I'm really sorry, Scarlet. Would he still get any benefits if he became a contractor? And I assume his pay would change, too. Could it be worth becoming a contractor for now while he looks for a new job? |

Scarlet, hugs... that sucks. Though some income sounds better than none for the moment? Hard to say from here of course...
LT, I'll just throw something out that my (hopefully soon ex-partner) says all the time and I still struggle with (he has Asperger's and from my impression it's pretty severe): if he'd say "why are you here" when I am in a room, he'd probably want to me to take it literally. I.e. why am I currently here, is there something that needs to be done? Not in a mean way at all, just what's going on kind of. Your D might also perceive some part of the house as "her hangout room" and then when you are there and there is no reason, maybe she wonders? I really, really struggle with just taking things literally when he says them, but most often, whatever he says is translated very literally to the situation and does not have any ill-intend at all. Of course I don't know whether it's the same for her. |

As for myself right now, I continue to enjoy working with teenagers so much, especially teaching physics. They come up and ask things related to such fundamental aspects of how our world works and are surprised by the smallest things. It's so refreshing. The job has really lifted my experience of life. I enjoy telling people about random stuff in physics, and most often, people like hearing about it.

Starting sessions with K sounds like a hopeful new chapter. You’re doing hard and meaningful work by acknowledging and addressing the challenges with D. It’s courageous to open up and seek support. K’s offer to work with you individually shows care for the nuances of your family’s situation, and it’s good that H is also engaged in this process, too. I hope that these sessions bring a sense of understanding and direction. Remember to be gentle with yourself. You’re taking proactive steps, and that alone is a sign of deep commitment to the well-being of your family. Take things one step at a time. __________________

Over the past few days I've been looking at Physics A-level exam question papers. I always liked Physics as a teenager, but didn't take it higher. Instead of more therapy I want to start learning maths again and I've signed up for 1:1 acting classes with someone whose been in a Netflix show and a few Russian plays. Just looking for a hand hold and a maths tutor to go through it with me again right from the start. The goal even if it takes a few years would be to take the maths A-level exam even though I don't technically need to. Edit: I just booked a lesson with a PhD student who had a nice intro video . "I'm an aspiring physicist with a background in engineering (BSc and MSc, plus completed PhD coursework and was on the PhD Thesis stage, all in the field of engineering". __________________

I also avoid doctors as much as possible for myself  . I haven't been to my NHS GP in around 8 years. My brother is also a doctor working in oncology at the moment, but I don't obviously avoid him..

Thanks Cake,
We have a session on Thursday, and plenty to talk about. The work stuff is the least of it, which is why I've put it in an email. I feel like I'd be better off if I could figure out how to express anger in the right direction, safely... There are layers of anger, though. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

ugh ugh ugh. I need to vent. just got out of a team meeting (on lunch now) where we were advised that our email team is for sure being dissolved next month and we're all being forced into live chat. They had said that before and then changed it. But now they are back to saying basically "it's going to happen get over it". That means new shift bid, so we'll be getting the crappy schedules, and we'll be highly monitored and controlled by workforce as far as breaks and lunches and no flexibility as far as breaks, lunch, or hours. If you have a dr appt, tough **** if there's no vacation available. This sucks. I'm too old and too close to retiring (2.5 years) to try to find a new job and start over someplace else. I don't know what to do. If I start trying to find another job now, or just wait and see how it goes, I am not a happy camper today. When I had to do chat in the past I was not good at it, it stressed me out no end, my shoulders would be up around my ears by the end of the day dealing with pissed off people and having to do 2 chats at once and having to adhere to response times, etc. I don't want to do this. Agh.
vent/rant over. |
