Chat/party thread - because we haven't had one in a long time

[Lady Vulpix]

Sorry I haven't been on lately. Real life sucks. Work sucks.

...Loss of passion really sucks.

I feel you, my work sucks too.

Teachers' contest is on Wednesday. Not a good time to learn that my company's biggest customer requested that someone else do the next presentation because they didn't like the one I did (which was awful due to many unpredictable things gone wrong).
Is it really impossible to get a stable job that pays the bills and is not awful?
I like programming, but I don't like how my company and their customers work. I love teaching, but the pay is ridiculously low and I risk losing my job every 1 to 3 years.
I think I'll try looking for a 2nd teaching job, but it may take a while before I can get one, let alone one that helps me make ends meet so I can quit my programming job.

I checked the city government website today and there's a call for substitute teachers, but I need to enter the emission date of my high school diploma and I left it at my mom's place, so... I guess I'll have to wait until I can fetch it.
Didn't think I'd ever need it again.
My high school ceased to exist about 20 years ago, so I'd better find it.

Anyway, I'll figure things out eventually. I wish you the best, Shonta. I hope things work out for you, whether it's by your working conditions improving or by finding a better job.

And best wishes for you too, Kyle! Never heard of a counselor predicting the future, but hopefully he can help you build a good one.

Thanks Gabi, but when I said that quote about hoping to have a good future, I simply meant that I hope his help will allow me to overcome as many of the obstacles plaguing my heart and mind as possible. It's just a little too stressful for me when I feel like I cannot overcome the most difficult obstacles alone.
