Up for a chat?

[AlwaysMyself]

I know its getting late on the east coast, but seeing if anyone is up for a chat?

Didn't really want to gate-crash people's existing chat threads.

Nothing specific. Just feeling lonely after feeling a few blows today. Just one of those days to roll with the punches until you can progress the issue at hand.

Its ok if no one is up for a chat. Thats the nature of a forum. But I wont know if I dont ask.

Hi @AlwaysMyself I thought you were on the east coast?

Helloooo @AlwaysMyself,

I am only here until 10, but definitely up for a little yap! I am sorry that loneliness is coming up for you after a few challenges... it sounds like today has been tough. 💛

Would you like to talk about it or something entirely different? 

Hi @Till23 @Appleblossom, thank you for being here too. 🫶

[AlwaysMyself]

I am on the east coast timezone @Till23. usually I would try to be going to sleep now. But I know that wont happen and I'll just be stewing.

The upside of time zones can also be that people in west coast wont be going to sleep yet 😅.

@Appleblossom @Till23 thank you. 🥰

Frustraiting day emotionally with unfair/injustice. I will follow up on it to request their reasoning, but until I can have that discussion with the powers that be, I feel very much that I dont have a voice and they have all the power. Ive been waiting for 2 years for my questions to be answered and I get no answer about them.

Yes @AlwaysMyself I've been going to bed early the last few days because I have been feeling a bit cold and incredibly tired

But I went to an online thing where Bessel van der Kolk (Author of The Body Keeps The Score) spoke. It was very interesting, I find him quite good. 

I am sorry you feel you don't have a voice, Is it a work related thing?

Do you want to talk about it or have some distraction

I have to admit I haven't been on the forums much I have been struggling a lot

[AlwaysMyself]

Im trying to think of what is a good topic to talk about. But I dont know.

Something to make me smile or laugh perhaps?

A mental distraction and rerouting the emotions at play perhaps.

I don’t tend to wind down til 10-11pm. I used to be even more of an owl…finding best to settle one’s own energy is key….it can be really hard with things outside of our control.

 I do all sorts of things to manage distress energy…

Here's a questin @AlwaysMyself are you involved in the Sane Newsletter thing? I can't remember when they wanted submissions, do you know?

[AlwaysMyself]

Oh it has been so cold some of the days lately @Till23 I agree! Saturday morning was a very cold wind where I am, and on Tuesday I think it was there was ice on the car windscreen again!

I haven't heard of that author or book before. What's is about? 🙂

And yes, a work issue. Who doesn't love poorly worded enterprise agreements that are ambiguous and written for a select situation without actually referencing that situation intent?
