Re: not coping

It's nice to hear that you have been helping new members @outlander but please remember to make time for yourself.

You seem to be going at 100% at the moment with everything going on in your life. I'm glad all your hard work is paying off. A job interview sounds promising hon. Hopefully you can get your assignments done soon.

Re: not coping

@Snowie oh yes 100% at the moment but if i can get this to work out then it will make my work life so much better and i can start branching out more. hopefully next year i can look into more permanent stuff and get my own house witha work colleague whose already lined up with me to look hopefully by the end of the year

You have worked so hard up until now. Getting your own house sounds like such an exciting endeavor.

Re: not coping

i quite like night shifts but usually she only gives one night shift and then switches to other shifts so its not consistent sleep. usually i just stay up all day after night shift and then sleep earlier in the night so means im up usually more then 24hrs straight @Snowie

Re: not coping

it gets tiring @Snowie but i guess its work at least. when i get things sorted at home i can do more work in the day times but more regular instead of having to rely on everyone else as to when i can work

Re: not coping

im really starting to doubt myself and whether this new job might be right but im so fearful.
im fearful and anxious maybe its not the job its just that im going to be really out of my comfort zone
i feel like im over estimating myself but i dont know.
