2025 Week #44 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 10/27/25 - Sunday 11/02/25)
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.

AS WE GET CLOSER TO WEEK #52 OF 2025, IS ANYONE PONDERING THIER PROGRESS FOR THIS YEAR?
AND ALSO
ARE THERE THINGS YOU WANT TO GET DONE BEFORE THE FIRST WEEK OF 2026?
Exercise more drink less and lose weight, take care of my health
@bubblePapaya124
I HOPE YOU DO IT.
"Drink less" (I assume you mean alcohol and not just sugary drinks)
Over Drinking kind of snuck up on me this year. It's hard not to relax with it but it is a sneaky crutch that eventually sucks more good energy than it ever gives... and then gets worse. I hope you can drink less too.
This year I've gained a little bit of stability. Not 100% percent, but enough to be hopeful.
I would like to finish this year, with my equipment being in working order and properly maintained for the winter.
I also would like to do enough work to have some starting capital for the start of 2026.
I think I've lost more sleep this year.
Back in the office on a day I have off after getting less than three hours of sleep. And that was an aftermath of being in the office for ten hours on a day I shouldn't have been there and having to take the dog out to play for an hour as soon as I got back because she needed her exercise. Only planning on staying a few hours today but that was the plan yesterday.
The major goal this week is to get caught up in my class since I'll have four days to do it starting tomorrow. Have to get all the work stuff out of the way today and somehow find time to relax (is that a thing?) if that's at all possible.
@Enthenia
Zero in on your classes. you've done very well and you can do it again.
It's tough fighting uphill, but it feels good when we overcome, (which you will). I sending you, good vibes, diligence and a bit of good luck.
@IsayUncle I am so ready to leave. I have four names left. Chrome won't load one of the we applications and now Edge is taking forever. I can't get one document to save on Chrome. I had wanted to be gone by eight. It's after 11 now. I need to go to the restroom and I still have those other spreadsheets to do. I also have to move files.
This is precisely why I have 130+ hours of unused vacation time...
Aand I'm still here and probably will be for the rest of the afternoon. Got the names done but have to copy files over and make notations on the spreadsheet. Still have those four other spreadsheets to look at. No grocery store for me. Promised the dog her bones but that's not going to happen.
This is exactly why I don't expect good things or fairness or anything really.
@Enthenia
"EXPECTING" good things or fairness is a quick road to embitterment. Be careful staying on that path too long.
Seeing, recognizing and embracing good things as they happen is a much better path to travel.
"NO good things ever happen to me"..... is never true. "I do not see or feel all the good things that happen to me"..... can be true. The next question is important. WHY?
I apologize in advance, if my philosophy sounds harsh, but it's not. It is food for thought to foster an occasional smile.
@Enthenia
It sounds like you are going through a very rough week. It's like a roller coaster. and sometimes it gets really bad. Hang in there.... Keep pushing through is all you can do. It will level out.
I cannot possibly think of any other job that would allow so much time to do classwork. It sounds like a mutually good trade at times.
But obviosly, not this week.
@IsayUncle well they don't really care so long as the work gets done. But because I now have to reopen every single file folder and it takes a minute or two to go back a folder... try multiplying 2 minutes by 80 or 90 names. That turns into hours that I get delayed. And the Internet or the connection slowdown and the browser problems...
I'm cancelling my request to take Thanksgiving off and I'm not even going to bother trying for Christmas. My free time in the morning will now have to be spent at my computer in an attempt to keep up with the demands. No one in management cares or understands (they aren't ever in the office anyway), they just want the work done a week ago preferably.
So I don't exactly know if it's a good thing. All I know is this is all I have at the moment and I have to go out of my way to keep up even though the demands seem to keep increasing while the "supervisors" can get away with chatting all day if they feel like it.
I'm merely a work horse and will continue to be until I can get the degree I've been trying to get or I break under the strain, whichever comes first.
And now I must get back to it and attempt to finish things that should have been finished yesterday on my planned vacation day. After all, work horses don't get time off...
Aand I had to restart because of security patches. Don't know if they will fix the issues I've been having, make them worse, or give me new things to deal with...
This week, talking to myself is the way of the day....... 🤪.
The way of the warrior, is of solitude strength. Doubt not yourself, Expect no mercy.
Be kind, Give mercy, Work hard, Expect nothing, Appreciate good things, Be thankful.
(Especially when being alone and feeling lonely)
Be the warrior, head into the stormy winds, forging forward.
I don't feel particularly well and I forgot my tea (also don't have a lot of stuff with me today because a package that should have been delivered Friday went MIA. Was supposed to come yesterday but didn't. I don't think they have any idea where it is) but I'm actually at the point where I can log onto my university's page!! From now on, I'll have to use my free time to work and come in on an occasional Sunday to keep up with it all. The stuff I got was apparently supposed to be done almost a week ago. The only way I can stay on top is to shortchange myself on other things like time off, free time and weekends.
Not fair but life isn't fair. I realized that a long time ago.
I should go to the restroom before I wade into my classwork though.
I'm down to the last part of the 4th lab! But then I had to stop trying to find an answer and do things that I forgot. Well i think one of the spreadsheets that I thought had saved didn't so I had to pull all that information again.
Aand, right when I try to go back to my lab (after running away for like fifteen minutes to go to the restroom and eat my little lunch), I get an email about a VIP wire approval that was missed because it wasn't sent to the correct email. Right now I'm waiting for the system to process the search request for the name. Already closed the window and opened it once. Still thinking.
I have a little over an hour left so maybe I can at least start on my 5th lab...
It would be nice to win a substantial cash prize so I could leave this place...
Today I am caught up (at least I am for now). I am going to start on the 5th lab which I tried to start yesterday but only accomplished in reading the introduction. The goal is to get the labs out of the way today and focus on the papers tomorrow since they all have to be submitted by Sunday.
At least there's hardly anyone in the office today so I won't feel like I'm being singled out for anything...
But right now, I should go to the restroom (I really shouldn't delay it but with the way work is...)
75% done with the 5th lab. Have to leave in about a minute so I will have a lot to do tomorrow...
Let's increase the exercise!! And check off some todo'
@bubblePapaya124
Sounds Good. You can do it! Does dancing count for exercise? 
😁
3AM: Morning tasks.... YAY, I gained an extra hour because i'm already up and the clocks are set back.
425AM: Do customer #1 & Customer #2 paperwork. | Shred carrots, cabbage and onion.
@IsayUncle
