Loud Valley Resort Nightmare Mode. I have searched everywhere and I cannot find this one chair!! Does anyone know where it is?
ETA: I FOUND THAT FUCKER. It was near the truck (but behind a gate)
In Australia, we have Anzac Day on the 25th of April. This commemorates the landing of Australian and New Zealand army corps troops at Gallipoli (Ottoman Empire), 25th April, 1915 (WW1).
Some of this day's traditions include: baking/eating ANZAC biscuits (they are NOT cookies!), dawn service, and playing The Last Post.
New Zealand also has this holiday, so it's not completely unique (which is why I included region, too). I'm very curious to see what other countries' public holidays are for (and if I already know some of them!)
It all started last Monday, when my family and I noticed that we had absolutely no hot water in the morning (which never happens). I was home all day, and it didn’t come back at all. I went outside to check the massive electric heating unit (which we’d programmed to run at specific times of the day), thinking maybe it was off for some reason. Turned on the display, and it read 59ºC. I checked that the other heater (a much smaller unit that runs from 7am-11pm, so that we have hot water on-demand) was working - completely fine. Both systems were definitely working, yet absolutely no hot water (I ran a tap for 5 minutes and nothing!).
The strange part was that the very next morning (Tuesday), we had hot water again. I’m sure that it didn’t get used up (we still had hot water that night), yet the next morning (Wednesday), there was no hot water once again.
It is now Sunday, and the trend of only getting hot water every other day is still going. Nothing recently has occurred that would warrant this sudden change (i.e., no one has touched the heating units, and we haven’t switched electricity providers), and we can’t figure out why this is happening.
I’m not the property owner (my parents are), but I was the one who programmed the heaters because my parents are technologically illiterate. So, if anyone has any ideas as to why our hot water acting strangely, I’m all-ears.
In the last couple of days, I’ve noticed a scratching sound in my left AirPod. The noise only occurs in NC or Transparancy (*much* louder). I’ve tried:
- Cleaning the silicone tips.
- Resetting the AirPods
- Brushing all the vents with a toothbrush + compressed air
But to no avail. The most infuriating part is that the scratching sound comes and goes for no reason. It also doesn’t happen if NC is turned off (but what’s the point in having them if you can’t use Transparancy or NC?)
Does anyone have a fix for this, or am I going to have to contact customer support?
Title says it all. I want nothing more than to restart my life with what I know now. I could have made the most of high school - actually had friends, a girlfriend, and so much more. I had so much potential and I squandered it by being a fuck-up. Now I have crippling anxiety and depression, a quarter-finished degree that I’m barely doing, and still no friends or girlfriend.
I’ve *tried* reasoning that I needed to make those mistakes to become who I am, but the only thing they gave me was social anxiety, self-loathing, and instability. I’m at a point where I simultaneously hate that I can’t make meaningful connections, and couldn’t give a fuck about the ones that I already have. It seems like the only solution is a do-over in life, so it’s a goddamn shame that such a remedy doesn’t exist.
I hate my life, and I hate what I’ve become.
I've never been an anxious person and always performed well under pressure. But now, it feels like I can't cope under *any* pressure at all; as soon as I've got more than one assignment, I get crippling anxiety that makes the thought of standing up feel overwhelming.
This anxiety writes off at least the entire day - trying to even make lunch is like attempting to reason with a toddler having a tantrum - if I so much as *suggest* the idea of doing something productive, my insides tense up and the voice in my head screams "NO, NO NO!!"
Just 6 months ago, this wasn't an issue at all. I don't understand how or why I've gone from never feeling anxious to being in an almost constant state of nervous tension, in which my left hand trembles.
I hate this, and I hate that the only thing I can do is weather the storm on my own, since I don't have friends, and I feel emotionally detached from my parents.
How the actual fuck am I supposed to finish my degree, let alone become a *high school teacher* with this shit? It's not like there's any other job that would be both fulfilling *and* not so intense.
As someone with no physical (in-person) friends, it disappoints me that most people at uni appear shallow and aren’t looking for genuine friendships (especially when I’m not really in a position where I have time to chat with others at work; Woolies proactive services). Look, I get that some people just don’t enjoy my type and that’s completely fine, but when things fizzle out *every* time, regardless of how good the first impression was? I don’t understand.
I’ve heard that although it’s easier to *start* talking to others in Australia, we Aussies aren’t too keen on making new friends - is this true? Has anyone else experienced this, or am I an outlier?
I’ve lived here my whole life, but if this is just how things are, I might as well move to a different country to find my people - they sure as hell aren’t here.
