    The house that G built.

    I had 50 days AF under my belt, tried to moderate (some success and some excess) then quit again and caved on day 16 after a stressful week :-( There is no point dwelling on it though is there? We just need to put it behind us and move on.. You have inspired me to do this.

    Are you going to count the days again? I am not sure if this helps me or not?!

    :h
    Hi Wine no,

    Yes, i am going to count my AF days, but i might keep them to myself for awhile, lol. I am acting to remove the work stress trigger that has been worrying me for the last year. My solution is to tackle the frustration i have been feeling at work with my management by backing off my hours and taking up study with leave. So a bit less money, but i can afford it and it will give me a break from poor management work practice that puts unnecessary barriers and frustrations in the way of my work. I'm asking to drop back to 1 day a week and some fortnightly weekend work, so this will be great for my mental and emotional health, which i am now putting first. This will also free me up for some other projects i'm passionate about. I'm hoping to have this in place next week or 2. Otherwise i'll resign and enjoy study living on baked beans on toast.

    Good to see you. For me, it's important to reflect on why i've caved, and work out what i can do about it next time and try to see it coming. Keep it going!

    Howdy to all.

    G bloke. :h

        I hope the new work plan works out. It sounds like a good idea to reduce the amount of stress. Keep up the good work :h

          G Man, the man with a plan. Good for you :h

          I have made a decision to cut my working hours and get a happier work/life balance for myself. I hope it works out for us both. I will lose money, but money isn't everything, is it? Let's hope it works out for both of us

            glad you're not doing the beat yourself up thing...no future in that (not that I really expected you would, you sound like a pretty strong person there, friend). I'm a little late and slow on the uptake.
            Wishing you the best in getting the work stuff ironed out. And of course there's always music!!

                      Wow!

                      How cool is you doing your master's?! That's wild. Enjoy yourself. I've started study too, a diploma. I'm enjoying that too. Congratulations on day 3. Hangovers are for turkeys! Turkeys i say.

                      Off to bed here soon. Catch you around Limey!

                        Hey Mr. G. - just wanted to send you support! I think it's super that you're changing some things up and going back to school. I'm learning that (as we hear repeatedly) quitting drinking is certainly about more than just putting down the drink...........Like you, I'm trying to change things up so I don't falter again.

                        Best to you,
                        UN :lilheart:

                          No turkeys allowed here, right Mr. G?

                          Good to see you Limey! Wow...look at all you people gettin' all smart and stuff! I don't have the focus to do any more schooling. My daughter asked me to help her with her pre-calculus the other night and I took one look at it and my head near exploded.

                          Everyone keep up the great work! I'm gonna go enjoy the sauna G man built!

                            Hey GMan!
                            Just checking in to see how you're doing. Hope you are well.
                            Now K9 has made me feel like going to a sauna! I don't have one so a hot bath will have to do!

                              Top of the morning to you WN, UNpeace keeping mission, Niner and y'all,

                              Very good here thanks WN. Chillin' in the hot bath. I feel pretty good.

                              Enjoy the sauna Niner!

                              I'm lucky there are so many great people here at work in the front line jobs like mine, that restore my hope and faith in the organisation.

                              Now Niner, i know your brain is an agile one. Your skill in taking back your life, rebuilding your relationships, and keeping a loving eye on blockheads like me is second to none and extremely admirable. :h

                              L8tr, Yo!

                                We have a sauna with room for all WN! It is unisex though.
