Army Thread , Tuesday 10th March

I am married and I got a good golden handshake, so the thing is I could do anything really. I could study, I could go back to office work (I used to work in IT in Governance) I just really have no clue as to what I would like and I guess I am scared of doing the wrong thing too.Eg, studying a course that is wrong for me. Its a case of too much choice and doing nothing I think :-)

Plus the economy is rubbish, so there arent many jobs around at the moment...
Maybe I should just chill for a bit longer....

Has there ever been anything you thought of as a "dream job"?
Like to cook? work with animals? love clothes, and designing, or interior decorating?

I love animals...trouble is I am allergic to them. I have 2 dogs and that is about all I can tolerate. It really is quite bad....
I guess I just dont know what I want, I have spent so long under the influence I never really got to know me....

Unfortunately dear starts, I can relate to THAT.

I really don't know who I am anymore. If I ever did, in my adult life, anyways.

Well, maybe you need to spend some time getting to know YOU.
Is there somewhere you can do some kind of volunteer work? A day or two a week. That is supposed to be good for the soul.
Then you are not wasting your time, AND you are doing something truely, purely GOOD as well!?

Or take some class just for the pleasure of it?
Cooking
sewing,
crafting?
Dance lessons?

Yes, I will look into some volunteer work, thats a good idea.
I guess I put too much pressure on myself to jump to the next thing, the next challenge. When maybe I am simply not ready yet.
All in good time eh?
Hows your Sister?

Don't be too hard on yourself.
If you don't *need* the money from a job, why put too much pressure on yourself to pick something right away? Why run the risk of getting into something you hate and want out of?
Find things you enjoy doing, THEN see if it could translate into a paying job!
My sister was not very good last night. Sounding quite desperate, of course sad, crying. The Dr was giving her sedatives to help her get through. I hope he won't cut her off before there is some conclusion to this nightmare.

I haven't called her today...I am sure she is being bombarded daily. I wish I could go there, but she is a few hundred kilometers away. She calls us. Her other brother is there with her, and her grown son...co-workers. I don't want to call her constantly, asking a hundred questions she likely answers repeatedly every day. It is hard to back off, but I have to give her her space.

It is all just so crazy

Good morning super troopers!
I hope everyone is well, and enjoying there week so far, busy or lazy like cymru!

A thought for the day
I AM TOO POSITIVE TO BE DOUBTFUL.
TOO OPTIMISTIC TO BE FEARFUL.
AND TOO DETERMINED TO BE DEFEATED.
