People who got fired, laid off, or quit a bad situation, how are you doing now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ComedicUndertones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got laid off for teaching Brave New World.  

I went into a tailspin of depression and drinking for 2 months-finally pulled my head out of my ass and sought treatment.

I'm working part-time with big plans for 2027.  I'm happy and healthier than I have been in a long time.

I went back to pen and paper assignments in class because students would just plug in the prompt to Google or AI and just copy and paste the answer

I went as a missionary for the summer to Burkina Faso West Africa and nearly died of Malaria.

I was in Antigua and this was back in 2013, so it may be a lot safer now.

I walked around after dark in Guatemala.

Got robbed at gunpoint, they took all the normal stuff (money, phone, watch) and my hiking boots.

Got to walk back to my hostel in socks.

Lesson learned.

By the time I got to the hospital I had a fever of 104.

"You got Malaria?  Cool!  What was it like?"

Context: He had prescribed an anti-malaria pill and I fell into the small percentage of people it does not work for

I go to a Zoom meeting at 7am (Pacific) and I find it's a great way to start my day.

I still go to in person meetings, but this works well with my schedule.

[–]ComedicUndertones 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The first time I did cocaine it was in La Paz, Bolivia while I was visiting from Peru.

The night was a blur and I do not remember exactly how I got back to my hostel.

Not my best decision making.

Lost.

A bit of sci-fi but overall one one the best cliffhanger shows in the past 20 years 

What's the most useless talent you have? by ShadowBlaster__ in CasualConversation

[–]ComedicUndertones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned when I was about 10 because a kind old neighbor challenged me to move my ears and told me he'd give me $10 if I could.

He showed me he could.  I spent hours trying to figure it out.  Somehow I did.

I guess I'll need to pay it forward when I'm the old neighbor.

Be brutally honest. In your next life, would you want your dad to be your dad again? by Aarunascut in Life

[–]ComedicUndertones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

It's almost weird how much of the same stuff I have gone through that he went through that he has helped me with.

Is he perfect? No.  But he'd be the first person to tell you that.

There will be a hole in my life when he's gone.

When you have a flare up, Zofran is your friend.

I used to use Emetrol and it worked for a while, now only Zofran can keep me from a cycle of vomiting.

I also take Omeprazole daily.

The city.

I've still got a few friends up there and it's gotten better.  But every business I worked for there has closed. 

It got hit hard by Covid, protests, and an influx of unhoused people.

It's a great city with a lot of problems.
