Despite the work being non-physical, it still requires being present and at your desk- and involves a fair amount of stress in and of itself. As my symptoms got worse, I found I could not stay at my desk for more than a call or two at a time before needing to rush to the restroom- sometimes in the middle of calls. Obviously, my performance fell off a rather steep cliff (i was good at my job, dammit), and that combined with the worries about my attendance, I've been extremely stressed. I even had a psych consult to see if they had any suggestions. That helped me manage the stress, but didn't really do much for the root causes. Eventually I couldn't even make the drive in to work anymore.



    I'd been on a leave of absence, but I misunderstood some of the paperwork requirements and did it wrong. So the company is terminating my contract. I was never off of disability (i just wasn't getting payments for a while) so this is really more of a relief than anything else. I'm hoping that as the stress fades away my symptoms will recover at least enough to let me get out of the house a bit more often. As things stand, I've missed 2 of the 4 social engagements I felt I could commit to in the last 4 weeks, and those are the ONLY times i've made out out of my home.

    It's one of the two options you have out here in AZ hahaha. That's funny you mention it because after being out here nearly a decade I don't even notice things like that. It's just what the homes look like.

    Home ownership is an interesting life experience, that's for sure.

    Thanks boys. She's a dime for sure. We got engaged in October last year and the wedding is in December.

    Side note: Her parents own land with water rights so yeah, see you during the water wars. Unless we're fighting mars. Either way see you on the battleground.

    just cut off a toxic friendship. #feelsgoodman


    it was nice too, because we were both like "I wish you well, but I don't like you or want you in my life." like super non-dramatic and respectful. I'm really glad it ended this way.

    Just got my drivers license today after stressing about the driving test for weeks. I didn’t have it for awhile because of carpal tunnel and other medical problems driving. The examiner I had was really laid back and awesome and while I made a few minor mistakes it was a great experience.

    In addition getting this done was a priority because a government county job I was applying for requires a license and just dropped off that info there too. So could still get that job too so we shall see. Now to get me a decent vehicle to use.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?
