A job. I got laid off. Things are getting tight.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

I was in your situation this time last year. I got laid off in July, hired in September, and let go again in October. 💜

Supervolcano eruption.

My family is not insane, a girl I really like has an insane family.. Wish i could go to my family events with her

[-] Anissem@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

If you stick with her, her insane family will become your insane family.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's easier when they are one ocean away, unfortunately I doubt it will work out for this reason

[-] Anissem@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

My wife and I both have insane families so at least it helps us understand each other

To not be homeless anymore.

On Tuesday November 19th, I had a stroke. My goal is to make it to next Christmas.

Peace and quiet, and some good nights of sleep.

Hate to add to the grumble but I’m not feeling it this year. I don’t really want more material things (boo!).

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Same. Everything feels unreal right now and it's hard to keep the mask on.

For me it’s all the stress at work around the holidays (work harder before/after) then being invited to a ton of social things (I work from home and I’m happy for the most part being alone all the time). I actually love my job too so it’s more annoying than anything that everyone is in la-la land while I’m just wanting to get stuff done.

I hate showing up like a clown and not connecting with anyone; it’s all so fucking corny. I guess that’s married life though.

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Many horror movies that I didn't watch around Halloween.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I’m traveling internationally to visit my fiancé and spend our first Christmas together. I just want the trip to go smoothly and take full advantage of the 120 PTO hours I’m burning without getting an urgent work call.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Basically just to have enough free time to make my cousin a 3d-printed version of this laser-guided pizza cutter as a joke gift.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately that's too much for santa

[-] Jourei@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Wish comes true as I make it so, heading north to cottage!

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Money? A job. My cat to be alive again.

Actual likely items, probably one game from steam that sibling buys me.

[-] klep@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Food. I'm making just enough to get my bills paid, but I've been eating ramen and Mac and cheese for around a year. I just want to be able to have food in the fridge/cupboard. It's getting so fucking tiring to never have basic necessities to work so fucking hard to keep my bank account in the negative. I'm so fucking depressed.

Now that I'm done venting, I would absolutely love to be able to get some gifts for my brothers and sisters but it just doesn't look like it'll be feasible this year.

[-] EM1sw@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Regarding food, is there a food bank nearby? There's no shame in going to one, they are often trying to get rid of surplus food before it goes bad.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

I like twizzlers

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

I have so much trouble with wishlists. The things I want are usually niche or expensive. I added an atomic wall clock and one of those boogie boards. I went ahead and added all the parts for a new computer I've been meaning to build for like 4 years lol. I'll just buy the remainder myself. I just got into ham radio but it seems tricky to find things that are relatively cheap to ask for on a wish list that aren't garbage.

Gift cards, books

[-] Krydex@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Honestly, nothing :/ Maybe money, but when it comes to anything material there's hardly anything I really desire

[-] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm hoping santa puts 36 piers under my house.

Two words: Horse. Testicles.

For every politician or TV pundit that has ever lied or misled the public in the direction of ignorance and hatred, I wish for them to receive a finely wrapped and bowed package containing nothing but horse testicles.

Don't let this just be a christmas tradition. For just £2 a month, you too can sponsor a politician to recieve a gift every single week. Think of the difference it would make.

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

Same as last year. Socks and whiskey.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Cast iron, tools, bicycle parts.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I mean, I would have been just fine with my brother getting me a gift card to a shop I like, but he says that's boring and how I should ask for something else. The best thing about the gift card to this shop is that it allows him not to worry about getting something I didn't want, even though I'm not super gift picky.

So, yeah, the gift card to that place, which sells everything from games (old, new, and related stuff) to anime/manga stuff to even just board games, is usually the only thing I ever can think of since I know I won't ever be disappointed.
