I’ve had some hardships over the past year and life can be a complicated mess but everyone has their ups and downs.
I got a big promotion a year ago but the benefits haven’t outweighed the negatives so I’m at a crossroads. It has brought me financial stability in these hard times though which I’m thankful for but I know I’m going to have to make a decision one way or the other at some point.
My son has become fully invested in baseball this year and the journey still continues. He went from Little League to All Stars to now travel ball and will pitch in his first 9U kid pitch game tomorrow so that’s very exciting. I’m a nervous wreck but can’t wait to see him perform. We have lived at the baseball field since April, and it’s been an honor to watch him grow as a person and player. I don’t think we’ll know what to do with ourselves when the travel season ends next month but basketball is next up for him and he’s excited for that. Hopefully this year I can get him into watching some KU games with me as he was curious at times last season.
With work - similarly I got a promotion about a year ago. Then immediately we were (are) and industry current administration is going after. Caused a ton of stress. Went to therapy to help me understand why I was hating work so much. It very much helped keep things in perspective. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it first before leaving.
Congrats on the baseball! Good luck to him pitching! I miss playing baseball at that age more than any other competitive sports I played.
My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?
@wissoxfan83 HA! It’ll be like in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with that old sage lookin guy stuck in the ancient cavern death trap, he cant leave cuz his immortality wont last past the seal. THat’ll be Coach K, He wont be able to leave Cameron Indoor or he will turn to dust and he’ll be all in chain mail and a white templar knight big shirt thing…when he wins 2000. LOL!
It’s sad to see an all time great go out due to injury. Kind of like Bird and his back. Unfortunately, time remains an undefeated foe. You may hold it off for a while, but eventually everyone succumbs to it.
@VailHawk I’m not a greedy type. Even when Powerball goes over $100 million I’ve told the local store to tell the Powerball people all I want it about $20 mil to divie up to family and the Powerball people could keep the rest. They still won’t draw my numbers. Out of Benson’s estimated $2 billion, again just $20 mill would make me happy. Maybe a private suite in the Dome and the Arena. But those aren’t deal breakers.
Thanks. You are describing some the other half of the problems I had in that organization.
More and more meetings, reports, and rules and less and less autonomy to do one’s job.
The current job I have is 180 degrees from that and I count myself very lucky.
