anyway, thats made me feel better.
wont bring it up again.
Thats way you work through it, work out what you did and why, and if theres anything you can do to make it better. Or distract yourself so you dont end up going mad over it.
chin up.
you wanna sound off, feel free to message me
I can assosicate with that at least.
Hope you're alright
I really think I need to leave here. I can tell that I'm not really welcome here anymore, and I don't think its doing me any good.
I'm just so utterly fed up. I spent all that time and money and energy getting better, for this? My shitey job, my shitey wages, my shitey social life. The only thing keeping me going is that I'm always too knackered to think about it.
Why do you think that?
come on stay, you help lots of people.
If you're not enjoying posting on here then I reckon you should take a break. Even if it's just a week.
This place does get to you. All internet forums do. But you can't let the fuckers scare you off. You're one of the better posters on here. And if there are people hinting that you should leave, I'd hazard a guess that they're seated quite firmly in the moron section.
You are welcome here. Every bugger is. That's how this place works.
Well you can come across a bit blunt and rude, like i can, but you're a very intelligent person. You have a wide range of life skills and social knowledge, especially in conjuction with GWST. You make some very interesting and thought provoking threads and you do have the courage of your convictions, which is really saying a lot these days.
I personally think this place would be for the worse without someone like you.
Indeed, especially when you give good advice and get slagged off in thanks for it.
How come? Your a god round here. Anyways, things will pick up, it's not a matter of getting better for having a shit job, would you rather be depressed and have a shitty job and social life or just have a shitty job and social life. I know which one I'd pick.
Hey ho.
I don't really believe in perfection, theres no real such thing but in a sense perfection is when you just want things done right and when they don't go right, you feel like absolute shit.
I wouldn't be so hard on yourself (its cheesy) but no body's perfect.
what degree did you study? (just out of interest)
I know that feeling. Kermy you can't leave, I simply won't allow it. ***huggles***
On a serious note, chin up its christmas
also, i know how it feels to feel like you're in a shit job when you're worth so much more. but alas that is life and when you're first starting out in your career it will take a while to work your way up and find a job that you know you are worth and also enjoy. and you will get there just keep your chin up
I did a law degree and got a 2.2, mostly because I had a nervous breakdown during my final year (one of many during my time at uni). It stops me going for most of the graduate jobs, but in reality I don't think I'd get a job like that anyway. Too many people are better than me.
It's strange how arrogance and insecurity look the same, isn't it?
Of course you have the right to feel frustrated and unhappy, everyone wants to better themselves, just some people don't feel they can or don't know how to go about it.
BTW, Merry Christmas, dude, and thanks for all the advice over the years *hug*
Which isn't always a bad thing.
Nah, when there are 50-60 applications for each position (as there are for the training contracts for the firm I work for) then it doesn't work like that. 2.2s go straight in the bin- why would they care about why I didn't get the 2.1 I should have done? Especially as the reasons show an inability to cope with pressure.
I wouldn't get them anyway and I'm not in the business of humiliating myself:)
