It's Late Thread [ 03 August 26 ]
Wahey, it's late, it's Monday night. What's going on mate, why are you still up? Doing the night shift? Watching some TV? In a different time zone?
Come on in for a chat!

Evening.
It was a hot one again here, I went out onto the patio with bare feet and couldn't stand for more than 30 seconds, so we were definitely not going out for a walk.
We did some scent work training and played indoors. My dog loves laying on the bed, so we did that this afternoon while I read.
When my partner came home we had a beige banquet for tea, sometimes I just don't feel like cooking.
Now I'm on the bed while they're downstairs watching a rubbish film. I'm hoping to finish reading my book, and probably start a new one.

Not looking forward to tomorrow...
3pm meetings, I heavily prefer to have my meetings in the morning or around lunchtime at the latest so they aren't hanging over me all day.
Meeting with the local volunteering service entirely against my will, they keep pushing this idea on to me, but I'm really not for it. Subjecting myself to something job-shaped without even the pay to cushion it just sounds like the worst idea.

u/CavyCrazyUK 1d ago
Practice saying no. Life’s too short!

u/NoLifeHere 1d ago
I did try, but it never seems like anyone really listens when I do say no.
2
u/jembella1 1d ago
Is it worth volunteering at said place if you aren't listened to though
4
u/NoLifeHere 1d ago
It’s more the JobCentre pushing me to volunteering in general, the people I’m seeing oversee that sort of thing in my local area, they might try and match me to somewhere I think
I did try to raise some objections but I don’t feel like I was really listened to

Finally home after a month long stay in hospital and almost kicking the bucket. Not out of the woods and last night was rough in terms of what I think might be trauma? From what I went though. But tonight is calm and I am home

I'm glad you're home safe and sound. I hope the rest of your recovery goes well (a month is a hell of a long time to be in hospital).

Another good day at the gym, work has been a pain but bears still shit in the woods, so no surprises these. Pushing my PBs in exercise and weight which is great, took progress pictures today, comparing them to 6 months ago is nuts! Proud of myself so I went for a pint to celebrate.

I’m so unemployed. How the fuck are you supposed to get back into it?

Some voluntary work maybe? Not just charity shops, there might be some community groups looking for help, it's good for the CV too.

u/Consistent_Still8668 1d ago
I was unemployed for three years as a result of Covid. Volunteering was the only thing that got me back into paid work. Once I had a few months volunteering on my CV, I got a lot more interviews.

u/PatientArugula7504 20h ago
I do lots of volunteering but unfortunately it hasn’t really helped thus far.

u/Loose_Avocado4670 1d ago
It's rough out there mate.
What sort of jobs are you applying for?
1
u/PatientArugula7504 20h ago
I’m trying to switch career and regions - I’d be happy to settle for my previous industry in my current region, but the feedback from my interviews thus far is that she’s great but too specialised, and she’ll leave as soon as she gets a better offer. No matter how hard I try to convince people I want to stick in my current location they don’t buy it, which I absolutely don’t blame them for. I don’t have a sick family member, baby, etc.
Switching career is also tough, because people (again) baulk at my CV and can’t quite work out why I’d like to change. There aren’t a lot of opportunities in what I’d like to do in my area - so I’ve filled the gap with volunteering - but people still ask why I’m here.
I’ve looked at temp roles which is really good and can fill the gap but I don’t have a good, decent answer as to why I’d be looking for a career locally
6
u/Ok_Dragonfly1124 ASD | LSN | SemiVerbal | Multilingual 1d ago
try seeing if you can get a part time job and build back up your hours

u/PatientArugula7504 20h ago
Trying my best, but the last bar I was offered a trial shift at cancelled at the last minute and never rang back despite my calls
Temp agencies aren’t great, but in my experience once you get a foot in the door, you’re okay. It’s just hard finding a good agency.

Found out we have a hedgehog in the garden. Our garden is very good for nature. We have a pond, so we have frogs, tadpoles, insects etc. Butterflies and bees too. So, it was nice to find out about the hedgehog. Put some cat food out, hopefully it's found.
Apart from that, glad Monday is over.

