Night Shift

Morning everyone .... 💜🌷

Happy to walk through the baby steps with you @Decadian if you want to break it all down today and then post each ✅ as you achieve it ... maybe .... just look at the next thing in the list and nothing else until it's done .... then focus on the next one alone ..... helps me when inertia sets in ....

@TAB

Sorry if it's an obvious question .... but how are the temping agencies in the big city area at the moment .... ? Are they flooded, out of FIFO reductions ? If not, it might be a way forward for you, and able to say "can't work xyz days cos have xyz appointments ....

Guessing family avoidance is high on the radar too, just from bits and pieces you've said across time .... maybe why you were headed for SA .... but maybe temping services there are in better shape ?

Dunno .... just trying to spread your options a little ... 💜 Good on ya .... working on the health focus as your primary goal .... but sounds like bigger smoke is gonna provide better for both purposes ....

Got a 5am text after a late night .... grrr .... but managed to drift off again for another hour and a half .... ✅ gonna get my walking shoes on next .... ✅

💜🌷

Hi @TAB

I have lived in Melbourne all my life - I haven't even been out of Australia

I think my favourite decade was the 60s - great music - I went to work and nightschool to study accountancy and was in the CMF - (Army Reserve) for a bit less than two years - and I was married and my first child was adopted at the end of 1969.

Possibly things have improved as far as I see it - as I have watched the gradual emancipation of women - though we still have a long way to go -

But the world changed forever with 9/11 - I have noticed how much more complicated it is to travel - and how the news bears stories of fearsome things to enforce fear -

The good news - most people go on with their lives in spite of or because of the changes

Hi @Faith-and-Hope ..generally fifo out of Perth means Pilbara, I avoid that in the best of health, well this time of year anyway. companies tend to want their ;pound of flesh' as in you take what we give you when we give it and if you don't take it it's a black mark ..

Family is SA and yes, re avoiding them. Not sure what I was thinking re saying going back there, very limited work options also.

May be career diversion/change time. Plenty foreign workers happy to work here ..under conditions that are ..foreign ..to me ..haha

Thanks for feedback/suggestions, they are worthwhile and appreciated.

well I offered re breakfast .. @Former-Member wow sounds tough re physical labouring .. got a sweat rag here if'n you want to borrow it lol yeah, I was in bed so early after yest, was up 2am der lol, back to normal tonight tho re sleep haha

Meant temping local to Perth area @TAB .... through an agency ....

Or would you consider doing "handyman" Mr Fixit work .... sorta Jim's mowing or something .... where you choose your days and hours. Just a thought ....

🌷💜

Thanks @Former-Member and @Faith-and-Hope

I have one of those lists - like

Get dressed

Have a very sweet coffee

Arrange flowers for cousin

Go to shops and mail ballot papers and get a news paper

Ring my uncle do things between posts - that makes it easier

I have been telling myself to get some new clothes for ages - but the weather does not impress me - I can walk to a wholesale place not far from me or get a taxi to the shopping mall - whichever - I think that will happen tomorrow

It was raining when I woke up at .6.30 and then again at around 9.00 and the sun was brilliant and now it is getting cloudy again - I am not impressed

Getting dressed is the hard part - what to wear? What to wear?

Dec

Aw - whatever

I knew I saved this for a reason
