  • Wow that sounds like a big realization.
    Does “applied for work only as a housekeeping step” mean you applied to jobs because you’re forced to? We have the same in Sweden, if I want any income at all I have to apply to at least 6 jobs every month.

    I think my anxiety with this boils down to two things: How perfect and unique every application “has” to be and also the bureaucracy itself.

    I really hate stepping on toes but I guess that’s part of life, more or less.

    I have also recently realized how important networking is. I’m putting much more energy into trying to connect to people around me, adding them on LinkedIn, and stuff like that. During school we had a discord server for our class and I’m thinking about letting the classes “below” us in as well, (we were first) so we can create a network with a base on the same education. I think I’ll have to coordinate that with the school, I should send them a mail soon.

    I also want to be a part of a kind of meetup thing were we host small events once or twice a month but I’ve never done something like that before and I don’t even know where to begin 😅



  • ooh I understand! Cats are weird 😂 I mean, maybe you better stick to that litterbox, or maybe you could buy another one and drill holes in it?

    wow yeah it blends in well but it’s also fairly visible due to the completely different texture (shiny against dull) and placed well. Nice!
    Mine is standing on the floor! 😅
    What hahah, it’s not like it have to be in the hallway. It should be placed where it’s easy to reach. I currently have mine on the floor in the guest room. The guestroom is right next to the entrance, but still.

    Sounds nice tho! My home is a complete mess with all shades of white/gray/black and multiple kinds of wood. It feels quite cluttered and we have a lot of stuff as well so that doesn’t help.
    Have you seen those wrappings you can use on furniture? It’s apparently called ‘dekorplast’ or ‘möbelfolie’. Bauhaus has some. It’s pretty cool how much you can change with that!

    I think I type a bit faster on the computer as well but I find it easier to take paper notes while listening 🤷 And also if the notes aren’t linear I prefer paper so I can draw arrows and stuff.
    I have recently started using Obsidian and that program really helps me focus on the notes and not how it looks. I previously used Notion, wich is also great but if you go over a certain amount of GB you’ll have to pay.


  • It’s not a lot of work, often you just scoop out the poop, similar to how you scoop a litterbox while the pee crumbles and falls to the bottom (you practically use two stacked boxes with holes in the top one), I clean my litterbox once a day and then empties the bottom part every 2-3 days. I sometimes wipe the bottom with baby wipes (great for cleaning). I have two cats.

    My cats didn’t really like it but after mixing it in with the sand for weeks I went cold turkey and just replaced the sand with pellets and that went fine, I have a pretty thick layer, around 10cm that they dig around in.

    Wow, that is really not meant to have cars. That sucks.

    woah, that does sound unsettling with everything in white, it’s worse than a hospital!
    I’ve always been a bit confused about that, having emergency stuff in white. But it’s still easy to see?
    I have a small fire extinguisher that stands in the hallway.

    Wood is nice in so many ways, it’s always unique, durable, and pretty colors. I want as much wood as possible haha

    Wow, all of those walls are so beautiful!, e-ink is really starting to be well developed with clear colors pretty much like a photo, and that could easily be used as a picture frame or accent wall and it won’t use electricity at all.

    I agree, my home is my sanctuary.
    I think it’s okay we went of topic a bit 😅

    EDIT: I forgot to check the pellets vs clay link and it seems correct. I’d say the pellets are cheaper, sure a bag of pellets costs around 100kr but I need a new one every 3 months or so.
    You would want a litterbox like this for easier cleaning and protip; but an old newspaper in the bottom.
