did you notice number 4 is missing? 🤭 :P)

I’m 21 years old, next year I’ll graduate from software engineering, I have already done one 4 months long internship. I don’t have any motivation to work hard or to put effort into my career, I know that I don’t want to get married or end up as a house wife because that is not me, but it’s just hard to be motivated, all my friends are working and trying their hardest to get more internships and to work harder but I couldn’t care less. I don’t feel like me trying does anything, for my career, which most of my jobs are CS, the jobs market has been so bad, I’ve been rejected from jobs where I have the full experience needed, it’s always the same companies posting for positions and they always reject me, under one internship post there would be 1000+ applicants and that post would be posted like 24hrs ago, I genuinely don’t know how to pick up my slacks and care because I need to care in order to succeed in my field but things aren’t looking up at all.

Seeing so many discouraged people here I had to write this .
Companies often just test the markets to see how well the response is, what kind if candidates they can get and how much it would cost them.
This is basic market research and if you get "rejected" it's because you were never meant to get the job in the first place.
They want to see how desperate people are and what lengths they will go to for a job. Additionally this shady practice makes them seem like they're growing as a business even when they're struggling.
And this happens A LOT more than you think. If you feel like you aced the interview and are not told why they rejected you, thats 100% the reason.
A good company will give you timely and honest feedback as to why you weren't a good fit at this point in time.

DISCLAIMER: Sorry this is a day late. I ended up having to rewrite half of this. Still, I hope you enjoy. After this, I'll be going on my hiatus. So I hope you like this last little bit of Roo-family cuteness. Thank you all and keep on keepin' on!
​
Special thanks to u/SpacePaladin15 for creating the NoP universe.
​
I'd also like to thank u/xskipy10 for their awesome fanart of the main cast as well as their recent Tohba meme and their fanart of Michael baysitting. You're work is a treasure!
​
Thank you as well to u/Accomplished-Golf-59 for his take on Michael, Teylim, and Tohba in his submission for the Banner Art Contest, and u/Spacer_Catgirl4969 for their awesome music video featuring a pixel-art Dohkar in his bar. Be sure to give ALL of these awesome creators your love and support.
​
And let's not forget u/Guywhoexists2812 who has been an awesome source of memes as well as sick pixel art, such as THIS and THIS!!!! And even THIS!!!!!! And how could I forget THIS!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
​
Today, we see all the reasons Teylim has to keep going in the face of adversity. For when all is said and done, love truly does conquer all. LETTUCE...begin...

​
[Playing Recording!]
​
[The camera opens up on a female Yotul with a satchel over her shoulder. She is walking backwards down a paved walkway while looking up at the person holding the camera…]
​
“Alright! Soooo…here we are in… Michael tell us where we are!”
​
[The person holding the camera gives an audible sigh…]
​
“Do I have to, Tey?”
​
“Yes! Come on, it’ll be fun!”
​
[Another audible sigh is heard before the person begins panning the camera around the surrounding cityscape…]
​
“We are in the beautiful, literally ALWAYS sunny capital of Dayside City!”
​
“And what would you say we’re doing here in Dayside City?”
​
“We were just at the Public Records building getting our paperwork verified.”
​
[The Yotul woman is seen reaching into her satchel and pulling out a leaflet of documents…]
​
“Oh! You mean THIS paperwork? Hmmm… I wonder what these might say… Mind helping me here?”
​
“Seriously?”
​
[The Yotul doesn’t answer, instead shoving the documents directly into the camera. Another, more amused-sounding sigh is heard…]
​
“It says that your name has been officially changed to ‘Teylim Andrews.’”
​
“Mmmmhmmm. And what about this one?”
​
“That one says that Tohba’s name has been officially changed to ‘Tohba Andrews.’”
​
“Aaaand why do you suppose that is?”
​
[A shuffling sound is heard and the camera shifts as the person holding it pulls out their own papers…]
​
“Probably because according to MY paperwork, while we’re still waiting for my Application of Citizenship to go through, I, Michael Ruiz Andrews, am now the full, legal, son of one, Teylim Andrews-”
​
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!!!!!!”
​
[The Yotul woman darts forward, wrapping the person holding the camera in a hug. The camera is set on the ground and the face of the person is now visible. The two hold their embrace, rocking back and forth…]
​
“I love you so much, my joey…”
​
“Love you too, Ma…”
​

