So I quit. My mental health is more important, even if it might take me longer to get where I want to go.
I'm kind of okay with this. It takes a special kind of person to sit tied to a phone and PC for 8-12 hours a day, and it's okay that I can't do that anymore.
You had to make the right move for yourself. I see the people who do customer service here and I couldn't do it. The day is too structured and rigid for me, and people don't realise how exhausting being on the phone can be. You've done an amazing job sticking it out for as long as you have

It actually works out for me because I was intending to buy that exact model of vacuum cleaner. It's going to be half actual vacuum and half toy for the kids.

Another day of begging for work and being ignored.
I have a final interview and 2 firsts tomorrow.
Edit: spent 4 hours with nothing to do so I watched YouTube.

Apparently my iron and vitamin D levels are now normal. But my naughty cholesterol levels are too high. Prescription: fish. Oily fish. or fish oil.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 197d
Just had my bloods done and everything is fine (sugar and cholesterol especially) but iron is a bit low.
More spinach and legumes I guess (also GP sent a referral for an abdominal ulstrasound just in case)
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 197d
Maltopher iron pills are much nicer on the gut than Ferrograd if you try them. Spend the few bucks more on the Maltopher.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 197d
Thanks for the advice. I'll grab some this weekend.

I've got an abdominal ultrasound too! They were booked up until the end of March, so I guess they are trendy at the moment
MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 197d
Still unsure when mine is, referral only sent today. I had a gastro and colonoscopy last year, so not too concerned.

I feel HBC is one of those people who always plays themselves.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 197d
I think you're right. She is completely unable to change mannerisms or speech patterns.
even so, imo the problem with the movie was the story.

I cannot see the Moon with cloud cover, and it is compounding the feeling of not being where I am meant to be.
The skies cleared! Taking this as a message that good things take time, including where I need to be.

Got a new phone I'm setting up. I didn't intend on getting a new phone now but Xiaomi had this deal where you could get one of their hadnheld vacuum cleaners for $1 if you bought the phone so I bit the bullet.
It actually works out for me because I was intending to buy that exact model of vacuum cleaner. It's going to be half actual vacuum and half toy for the kids.