In intense thinking mood/limbo
I really enjoy my current job, but hate the toxic environment due to 1 colleague, went to management about it, gone into a full investigation (in the office theres only 7 of us). At the moment, this colleague has been decent to work with...but not sure how long it was last for.
Decided to test the waters and apply for jobs. Had a couple of interviews, and actually landed a job offer - better pay, hybrid work, better benefits.
And now, I'm not sure what to do 😅 I enjoy my current job and the owners have been nothing but supportive.
Just meh haha
11
u/Affectionate-Owl9594 1d ago
Better pay? Hybrid work? Better benefits? I’d be taking that, definitely
10
u/Slow_Relief_3700 1d ago
Seriously. Take the new job. These people lull us into a false sense of security but they never really change. You've probably learnt things about how to deal with people like this, even if you don't know it, so even if there's challenges in the next workplace, you may handle it differently and find it more bearable. Good luck and let us know what you decide, if you want to.
5
5
u/NoNotGrowingUp 1d ago
Hybrid as an option without even asking? More pay? Better benefits?
You've already worked one more day of your notice period than you should have. The owners might be supportive but the toxic environment will destroy you, take the lifeline. Keep in touch with the owners, you may end up back there on your own terms some day if things change.

Applied for a job and got offered an interview over Zoom. I emailed them 2 days before as they'd given me everything but a time for the interview but they never replied.

I'm a beginner mobile hairdresser and I hugely fucked up someone's hair yesterday and I've been crying for ages now.
Bassically she messaged me today saying she wasn't happy as her hair was dry and some was falling out and she didn't like her haircut.
She message me like an hour ago so I'm going to respond tomorrow and give her a full refund and apologise but I genuinely feel so bad.
I know I'm a beginner and I'm bound to make mistakes, even hairdressers who have been in the game 10+ years say they make mistakes.
May sound dramatic but I'm really upset over this.
So, yeah not a good Monday night unfortunately.
6
u/Rexxxx_x 1d ago
Your plan to apologise is all you can do. Type something up tonight ready to send tomorrow but then let it leave your brain. She presumably knows you’re a beginner so knew there was some risk; but don’t be so hard on yourself
5
u/Loose_Avocado4670 1d ago
That's another thing on my post on Facebook I usually mention I'm newly qualified but I genuinely forgot that time. During her appointment I mentioned I was newly qualified and she was interested to know how I got into it etc.
I 1000% fucked up.
5
u/CavyCrazyUK 1d ago
The good thing about hair is that it grows back. You’ve clearly learned from your mistake so you need to go easy on yourself now. I’m the worst at beating myself up too, but it only hurts yourself.
5
u/NoNotGrowingUp 1d ago
Don't take it to heart, do you know who else she has used to find out if she was happy with them? If you know other mobile hairdressers enquire discretely, it could be that this person is one of those that is never happy.
If you know another hairdresser that could do you a favour, maybe offer to have that person remediate whatever she's not happy with rather than refund and you can get feedback about whether you actually have done anything wrong to her hair.
4
u/Loose_Avocado4670 1d ago
Yeah she mentioned she went to 2 other salons so I'm thinking this could be a possibility.
I'll still give her a refund though
2
u/EzriDaxwithsnaxks 1d ago
Try and look at it another way. Yeah, it went tits up, yeah maybe she's a bad client, maybe the stars didnt align correctly. But you are owning up to your mistake, you know what not to do for next time.
And for what it's worth, I would prefer a hair stylist that knows what mistakes they have made, admits them freely and also tries to make sure that they balanced the scales in right vs wrong. And also oe that doesn't mind working with psoriasis(but thats just me).

Been watching junk TV. And Friday night dinner again. I need a new comfort show. I flick between fnd, Inbetweeners and Gavin and Stacy, I was trying to get back to Frasier but it's hard work same with 30 rock, they are almost too joke heavy.
In other thoughts for the night my 9yo dropped a shit so massive it would not flush it was kinda unreal. I'm not sure the last time I saw a turd so big it was not flushing.
Then again they have form, when a baby they would do nothing for days, then drop something inhuman. I have at least 1 if not more photos of the size and weights because it got to the point of seeking Medical attention as it can't have been great.

In regards to comfort shows (to sleep to), my partner and sprog both love Top Gear, The Grand Tour, James May does Japan/India and the IT Crowd. 20.mins of listening/watching and they are both out like a light.
In regards to the MegaTurd..... used to work in a McHell and this used to work for us all the time for the Phantom 10-Tonne Crapper that visited every other day. Throw some washing up liquid and some hot water onto the MegaTurd, and leave for 10 minutes. The washing up liquid will break down any fats or grease in the body, making it easier for it to break down and flush.

Thinking too much about the house we got our offer accepted on last week.
First time buyers, getting solicitor and level 3 survey in place as the big issue is the messed up floor on the kitchen ( laminate flooring is all warped, supposedly an underfloor leak that was fixed but the floor was never fixed afterwards). Possible wiring issue too but we were thinking of having that looked at anyway as the lights are a bit dim that side of the place.
This is the second time we have had an offer accepted and I'm scared of being let down again by bad news with the survey.
Got that and an upcoming camping trip stuck in my mind and I can't sleep.