​
[The camera opens on a small kitchen area where two beings are sat eating. On the left, a male Yotul infant in a high chair is munching away at a human food identified as “Cheerios” spread across his tray. On the right, a male human idly stirs at a bowl of cereal while tapping away at a datapad…]
​
[Eventually, after munching down another “Cheerio”, the infant catches a glimpse at the human and stares for approximately one second before his tail begins wagging…]
​
“Mikey?”
​
[The humans attention is broken away from their datapad and immediately focuses on the infant…]
​
“Yeah, Bud?”
​
“I WUV YOOOUUU.”
​
[The infant’s sing-song voice seems to make the human smile before he leans forward, planting a “kiss” on top of the infant’s head…]
​
“MmmMUAH! Te amo, mi hermanito.”
​
“Whaz dat mean?”
​
“It means, ‘I love you, Little Brother’. Want me to teach you?”
​
“Hmmmmm… OKAY!”
​
“Okay.”
​
[The human chuckles slightly before scooting his chair in…]
​
“Okay, so when you want to tell someone you love them, you say, ‘Te amo.’ Okay?”
​
[The infant gives a curious ear flick…]
​
“Teeeh…Mo?”
​
“Close! Here. Repeat after me. Te…”
​
“Teeh…”
​
“Ah…”
​
“Aaahh…”
​
“Mo…”
​
“Moh!”
​
“Te…ah…mo…”
​
“Teeh…aaahh…mo!”
​
“Okay! All together now. Te amo.”
​
“¡TE AMO!”
​
[The human excitedly gets up from his seat and embraces the infant…]
​
“YES!!! You did it! Awesome job, Bud!”
​
“YAAAAYYY!!!! ¡TE AMO, MIKEY!”
​
“MMMUAH!! ¡Te amo, precioso hermanito!”
​
[The camera jitters slightly and a muffled giggling is heard. The human turns to face the camera…]
​
“Ma? What are you- Have you been recording this whole time?”
​
“Just a little!”
​
“Must you record everything?”
​
“As a matter of fact, yes!”
​
“MAMA!!”
​
[The camera zooms in on the excited infant…]
​
“Hello, Precious! Is your big brother teaching you Spanish?”
​
“UH-HUH!! ¡TE AMO, MAMA!”
​
“Ooooh, that is just ADORABLE! Can you teach him to say ‘Mama’ in Spanish, too?”
​
[The camera pans over to the human, who raises an eyebrow. After a moment, the human smirks and gives an exaggerated shrug while shaking his head…]
​
“No tengo que hacerlo. Él ya lo sabe, mamá.”
​
“Pffft! Smart aleck.”
​

​
[Play Next Recording?: Y/N…]
​
[Playing Recording!]
​
[The camera opens up facing a pair of beds in a small room. On one bed, a female Yotul is sat with her infant in her lap as a male human walks into frame carrying a brightly wrapped gift box…]
​
“Merry Late Christmas, guys!”
​
“Merry Christmas, Michael!”
​
“Mewwy Kwizmuz, Mikey!”
​
[The human kneels down and hands the infant the gift box…]
​
“Sorry this gift is a bit last minute, but I managed to grab it while I was out with ‘Nel the other day.”
​
“I’m sure it’ll be perfect, Michael.”
​
“I hope so. Go on, Bud. Open it! It’s for you!”
​
“OKAY!!!”
​
[The infant rips away at the brightly-colored paper, and with help from his mother, lifts off the lid. The infant then excitedly starts bouncing up and down and reaches into the box, pulling out a bright-red plush…]
​
“WED TIWFISH!!!!!!”
​
“Oh, Michael! How? When?”
​
“I had to ask around online if anyone else had plushies from the aquarium ship, and I managed to find a guy here in Dayside. There’s…still a lot of things we lost at the house that need to be replaced, but I figured this would be a good start…”
​
“It’s perfect.”
​
[The three embrace and hold it for several seconds before pulling back…]
​
“BUT! I’m not done with gifts just yet.”
​
“What?”
​
“Here. Mind handing me your pad?”
​
“Sure?”
​
[The Yotul hands the human her datapad as he pulls a small drive from his pocket and plugs it in. After a moment, he smiles and sits down on the bed next to the Yotul. She is then seen gasping and covering her mouth with her paws…]
​
“Michael…”
​
“I overheard you on the phone with Aunty Triv, talking about how you wish you had some pictures of me when I was younger…”
​
“How on Liern-”
​
“It’s…a long story. When I was first taken into foster care after getting rescued, I was assigned a social worker to help me adjust. And after I got situated with Dad, he stayed and helped us out from time to time. He basically became like an uncle to me after a while. And since Dad didn’t really have any other family, whenever he wanted to share pictures of me growing up, he’d send a copy to my social worker. I’ve…been back in contact with him for a little while now, and it turns out he kept them.”
​
“Oh, Michael…”
​
[The Yotul and human lean against each other and embrace…]
​
“I love you, Ma.”
​
“I love you too, my joey.
​
[Still leaning against each other, they begin to swipe at the pad, presumably looking through pictures. After a few swipes, The Yotul begins chuckling hysterically…]
​
“Aaaawwweee…”
​
“Crap, I forgot about that one!”
​
“Who’z dat?”
​
“That’s…me, Bud.”
​
[The infant looks at the image for a while, still holding the bright red plush…]
​
“Teeheehee!! Fuzzy Mikey!”
​
“Can we please just swipe to the next one?”
​
“Wait. I’ve seen those kinds of human garments before! Aren’t those for…LITTLE…little joeys?”
​
“Look, I was a very emotionally stunted kid and I just thought they were comfy, alright?”
​
“This is SO going on the desk.”
​
“Please no. Any of them but that one.”
​
“Nope! It’s already decided!”
​
“YAAYYY! FUZZY MIKEY!”
​
“God, ‘Nel’s never gonna let me live this down…”

