  • I haven’t learned full OLL either, missing all the dot cases and some of the weird cases. I think I have full PLL but sometimes, if I don’t cube for a few weeks, I forget some and have to relearn haha

    I can plan a cross but I cannot track the first pair. Just can’t wrap my mind around x-cross. So I’m just trying to get better at look ahead these days.

    Yeah, definitely something to be proud of! I think as long as I keep improving, even in the littlest ways, I’d be happy




  • I finally got a PB Ao5 after what feels like years!

  • Australia (Sydney). A few years ago I went and there was a queue going outside the door and volunteers were telling people that it would take 30-45 minutes but to please stay in line. They were also handing out Tim Tams for people in line. I decided to try another polling station instead, which was 10-15 minutes walk away. There was no queue at all there so I was out within a couple minutes. So that one took the longest even though most of it was walking to another location. Wish there was a way to tell the people in that queue that other locations were empty.



  • I started a new job at a nice-ish office, next to a pretty fancy mall. On my 3rd day, my colleagues invited me to lunch at the food court of the mall. A couple hours later, I started getting nauseous and sweaty. Had to rush to the bathroom a couple times, which looking back I was lucky it was coming out of one end instead of two. After the 2nd time, I thought I’d chance it and rush home rather than having to go through another ~2 hours of this at the office. Luckily I lived close to the office back then so I was able to make it home. But in my rush I forgot to tell my manager, just told a coworker sitting near my desk I wasn’t feeling well and left. I emailed my manager that night, telling him that I also wouldn’t be able to make it in the next day. So my very first week at this job, I was only there for 2.5 days before getting sick for 1.5 days. Not the best first impression.

    I didn’t know until much later, but my manager told me that he thought I hated the job and was about to quit after a couple days.
