A Lovely 10C Site!

@matigo I was offered a longer term contract but I had to turn it down for many reasons. It was in a northside location that was hard to get to¹, the regular working hours and money were also factors in my decision. There’s no such thing as a ‘permanent’ job anymore. And yes, job hunting can be quite stressful, however this seems to be the only stint where I’ve had interviews every week so I guess I got lucky this time.

1. I don’t drive or have my licence/own transport so I’m quite reliant on public transport.

@matigo Ahh, we have them too. The Summer Roll is mostly nougat inside with coconut on the outside. The Bounty has the coconut on the inside. And yes, they’re still around. I wonder if I should add them to my stash too … mmmm! 🍫

@33mhz it’s been a tough road, that’s for sure. This contract may potentially last until either the end of November or the end of March.

@matigo haha, is this enough for you?? Latest additions to my stash.

Well, I have some good news to share and have finally found a reason to celebrate and be happy. My reign of unemployment is officially over, after just over a month. I accepted a job offer for a finance officer in a government department. I start this coming Monday :)

@hazardwarning It’s no wonder we all get on so well 😁

@matigo Yeah, I think so. I did one of those tests around this time last year and that’s what came out of it.

@sumudu There’s a channel on YouTube called Psych2Go. Just learning how the introverted mind really works and how to better deal with situations of trauma. I also stumbled on some videos relating to being a HSP¹. I believe that could be part of the reason why I get so emotionally reactive to situations sometimes. I’m also doing some research into whether there are any anxiety support groups around my area. I’m also considering seeing a new GP about my mental health, something I haven’t done for a long time. All part of the self healing process I guess.

1. highly sensitive person

@matigo Yeah, it is. It’s a pity I wasn’t doing this for myself earlier. I would probably still have my job, but that’s hindsight talking now. At least I’m putting my forced break to good use though.

@matigo indeed they are. I’ve been watching some psychology videos & TED talks on YouTube, learning about my inner self and how to deal with certain situations. It’s been quite eye opening.