​
[Warning: REM Sleep Detected: Transcript May Be Fragmented Or Incomplete…]
​
Crrreeeeaak…
​
My eyes slowly squint open as the noise rouses me from sleep. I let out a yawn before looking for the source of the noise. I’m…back in my house… Sitting upright, I see that my door’s been opened, beaming The Dayside’s permanent daylight into my room. I was confused for a moment. The only other person here that would be here is-
​
“Uuuuhhmm… M-Mrs. Teylim?”
​
I looked down, and spotted the culprit.
​
Standing in the doorway was a small human child, cradling my Tohba in his arms. He was silhouetted from the daylight behind him, the light beaming past his adorable onesie pajamas creating a small blue outline around him, matching his eyes.
​
Strange. For some reason, I thought he was taller…
​
“Michael, sweetie? What’s the matter?”
​
Still carrying Tohba, Michael made his way over to the bed.
​
“Uuuhhhmmm… Tohba h-had a n-nightmare…”
​
“Ooohh, is that so?”
​
Something definitely didn’t add up. As he gently handed Tohba over to me, he certainly didn’t seem to be having a nightmare. In fact, even now he was still sleeping peacefully.
​
Michael, on the other paw, was DEFINITELY out of sorts. He was nervous, fidgeting, wrapped up in a self-hug, and even now, refused to even look at me. Whether that was because of his nervousness or if he was still convinced I was afraid of him had yet to be seen.
​
Stupid, ridiculous, Federation dogma…
​
I could tell he wasn’t being honest with me. Ordinarily, I would’ve been upset about him lying, and even more so about him disturbing Tohba, but looking at him now, I knew what he needed now wasn’t a scolding.
​
“Michael, you know you can be honest with me. Was it really Tohba who had the nightmare?”
​
I heard him nervously gulp as he tightened the self-hug around himself. After a moment, he shook his head.
​
“Mm’mm…”
​
I gave a tired, but loving sigh before holding out my free arm.
​
“Come here.”
​
With some hesitation, he stepped closer, allowing me to pull him into a hug. Michael had a lot of issues. From what I learned from his social worker, he’d been terribly abused by his previous mother and he’d lost his father only a few years after moving in with him. And now, with Earth under attack, he simply didn’t have anywhere else to go.
​
It will take a long time before he’s fully comfortable living here, I know that. I’m still not even entirely sure if I’m what he needs. I still wonder if I know what I’m doing when it comes to just raising Tohba. Even so, I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t try. He deserves a home, and a mother who loves him. All children do.
​
“I'm sorry for lying…”
​
“Ssshhh… It’s alright. Do you want to talk about it?”
​
“It was…the one with the scary fire people…”
​
Oh…THAT dream…
​
Exterminators.
​
“I don’t want them to come… I don’t want them to-“
​
“It’s okay, joey. They won’t get you here.”
​
“No! That’s not… That’s not what I’m scared of…”
​
I pulled back slightly, allowing myself to look directly at him. He sniffles and sobbed while trying to wipe away tears.
​
“You’re all so nice to me… \sniff** I…I-I don’t want the fire people to hurt you… I sh-shouldn’t be here…”
​
My heart broke in two. This poor child had already lost so much. It only made sense that he’d be afraid of losing us too.
​
I cupped his face in my paw, wiping away his tears.
​
“Michael Ruiz Andrews, I don’t care what you might have heard, but you have every RIGHT to be here. And if those scary people out there think they can come and take us away from you, they’re wrong. I will never let us be separated. You hear me?”
​
“. . .P-promise?”
​
“With all my heart. You’re MY joey now, and I won’t let anyone take you away from me.”
​
At last, Michael finally unwrapped himself from his self-hug and instead wrapped his arms around me, burying his face in my fur.
​
After a while of holding him, he’d finally calmed down enough to speak again.
​
“C-can I…sleep here tonight?”
​
Your joey needs you.
​
Yes.
​
“Of course.”
​
With some effort, he climbed up onto the bed and curled up next to me. I knew I most likely wouldn’t be getting anymore sleep, but that was fine. Just laying here, holding my boys in my arms. That was enough.
​
One after the other, I gave both my joeys a lick on the forehead.
​
“Goodnight my joeys. I love you.”
​
“Wuv…you…Ma…ma…”
​
“. . .Love you too...Mom…”
​
I love my boys. I love my family. I love…my life…

