MY father passed away the week before last. Still feeling rather sad. I know he would have wanted me to celebrate his ascension to the heavens but I just feel so ... worn. and fed up? I wish i could take a gap year...

I've found that after the initial sadness at such a situation, I too feel 'tired'. Try to eat well, sleep well, and get some exercise and fresh air.

Watching my uncle's funeral going on in Malaysia through Zoom is my first experience with the app. a necessary one. it is a surreal experience.

Sad times.
But glad you *could* be involved.-

Got head hunted this morning. Salary is 10% less than my current but has a car included on top (worth 17k) and commissions. wonder if i could just get that 17k in cash... as i have a nice car. all in all it is probably not worth it, as the current place is quite cruisy.

Bear i mind that this is the opening offer.
You can say "I'm interested, but..."-

Sometimes I feel I'm the only one working in this company lmao.

Paid double? I work at a council! Probably lucky to be paid at all!
Actually - I do like my job. And I'm fortunate enough that I can make changes to the way things are done for the benefit of everyone.

Welcome to my world!
I have one member of staff on long-term sick leave, and she plans to move to a new role immediately she gets back but until that is formalised, I can't recruit.
The other member of the team is very pregnant and on leave from 6 weeks time (assuming nothing happens before). She may be out for 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months... And I cannot recruit to replace her. She is also very specialist in what she does, and works part time. So finding someone to fill that role - temporarily - is incredibly unlikely.
In the meantime, the business wants more and more from the IT and IS function!-

While waiting is painful and sometimes difficult, purchase in haste and repent at leisure.

sooooo, there is balance in all things. the rent went up again, bringing the total increase in the last year up to 80 dollars a week. So, when can we start eating the rich and landlords?
-
Not yet. Wait 'til they're fat and juicy.
