I have fond memories of watching first run simpsons on my older brothers little tv in his bedroom while tucking in to my looney tunes microwave meal that my mum would make when I was being fussy. the Daffy duck spaghetti and meatballs and bugs bunny chicken nuggs were my favourites
I always laugh at the serving suggestion on like leggo’s tortellini, ravioli extra. Serves 4 apparently. I assume that is children and not a grown-arse man
Man I hate catastrophising so much. Current thoughts: ‘i’m not going to get a new job’ ‘the situation at my current job is going to explode’ ‘i’m going to get fired’ ‘yes i now have money in savings but it wont be enough’ ‘nothing good is going to come my way’ and so on and on. I’m sorry y’all I feel like such a broken record with my anxiety musings. Even though i’ve been in similar situations before and it’s always worked out, my brain is like ‘not this time, pal. this is the one where you’re gonna get fucked over’.
I don’t want to but one of my earlier posts today mentions some issues i’m having at work and I’m just a bit done with the all the stress of it. Ideally i’d like to have something to go to before I resign. And I’m worried about how i’m going to juggle having to do phone interviews or actually go to interviews if I’m working all the time and can’t call in sick unless my shift is covered.
Got a call for in person interview for one of the jobs I applied for which is great. But now begins the stress of trying to get my shift covered and as i’m potentially going to the interview straight from work dressing in a way that doesn’t give the away i might be having and interview while also dressing appropriately for the interview. Also the nature of my job means that I can’t just call in sick without my shift being covered. Should i just quit my job and wait for after then to attend interviews?
Yeah that was it! I ended up having a conversation with the employee as my boss insisted on giving him a written warning despite my advice to just go a letter of concern and make it an informal warning. I was just honest with him about the whole situation and he’s contacted fair work . I have a feeling when my boss returns from leave in a few days, she going to be pissed at me and from what I’ve been told from other staff who have been at this business a while, she can be very vindictive when she feels crossed by people. I’m too old to put up with that shit so I’m probably going to give notice this week or next.
So I’ve been talking a lot about my recent bouts with anxiety which stem from an issue occurring at work. No one probably remembers me posting about this but my boss wanted me to fire someone without following correct fair work process and while i managed to put that fire out other stuff has eventuated because of it which has been cause for my anxiety.
Anyway this morning I woke up to a life preserver from the universe in the form of a hefty tax return that is enough for me to live off for a couple of months if i decide to quit my current role. I’ve already started applying for jobs and my plan would be to give 2 weeks notice which will give a nice boost to my savings. So I think I’m going to go ahead and quit. Hopefully I will have something lined up in the couple of weeks but if not i’ll at least have some savings to dip into.