[Warning: Subject Regaining Consciousness…]
​
My entire body protested as I twisted and turned over to tap the alarm on my nightstand. My claw slapped blindly at it until finally, the agitating alarm was silenced. My eyes squinted open, revealing…I was back in our motel room…
​
Well…a girl can dream, can’t she?
​
It was a pleasant dream, I’ll give it that. As I sat up, I let my legs dangle off the side of the bed as I stretched myself out and let out a yawn. Once my eyes had fully opened, and the fog had been blinked away, I was immediately met with a sight that warmed my heart to no end. My still fast asleep, and back to being tall, new son, curled up with his baby brother on the other bed.
​
Precious boys. MY precious boys.
​
I did my best to remember if Michael had anything scheduled with Khornel for this paw, but nothing came to mind. He’d been working so hard lately, helping to keep us above water. Now that he wasn’t a refugee anymore, we were no longer receiving stipends from the program, which meant from here on out, keeping the bills paid was much more difficult. And that’s not even mentioning having to put aside anything we can to be able to eventually have the house rebuilt.
​
I kept trying for a while, I still couldn’t remember anything. For the first time in a decent while, he had a paw off.
​
Good. I’ll leave him be then. He’s earned some rest.
​
I let out one more yawn, before getting up. Unfortunately, while Michael didn’t have to work this paw, I wasn’t so fortunate. Thankfully, my recent injuries allowed me to continue to work from home instead of going out to the physical office. After one last stretch, I let myself slide off the bed.
​
I had to give myself a moment once I was upright. While my previously broken leg had healed for the most part, I still needed to be careful of how much weight I put on it. Once I was ready, I began walking to our small kitchen area. The fridge was nearly empty. I’d need to go to the store soon.
​
Thank goodness we’re staying in Soulroot, where literally EVERYTHING is expensive…
​
After cutting up some leftover fruit and strayu for myself, I went back to my desk. It was impossible to not notice the small stack of colorful books on the ground next to it. They were human kid’s books donated from the embassy here in Soulroot. Tohba would be ready to start going to school in just a few short cycles…
​
Will we be able to get out of here and back into our house before then?
​
Sitting down at my desk and booting up my pad, I found it hard to stay focused. There was still so much to do, so much to worry about. Before, when I was feeling overwhelmed, I’d have Loh, Dohkar, or Trivah there for me. With them around, it always helped things feel more manageable. But now…now I was alone again. Loh was gone. Dohkar and Trivah were stuck on the other side of that damned fence…
​
What are we going to do?
​
My head lowered. I stared blankly at the desk, partly wishing I could look through it at ANYTHING other than my work.
​
But then, there was a glint, just out of the corner of my eye…
​
I looked up, and saw something that I couldn’t help but smile at, something that even when I’m feeling low, reminds me why I have to keep going.
​
I reach out…and grab the two small frames off the corner of my desk and hold them in front of me. In my left paw, wass a framed picture of Tohba, the paw he was born. So small. So precious. So perfect. And in my right, was another picture. It was my new favorite picture.
​
A small, human child…in fuzzy, blue, onesie pajamas that matched his eyes.
​
My Michael. Still so small.
​
These two pictures. My boys. The villains outside could take everything else. So long as I have my boys, I will always have a reason to keep going.
​
I love my boys… I love my family… I love my life…

The End

The Stock from the Company Europlasma SA (ALEUP); WKN: A3DZUU, ISIN: FR001400CF13, is planned to get raided in on 5 pm MESZ.
Europlasma is a French group, whose know-how for more than 30 years has been based on its proprietary technology, the plasma torch, to obtain very high temperatures. Europlasma's job consists in developing, building, and exploiting the many applications of the plasma torch, at the service of man and his environment.
Heritage of French industry, Les Forges de Tarbes factory is located on the historic Arsenal site in Tarbes (65). It supplies hollow shapes intended for major land and naval defense manufacturers. The company has unique know-how and is the only forge capable of producing large hollow shapes in France.
The activities of Forges de Tarbes, the only French industrial site still capable of producing 155mm shell barrels, had long been threatened and were revived by the Ukrainian Armed Forces' enormous need for this type of ammunition.

