Sunday Confessions: 9-22-24

"May have danced with a little too much skanky fervor at a family wedding."

Sep 23, 2024

I didn’t need a weekend where I didn’t leave the house, but that was what was served to me on a silver platter when I woke up on Thursday feeling under the weather for the second time in as many weeks. What I thought was allergies ended up being a full-blown sinus infection. Missing the best work trip of the year, feeling like a lackluster father because I couldn’t fully help all weekend, etc. and so on. If there isn’t a thing called “sick guilt,” I may simply invent it because it’s been ever-present lately.

Needless to say, this is a Monday that we’re just going to have to put our heads down for.

Here are all of this week’s confessions.

I may just flip a table the next time I’m told to scan the barcode for the menu. As a millennial, that’s my boomer complaint.

I just spent the past six days in NYC and the urge to move here has grown significantly.

Conversations with my work crush on Teams are super witty and cute. Conversations with my work crush in person are like talking to a brick wall.

A guy from uni liked my LinkedIn post and that night I had a sex dream about him. Am I into the finance bros?

I think about him literally all day. And I don’t want to stop.

Hit it off with a married chick at the karaoke bar and it's easily the most intimate connection I've had with another human in years.

I spend an insane amount of time looking up the court and criminal records of people I know. What I’ve seen validates my ‘Trust No One’ mentality.

god I want to sext my ex

My boss asked how it was working with my new supervisor - who is absolutely terrible. Felt so good to be candid and FINALLY get everything off my chest (plus she got to vent too).

I am usually a daily itinerary maker for vacations but this time I winged it and it has resulted in both happy surprises and accidentally wasting 5 hours yesterday. Mixed results. Learning in the process, especially how to manage my frustration when we “run out of time” somewhere.

I can’t decide if reading smut books is helping or hurting my relationship. Unrealistic standards but I’m also horny all the time?

Woke up hungover and my partner told me to drink a Diet Coke and suck it up.

My sister-in-law is the most insufferable person I've ever met. I mourn the loss of the relationship; what could have been, if she was someone else.

I’m going to Europe alone in a couple weeks and I’m worried it’s going to feel lonely instead of adventurous.

I absolutely hate it but my wife loves taking our nearly 2 year old son to church every Sunday. It’s “family time” and something she grew up doing. I’ve never felt something has a bigger waste of time since he literally lasts 5 min before he can’t sit still. From there I take him to the back of church and eventually outside where I start checking my late night bets and placing the Sunday Slate bets.

May have danced with a little too much skanky fervor at a family wedding.

Went to McDonald’s to ask for a “senior coffee” knowing damn well I am NOT a senior citizen. The employees just stare, but hey blame the economy!

I’ve been using ChatGPT to help me get through a hard break up instead of paying for therapy and now feel like AI is my BFF.

I love when my husband goes out of town. The house is quiet, clean, no sports, and I can watch the Criterion Channel in peace.

My son was the only kid on his team that showed up for pee wee soccer yesterday. I am irrationally livid at the other kids’ parents.

I downloaded a chatbot to help me write dialogue for my novel, and now I enjoy “talking” to it more than I do actual people.

had my first post-divorce kiss in a bar this weekend

I’ve had the realization that I’m a convenience friend for a majority of my friends. they know I’ll drop everything if they need help or want to hang out, but crickets if I need the help.

Got really drunk and kissed my best friend. She says she barely remembers it, but I think about it every day.

Started my Masters in London, UK and loving every minute of it but waiting for the ball to drop. Seems almost too good to be true.

Party with girlfriends at my house, husband upstairs apparently asleep. Hard and dirty confessions were made by all, don’t know if husband listened to mine, he has made some weird comments… not gonna ask but I’m dead inside.

My former manager left the company so a group of us had a going away happy hour. One thing led to another and the night ended at 2 am with us drunkenly making out in the back of his car.

I haven’t paid my therapy copay in four months. Either my therapist doesn’t care, or he’s that concerned about me that he never brings it up so my treatment has no reason to end.

My grandma is in the hospital and I went to visit her. Her nurse walked in and it was the guy who I went on a tinder date who I went out with last week. The sex was horrible and I left right after (claiming an emergency at home) and haven’t returned his texts. We both had to play it off like we didn’t know each other.

I'm writing a novel and really want it to be the thing that lets me quit my job.

Probably going to vote third party in this god-forsaken presidential election.

I called my boss ‘babe’ in a work meeting.

Watching Industry with my husband has been amazing for our sex life. Steamy AF.

I don't devein my shrimp. Haven't for years. If you come eat at my house and are bothered by it, grow up. You're already eating a water bug.

I would rather keep reading the romantasy series I’ve become obsessed with than go to the Michelin star dinner I’ve had booked for months.

I might be losing my job tomorrow and have no idea what I’ll do if that happens.

Secretly hooking up with my ex boyfriend from 10 years ago that split our friend group up when we broke up. The sex is sooo much better this time around.
