Random Confessions

Staying in hotel right now due to Baltic Cup and how come hotel bed, shower and breakfast are so good?
Maybe it's just my travel quirk, but some things feel better when you are away..?
Anyways, finishing my breakfast and speeding for a tram, RD awaits!

I got a couple of notifications overnight about awards for being a 10 year member.

10 years?! :jaw: Have I really been a member of this forum for 10 years?! 😲

Being from a country where figure skating is an obscure sport, I never had anybody to talk to about it. But then I stumbled across the Golden Skate forum, and everything changed.

Through being a member of this forum, I've made so many new friends from all over the world. And learnt so many things, not just about figure skating, but also about un-related topics. And I've even met a few skaters (including one of my skating crushes! :biggrin: )

Unfortunately, I have also alienated a few members, including some that I really liked. And I really regret that.

But, on the whole, it's been a positive experience.

So, thank you to everybody on this forum. It's been a blast!

Following skating has to be pure fun IF you don't have favourites you are connecting with on emotional level.
Just saying.
I wish I wasn't emotionally invested this much. It really spoils viewer's experience lol.

Also, @CaroLiza_fan - congratulations on being the forum veteran! I will join in less than a month :). Time flew by. It was like yesterday when sunflowers saga in Grenoble happened and forum folks were so invested hehe. And ditto to getting to know people and gaining new knowledge.
 
This week kicks my behind at work in a crazy way.
I got left with smelly thing to deal with on Monday since co-worker assigned mysteriously fell ill (while they worked just day before, on Sunday...) and there is thing after thing after thing to do.
My trust issues are really getting workout. But another co-worker said to me pretty spot on thing yesterday: 'Do not expect certain ppl to change their ways now. They got accepted, no one disciplined them when they did sheet, so they got used to work like that. And now they are not changing their way of work because they know no one will say anything'.
Plus I do not even have energy to start cutting crepe paper and wire...
 
Oh, and I ordered TWO coats. 30% off brings the worst in me lol.
Catch me though not liking myself in either one and returning both.
Both are green, a color of hope they say (which I have none of before Skate Canada regarding how my faves will be treated by judges :laugh:

It's my favourite too :)
Well, there is already a green RD dress in the field (Lilah Fear has one if I'm not mistaken or if she will stick to it) plus PSquared's 17/18 SD costumes were in kinda green palette, so I think the RD costumes will not be green (my gut tells me red, wine color, something jewel-like, ruby maybe??). As for FD, I have no idea how costuming will look like...Evita OST imho could make several programs, in few different vibes...

Not sure, if anyone's interested in coats saga, but we have a plot twist...
They both arrived.
Both are fitting well.
And I like BOTH :scratch2::rolleyes:

The last thing I need is to have multiple coats while going out to a grocery store nearby twice a week. But here we are, with my consumerist habits, ugh...

Two coats, two trips to the grocery store; what could be better? I guess it could be better if their functionality is slightly different (one warmer, or more waterproof, or a brighter color, etc) to help you decide which one to wear on any given trip.

Ha, not bad idea with two coats for two grocery store visits :)
More seriously, I wanted to buy one black coat and one in color, preferably green or grey. Still looking for black one (as I am veeeeery picky when it comes to clothes), but I'll probably leave one of those green ones I ordered: the darker one. The color is pretty dark green, not emerald, more subdued. I like the length, the fit, pockets (important detail for me!) and material blend.

**not me monopolising this thread...**
My sinuses started to hurt this morning. Out of the blue. And headache derived from sinuses in the worst kind of headache for me. I have no other sinuses infection symptoms, doctor consultation tomorrow.
And my sinuses better get themselves together, I have BUSY November ahead :bang:
 
**I seriously do not want to monopolise this thread!*
There is a recruitment open for a position right in my alley.
But...across Atlantic.
And I keep asking myself if I'm ready for this kind of jump. Me, fearing everything, doubting everything, myself the hardest.
But my *toxic trait/quality* is that I probably wouldn't file my CV anyway because...
...
...
...the recruiting person is too handsome:laugh:
(yes, I'm laughing at myself too)

The fact that the recruiter is incredibly handsome doesn't mean you have to date them, lol! 😆 That just means you have to focus extra-hard on the qualities that qualify you for the position. 😉

Sometimes you have to take crazy risks to be confident in yourself. I had just gotten fired from a job in March and thought, "If I can't do anything else with my life, I might as well go see the World Championships." I had never been to Europe before, let alone France, and didn't know any French at all. When I was there, I could only connect to the internet with Wi-Fi and my Airbnb hostess was really annoying...and yet it was all worth it because I got to see my favorite skater win. 🥰

I used to be a very shy and unconfident person for a long time. I wasn't taking risks in life because I thought I had to make the right decisions all the time. I spent too much time being scared over whether my choices were right rather than just going for them. If you don't take a risk in life, you'll just be going "what if...?" all the time and regretting the decisions you didn't make. That's what I used to feel like... and I really want to live a life without regretting things anymore.

So go for that job across the ocean, see where it takes you!
 
I am awfully stressed out because in one week I am moving to a new city with six cats, one guy, and two small truckloads of stuff. :dbana: And it's not the moving part that is the worst - I've moved before, even between countries, but I always did it alone.
This time everything needs to be planned together, spoken about, and agreed upon and it makes the organizing so much harder. Plus, the cats will not be amused, and Christmas will probably go down with a lot of dreadful caterwauling in the background until the cats get settled in their new surroundings.

So please wish me strength, patience, and a little bit of spare time among the chaos to watch at least the men at GPF.