I was diagnosed with autism when I was 31 in 2021. Throughout my life, since I was a teen, I have always struggled to keep a job, whether it was because the workplace closed down or because it was only a college job and it was temporary, but most of the time, it was due to burnout and stress. Two years I left a job that was so overwhelming and overstimulating that it led to a meltdown. It took me almost a year to find another job. I have a part-time job now where I work from home and occasionally take on photo or video gigs as part of the job. But the gigs don’t happen often, so my income is very limited and not very much. I only make $180 a week. I like this job most days because I get to work from home and also because it’s repetitive. But I wish the pay was better.
So this year, because of my issues with work and always struggling financially, I decided to apply for SSI and also to help my parents with the rent because the expenses increased a lot. I really thought I would get the SSI, but I just received a rejection letter stating I don’t qualify for SSI because I’m not considered severely disabled and also because I’m able to work. I try not to put limitations on myself, but there are days when I struggle with my work tasks. I get overwhelmed when I have too many tasks I need to do and because I only work 4 hours a day for 3 days a week. I get overwhelmed because when I have a lot to do, I stress over what I should work on first. Then, my boss will let me know what I should prioritize first, but then I will get far behind with the other tasks I have to do. Basically, my work involves creating and scheduling social media posts for companies. And other times it’s editing videos or photos for content creators. So my boss finds the clients and I work for them. But sometimes it gets too much because the clients will contact me that they need something done, but my boss wants me to focus on one thing, and I end up forgetting about what the client wanted. Sorry if I’m not getting to the point of this post. So basically, work can be stressful sometimes. I also have Hashimoto’s and anemia, and my anxiety and racing thoughts often lead me to have trouble sleeping. So there are days when I’m trying to work, but I can’t concentrate, whether because I’m too tired or distracted. Or because I’m so burnt out or stressed that I can’t seem to work on my tasks. So, it causes me to be far behind in my work. When these things happen, I tend to work on the tasks on my days off just to catch up.
Sometimes, I wonder if I’m just being lazy or making excuses for my struggles with work or for wanting SSI. Because I can cook for myself and walk and talk. I just struggle with some things. Which makes me hesitant to reapply again to SSI. When I did the interview they said I would only be getting $400 because of how much I make for work. It’s not a lot, but I guess it would be enough for me to help my parents pay rent. I just feel like I could be doing more. But I don’t know if I am limiting myself or just being lazy. I just wish being an adult wasn’t so overwhelming and hard. I wish things weren’t so complicated or even expensive. I don't know what to do with my life anymore. Sorry for this post being so long and not straight to the point. I hope it made some sense.

Sending Compressed Excel Files: A Primer

Sharing Excel workbooks via email is a common practice in both professional and academic settings, enabling seamless collaboration and data exchange. However, large Excel files can pose significant challenges, including slow transfer speeds, email server restrictions, and data consumption issues. The solution lies in compressing the workbook, which not only reduces the file size but also ensures faster transmission and adherence to email size limits. This approach is particularly beneficial when dealing with extensive datasets, complex formulas, and embedded media that inflate the workbook's size.
Compressing an Excel workbook before emailing it also adds a layer of security and data integrity, as the zipped file is less susceptible to corruption during transit. Furthermore, this method supports batch sending of multiple files, allowing for a more organized and efficient way to distribute related documents. By understanding the steps to effectively zip and email an Excel file, users can improve their workflow, ensuring that recipients receive and can access important data without unnecessary delay or complications.

Command/Software	Description
Excel	Microsoft Excel is used to create spreadsheets that can be compressed into a zip file.
Compression Software	Software like 7-Zip or WinRAR is used to compress the Excel workbook into a smaller, zipped file format.
Email Client	An email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Gmail) is used to attach and send the zipped file.
VBA (Visual Basic for Applications)	A programming language used within Excel to automate tasks, including zipping and emailing workbooks.

Enhancing Email Efficiency with Excel Compression

Emailing Excel workbooks is a staple in the realm of digital communication, especially for professionals who rely on the sharing of spreadsheets for collaborative projects, data analysis, and reporting. The act of sending these files in their raw form, however, can be fraught with challenges, primarily due to the size restrictions imposed by many email services. Large files can lead to delivery failures, extended upload times, and can even clog the recipient's inbox, hindering productivity and efficiency. This underscores the necessity of compressing Excel workbooks before they are emailed, a practice that reduces file size without compromising the integrity of the data contained within.
Compressing an Excel file serves multiple benefits beyond just ease of email transmission. It facilitates quicker download times for the recipient, conserves bandwidth, and can even provide a layer of added security against unauthorized access during transmission. When Excel files are zipped, they also allow for the inclusion of additional files in the same archive, making it convenient to send related documents together. This method of preparation and sending of Excel workbooks not only streamlines the process but also ensures that the information arrives intact and is readily accessible by the intended parties, thereby optimizing the workflow and collaboration efforts.

