My upstairs neighbor rearranged their bedroom a couple months ago and now they walk across a section of their floor that creeks so loud it literally wakes me up with one creek. That wouldn't be such a big deal if they didn't also walk across that spot constantly all morning so I can't go back to sleep. That means I'm waking up at 4:30 every day, and cannot go back to sleep. I try, and that just makes me more miserable because I can't bc the noise never stops. I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm verging psychosis. I talked to the office, Maintenance hasn't called me back. I wrote them a note and left it on the door, it wasn't rude. It just explained the situation, then I got an email from the office saying not to do that. Idk, a diff apartment will increase my rent at least $250 and I like my apartment. Idk what to do.

I juggled a lot as a kid. I went to circus camp and was obsessed for a few years. I'm starting to get back into it and I want new clubs. I bought six Renegade 95mm clubs as a kid. Two have since broke, but I also don't like that they're bigger than standard clubs. Since I can't really try out any of the options, I'm hoping for peoples' opinions on what I should get. PX3 and PX4 are what I'm trying to decide between, but I'm also open to other suggestions. will the flex in the PX3s be too much for me coming from a wood dowel club? thanks!

Therapist says I need to get outside and exercise more, and juggling in the park checks both those boxes, so I'll be heading to Cascade Park with my jugglin stuff at around 3 today. I'd also love to meet more cool creative people so if you're feeling whimsical, come find me. You don't even have to juggle, but I'll be juggling.

From Wikipedia: The term juggling can also commonly refer to other prop-based manipulation skills, such as diabolo, plate spinning, devil sticks, poi, cigar boxes, contact juggling, hooping, yo-yo, hat manipulation and [hackey sacks].

Edit: I changed it to Cascade park since it looks like no one is joining me and it's closer to my apartment. I plan to start doing this at least once a week as I want to get good at juggling again. And if there's anyone reading this who has passing skills, I'd love to pass some clubs. It's been years since I've had a passing partner.

I lost my IT job in May of 2025 for no cause. I was a good employee, I got a raise every time I had a review, I had unemployment for 6 months, and now I am so desperate, I don't know what to do. It's been over a year now and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm getting interviews, but I haven't gotten an offer.

I changed careers to IT in 2019 and lost my first job to COVID. Then I got a call center help desk role, a year and a half later I got a job at a Managed IT provider. I was there for three years. I learned a ton. I felt I was good at my job and was reassured of that numerous times. My previous employer told me that they would be a good reference and I was given severance, but I was totally shocked that I was being let go.

I have no clue why I'm not getting any offers. I don't know anyone in a position to hire people to help me with my interview skills. I cry almost every day and I'm embarrassed to see my friends or meet new people. The only time I've left my house in like two months outside of errands was to juggle in a park one time because I felt lonely and impulsive. This is the darkest point in my life. I really thought I was on a path and trajectory to have a career, now I just feel like I failed and I have no clue why. I'm 39, I feel like a loser and it's over.

Sorry for the word vomit, I'm just so depressed and feel so hopeless and alone. All my family lives in other states and all my friends have babies so I feel like an imposition on them if I'm anything but bubbly and smiley and jokey. So I just shut myself in my apartment.

Probably going to a park to juggle again today. Or I might just stay in bed.
