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

It already happened on Monday. Found out the surgery was a success, and I'm now cancer free \o/

For my cat's test results to come back negative.

What kind of animal is it then if it's not a cat?

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 :)

Considering they're en route to the hospital now, welcoming my very first nephew to the world would be a pretty awesome highlight

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 job offer. I work in software and it's tough out there this summer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Same. Feels like employers refuse to hire anyone.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

All my digestive problems could disappear. That'd be rad.

No more heartburn. No more constipation.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Melatonin gives me some trippy ass dreams/night terrors

Win the lottery. A lot would be solved if I got a little bit more cash.

a decent job offer, have been job hunting for 2 months, but i'm neither senior nor junior. for some stuff i'm expert, others i have never done, the recruiters do not like this.

[–] Nommer 11 points 1 year ago

I won't be forced to work 6 days again and actually a good 3 days off so I can recharge for once.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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.

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

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.

Saturday, visiting Tijuana Mexico for first time. Driving down from San Diego.

Hoping for a nice safe visit.

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… 🀞🏻

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

you won't wake up as a Yedi

What is that? Like a Yeti Jedi?

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.)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

I could find Β£1,500 dropped in my lap to cover my ADHD treatment expenses. Literally all of them.

Or I can just continue to suffer until I'm eventually homeless, I guess, seeing as that's an amount of money I'll never see, because life is unfortunately cruel and hopeless.

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

[–] cokane_88 5 points 1 year ago

Nothing planned, might drop some LSD or shrooms

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (12 children)

Why wait for them to ask you?
