I guess I wanted someone else to know as well

Kid, I'd suppose it would help me as well, but the psychologist said there's no time to start it because I'm moving so quickly. I mean no time to even consider it, to which I said fine and I understand that it's not possible. So I'm trying to work this out, but I'm running out of time because I'm supposed to move soon.

I disagree with him. When I started going to a support group it helped me immediately.

Anyway, moving can be good too. I felt a lot better after I moved. I haven't joined a new support group yet btw. But I've thought about it a lot just so that I can stay feeling good.

My advice

Imagine you are in prison, and that you will get out of prison the die you take the airplane to Atlanta

Get a Calendar, and mark with a cross every passing day

[Pekka]

I'd like that but it just sucks you know... it sucks to be afraid losing your job every other week with a new reason every time. It sucks so bad, this is my dream you know? I didn't sacrifice things for nothing, this has to work because at the moment it's all I've got and that statement includes my health.

Now, I have to believe it'll be OK. The problem is if this thing falls through and on Monday I'll here more about it, even the trip might be cancelled. I mean... because then there's no project. I mean I've already resigned my apartment for this very reason. It is depressing to think.. I mean I know how bad it gets sometimes, so to think that I hit that again but with a new bonus, no home and no money anyway, no job and lost my dream as well. I don't even know what to think at that point. I'm going to be direct and honest, I have written down a note with numbers and addresses of these treatment places in here, and if **** hits the fan, I think it'll feel unreal but at that moment I can still walk, so I have programmed it into my head to say "go where the note says" over and over and over again. I don't know how much I'd have, but I figure at least 30 minutes.

I suggest another solution:



mmmm....

[Pekka]

Darius, I suggest you don't suggest anymore.

Anyways, it seems like this job is under attack at all times. Today new problems, today, some folks got basically outsourced. Well, who was it outsourced to, the remaining people. Huge tasks and responsibilities were like you do this you do this, full time jobs almost on top of everything. My co-worker simply said, that if she has to take that one as well on top of this,she quits. If she quits, I'm out of a job. Cool stuff.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

It's just a job, Pekka boy.

There is always a new oppurtunity when things don't go to plan.

You've head of the saying "Throwing good money after bad"

Be wary of "Throwing good time after bad". All of your time in this life is wonderful and precious, you can do so much with your time. But if you're throwing good time after bad, the results will be the same as throwing good money after bad, it disappears into a suck-hole.

I approve of people following their dreams, and I encourage it.
But I approve of and encourage this for ONE reason.
It's so they come to understand, that there is no lasting happiness to be found in having your dream job... then they know for sure, with confidence, that they can stop looking for happiness out there.

Some lessons you just gotta learn the hard way. And "dreams" is one of them.

Sounds rough. If there's anything we can do to help, ask. For example I can pray for you and DaShi can donate money via PayPal.

I know that I don't always see eye to eye with you on matters of "faith", but that really does sum things up, especially for me. Since I was a little kid I wanted to be a scientist, and I got the the PhD level and realised that it really wasn't for me and I hated it.

So I've had to rediscover what I want to do with my life from being out in the wilderness, not having a clue what I wanted to do. And here I am now...getting there! Of course there are still going to be frustrations, life is not about taking the easy options. This new job is going to be a challenge. Quite a challenge. It has been a slow start so far (although it is probably a bit of a contrast to being run off my feet) but I know this will never last I have a lot of stuff to learn and pick up, but I also bring valuable knowledge and experience too. Combine the two, relish the challenges. And I do have this knack of soaking up stuff like a sponge

[VetLegion]

PH, I enjoy seeing you in high spirits
See if you can transfer some of that to Pekka?