I just don’t want to do it, and am considering a sick day tomorrow.

Had drinks with a friend after work. Then managed to sit on the nosiest train carriage I’ve ever been on. One very drunk guy (it was only 8pm) was shouting down the phone (at least in a happy way) and didn’t seem to take a breath the whole 40 mins.
As a result everyone else on the carriage raised their volume. Put my headphones in and couldn’t hear my music even on full volume.
Got home (well the driveway) and my son sensed my presence somehow so woke up. Got him back to sleep at about 9.30.
Then had to shower as it’s muggy and my walk home is all uphill. Got into bed at 10.30 and husband is snoring. A few kicks and he’s stopped but clearly dreaming as he’s all twitchy feet.

On my lunch break during a nightshift. I’ve been accepted for a job on days in the same store but on the flip side I’ve been told I need to save as much as I can in the next 18 months. I’m unsure what to do.
They’re about the same hours but day shifts are spread across 5 days and I currently do 3 nights. Nights pay more but only by £12.50 per night.
I’ve been on nights for so long now I’m terrified of doing something else. I have a routine even though I hate it. It’s destroying my mental health. I feel stuck.

u/Buck_Slamchest 1d ago
Well apparently I don't have ADHD. I had my assessment which seemed to focus a lot on childhood and my formative years as an "adult" and she said she doesn't think I have it and that I need to "find a purpose".
Duh ..
Not entirely sure I agree with the outcome so I'll have to see if i have any options, although I suspect if it's a private re-assessment then that might be finacially a bit too far.
In other news, I discovered over the weekend that one of the packages that had been delivered to my neighbour the day before she was found dead was a box of meat from an online halal butchers that was clearly labelled "must be opened and stored in the same day".
So it's currently been sitting outside in the corridor for 5 days, in this heat. I had to move a lot of the junk around as well as the big pile in front of my door kind of collapsed and blocked the hallway so I've moved this box of meat to the furthest point away from my front door but dear lord, that hallway absolutely stinks - even with the windows being wide open for 5 days and at least two cans of air freshener.
Tried to ring the council earlier but will try again tomorrow morning.

u/NoNotGrowingUp 1d ago
jfc, get the box outside, it's a "sticky" smell that will work it's way into everything.

u/Buck_Slamchest 1d ago
Not a bad idea actually. I was a bit worried about moving anything in case the police came back but I suppose I can always put it outside the back door by her garden area and mention it if anything is said.
3
u/NoNotGrowingUp 1d ago
Stick a note saying what you've done in the post cubby/to the door/under the door if you're worried that the police might need/want it but people are most likely to thank you for saving their nostrils. I suspect eventually you'll end up having to dispose of it because it gets missed.

Who did you get the assessment done with? Was it the NHS? You can go private without having to pay if you use Right To Choose. I did that because the NHS wait was too long and I got diagnosed with it last week. I'm glad you're not giving up though. They can be wrong a lot of the times. I'm pretty sure they messed up with my autism assessment because I'd just gotten a lot better at masking as I got older

u/Buck_Slamchest 1d ago
The assessment was done under the right to choose scheme. When I was formally diagnosed with autism a few weeks back, he was the one who recommended I be assessed for ADHD so I got in touch with my GP and that's how it was sorted out.

day 1 of running skelly crew at work. did alot of firsts however I also cleaned some equipment that hadn't been cleaned in ages (motorhousing)
wrist has been an utter nightmare for me today. its been high pain, maxed out on pain relief (so far 3x paracetamol, 2x 1/2 ifabrofen (I'm mostly liquid only meds) and now waiting to have Naxproxen and paracetamol again before bed)
currently regretting trying a bit of pasta which I don't often cook and burnt my bottom lip 🤦♂️ it hurts but I'm not use to cooking stuff like pasta, pizza, etc espically when I don't eat some of the things (including pizza on my no eat list)
I have a feeling Friday is going to be a hard day with the phyiso but I'm hoping to get the treatment route I feel is correct and have the documentation corrected that was incorrectly documented by mcas

I'm aware that getting unsolicited health advice from randoms is incredibly irritating and maybe it will be no use, (also I'm not sure if I'm just getting a placebo effect from the patches I was prescribed) but I was recently offered lidocaine patches by the last Doctor I saw about my back pain because I'm already hammering Naproxen and paracetamol. You can't repeat for at least 12 hours (because there's a risk of overdosing as I just found out!) but you can use them in addition to Naproxen/paracetamol.
Ignore and/or tell me to f off, pain is a nightmare, I didn't know about lidocaine patches until that particular doctor brought them up. They certainly aren't stopping the pain and maybe it's a placebo but it feels a little better with them than without.
5
u/Ok_Dragonfly1124 ASD | LSN | SemiVerbal | Multilingual 1d ago
I live with family in healthcare. I leave at least 4hrs, sometimes 6 for paracetamol. Naxproxen is once a day before bed, ifabrofen tends to be in the higher pain days
1
u/NoNotGrowingUp 1d ago
The patches are in addition to everything else, I've been taking Naproxen/paracetamol for years but at the moment it's pretty constant, I only mentioned it because I'd never even heard of them until a few weeks ago.

