Bipolar Check-In #76

)

The heat is getting to me mainly. I just feel weird both physically and mentally. Fuzzy headed and a tossed up stomach. I'm guessing its the heat since its not normally this hot and I don't normally feel this certain way. But whatever.

So much crazy news today

It’s done. (The job interview)The guy was super friendly, he said that I’d hear back in a day or 2 if I got it. He asked how I think I did and I said I think I did good and that I’m a good fit for this. He said I was really in the zone and did great lol


The job would be cashier work. He also said I am already ahead of the game because I actually answered the phone unlike a lot of people. I told him about all my volunteer experience and that my schedule is flexible and that the only day I can’t work is on Tuesdays. He told me about his cats lol cause I mentioned volunteering at the Petsmart in the same plaza. I told them about my temp job at the factory in Kentucky scanning and processing orders I did for awhile. He said that’s really good experience to have and that scanning items as a cashier there is very simple so it wouldn’t be a difficult job. He said it’s good I told him I can’t do Tuesdays it can do any other time because he had someone he hired who started working there last week who told him their schedule was open completely and flexible and they then asked for 2 days off every week after the fact once they were already hired. So he said he was glad I mentioned upfront that Tuesdays don’t work for me cause now he knows that and can remember that.

I hope things go well for you @Blue_Bird!

I went to the gym today, after being off for 3 weeks due to the ketamine infusions and some personal issues.

It was a good workout, and now I'm tired, which is a good thing. Maybe my sleep will be better tonight.

My anxiety is slightly elevated today but it's manageable.

Guess what? They just called me back a couple hours after my interview tonight to tell me that I got the job and I start next Wednesday! I’m haven’t been so excited in so long. I’m so proud of myself

I made it thru the day without a diet cola! Yay! Day One.

Congratulations Blue_Bird! You rock!

Congratulations @JaneOnceMore! One step at a time!

Congratulations, I’ve heard soda is really hard to quit.

Well I need to come up with a new screen name. With everything else going on I've been gifted a daughter instead of a son. I just didn't know. So new screen name is in order. I just have no idea how to change my SN. I'm really hoping we win the apartment. About to be disowned by both sides of the family. So I'm morning that

Congratulations! That’s wonderful news!

Yay! Way to go!

Great news! I called the first psychiatrist on my provider list because I recognized the name and he has a good reputation. The coordinator said I needed a referral so I called my current med provider. They faxed it over immediately and I had a return call within 30 minutes. The transition will be seamless time wise. I was concerned. Yay! Much relief and happiness.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Congratulations, @Blue_Bird!

That's wonderful news! What a relief.

It never fails. Anytime I have a time crunch or an urgent deadline, someone or something will waste time that I don't have. If I'm late for work or the doctor, I will always have the youngest or oldest driver on the road in front of me driving 10mph+ under the speed limit. Or farm vehicles. If there's money involved, something unexpected and usually out of my control will happen to ensure I don't have enough when the time comes. It's Murphy's Law, yes, but it's happened so much in recent weeks that I'm starting to feel a cosmic middle finger being pointed in my direction.

My issue: the water bill. It's due today (in just a few minutes actually), but I can't pay it. Why? Two reasons. A recurring charge from my account decided to recur a day early, putting me in the red. Someone at the bank, salivating over the idea of an overdraft charge, got one on my account within the hour. Mindbogglingly quick. A $40 overdraft became $75 in the red, even though I've specifically told the bank to stop any transactions that put me under $0.

--An aside: I've never understood the purpose of an overdraft fee, even from a business standpoint. So someone doesn't have enough money in their account. Is the solution really to charge the person with no money more money (In my case, it was double the money.) until they find the money to cover the transaction (x2 now) they didn't have money for? That's fun.

Fast forward to today. I was supposed to have two commission checks related to my work deposited this morning. They're small checks, but the combined value would have covered my bill. Guess how many were deposited? One.

It's Murphy's Law, I get it, but what in the world did I ever do to Murphy??

Blue_Bird, congratulations on getting the job!
