Popular Post gwarrior Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 Apparently I've been raising red flags at work. Co workers in my department are concerned about me. I admit to being a weird guy, but I'm acting weird for me. So, it was suggested to me that I take the rest of the day off, and take time off and come back next Thursday. With my grandma passing back in december, and my aunt not leaving anyone alone because she wants the inheritance. I was told "take the week off, we need you to decompress, and try to get back the where both you, and we need you to be". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arrogant Worms Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Some stuff my son brought back from Bellingham for me.. Wendy's Chili was OK...nothing like you get at the restaurant. Tim's Chiips are hot lol. The Bold Chex Mix are awesome.. brought me back 3 bags...that is the last one. The beer is already gone.

Cerridwen Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I confess that I'm a little nervous about running my first 5K in years since I broke my foot. It's a St Patricks Day run and but figured 5K was worth it for the reward of green beer when I finish! Also.... Patron Silver Tequila and Earl Grey Tea (Think London Fog) frosting on a cake are a most delightful combination! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not need surgery but was told not to run anymore. By the specialist. It still acts up from time to time. I used to run 5 miles every every 2nd day.

I cringed when I read the Achilles tear news and one just simply does not argue with a specialist unless you're ready for the consequences! And it's adding insult to the injury of not being able to run anymore for it to act up periodically. I used to run pretty much every day...but never quite made it to an ultra-marathon. I just cheer-lead for those insane peeps! I have just never trusted my left foot since I broke it.. can't seem to get past the placement part lest I roll it over to the outside even though it has healed up very well. Have tried different running shoes and everything but it's not so much a foot problem, I think, but a memory of what the break sounded like from INSIDE my ears! I may not be up at the front of the pack but hey, GREEN BEER!! Edited March 9 by Cerridwen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OldFaithfulcap Posted March 11 Popular Post Share Posted March 11 (edited) I'm still doing ok, good and bad. Work's been busy, just lagging nagging things and false red alerts by people who don't read emails. Haven't felt ultra motivated but hoping to finish a lot of things early this week. I've managed to keep to my 100 words a day minimum writing task and it's an enjoyable escape. Just over 18,000 words of my own fictional novel and hitting the scene that inspired the idea. Need to stop to go back and edit again soon, but i think it'll be about 50,000 words so about 300 pages. Not writing for anything more than me, as i've had this 3-book idea in my head. Things have been slightly better at home, my kid is settled at college thankfully and in a better headspace. My wife is still a bit too focused on other new friends, i'm glad she is doing things but it annoys me when i'm waiting for her because she's chatting to them - makes me feel less important which isn't great but then guilt comes in for the time i spend caring for my dog vs taking her out though she often forgets to ask if i want to go with her anymore. Communication is hard but we have chatted, just need to do a better job letting her know that at times i feel a bit like i'm second choice. It's hard being a high functioning depressive (bipolar is not my fave term) but little daily things help. if diesel is out there, i hope he's doing well. The cooking idea was fun but i guess it got too much. No shame in that and hope he returns. Edited March 11 by OldFaithfulcap 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I won't graduate til sometime next year but I'm honestly not looking forward to it, because that's when school ends and work life begins I'm not passionate about social work, but I've never been passionate about jobs or working in general, there's never been anything that's jumped out as something I avidly want to do At this point I question whether I want to do social work at all, or whether graduating will mean I'm actually qualified to do so, or whether I'll just end up using my schooling to open other doors The doubts and uncertainly are bothersome, it's taken years of my life and a good amount of money to get to this point and I'm not even sure I want what I've signed up for anymore, I'll learn about this or that and think "well, learning about this just makes me not want to do it" It's been an ongoing thing I've mentioned to profs and classmates, I don't know what I want and I'm not sure whether I believe I can be effective at the role I've been pursuing either I've little interest in participating within the economic rat race but that's the world we live in, I have to make money Edited March 14 by Coconuts 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so . Part of it is that the more I learn about social work, the more heavy and significant it all seems, at the end of the day it's about individuals, groups, and their lives and that's not insignificant or something to take lightly I'm hoping that my fourth year practicum, and my work experience between now and then, will help ease some of my doubts I've spoken to people who are convinced I could be excellent in this field, and that it's a natural fit, but I suppose on some level I'm not sure I believe that myself On some level I'm also scared of having put so much into something and not being able to do it effectively, but most folks want to perform their roles effectively one way or another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought that, yeah And I'm not really sure, it depends on who's hiring for what tbh, that's my stock answer when folks ask what I want to do And you're not wrong, it being a generalist degree is part of why I chose to go this route in the first place, there is a lot you can do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