Automating Emailing of Zipped Excel Workbooks Using VBA

VBA in Excel

 Dim ZipFile As String, WorkbookFile As String, MailSubject As String WorkbookFile = ActiveWorkbook.FullName ZipFile = WorkbookFile & ".zip" Call ZipWorkbook(ZipFile, WorkbookFile) MailSubject = "Compressed Excel Workbook" Call EmailWorkbook(ZipFile, MailSubject)   ' Code to compress WorkbookFile into ZipFile   ' Code to email ZipFile with subject MailSubject  

Optimizing Workflow with Excel File Compression and Emailing

Excel's robust platform offers extensive capabilities for data analysis, project management, and financial reporting. However, the convenience of sharing Excel workbooks through email often encounters the obstacle of file size limitations. Compressing Excel files before emailing is a pivotal strategy to mitigate this issue, ensuring that large datasets, complex charts, and extensive calculations are transferred efficiently and effectively. This technique not only aids in overcoming email server restrictions but also facilitates a smoother collaboration process by enabling the quick exchange of information without the need for third-party file-sharing services.
The practice of compressing Excel workbooks before emailing also enhances data security. By zipping the workbook, one can add password protection to the compressed file, offering an additional layer of security during transit. Moreover, this method simplifies the process of sending multiple files by consolidating them into a single, manageable package. This not only saves time but also organizes the data in a way that is easily accessible to the recipient, thereby enhancing the overall communication and project management efficiency within teams.

Hi there, Im a 26 years old man, i’ve been watching your videos a while now but never posted something. Please excuse my poor writing skills, i’m not from an english speaking country.
Today i want to share my life experience and some of the issues i’m dealing with right now and a touchy subject that i don’t see people talk about frequently.
About a year and 3 months ago, i had a virus and it caused an infection in my nasal and inner ear that won’t go away, symptoms include severe headaches, brain fog, tinnitus, heart palpitations and a lot more. I spend almost a year going to doctors and they said i had nothing wrong with me until about 3 months ago, family thought i was going crazy.
At the same time this started i quit weed and porn and sometimes i taught i was loosing it but deep down knew something was wrong, the medication did not solve the problem and i was treated bad by doctors ( im from a third world country ), lately some of the symptoms are getting better but some are still lingering.
This has impacted my business and it was just picking up, lost 3 years of hard work, found myself without a job, purposeless, without money, trying to figure out what’s going on with my health and dealing with all the doubts, fears and insecurities that have come up during this time of agony.
Now im not one to tell you i was perfect before this, on the contrary, i was anxious and had problems like most people and taught i had it rough but this, was hell, this challenged my capacity to cope, i wanted to die, i wanted it to end, i couldn’t handle it, i wanted to live so bad but not like that. It made me realize a lot of things that i’m grateful for, a lot of things that i took for granted and a lot of harsh realities. Luckily i have a brother and we’re so close so i used to dump all my shit on the poor dude haha and only him knew what was really going on. I am a very straightforward person and i talk about my insecurities and stuff normally with my friends and brother but i was just ranting on the same song and they couldn’t do anything to help at the time.
For the first time in my life i felt alone even though i’m surrounded by people, i felt fear, not from dying but from going crazy, i felt severe depression but luckily i did not isolate, i still was going out everyday because i feared staying alone. All my thoughts were about this is the end, you are young and your life is over, how are you going to marry someone and you’re incapable, how are you going to live if the symptoms continued etc …
My life flashed before me and all my insecurities came to light, one of them being the opposite gender, the time i needed love, connection, reassurance. Before this i was alone for years and i did not affect me that bad because i was working on my future and postponed all intimate relationships to ( once i’m ready ).
This led me to regret, time lost, things i did not do not the things i did, the moments i did not appreciate, the times i spent alone not with loved ones, times i was lazy, times i was upset for no reason and of course lack of trying to be in an intimate relationship because i learned that a man need his woman when he’s in his weakest moments.
Now i have 3 thing that are bothering me that i can’t find solutions for

• i can’t find the power to get back to momentum and start working again
  
• i need to be with a woman but it’s unhealthy because i’m at my weakest and it’s coming from lack and kind of selfish, and if i did i don’t want to project this kind of thinking that im stuck in right now, so how can i do it without seeming thirsty because low key i am? how can i be patient with myself while i’m feeling the opposite
  
• how can i accept what happened and get out of this cycle of victimization, self blame and move one with my life ? How can i stop emotions of self hate, anger and deception ?
  

Ps: please don’t tell me to seek professional help as my situation does not allow .

