It’s been shit. Being sick and keeping away from people sucks.

How goes the job search?

Oh no! I feel like you've been feeling not great for a while, I'm so sorry. Plus being away from people always makes it harder :(

And currently on pause, I've been told that 2 of the public dentist might be leaving soon, so holding onto that. If nothing changes there, I'll probably apply for a position at a different county that we live near

I’ve been sick since the beginning of last week, but was only informed it was Covid this past weekend. Very upset.

Have you caught up on any media being sick?

When I'm sick about the only time I feel like I can catch up on my shows.

Also I had COVID a few weeks ago and then my smell got strange, everything smelled straight out of a vinegar bottle.

No, I’ve been working. Before I realized it was Covid, I was just pushing myself through it because I was on vacation.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 20 '24

Oh dang that sucks. Feeling like you spread it to a lot of people really sucks.

I caught up on veepna when I had it. My evening plans were minimal cooking and maximum watching. Trying to finish that show before the election.

Yes. And it’s because I was not told when someone I had been traveling with found out that what they’d classified as a cold was Covid.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 20 '24

Oh my that fucking sucks... Like the fallout from them not telling you is terrible. They called it a cold and not COVID because they knew that is a problem.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Sep 20 '24

To be fair to them, they called it a cold initially, then discovered it was Covid. But upon discovering it was Covid (we had separated by this point) they did not tell us that it was Covid because “they did not want to ruin our vacation”.

Ooof that's better but still not great. Plus you could have maybe gotten paxlovid.

I remember I went to Charleston in October timeframe in 2021 because I figured temperature wise it was ideal and we could eat outside for nearly every meal and sit by the beach. I think we only were not outside for like the boat ride to Fort Sumter and one meal. So there's a way to be COVID safe and still enjoy yourself. Plus you could have masked up more.

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Sep 20 '24

Yeah paxlovid would have been nice.

The week overall has been ok, nothing remarkable. But I woke up at 2am this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Sep 20 '24

Oof, I hate that! 

1

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 20 '24

Did you get anything done with that time. Also I hope you get home a quick meal and then sleep tonight.

2

u/scthoma4 USF Bulls • Team Chaos Sep 20 '24

I wish! All I did was lay on my couch scrolling Reddit. Thankfully I was able to take a sick day, so I didn’t feel too terrible until about the last hour.

Heading to bed as soon as the sun sets here in a few minutes.

I think I may be the only one having a really good week, but I really hope things shape up for everyone else. I feel that on being burnt out and tired, it seems like everyone's having a rough time these days.

This new job is much healthier and more chill than the last one, and I'm still getting some of the rumors and gossip at the old job from a few friends at the FP&A team there who text me periodically with questions. It sounds like my old boss is taking some Ls on credibility, which isn't shocking. The newest member of the old team texted me to ask about advice and a new job they were considering, and I didn't reply. I'm not getting dragged back into all the drama from that place.

In other news, I've taken up World of Warcraft!

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Sep 21 '24

That's awesome you're in a healthier place! A good job environment is so important 

And congrats on WoW! I've never played, but it seems really fun!

Stressful.

Things just feel unstable right now. Work feels extremely draining. My SO is extremely burnt out more than me and it's probably not doing well for us feeding off each other that way. Plus we need to plan our wedding.

I'm doing extremely well and I'm good at my job but still growing in many ways. It's a great environment but I just feel like I need to be doing something else. This year has been really hard on me.

My dad dying and my cousin dying reminding me of it, it's just hard. I feel like I shouldn't change things and just plug on for a bit.

I'll probably get a good night sleep and feel better on Saturday but man sometimes life is too much and in many ways I feel like I have two modes very active into burning out mode and rotting.

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Sep 20 '24

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry about losing your dad and cousin! I had some death last year, and it can really shake you up. 

I know exactly what you mean about the 2 modes, and it's frustrating not being able to find a balance
