Am Not Coping

That is not good re the chemist @Former-Member Hope you get that sorted quickly tomorrow but such a pain having to go back. I don't have to do my weekly pickups anymore and that is a huge deal for me.

You have signed up for a week to a gym - go you. I can't wait until my pool is open again in normal times as I really miss that - but they are only open until 11.30am at the moment and that is too early for me. I want to get into the routine of going after work to relax but they don't open again that late for another week.

I need to get back into some routines as well before work goes back and the reduction of one of my night meds was supposed to help with that with me nt being so tired in the morning - so far that hasn't happened!

Hi @Former-Member Hope you get some rest

..sounds good @Zoe7 posted here before but hot as hades, 45, had sickie, well for survival sake not sure what could have done at work.. anyway just had a nap and now there's a thunderstorm so hopefully that brings the temperature down a bit, today at least

Medication issues are always frustrating @Former-Member@Zoe7

Whole family is at the Big Smoke in a theatre - we’re waiting to see The Illusionists- do you think The Mentalist might cure me?!

@TAB @MDT@eth

yes @Sam3 lol

haha @Sam3 I suppose anything is worth a try

@TAB That is so hot - no wonder you didn't want to work - that kind of temperature is unbearable on it's own. Hope the temp decreases for you - I don't know how you cope in that kind of heat

well I dont know how i got through yesterday when it was 39 re working in an even hotter place with mask on except on breaks, handrails on stairs almost too hot to touch. Smelter furnace area. I'm 56, have a uni degree. I'm mad. anyway now not smoking, well that probably ate up $20k pa before tax time to consider lower paid easier work again. Like in a library or something just started pouring down here. And.just this second got a txt telling me not to go there tomorrow .. hmm guessing that means dont go back altogther. Could have done with the money, but it had to be on my terms re heat etc oh well, will ring work and see whats going on, whether going back there or not

Ringing is probably a good idea - then you will know where you stand @TAB

I hope the temperatire is dropping with the rain.

It sounds like you need to look for something less dirty and hot - I have always thought a nice quiet library job would be perfect too

I will be re ringing, or may even make a personal appearance lol yeah my tools are still there, well they are at this stage. yes, was only a year or so ago when last wondered re library eg, pay wasnt brilliant but there were location incentives for being here and that would probably be a good way to 'get in' because of location. would require training tho and that's not transferable to anything else if cant get work, been telling self want to do certIV TAE dunno, got to find something else @Zoe7

It certainly seems like you need to look for something different @TAB A Cert IV would be a good start - any idea what you would do it in?
