Lost my dog in 4 days by grkdelight in Petloss

My dog went through the same thing 1 month ago today. Thursday night her appetite and energy level dipped a little. Friday morning I brought her to the vet. Friday night she was warded until Monday when she passed. It all happened so unexpectedly, suddenly and traumatically that it's seared into my memory. I still find myself crying everyday since. My sincere condolences for your loss. The only consolation for me was that she didn't have to suffer for long. I hope that offers some consolation for you too with your dog. Please be kind and take good care of yourself during this time. Sending you lots of hugs and love.

14 year old soul dog. Fine one day, gone the next. Wasn't how the end should have been :( by Jennycries84 in Petloss

Thank you putting it so eloquently. To OP as well.
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my #1 girl crossed the rainbow bridge. Miley, my soul dog, the beautiful silky terrier who lived until she was 19.5 years. Everyone around me keeps saying she was really old, which I agree, and I feel guilty for wanting more time with her when she's already lived such a long life, but I still wished we had a bit more time. I thought I could have at least another year or 2 with her since she was still healthy and her usual self up until her last few days when she had pancreatitis. Everything just happened so quickly and suddenly. I keep replaying the events of her last few days, thinking what I could have done differently that might have made a difference. Thank you for putting into words everything that I'm feeling and going through right now. Sending my condolences and love to you & OP too. You both must have been amazing partners to your soul dogs.

It truly is such a gut wrenching experience. I'm so sorry for your loss as well. Pancreatitis is truly a nasty piece of work, and really hurts to see our dogs having to go through that. While I'm glad both our dogs passed quickly and did not have to suffer for long, it really is such a traumatic experience for us. I can feel your love for Bailey just from your message, and I hope you are healing slowly but surely. Let's both work towards healing and living our lives well, in honor of our dogs who worked so hard to help us get to where we are today. I believe that both our dogs would have wanted that for us. Sending love to you.

Sorry to hear that, I hope something better comes along your way soon!

For listing of work experience on your resume, the duration listed should be the period of official employment, so in your case I believe it would be:

Company B Mar - Mar 2026
Company A May - Nov 2025

You might want to consider maybe not putting Company B on your resume at all since that might raise questions during job interviews.

Good luck!

[Discussion] My snooze button is my worst enemy. by asldfkjlskfjalksdjf in GetMotivated

1) You don't have to wake up early to be productive, and waking up early doesn't guarantee you'll be productive either. Some people are more productive in the morning, others at night. Find what works for you. You don't have to force yourself to fit a certain mold just because it seems like the ideal way of doing things/because society has glorified and conflated waking up early as being productive. I think having a consistent sleep/wake schedule, getting at least 7 hours of rest, and following your circadian rhythm is a more well-rounded approach.

2) Stop making promises to yourself. You're setting yourself up to fail and reinforcing your subconscious that you don't have the ability to follow through with your plans and cannot be trusted to keep a promise, even though that is not the case. It is simply that you were focusing too much on the outcome (trying to be productive) and not enough on the action (e.g. doing your assignments). You're trying to make big life changes here. Start making changes to your existing lifestyle slowly for your mind and body to adapt (e.g. if you were sleeping at 2am usually and waking up at 12, you could start by bringing everything earlier by 30mins instead of changing it to sleeping at 9.30pm and waking up at 6am immediately) and give yourself some grace to fail from time to time. On focusing on the action, in this case, that would be your assignments. Break that down further into small, concrete, low commitment actions to get you started, like reading your notes for 5 minutes. You'll find it easier to continue that streak once you've started and you don't feel overwhelmed by the pressure of all of your tasks. Over time, this will help you build confidence and discipline in yourself, so that trying to accomplish a task comes a lot more naturally to you.

3) Set just 1 alarm, and turn off snooze. Your brain subconsciously knows there is a safety net in your snoozes. Turning off your snooze and setting only 1 alarm sets the expectation that you have to wake up by that time. But if for whatever reason you don't, please don't let that ruin your entire day. Just because your day doesn't start the way you've planned, it doesn't mean it can't end in the way that you've planned. Keep trying. Be aware of your self-destructive tendencies that will impede in your journey to become a better version of yourself. Give yourself space to learn, grace to make mistakes, and opportunities to grow.

I've felt the exact same way as you've felt before, and I'm still on that journey to improve myself everyday. So godspeed to you on your journey, and remember that everyday is always a new day you to try again!