The Stock from the Company Europlasma SA (ALEUP); WKN: A3DZUU, ISIN: FR001400CF13, is planned to get raided in on 5 pm MESZ.
Europlasma is a French group, whose know-how for more than 30 years has been based on its proprietary technology, the plasma torch, to obtain very high temperatures. Europlasma's job consists in developing, building, and exploiting the many applications of the plasma torch, at the service of man and his environment.
Heritage of French industry, Les Forges de Tarbes factory is located on the historic Arsenal site in Tarbes (65). It supplies hollow shapes intended for major land and naval defense manufacturers. The company has unique know-how and is the only forge capable of producing large hollow shapes in France.
The activities of Forges de Tarbes, the only French industrial site still capable of producing 155mm shell barrels, had long been threatened and were revived by the Ukrainian Armed Forces' enormous need for this type of ammunition.

Selecting the ideal Canada PNP from India for you might be likened to selecting the correct lock key. The “right fit” will rely on your circumstances, your qualifications, and your ability to meet the demands of the regional labor market. Except for Nunavut and Quebec, every region in Canada has its own PNP-specific streams. These immigration routes are designed for a certain type of immigrant, such as skilled, unskilled, entrepreneurs, or international students, and are customized to match the unique requirements of each province.
There are now about 80 distinct streams throughout the provinces and territories taking part in the Canada PNP, excluding the federal and Quebec streams.
A province’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score will be increased by 600 points for nominations made through the right Canada PNP from India, or one connected to Canada’s Express Entry program. It is almost a given that you will receive an invitation from the Canadian government to submit an application for permanent residency in Canada if you obtain these extra points.
Alberta’s Express Entry Stream
Alberta a western province is home to some of the wealthiest cities in the nation, such as Calgary and Edmonton. Alberta is one of the easiest PNP for Canada. To be considered for a provincial nomination, candidates are selected for the Alberta Express Entry stream from the federal Express Entry pool. One major benefit of this stream is that more candidates may be in the pool to get a Notification of Interest from the province because Express Entry candidates with CRS scores as low as 300 are taken into consideration.
Recall that invitations from Alberta’s Express Entry stream are granted to applicants with a CRS score of more than 300. Alberta’s Express Entry stream is administered through the federal Express Entry system. A province nomination will therefore increase a candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) by 600, almost guaranteeing them an invitation to apply (ITA) in the next Express Entry draw for permanent residence (PR). Because of its low CRS requirement, Alberta is commonly considered one of the easiest Canada PNP from India to obtain permanent residence (PR).
Ontario’s Human Capital Priority Stream
For those without a job offer, one of the more well-liked pathways is the Human Capital Priorities stream of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). 2023 – 24 saw the stream actively invite immigration prospects into three categories associated to Express Entry. You must have work experience and an active Express Entry profile in order to be asked to apply to this stream, even though a job offer is not necessary. Healthcare and Tech workers must consider Ontario PNP their first priority as it is the easiest PNP for Canada.
Saskatchewan’s Express Entry and Occupation in-Demand
For foreign applicants without a work offer, there is also the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). Two highly active streams in Saskatchewan’s International Skilled Worker Category don’t require employment offers. First, there is the Saskatchewan Express Entry-linked stream. To apply, one must, however, have an active profile in the federal Express Entry system.
The second, which is exempt from this requirement, is the Saskatchewan Occupation In-Demand stream. It provides skilled labourers who can meet Saskatchewan’s labour shortage. An applicant must have worked in one of the positions on Saskatchewan’s In-Demand Occupations List for at least a year in order to be eligible.
Nova Scotia’s Express Entry
Finally, one of Canada’s largest and most inventive provincial nominee schemes is the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP). Candidates for Express Entry are chosen by the NSNP using four streams. Through a scan of the Express Entry pool, the NSNP finds applicants who have prior job experience in particular fields. Job offers are required for the Nova Scotia Demand, Nova Scotia Experience.

For context, I normally only draw male anime characters (meaning my skills in drawing female characters are limited), and my username said that I'm accepting commissions. I also specified in a pinned post that I only take male character commissions. I have been taking drawing classes for 7 years now.
One day, I had drawn a female anime character as a gift for my friend. I then proceeded to post it online, tagging the female character's name. I had captioned the post with: "This is a gift for my friend, I have limited drawing skills, so please don't yell at me."
I had received a comment to my post a few hours later, saying something along the lines of: "Why the f*ck are you coming out to accept commissions if your drawings look like that?" [it was quite offensive, I had to tone it down]
I had asked my friends if my artwork had any problems, and two said the female character I had drawn was too masculine, one had said pretty much what the comment said.
I ended up deleting the post.
[I personally thought the drawing was fun to do, but every time I think of the anime character or see her, I am filled with an urge to get away from her. I had to delete most of my social media applications due to this, and I barely go online now.]
AITA for posting my artwork and accepting commissions online when my art skills aren't up to the task?

