I'm a bit fed up this week. My dad says doing too much over time is a bad idea as it wears you out. At least tomorrow I've been granted a half day.
I am only on a temporary contract. I signed it until December 31st with no guarantee. However our manager sent us an email today telling us she wants us to do a manual handling course. I've been signed up for something like January 17th 2017. She thinks I'll still be there in January? That's a good start I suppose.
Truthfully I was pleased earlier but now I've stopped jumping for joy. When my predecessor was showing me around and the things I have to do, I was overwhelmed and I thought 'I'll never get the hang of this". However it's not as difficult as I thought.
The hardest part of my job is dealing with other people (registrars in particular think they know everything).

Been a while but i'll jump on and say hello to everyone.
Love that last line Dee
recovery really does work. Don't be afraid to change your life, or to reach out for support and ask for help.
You really can do this
Couldn't agree more.
Been meaning to give something back for a good while and as always talked a good game and had the best of intentions but always had something else on, well this weekend i'm getting involved, locally there is a rucksack project to help the homeless at Christmas, each rucksack to be filled with a few things to help for those living on the streets, will be helping sort through the donations this weekend and arranging the deliveries etc.
Congrats on 3 years Ruby.

+1 - great weekender theme.
Me too, I tried in vain to stop, I tried and I tried over 10 years I really tried. I was concious of it (the problem)
Drink/Drugs and mediaction and fuses blowing in my head. I used to go see different shrinks and therapists. Then I found the person I was looking for in Toulouse. And then the biggest breakthrough of all SR and its community spirit....recovery online. I even talk about it with my therapist in Toulouse.
Every morning the first thing i do is commit to 24 hours on SR. Its become a natural reflex.
I found life this year, a richer life than i have known in 20+ years
I found a life with my family. I can walk with my head high (hell i can walk) and yes I found faith in myself and in others again...

Congratulations Ruby on your 3 years!
Great intro Dee, thank you. In the first few weeks of my sobriety, your post of
"I was fairly certain I could stop pouring booze down my throat" really helped.
After that, faith & hard work got me a little further down the road.
I'm all in this weekend!

Thanks everyone. It's Friday here. Trying to focus here at work because I'm off work all of next week and am just thinking of all the stuff I can get done while I'm home. Bet it's not even half of what I wish to accomplish. That's just life.
Keep trying to quit. I first went into rehab over ten years ago but didn't stay sober. I thought I was fixed and could control my drinking. It only got worse. Then I went to inpatient. I just got tired of being sick and tired. And I was scared too. Fearful of losing my job. Scared of losing my kids. And house. And health.

Evening all,
Welcome to Weekenders pooky
Glad they are keeping you on Tetra, why are they sending you on a manual handling course? I hope you don't have to carry the patients to the wards now
Good work RedAndy, sadly people like you are needed more and more right now
I am still at work making sure one of my jobs that should have been finished before lunch gets finished. It is going to cost a fortune to deliver overnight now grrr
