    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.

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

    Peace and quiet, and some good nights of sleep.

    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.

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

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

        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.
