Yep, feels good that’s for sure!

Well hello there! How’s things?

yeah I did but they ended up pulling the pin on it. Happens all the time. There’s a few more that I’m waiting for feedback on. Some government agencies can’t seem to get their shit together.

Hi guys! Just letting you all know I’m still here and I’m going ok. No depressive episodes lately - yay me! Still busy with study & looking for work but I’ll try and check in more often.

It is. My cousin is in the Army and is one of the 182 officers being deployed to Afghanistan. He leaves tomorrow.

Agreed. It kills me every time I think about that interview I had for the role I was doing at the time (back at Council). I take pride in the work I do and knowing that wasn’t considered definitely has made me rethink my working priorities. I hate not working, but I’ve lost all motivation to find something as perfect as that role.

Thanks Joe. It’s certainly not fun, she’s quite lucky this time. The hospital stint wasn’t as long.

Feeling quite numb. What do you say to someone you’re not going to see for 8 months? You have to make it count cause there’s the tiniest of possibilities you’ll never see them again. All I could come up with was ‘See you next year, be careful’. This feeling sucks.

Trying to have a productive career and staying out of the office politics is half the battle.

Sometimes you have to be a dick though.