I've wanted to go all in to code a WP plugin from scratch with the goal of listing on their WordPress plugin marketplace. But I had no idea what to build.
The goal was to see if I could also make money, to pay off some debt and go from there.
I'm not a fan of tutoritals either, "Hello World" pisses me off.
I've done a bit of freelance work outside my 9-5 coding job. Mainly building WordPress plugins. And they've all been very tailored to what the customer wants.
I'm trying to get myself out there on social media. As well as start a tech/starup based newsletter. That's hard to getting going as well. Then it hit me. Could I create a WP plugin for my blog that helps grow my newsletter subscribers.
I'd seen this cool popup that wasn't intrusive and said "Press B to Buy now". Could I steal it on do "Press S To Subscribe" to see if I can get newsletter sign-ups.
Also, I wanted an excuse to sign-up to Github Coplit too. Using the 30 day trial to see if I could build the plugin without forking out any dosh.
It took me about 14 days part time in the evening using VS Code and Github Copilot to get it built and hosted, finally install on my WP blog too. Result.
Got a subscriber in the first week too without doing any extra work. Well happy.
Anyway, I've recorded a few walkthrough on my YT channel if you want to see how I did it
But the main reason I'm posting is to get honest feedback on the plugin and the website. I've called this little business idea SuperSub. You can check it out here https://supersub.site

(As far as scheduling goes, I mostly work nights, so that means I’m good midday relative to North American times and evenings relative to Europe. In addition, Mondays, Wednesdays, and evenings Friday are entirely free for me!)
This might be a really good fit for your campaign if many (not necessarily all) of the following are true:

• You like roleplay that can take itself seriously and a little drama with your storytelling!
  
• Your writing occasionally and tactfully touches on darker and more mature themes! (Though isn't necessarily grimdark.)
  
• Stories about mortals in your world are important relative to stories about mythology and gods!
  
• Your table encourages longer character arcs/relationship building with plenty of room for development!
  
• The campaign has a defined job to do, an established goal or ideal to work towards; something either set by the party or as a part of a larger faction!
  

So, this comes from a story I imagine many roleplayers are familiar with: put my heart into fleshing out a character, their themes and personality… and, campaign dies in its infancy. But while I hardly had a chance to play her, this concept is something I’d really want a chance to run! To be very clear, the specifics of her character are something I want to tie into your setting and story - the basic themes of the concept remain, but I want to immerse myself and be a real part of your world! As for what I have in mind, feel free to give this a read: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s07dPj3m42bqCFecXI0qW8JvjmMQKPhIb_wck_MEFSI/edit
I’m something of a forever DM with years of experience, and I always try to be the player for your group that I would love in mine. I am a queer individual, and I find it very important generally that everybody at the table is comfortable and on the same page. I adore unique homebrew lore and the passion put into unique settings; I’ll read everything you give me, both to immerse myself in your world and steal it for my own! My writing usually puts a special focus on the “human” elements of a story; the people, their lives, cultures, relationships, and motivations. My biggest payoff from the game is definitely the storytelling aspect. I absolutely love a well-roleplayed plot arc or a dramatic confrontation!
I think this has gone on plenty long enough, so thank you for your interest if you’ve made it this far! If you have any questions or ideas, or just feel like randomly interrogating me, let me know and we can chat here or move to Discord.

Hey everyone I’m planning to apply to this cycle or next cycle.
I have been working at a great corporate job while preparing for the upcoming cycle.
I pretty much have 2,000+ hours of clinical experience, but the doctor I was shadowing which turned into unpaid internship last month offered me a full time paid position to join his clinic. He also mentioned I would get publishing opportunities as well (something I don’t have). He said he won’t be able to match my current pay, but believes this experience will greatly enhance my application. He also promised me he would try his best to do whatever it takes to help me get into medical school.
Should I take his offer or stay at my corporate job?

Hey guys, my S/O has probably 90% of a degree in early education and has recently expressed some interest in geology (they’ve been out of school a few years teaching without the complete degree) and I had a few questions
What does the average day look like working as a geologist? Her perception of it is a lot of outdoor work and writing reports (both of which excite her)
How much travel/away time is there? Could one easily maintain a stable home life?
What are the most common “types” of job a geologist has? (I’ve seen mines, I’m assuming you could teach geology, maybe work with environmental groups, that kind of thing?)
Do you feel there’s good career growth opportunities?
Was it difficult to find a job after getting your degree?
For geologists on the back half of their career, how does your daily workload feel as you age?
And finally, what, if anything, would you recommend to “supplement” a geology degree? (Learning a programming language, minor in something, activities, certs, etc)
Thank you guys!
