Your honesty is refreshing.
10 years? Blimey.. yeah, I woudn't be surprised if you were due for a change then. I'd be looking at getting a good CV written and keeping my eyes peeled for any appealing jobs, and applying for the good ones that appear. As you have a steady career history, you'll be pretty appealing to employers, I'd think.. and as for moving and any other stuff, it's probably better to see them as smaller separate issues rather than lumping it all together as one massive thing. It'll be worth it, this sort of change is usually a good thing.D'you think so? The bullshit of applications and interviews are a necessary component of any changes I might be forced to make, if I want to be able to afford to live reasonably on my own. And I really have no idea where to start with that one, after ten years with the same employer. The other changes would obviously include moving, and there's other loose ends to be tied up. All while I try to relearn how to relearn how to be a human being, which is hard and often distressing work on its own. Too much, and very little reward in either the long or short-term.
So yeah, the scene is set for meltdown, but let's hope not.

(I should probably take my own advice really, as my life is a fucking mess.)
Ooh I hate that vaguely ominous feeling. And aye, it's one of my favourite words is looming :D Amethyst is my absolute favourite.
Good luck on that! I debated it but as you can see, it's not likely to go too well. Got a weakness for Polish lager and pay day looming. Maybe I'll give it a bash at New Year. Think nine months is the longest I've been off the booze since I was, ooooh, sixteen or so
Heh, I spend a lot of time wishing I were crewing yachts in the Pacific, so merchant vessel sounds quite appealing actually. Have you thought about asking work if you can take some sort of career break? That way you could take a few months off, go travelling/volunteering/etc and hopefully figure out what you'd enjoy doing. (I've got a lot out of doing voluntary work lately and it's helped me figure out what I'd like to be doing as paid work, anyway..)You're absolutely right, and I could work on a CV anytime. I just don't really know what I want to do, or have the option of doing! Last time this happened, I was not far at all from starting work on a merchant vessel. Yeah, I know. 8)
Yeah, it sucks. I think sometimes friends avoid this kind of talk because it unsettles them and reminds them that they hate their jobs/lifestyles/etc but are too scared to make changes.This sort of change is usually a good thing, yeah. Unfortunately, it unfailingly sends me crazy. Trying to get through to friends just how difficult things are is a just a non-starter - they have their own stuff to deal with, and it isn't easy for them, but it's just nigh-on impossible for me without a lot of support. Or a lot of booze and drugs. The latter being easier to come by.
I feel actually amazing and think I'm having the most lucky day ever. I have the best timetable in the world, my loan came through ok, and despite not getting a first or even a 2.1 knowing that if I'd bothered with that random module (unconnected to my actual fucking degree) at all then I would have got a actual first overall which must be super unusual is enough to make my already huge ego inflate to bursting point. Life is grand and yeah I'm fucked on coke already, celebrate my friends![]()

Didn't realize you'd been with the same employer for 10 years, time for a change indeed
Can we please stop talking about my fucking job already?
Alcohol really is the devil in disguise.

Ooooh I'd love to try that Polish lager (even though I don 't lagr n will have to be in November lol) what's it called? May see if they sell it in Tesco. I thought your Mrs had put a stop to that stuff as it strong lolor am I thinking of someone else?
That must be awful worrying she 'll get hurt but I'm sure she 'll be ok. She's probably been trained to do
The job n it's probably second nature to her now (if she's done it awhile). But I think she's glad you care n wouldn 't want you worrying.
LoL at you sulking. Join the club. I can teach you how to have an Evetrum, if you
Like?! JK :D i think it's cute n you both look ace n happy together. Really pleased for you as you're lovely n deserve happiness.
