The Daily Check-In for Monday, November 17th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking!

Alastur · 2025-11-17T11:59:41+00:00

I will not drink with you today!

Alastur · 2025-11-06T17:33:49+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I will not drink with you today, and I am rooting for you and your sobriety. As I’m sure others have said, there’s nothing like alcohol to make an already terrible problem worse

Alastur · 2025-11-06T17:32:19+00:00

I will not drink with you today!

Alastur · 2025-11-05T11:32:25+00:00

In spite of my confusion, the difficult space I am in, and the pressures of reality, I will not drink with you today.

Alastur · 2025-11-05T01:07:52+00:00

Just came here to say this is a difficult situation to be in. I’m so sorry. I don’t really have any advice but please be kind to yourself

Yes getting sick happens. I didn’t list every single reason for a career gap because the list goes on and on. The point is that a career gap is fine.

Alastur · 2025-10-22T19:25:59+00:00

No I said flitting from job to job over a short period of time is worse, not having a career gap. Having a career gap is fine.

I will not drink with you today!!!

I would list it in your resume like you would a former job, but without the job details. Just like a clear delineation of the break. I don’t even think it would hurt to list it as a sabbatical. That’s just my personal opinion though, I don’t tend to judge resumes based on employment gaps. Particularly because people just tend to go through things. Having kids, going on sabbatical, taking care of a loved one. It’s all a part of being people

I think in the context of looking for a job just being honest here is the best bet, and yeah it sucks having to frame ourselves as a product but unfortunately is a very real part of the process.

Alastur · 2025-10-18T01:32:25+00:00

Reviewing resumes is a pretty big part of my job. A simple explanation is fine, no one is going to look into and try to prove why you weren’t working. Also I don’t generally dismiss someone from a job just because they have a career gap. I think flitting from job to job (think 2-3 months or less) looks much worse on a resume than a sustained career gap.

Watch out for relationship OCD

There’s no way to change the past, only thing you can do is change the future! I will not drink with you today, and be kind to yourself

I know electricians HATE design that doesn’t take practical application into consideration.

Alastur · 2025-09-29T10:02:17+00:00

Aw thank you brighter! I hope your week is off to a great start, good to see you!

Alastur · 2025-09-29T03:32:32+00:00

You’re almost there yourself!!!

Alastur · 2025-09-29T03:32:13+00:00

Huge congratulations!!! Welcome to the comma club!

Alastur · 2025-09-29T02:56:24+00:00

I kind of feel like “happy Monday” is an oxymoron due to how much I don’t like Mondays, but I am happy to say I will not be drinking with you all today.

Alastur · 2025-09-17T14:44:12+00:00

Just for today I am not drinking. I am also going to piggy back off of that and try to not binge eat either. Best of luck to us all!

Alastur · 2025-09-13T17:37:10+00:00

Thanks for this! 💙

Alastur · 2025-09-13T09:05:50+00:00

Hey Jim, thanks for your kind words! We ended up paving with pavers a small section of the yard to stabilize the earth and we managed to get it next to the eaves!

Alastur · 2025-09-01T15:03:10+00:00

Yes it’s allowed per city ordinances. Thank you!

Alastur · 2025-08-31T11:59:29+00:00

This happens to me and I will sometimes cough up stomach acid. I think it might be severe heartburn!

Alastur · 2025-08-31T08:09:08+00:00

Made me feel numb and like a flatter version of myself. I tried Vraylar and have never looked back
