Zillah Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 My post-graduate assignment (which will hopefully not be shitty). Why does writing an essay feel like pulling teeth sometimes? Well, getting started does, anyway. I've been researching articles for weeks and now I have 24hrs to crap this thing out into Word.

Mark Bee Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I've been marking undergrad papers - its not shitty, but it can be a little overwhelming when the stack is so large it threatens to block out the sun! For what its worth, I always find essay writing painful. Oddly satisfying, but painful. Good luck with your paper.

Colored Guy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've just been buried at work with bullshit politics and taking care of my wife who has pancreatic cancer. I make good money and all, have great benefits, etc., but everything is wearing on me. Just hoping for a better outcome with everything.

Feeling worn down when you have intense stuff going on is the worst. I hope that you are managing to find a bit of chill out time for you to recharge.

gougetheeyes Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hahaaha this thread. I've been drinking too much (..forever) and now seriously toying with sobriety. Thank god my wife was there as my handler this weekend at a friend's wedding and got me back to our hotel before I could fight the entire place because my sunglasses went missing. I'm a gem sometimes. Shannon Shirley, CultExciter, Colored Guy and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make good money and all, have great benefits, etc., but everything is wearing on me. Just hoping for a better outcome with everything.Rob Sorry to hear that Rob, I wish you both the best. Personally, I've been struggling for a bit. I left a lame job in my hometown which I had grown to hate, and it's been an uphill battle. Encountered more than my share of setbacks; shady people, shady jobs, being straight lied to about jobs. Being broke constantly while somehow keeping the bills paid, but living in my car for a month or so (not any more luckily) Now I've taken a bit of a chance. Im going to a 4 week trade school to get my CDL. Always wanted to drive, but never had a means to get the CDL. Now I'm shit broke, have a student loan to pay off, and the next month will be interesting (no idea how im gonna pay these bills; anyone wanna buy some crack?? Joke, joke!) Might sound like I made a dumb decision, but if I just survive this next month, I'll have a skill set that will land me a good paying job. No more unskilled labor, and being treated accordingly. After a year of over the road, I should be able to find a good local job, just about wherever I want, and make a good wage. Here's to hoping the second part of this belongs in the positive things thread, and not this one, cause this month will be stressful enough...

radiofreejenn Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 My 2 year old daughter has an appointment with an endocrinologist on Friday to try to figure out why despite a super healthy diet she has gained 25 pounds in a year. A 50 pound 2 year old will get you nothing but stares and snickers. I really hope we're finally able to get some answers.

OutOfIdeas Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 @radiofreejenn best of luck to you, and her! @Zillah thanks! Its had bad moments, but definately had some damn good times as well! And learned a few things about myself, and life, so thats good as well. @Nassica probably doesn't count for much, coming from an internet stranger, but I'm very, very sorry for your loss. Hold on, and remember them at their best as much as possible. And lean on anyone and everyone you can for support, thats what people who care about us are for Zillah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sympathize! My 3, 2, and 4 month old all got a bug and throw up was everywhere. It was horrible for 3 days or so...then my hubby got sick, then my MIL...I was spared so I could clean everything I suppose.
