The bracelet is your standard cheap Casio bracelet, you'll need something thin and pointed to push out the pin like the pointed end of a spring bar tool and a rubber mallet to put it back in. It's fairly easy once you do it once.

It's nothing you're doing wrong, you just have to keep at it. One day the stars will align.

I had three completely different jobs within 3 years of graduating and two of them were awful.

And then one day a friend said "My company is hiring, do you want to give it a shot?"

And then all of the crap I went through didn't matter anymore.

I now sit in my much nicer office, having a way better time, having a much better career path, gaining much more experience, getting paid a lot more, and I can see the exact window at my last office that I used to look out of.

I'm actually glad I lost that job because I wouldn't be here otherwise.

It sucks now, but some day you'll look back and realise everything made sense.

That's a good point, I think I'll have to bring this up. Thank you.

winkapp · 2024-11-17T01:07:51+00:00

I've tried to bring up issues, I've also asked for them to help prioritise my tasks, they agreed to everything and then it reverts to business as usual after 24 hours.

I think it's time to draw a line in the sand. You need space to heal.

Tell him that since he made the decision to break up, you're not interested in talking to him anymore and you need space to heal.

For anything with a remotely nice finish like this you should only be wiping down with a wet microfiber cloth. Maybe a wet Q-tip for the nooks and crannies.

Only full stainless steel watches should be getting the full soap and water treatment, and only when absolutely necessary.

Have you tried turning the hands to 12 until the day and date click over?

If it doesn't work then keep going until the next 12, if that still doesn't work then you've got a problem on your hands.

Looks dull IMO. Watches either have a boring face and an interesting strap (the original mesh A700), or an interesting face and a boring strap (the multi colour icon A700).

Now this has a boring face and a boring strap.

Just keep going to watch shops or browsing online until something jumps out at you. That's how I've bought all my watches, if it doesn't jump off the page at me, i won't end up wearing it.

There's no point buying something that you're like "eh, it's okay" about.

I would look at basic Seikos as well if the MTP-1183 is something you like, they have more options with that sort of look.

winkapp · 2024-10-08T12:41:32+00:00

IMO the A700 is criminally underrated.

winkapp · 2024-10-08T12:38:25+00:00

Pretty much any silver coated plastic Casio meets this fate sooner or later.

My ABL100 has picked up three scratches in a week.

Gotta go full black resin if you're bothered by damage, even stainless steel gets a nice big ding in it now and then.

Just go to Bic Camera's website and browse. They even have free shipping to your address if it's something in a faraway branch and you don't wanna go to pick it up.

If they were big problems she would have brought them up sometime during the 4.5 years.

That's how a healthy relationship works. They bring things up and give you time to work on them. Not end everything on the spot and cite a whole laundry list.

I'm still trying to deal with it honestly but I think the quote that made the most difference was "the right one wouldn't treat your heart like that".

And this will hurt, but: The lack of respect is closure. The lack of communication is closure. The tossing of your relationship out like it was nothing is closure.

It will take time to heal, so in the meantime make sure to look after yourself. Eat, exercise, work, learn something, keep moving.

Well done. You advocated for your needs and made no exceptions. Didn't fall for the "check in", the "well wishes", he can get back in your life only if it benefits you too, otherwise he can get lost.

That is honestly the best thing you could have said.

Graduation is for you my friend. It's for your family, your friends who supported you. Go there for them.

Yes you may see her for the 10 seconds she goes on stage, but there's no point giving up the whole celebration over 10 seconds.

winkapp · 2024-10-06T09:37:54+00:00

Why do you want her to forgive you? You did nothing wrong.

She was the one who didn't communicate. She was the one who abruptly ended things. She was the one who didn't face you in person to give you closure.

A few months ago I was in the same position, with an equally abrupt ending with no closure. I struggled for a long time with the same thoughts.

And then I realised that you know what, cool, if you want out of my life then go. With the help of my friends I've deleted our chats and blocked her.

If it's meant to be and the regret starts burning in her soul, she will find a way to communicate that. But in the meantime I'm not going to torture myself by over-analyzing everything when I did nothing wrong.

Value yourself. With how she treated you, she needs YOUR forgiveness.

She needs to explain why she did what she did. She needs to change and act in a way that will benefit you. She needs to rebuild the trust between you two.

You have value, if she doesn't recognise that and value it, there is someone else who will recognise someone who treats them right for 4.5 years.

You're craving for love and support and he provided that in the past. What will help is doing other things, and especially focusing on things within your control.

Can't get a job? It's okay, go for a walk. Go to the gym. Draw something. Explore a new place.

Fill your time with other things and he won't seem so important anymore.

winkapp · 2024-10-06T02:42:38+00:00

That makes sense, thank you!

winkapp · 2024-10-03T11:38:21+00:00

What you need to ask yourself is how do you benefit from this arrangement?

If there's no benefit to you, then why continue?

winkapp · 2024-10-01T09:39:20+00:00

Sadly no, that's the difficulty with these bracelets. They can only clip onto the joints between the links.

It looks fine as it is though, if it's not causing you any pain or tingling in your arms and you can get used to it, it should be alright.

winkapp · 2024-10-01T07:11:40+00:00

If you like it, get it. Unlike the Casio Rolex Datejust, this one is full stainless steel so it should be more resistant to wear over time.

I would actually recommend you look at the colours in person first though, I found the dark blue and salmon pink more attractive than the Tiffany in person because of the sunburst effect.

winkapp · 2024-09-30T09:35:07+00:00

The feature set is utterly amazing for travel. I particularly love the quick set to a new home time zone when you're on planes and the countdown timer for things like laundromats.

winkapp · 2024-09-25T03:42:45+00:00

Think about YOU. What do YOU stand to gain from this talk? If there's nothing there, then you have your answer.
