2025 Week #33 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 08/11/25 - Sunday 08/17/25)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

Do Your Best and Get Your rest.
Things are usually much harder then we think. Do your best. Be kind to yourself and Be kind to others.

@IsayUncle my dad had a coffee cup with this picture...
My goals are pretty much the same as last week except I have to go back and fix assingments instead of doing them. I'm sort of caught up at work. I need to pull files for people on my other report but that shouldn't take too long. I'll fix one assignment t his morning, work on my report for work and then start (hopefully) fixing another assignment this afternoon. Then I'll only have one to start fixing and I can complete the course and move on to the next one which is a forensics course.
So I went to resubmit one of the assignments and it wouldn't let me. Well first it couldn't find my courses so I went another way and saw that the course was marked as Failed. I don't know when they started that. All my other ones say "completed". I also don't get why I failed. It was only the last three assignments that were unsatisfactory. So seven out of ten were good. That's at least a C. I guess I should have redone them on Friday instead of work. I blew off work today trying to reformat everything only to not be able to resubmit.
I have emailed my academic coach about it because I'd like to have the opportunity to resubmit.
I have enrolled in a new course. The one I had initially chosen was no longer available so I had to pick another course. This one is Cybersecurity Defense and Ethical Hacking. And, it's with a professor I've had before. The one for the course I apparently "finished" was new to me. However, I still don't see why I failed unless she put more weight on the formatting than I thought.
@Enthenia
It looks like you're trying to hit the books again pretty hard. I wish your courses or your professor was more professional or like minded do the nuances.
I don't think you should get penalized harshly for general misunderstandings and logical interpretations what you were doing. But I guess that's why I'm not a computer teacher.😬.
I guess cyber security and hacking is a pretty big subject matter right now. I would guess that that's extremely important to understand if you're gonna be working with any computer programs. So good job on taking up that course, I hope you do well 😀
@IsayUncle well it is a professor I've had before. I recognized the nickname he put on the welcome to the course email. I should watch the video I guess. He has templates for how he wants the papers submitted. I think I was annoyed with it at first (think he does a table of contents and everything) but I was able to adapt.
I'm still on the email for the previous course. I'm waiting to hear back from the academic coach on what I need to do. My coworker was saying that the graduation rate for these online courses was pretty low--like students would give up before completing. But if the courses are weighted so heavily, I can understand why people would quit.
Still, it's the first course I haven't passed so even if I can't redo it, I don't think it'll completely sink my GPA.
Just doesn't seem entirely fair but I know life isn't fair...
@Enthenia
Do you think they make it hard to pass so they can make more money or is it just the fact that college courses are hard to pass, whether you do them online or in person?
I can imagine online college is such a huge industry now, that there must be numerous levels of fair and relevant courses, along with easy and phony accreditations.
And I guess there would be a whole world of accepted schools or companies that are respected in the industry as being legitimate versus fly by the night institutions.
With that said, I guess one would have to really be careful what and who they take their courses from.
I never thought about this before, but I can see where this could be a problem and somewhat of a trap for students. Is this stuff that you considered before taking your courses?
@Enthenia
RE: Coworker comment.
I think your coworker is right about the graduation ratio being low, but I sincerely believe that has a lot more to do with the individuals then the courses.
I don't know if I'm right or not but I can imagine there are thousands and thousands of individuals that sign up for these college courses thinking that it's something that they can do in their spare time and it'll be kind of easy etcetera.
After a couple weeks or a month or so they just drop out or quit going to the courses.
You do not even come close to fitting into that criteria so, even though your coworker is right, I don't think that applies to you.
I also believe that there are probably a lot of courses out there do I'm not designed right and people have a hard time finishing them. But I think that's less of a reason for low graduation.
@IsayUncle like the one I just had? Still haven't heard anything from the coach. I need to finish pulling the background data on the list of customers. Have to do that Friday. I have to go to the dentist tomorrow. There's only fourteen I need to do.
Speaking on the dentist, are a lot of people remiss in their appointments? I've had at least eight reminders from them which started a week ago. I had three today. It's nothing serious. I spend more time with the technician than the actual dentist. I just noticed that I was getting what seemed to be a lot of reminders.
I'll try to start on the first assignment for the new course on Friday. I'm supposed to used recent peer-reviewed articles as references and I don't exactly know how to do that. Never had to do it before.
@IsayUncle
hi Uncle- still trying to push through with work. my anxiety is heightened so being present would be wonderful right about now 😢
i tried something new today and did some yoga. Cleaned the house up a bit.
I would love to be kind to myself if you have any suggestions
thanks for all you do
@peachThinker662
I hope you made it through yesterday and are feeling better today. Enjoy the yoga! 😀
Thank you and you're welcome. I don't really do much. I came up with this idea that every week of the year is important. Some are bad and some are good. but all are fresh starts if we want them to be.
Sooooo, i just make a space to share and start afresh every week. And by years end, maybe, just maybe we're better of from our efforts. 🤗.
just be kind to yourself..... REMEMBER, We all to stroll through the muck a lot. whether it's the muck today or a sunny path, just be nice to yourself.... that makes everything just right! (not easy but just right 💗)
My one goal for today is to get added into the taglist for this type of thread. 😊
@Reddi
Consider your goal wish granted. 😁.
Note: i start a fresh thread every week, on Monday, thru Sunday... so your name will be added to the series tag list 😀
I think I told people here about the lack of communication where I work and the fact that some information only gets shared with certain people. Wed. I saw a guy who used to work with us then left a year or so ago. He was sitting with one of the supervisors. When I went to the restroom, I noticed that he was sitting at someone else's desk. I hadn't seen this other person for a while. Figured he was working from home. Today when I come in, I glance at the name plate at the desk. It's been changed.
We had a personnel change and no one said anything about it. One of the things I got in trouble for that one time was not communicating and being a team player. But, management does the exact same thing. Half of the staff is never in the office and there is literally no communication from managers to regular people. Even when one newly appointed supervisor mentioned this, the others didn't want to be more open. And there was only one meeting that informed the masses what was going on.
I'm so past this environment. Yes, I may not be putting my best effort into the job as I was but there literally is no reason why I should.
Hello everyone.
I'm sorry I'm not able to respond as much as I usually do.
I've been working super long hours and most of the time, I'm dog tired and brain dead. 😵.
Please keep writing and posting if it helps.. I do get in here to read them a little bit, so if it matters, you are being heard and thought of. 💗.
I always try to encourage everyyone writing in this thread to interact with other threadsters and feel free to show encouragement and support with each other, whenever possible.
I got a good chance to pay down my bills for the next few weeks but my personal life is going to seed. i should be able to fix that later.
