Random Lurker here
I normally dont post often at all. I lurk from time to time, less so recently because life. But a few years back i posted that I got into med school, because of the COVID stuff we got graduated early and its now Dr!
Currently working too
I spent quite some time on the forums reading when the revision became too mind numbing. I thought it would be nice to post the conclusion the forum was quite a nice place for breaks from all the other stuff at times just wanted to show my appreciation, thank you!

Congrats! I hope it's not too stressful graduating in such silly times. And we'll totally take credit here at the forum for helping you get though. Hell, it's what we do best

Nonetheless congratulations hope you are successful!

One day you may say that you knew cause, he didnt cure Covid 19 but he diagnosed the crap out of it

Just remember, if it seems to be going badly, break into song.

New job on the Isle of Man starts today! Rather excited.

[Tsundoku]

Let's hope it doesn't end up like Midsomer.

Or any of those other quaint English murder villages. You know - all of them.

On the upside - you'd be busy.

Isn't that the isle where there is no speed limit and you can set up an off shore account to launder money....

Just did 5km of jogging/fast walking with the dog ... and then felt so good at the end we tacked another 1.5km on. Just under 40 minutes. Whew! Shower time.

It's so nice and quiet when you do it after 10pm.

Weirdly it happens after the pandemic and not before but I’m starting to finally make some progress in the job from.

Had one final round interview, should hear back soon
Two first rounds
And into a second round with a tech start up in LA

That's good going. Aiming to get going with the running again while I'm injury free and have some time.

New barefoot running shoes came today - they are awesome, feel like a second skin, without any restriction to movement and great grips. Have yet to test them over distance though - also zero ankle support if I need it.

Oh just got my copy of 'The Art of Star Wars Rebels' - it's just beautiful! Love it.

Lockdown and decent weather means my garden is looking badass this year. And I don't have to feel bad that I'm not taking the sprog anywhere while I concentrate on it. Bliss. I can't believe I am here mentally as I was on the edge the first couple of weeks of this. I feel so bad for people without outside space.

Like I said earlier - take it very slowly and easily. Walk around the house/lawn with them first, and then work your way up to firmer surfaces and longer duration before doing any kind of impact speeds ie jogging and above.
I worked with a guy who got a pair, then went out and did 10km and wound up fucking half the ligaments and tendons in both ankles and feet.
I'm sure there are websites which will give you some sort of "ease into it" program.

Thanks, I'm just running on the playing field while the kids play, nothing too serious yet. Did a few laps today with no ill effects, just grass running so low impact. 10k, ha I wish!

New mechanical keyboard is giving me way too much joy.

I'm typing this post mostly to hear the sound it makes as I type. It's going to drive my family insane though.

Refrigerator in the garage (aka Beer Fridge) is stocked with beers. Weekend project break time is a go!

So I'm pretty sure I was borderline depressed before the pandemic hit. Or probably not even borderline. I'd been miserable and exhausted for ages, we had a terrible 2019. Many of the Christmas cards we got last Christmas said something along the lines of "At least 2020 has to be better". Cue global pandemic. I thought I was going to have a breakdown in April but the fog lifted a few weeks ago. The problem I've been having for a few years is that I like all of the aspects of my life but I can't handle keeping them all going all at once. Life suddenly seems a lot more simple and I think it has lifted the cloud. I feel like myself again, it's bloody brilliant. How to keep it going?
