  • Trying my best to find a new job asap so that I can actually take 1 or 2 weeks of summer vacation instead of just stressing over applications.

    Also my cat is getting surgery today to have his upper front teeth removed because they were infecting (and already had been before). The vet said it's best to just remove them altogether because he won't really miss them anyway and can eat fine without. Worried about my little guy but I'm sure he'll be okay ❤️
    he should be ok to be picked up in about 4 hours yay :)

    Also, great opportunity to air out the apartment hehe

    Edit:
    Cat is okay yay! He's completely zonked out on painkillers lol

  • Yeah OP please use a razor? Razors are made for shaving, trimmers are for trimming.

    Actual tips for shaving I can give you:

    • Stretch the skin a little with your free hand to make sure you have a smooth surface (helps you not cut into the skin) (unless you have perfectly smooth non wrinkled balls)
    • As with any body hair I'd recommend trimming before shaving so the hairs are shorter and easier to shave
    • In the same vein, frequent shaving helps keep the hairs short and makes shaving easier
    • As someone else said it might be nice to use conditioner instead of shaving cream. Personally I never use shaving cream anyway because it doesn't help me at all lol. It anything make sure your skin is hydrated, it'll make shaving a lot smoother
  • Not great! What was supposed to be a regular biweekly update with my team lead turned into me hearing I'm being let go. The company is dissolving my position. Apparently because they believe everything I did to set up data pipelines and structures is so solid they just need someone to maintain it now (which will be a third party).

    I definitely saw myself working there for a few years, now I'm back to looking for a job after just 1 year. Feels unfair and all the 'it's not personal, we love you as a colleague' is definitely not helping at all.

    At least I won't have to come out to them which I was dreading... I'll just introduce myself with new pronouns at the next job ¯(ツ)_/¯

    Back to the LinkedIn hellscape it is

    Edit: forgot to mention that the worst part of this to me is definitely this week where we're still discussing details/severance etc. and I can't tell my direct colleagues yet. So here I am pretending everything is fine and I'm not actually super depressed about it until I can finally tell them next Tuesday.
