Nothing too special going on in my life. I've got a lot of little early transition things that I'm working on, but other than that I'm just vibing. I do have a cute new pair of oversized glasses coming that are going to replace my geeky wire-frame transition lenses, so that's exciting.
Question because my reading comprehension is bad: would this kill same-sex marriage nationwide, or would it just allow red states to say they won't recognize it? Not to say the latter isn't bad, I'm just curious if this would fuck over my ability to even get married in, say, Washington or Oregon.
Well, I'm back. The first session went really well! It was mostly just boilerplate stuff, but I'm feeling a lot more confident now that I've actually taken the first step. Finally, some homework I can be excited about. 😅
I know that everything will probably be fine. It's just that I've seen so many people despairing over voice training. I don't want to feel despair, I want to be happy, so that always makes me worry a little bit. I'm willing to put in as much effort as it takes, so fingers crossed I do well. :)
Echoing @LoamImprovement@beehaw.org, I don't anymore. My second biggest priority for the future is getting the fuck out of this country as soon as I have enough IT experience to find work overseas.
I'm okay. I was super tired toward the end of last week, to the point where I ate PTO on Friday just so I could go home and sleep. This week is whatever. I'm starting voice training which I'm super nervous about, and other than that it's the same as always. I didn't even get an extended weekend because I don't work Mondays. 🥹
Curious question: what does the business internet plan get you over the home plan? I'm on Comcast Business right now, but I'm always looking for better options (plus we're looking at getting a 5G failover at work).
I'm doing okay. Last week was filled with a lot of little frustrations, but I got through it. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and, barring any weirdness with my labs, I'll be starting HRT! :D I'm nervous, but also very excited!
Edit: Insert that video of Linus Torvalds giving NVIDIA the middle finger, but replace NVIDIA with Regence.
Easy answer: I don't. My first and last relationship ended about 5 years ago with me getting cheated on, and since then I haven't really bothered. I'm just trying to focus on myself.
The good: my older sister and I went to see my biological dad for the first time in a decade.
The bad: my weekend is over and I'm physically and mentally exhausted.
The bittersweet: I found out from my dad that my baby sister, who I hadn't seen since she was born, was taken into foster care and then adopted by a family in Alaska. I'm super bummed because I really wanted to be a part of her life again. He says he has contact information for the family, but I'm not holding my breath.
Going okay so far. We've had a lot going on this week, so I didn't want to touch any of our critical systems for fear of adding even more shit to the plate for my coworkers. The non-critical system upgrades went smoothly. You can't upgrade from 2008 R2 straight to 2019, so I do an intermediary upgrade to 2012 first (hooray, the Windows 8 start screen!) VMware's mouse driver seems to break during the upgrade, and my RDP doesn't like connecting to 2012 servers, so I have to navigate by keyboard to the file explorer to start the upgrade from 2012 to 2019. There's probably a better way to do this, but I can't be bothered to find it.
I'm happy to announce I lasted about three weeks without antidepressants before running back for them! (I am not having a good time.)