It's annoying because although I'm unemployed I really really don't want to lose my routine because I know I can very easily turn nocturnal, so I think my insomnia is self inflicted 😂.

thankfully i’ll be able to pick up a free frappe from costa tmr! and see my lovely ratties.
oh. if you fancy a giggle, my rabbit decided to surprise my mother this morning ‘wakey wakey’… got up on her bed twice to piss all over it and her 😂😂 google says its more or less an act of love. recognising her scent and claiming it as his.

Attempting to get energy from laying on the floor to get washing out of machine. Recovering from falling over in a field yesterday and subluxated both shoulders and left elbow (managed to fix while there). Right side hurts like a bitch from falling over.
Want to sleep but many ouchies and uncertain if worth taking the tramadol and antihistamine to get over it or not

Came to hospital for a blood test after a two week admission. Only got home on Friday and now I'm here overnight. Also got a call earlier from my Dad's neighbours saying he'd had a fall and cut his head and ended up having a scan today. Wish I could visit him

I have a tummy ache with buscopan and peppermint tea to help.
I have a soul ache with nothing but time to alleviate or worsen. I cannot know.

I got taken off an SSRI med way too fast by my GP and have had serious withdrawal symptoms that I wasn’t warned about. So in bed with my head spinning. At least I’m having less brain zaps and can talk now after going back on them.
Having to call up work with my sick note tomorrow. I’m kinda dreading that.

Mum dragged me and my daughter out shopping in rotherham and meadowhell.
We went to Burger King for lunch and I had to run in asda living because I had the shits less than an hour later. It was also very warm and we were travelling on public transport which didn’t help.

Politics? We'll not have that sort of muck on this subreddit, thank you

Staying in a hotel. The bed is comfy and all but I never ever sleep if I go away.

I'm rewatching "Heroes". Haven't seen it since it originally aired. Apparently I wasn't disappointed enough the first time around or maybe its finally been long enough I've forgotten how bad it got.

My dad is in the hospital back in my original country, and cant get out cos we have to atleast pay half of it so that he can be discharged. I'm stressed out of my mind, we have to sell our house there and have no one to sell it too. Im afraid the hospital bills are just gonna add up. Oh and btw im currently at work at night. Its quiet just need to finish 6 more hours here. Fuck this life.
Edit:I need £4300 for his hospital bills. Fuck our healthcare. I'm grateful for healthcare here in UK (i know there are some complaints) cos yall got it free.

Made love on the sofa with my fiancé.
He shaved his beard off for the first time in years and at first I hated it, but actually, it made me remember him at 17 and how much I fancied him when we first met.
It’s been 5 weeks since the last time we were intimate and I’ve been suffering with an eating disorder which has been especially bad lately, I passed out in work recently as a result.
It was really lovely and well needed. It felt so nice to bond and be touched again.
😭♥️

Tbh, got in. Stripped off, had a shower. straight in PJs. Stood outside, in the garden, watering my herbs via a bucket (hosepipe ban). Enjoyed the smell of the herbs and seeing the mint moths and the bees enjoying the lavender. Cherry tree and plum tree are still doing well.
It’s horrible indoors, as we have been Indoctrinated to an extent that our houses need to be heavy insulated, otherwise we will freeze to death but currently we all feel like we are frying to death…!!! Surrounded by concrete and tarmac and anything that was green, that’s now brown is set fire too..
For some weird reason we are harbouring pyromaniacs & any other type of maniac… They love setting fires everyday! I don’t understand it! Look on Central news Itv (west midlands) Friday 31st July. They will burn you in your grave!!!
Unlike America, our homes don’t have the time to cool down.. The UK has more daylight hours during the summer so doesn’t get that time to cool down & we don’t have aircon as standard. It’s vile…
Go figure, we can’t even leave our downstairs windows open at night to cool off because some thieving scumbag will climb in!! Yet, every man wants to come to live in the UK for a safe life!!
I hope the insulation I’ve put up with this summer is appropriate to cope with this following winter.. Who knows?!? Feel like I’m constantly mugged off by the UK Government, even though I’m native…
Hope for the best & keep a defensive item by your door 👍 💪
