It should be within reasonable range, like e.g. you won't wake up as a Yedi or Superman tomorrow and world hunger won't be solved just in a few days, etc

I'll start. The best thing that can happen to me this week is to successfully make plans that I am happy about for the weekend :)

I can tell you something good that is happening this week. I got a job offer so I can quit the retail job I've been doing for 11 years.

My wife is interviewing for a job today. It would be a big deal if she got it, especially since she's been out of work for six months.

A layoff/but out package that would carry me to my retirement date.

One of y'all can have this job. I've been doing it for enough decades now.

[–] emberwit@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nah thanks, I'll take the outpackage to retirement as well

[–] scubbo@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I also choose this guy's retirement package.

A reliable sleep schedule.

I've been having trouble with it for a LONG time. But last week I found that 2mg melatonin before bed makes me both fall asleep easier AND wake up in a better mood/less sleep inertia. I'm hoping it lasts.

[–] hystericallymad@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also had issues sleeping. 50mg Trazodone. No more issues sleeping. I'm out for a solid 6 hours within 30 minutes of taking.

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago

well I can't get that over the counter.

Melatonin gives me some trippy ass dreams/night terrors

the only thing I learned in therapy that helped me was getting the correct dosage of melatonin. I use to think you would take more to sleep longer and deeper - turns out no. Need to take less.

I take 1mg now instead of 10 and it works amazing.

Already gonna happen - it's Father's Day here in Australia, and my little girl will be spoiling me with all the little gifts she got from the school Father's Day stall last week. And we're going to start the Clone Wars series together.

I receive an invite for a job interview. I'm so tired of trying to make my resume better and writing cover letters.

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

I successfully negotiate a wage appropriate to the work I'm doing as a co-op turned regular employee. Currently making a little over minimum, the national average for the work is 50/hr. Would be a massive boost to my life goals.

[–] ne0phyte@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Finding a new apartment. My landlord just gave notice because they need the apartment for a family member and I need to find and move to a new place within three months.

Sucks big time cuz my current apartment is a pretty new building, quality flooring, bath, kitchen, tons of windows and very bright overall and I am paying way too little compared to similar apartments.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If my eife agreed to go to couples therapy, that's the best realistic thing. Well, I don't know how realistic it is.

It's been said that 90% of luck is preparation, and I've done about all the preparation I can do on this one.

[–] _Sc00ter@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

My wife had been after me to go to couples therapy. I was convinced we didn't need it. After a while, I just scheduled something and sent her an appointment notice. Figured if she thought we needed it, I'd give it a try.

She called the therapist and cancelled our appointment soon after i sent her the notice. She claimed, "we didn't need to spend money on that right now." She hasn't brought it up since.

No idea what that was about

My daughter hit a deer last evening in her car and our insurance adjuster is due to be here within the hour to look at the damage and decide what to do.

My hope is that they’ll repair it and get it done quickly… she’s due to start her new job in less than a week and needs her car to get there… 🀞🏻

[–] u202307011927@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Wow. All the best luck to her

Figuring out that one missing word of my passphrase that will unlock my Bitwarden Vault.

I mean, I have unlimited attempts, but I need to solve a captcha for every attempt. I know the starting letter, but idk what the exact word is.

Might take days, months, or years. Too tired to keep guessing.

Fuck my life.

I got an invitation from the towns' mayor for my wife and me to attend a gala dinner. And yes, it is real.

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Wake up rested

[–] June@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Get a decent raise so that I can do more than just make ends meet and can stop delivering for DoorDash.

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that my crush asks me out finally when I see them again on Saturday; or at least get closer to going out somewhere even just as friends.

[–] _Sc00ter@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (16 children)

Why wait for them to ask you?

That the air will clear so I can spend the holiday weekend outside my house.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Opening my email and have the work invitation I've been waiting on for nearly two months.

(before someone asks: I wasn't tricked or fooled. I did the interview, got the direct responsible for the hiring calling me and asking if I was interested, the whole deal. But I'm waiting for a formal invitation from a national agency, for which I'll be working as a private contractor; this implies a lot of beaurocracy and too many big wigs getting bothered to have a meeting to approve having things done.)

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

you won't wake up as a Yedi

What is that? Like a Yeti Jedi?

[–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Master Hairy

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a Jedi who makes some mean schnitzel

The part I ordered to fix the dishwasher could come in, so we can finally start using it again after 2 weeks.

I'm doing alright, all things considered.

I buy a lottery ticket once a month just for the fun of some cheap fantasies/dreams. A few years ago I won $2000. I wouldn't mind a repeat.

I have a flight to catch tomorrow and am currently running a fever of 103Β°F.

The best thing that could happen to me would be that I miraculously get better so I don't miss my flight.

Not gonna happen though. I'll just have to book another ticket for next week. That's the equivalent of ~100 USD (~300 USD on PPP basis) I'll never see again.

My SSDI application could be approved.

[–] cruspies@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

A decent time in Saturday's race. Not a medal of anything, just nothing too embarrassing.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Blowjob from an angel I’d say

[–] choco_polus@mujico.org 3 points 1 year ago

Possibly getting a job offer. I made it all they way to the final round, instructions mentioned a wait of at least three working days for the results.

[–] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tomorrow morning's feast for the S2 Wheel of Time drop going well.

[–] sup@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, I'm excited too!
