So the company that is taking over my current companies contract just called and are going to get me an offer in 2 days or so!
The job should be pretty much the same although the transition will suck but I will be salary making over 15000 what I am making now! She also said it will have a 10 percent bonus!
I hope I can stay up to snuff as this can really help pay off Student loans. I am excited and will try to stay positive as this is welcome news to me. I have really been stressed as I am down co-workers and didnāt have anything else lined up.
I just have to hold on to this job for another month or maybe less and then I will transition sometime in March.
Yeah, I had a bit of BSing to get the number higher ha, they asked me my salary requirement so I went 10 higher than what I make now and then he said āhow about 5 higherā so I said sounds good to me.
I just hope the grass is green, who knows it may be a better gig.
Congrats! Itās always cool to see people with sz working professional jobs. Shows a lot of fortitude. I canāt wait till I start making money. I have expensive taste in cars.
I have had a hard time with my memory and cognitive issues, it hasnāt been easy but I kinda subscribe to an āact like you know what to doā ideology, even when I donāt know what I am doing, itās surprising how far it can get you.
Iāve basically bullshitted my way into a 3.8 at school. I plan to ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā my way through my masters. Get to where you need to any way you can.
Thatās a good notion to have, get where you need to any way you can, I have had plenty of ups and downs but I am glad to see things are on the up. The best advice I can give is to always keep going even when itās a real struggle.
Thatās awesome to have a 3.8, I had a 4.0 for the first semester of college but by the end of college Dās were pretty ok with me, I hope you keep hanging in there with college, it can get tough but it can also take you places.
I plan on getting my msw once Iām done with undergrad. I have friends through volunteering that work for the state and make six figures as social workers on a macro level. I figure this is my best bet as Iām too unstable to do individual therapy.
You think about and take care of your children.
You hold down a serious job, even get a sweet increase.
You have empathy and compassion for your peers.
Youāve NEVER dogged the mother of your children.
At some point, youāre going to have to accept that you got the 3.8 because youāre a good student and a hard worker. BSing can only get you so far. You have that grade because you earned that grade.
Thanks @JustTrish , I try my best with stuff thatās all I can really say about most stuff but I can be better in areas. I will take the hug because other than my mom hugging me and me making the kiss hug me I donāt get many hugs anymore ha.
I donāt criticize others as much as I had before schizophrenia, I have been humbled by this disease, it has taken away much of my wit and talent, I used to be able to play guitar and have a fast sense of humor as well.
My ex-wife has certain areas she could improve in but for the most part I try not to dog on her, I recognized her and I were going to impact our children negatively if we stayed together, there were other factors that played out heavily making me realize she cared more about other things more than me too. We almost got back together but she moved on rather quickly which hurt me a little but not too much in the grand scheme of things.
She wasnāt completely understanding of my need to adjust to the stress of schizophrenia and get myself stable which would have caused me much distress, I donāt consider this dogging on her as it is just an account of what happened, I have a part of me that will always have a soft spot for her but I accept how things turn out.
I am glad I somehow have admiration from someone though, I feel stuck in a hole most of the time anymore but when I have my kids around that goes to the back of my mind.
If only I could find happiness in life, being with my kids makes me happy but that is something that should make anyone happy I feel.
How are things for you @JustTrish? I hope you have things that make you happy, being happy is more important than having all your ducks in a row, do you have hobbies that you enjoy or activities you like to do?
@Ninjastar is right about accepting your accomplishments @Air , you work for your grades and should be happy you get good ones.
Just donāt get caught up with comparing yourself to others too much, nothing good comes from that especially when you have schizophrenia. I beat myself up over how I do things in comparison to others far too often. I admit though it is really hard to accept that a schizophrenic mind is less capable than my previous quicker more efficient brain.
Things stay pretty stressful for me. I have both physical and mental illness. Butā¦ Iām not giving up! For example, I was supposed to have surgery tomorrow but the transportation and wait time werenāt feasible. So, Iām having it on March 9th. I just got confirmation that I have transportation someone to wait and stop if I need to on the way back. Iām so relieved!
I donāt have kids of my own, but Iāve seen what can happen if kids are exposed to arguing. Itās not pretty. Iām sorry you couldnāt make it back together. And, yes, it would hurt me, too, if an ex moved on too quickly.
I love to read, mostly fiction. I enjoy music off all types, and used to sing. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy time with friends and family. So, thanks for asking.
I hope things go well for you, and that you have peace.
Iāve learned over my recovery not to compare myself to others. Itās a good way to be even without mental illness. I do still have a drive to recover though, as I want a full life, and especially with schizophrenia that isnāt just handed to you.
I used to read an obscene amount, the most in grade school out of everyone and same way in Junior high, more books than everyone else. Since schizophrenia happened to me I have read only 1 book and it has been three years. That was Elyn Saks - The Center Cannot Hold and it is about her struggles with schizophrenia.
I havenāt been able to get into books like I used to my mind just doesnāt get immersed enough. I admit to being too lazy to get in to cooking but I enjoy eating ha.
What is the surgery for if you donāt mind me asking? I am glad you have alot to enjoy, do you have an active social life? I admit I do not.
