NO ...not really...
Let's see.. where to start.
1. Sick of waking up with boxes and shit everywhere after recently moving. I just want this place sorted, yet everytime I start something, something else fucks up and takes twice as long. Tonight for example 3 hours trying to fix up a display cabinet where the bottom had rotted.
2. As a result of #2 and trying to do as much as I can, I'm now on my 6th consecutive day of waking up around 10am, and getting to bed at 5am with my head still ticking over. As such I'm mentally exhausted and beaten and belted up.
3. Add to this major financial stress because I've been out of work 6 months and living of my payout.
3a. An unintended move has financially crippled us to the point I need to enact my income protection.
4. Except that said income protection requires you to be actively seeking work, and they cut your pay if you refuse to attend interviews or don't apply for jobs.
5. I can seek work but my skills are largely outdated, meaning my preferred $60k salary will be harder to achieve, as I need time to study and reskill.
6. Coming into christmas jobs are less and less.
7. Still seeing a clinical psych after my previous employer really mind fucked me with workplace harassment/bullying which resulted in a minor mental breakdown.
So yeah ... complete fucking mess at the moment though I'm trying to stay positive. Trying to dig myself out of this hole I'm in but it's proving hard. Financial stress isn't helping things at all.
Oh wow Mr I that's shit.
Sounds very similar to my brothers experience.
He had an ongoing issue with his boss who drove him to a mental breakdown and needed to start seeing a psychologist because he was having homicidal thoughts towards her.. .( he was planning on how to make her trip to Bali a one way affair never to return.. And got to a point t where he actually hated all women .. Still does I think) anyhow his contract ended and was lucky enough to get another in Westpac which went well for a while till the curry munchers (visa 457's)started piling in around 2015.
His main complaint was (in his words ) "they're fucking idiots". He couldn't work with them he'd get called in the middle of the night for a problem and he'd give them instructions on how to resolve it and go " so do you understand?"
And they'd be like "yes yes"
And 5 minutes later they'd be paging him again.. He would be stressed and shitty everyday..
Everytime I saw him he'd be full on talking about how fucking stupid they are.. It was very non PC..
Anyhow that didn't end well because his 120k job went to a curry muncher for 60k..
He's now been out of work for a year and has given up..
So I kind of understand the frustration and anxiety you must be feeling.it's sad to know someone as smart and as nice as you can be driven out by some evil fucker who is probably a sociopath and gets off on destroying people..
On a side note if your willing to work an office job for 60k for the time being.. Try nswhealth jobs theres always lots of work there.
