My wife has got me a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas! How do I know this? Well, Kindle hand been trying to get me to upgrade for a while as mine is so old, so they offered me 30% off and £25 Kindle credits! I had to order that from my account though haha so the email came through to say it's been delivered. I'm not allowed it until Christmas though, so it's on with my dead tree versions for now.

Oh baby, you're in for a treat. The Paperwhite will blow you away compared to what you had. Congrats, even if you have to wait a few months for it.

Yeah man I'm hyped but I've got so many actual books I doubt I'll move not having it for a bit... Which is for the best really!

I was planning on going with the standard "this sucks… I quit". Since no one is in the office, getting a cake seems like a waste of money.

I would also accept some variation of this:

Send a virtual card cake that something bursts out of w the message 'i'm outta here"!

Great now I have to watch Office Space again.

That wasn't sarcasm, it's really a great thing that I have to watch it again!

You sold not be angry about this. It really lives up to the simplistic quality that it espouses, and it's a joy to read books on.

I have not been able to get in yet. My doctor is a prick and the last time I mentioned it he looked at me like I had two heads (I'm not sure why GP's are so weird about it; my dads GP was weird/standoffish about it too). But the plan is for 2023. Good luck sir!

I need too. Soon.

But the ole lady is still holding out hope I’ll change my mind about a 3rd kid.

Lady! I’m 43, our two are just now to the point where they can start to fend for themselves, and you want to start all over again? I’m tired. 😆

Nope. Nope. Nopity nope.

FYI, I had a kid who was working for me who was getting one at 26. He’s had 3 kids with 3 different ladies and he was done.

I told him after he gets snipped nothing comes out but a puff of air. He was a little salty with me after he talked to his dr who had to correct him.

My wife very occasionally gets these pangs for a 3rd as well, and I'm the same as you "We JUST got here where they are not babies or toddlers anymore and you want to start all over again?! Not a chance."

I wait until both kids are being untenably awful on a given day driving us both nuts and say "See, we don't need a third"

LOL

We were only ever going to have 2 but then we had two at once and we were very much in agreement about all measures needed to stop a 4tg coming along haha

The combination of not having to worry about another pregnancy and not dealing with rubbers anymore is pretty spectacular indeed.

On another note I finally managed to land a non-retail job after 18 years with a shitty drugstore chain. I'm stupidly excited for evenings, weekends, and holidays off.
