Random Rants LX: I wish to register a complaint

[JohannaK]

We are here for you hobbs. What little help we might be, we want to be.

 

[bhavv]

The phonecall I was left yesterday was not for a work placement, but just to ask me to sign a form for my course next week.

Blah.

3 more days of slave labour, then a weeklong course, and then back to unemployment.

 

[Borachio]

And now I'm losing my ****

Well, there you go. Just one more heave-oh and you'll be there, I think.

And anyone who spends 8 years getting themselves out of the hole of high-school dropout-ery can hardly be a worthless person with no resources, now can they?

But get all the help with this problem that you can. I think you owe it to yourself and everyone around you.

-----------------------------------------------

There does seem to be a lot of depression about just lately, though. Maybe it's something to do with the lunar eclipse.

Once again my vote had no impact on the election result, and I remain unrepresented in any level of government.

Also: I may just be talking nonsense right now, but you could perhaps keep on reminding yourself of your success up to this point, Hobbsyoyo.

 

[Hygro]

but you could perhaps keep on reminding yourself of your success up to this point,

Hm, I'm going to take that advice.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I feel a lot better now that I got that off my chest, really I needed to vent.

I've been on this roller coaster before so I know that although I'm feeling better today, that doesn't mean I'm 'fixed' for lack of a better word. I know I have to work at it and I need to tell my wife what's going on. But you guys helped me in a really bad spot and I thank you for it.

 

[Takhisis]

We're still here for you. But this is a reprieve, a temporary solution, you need to work on more permanent ones. Now go to class!

 

[NovaKart]

I'm sorry NovaKart you're stuck in a spiral too and I hope you can get help. I hope there is someone in your life you can talk to. After you get some sleep!

I was being a bit melodramatic earlier. I have some problems with my job and feeling like there's no security and I really want to do something else and that's a big part of the problem.

 

[Takhisis]

And you're in a wartorn country which is always hard and keeps a background level of stress that slowly acumulates. Wanna take a turn to vent yourself?

 

[Tee Kay]

Oh gosh Hobbs. Yeah, the burn-out. It's hard. It's nasty. I've been through it. Still going through it.

I'm doing my last two units this semester, but I was supposed to have finished this course two years ago.

But yeah people are here for you, and you've gotta push through.

Honestly? Reading the last couple pages have been rather encouraging. As in, "I'm not the only one who experienced this, there are others, I'm not a freak, this obstacle can be conquered".

 

[bhavv]

So one of my job advisors said that I would get a lot out of my current work placement.

All I got was incredibly painful feet. I am in much ouchies.

 

[NovaKart]

And you're in a wartorn country which is always hard and keeps a background level of stress that slowly acumulates. Wanna take a turn to vent yourself?

It's very easy to forget that here. A few friends of mine have emigrated to Europe so there's that and the economy is worse but it's pretty normal here otherwise. Maybe you could compare it to living in a big city with some really rough neighborhoods and some normal ones.

Actually when I said there's no security I guess that sounded like a comment on the situation here but I really meant it as no financial security. I was doing well but I was working at this place where they hired a director who was a sociopath (I believe anyway) and me and some other employees had a problem with him. I left there pretty secure but wasn't working this summer and spent a lot of money visiting family in the US and staying in hotels here and now very cash poor but I should be better at the end of the month inshallah.

I just feel like I'm making a mistake with my current employer and I'd like to do more freelance things like if I could get contracts to do lessons with companies or editing work. I think there might be a demand for that and I was offered a job with a media channel but the pay they were offering was atrocious. Sorry if it's tacky to talk about money but I mean, I couldn't live on that by a longshot.

I just don't really have the confidence to cold call companies and offer my services even though I had business cards made. I just start to feel like I don't look professional or I'll come across as a moron. I even thought of passing out my card in the park or putting up flyers but I just felt really awkward about it and couldn't do it.

 

[Lohrenswald]

As I was browsing cfc the other day at university, a fellow student said "are you on the civ forum?"

I'm nervous about that, I've enjoyed keeping this seperate from all socialisation I have in real life

I don't think he's a regular here either way, but

 

[gay_Aleks]

hey are you on the civ forum debating about immigrants

 

[Arakhor]

Is the king Harald? Is Bulgaria remote?

 

[gay_Aleks]

right next to Poland

 

[Arakhor]

So, very?

 

[gay_Aleks]

I don't know. Teams of crack geographers are still looking for Poland. I think it's just behind this giant Terra Incognita.

 

[JohannaK]

Havent you heard of the Turko-Polish border tension?

 

[azzaman333]

Got smashed at indoor soccer so I'm going to get smashed tonight. As they say, any excuse will do.
