Meandering
Meh:
Went out to get caught up on food intake, got some coffee. Walked. Now home and looking at an email correspondence from the employment rep I'm assigned to. He didn't answer any of my questions about timeline. He was vague and circumventing. He said he wants to talk about other scenarios when I am officially enrolled. That sounds exhausting and confusing. I sent him two emails and cc another rep. There was only a reply to one email.
I'm not sure he understood my question. Can I delay officially picking a training plan for one quarter and still use retraining funds. He didn't hear that or get it.
I feel like I might be wasting my time. It's worth trying.
Be nice, I'm slightly worried about my frustration getting out of control at some point and just walking out on them telling them to shove it. I will need to prepare and study for these freaking meetings with them. I can't risk blurting out nonsense because I'm overwhelmed and frustrated. I also can't express being overwhelmed and frustrated to them. Luckily I have some time. They have no interest in meeting with me or talking to me much until I am enrolled. LOL
What if I get enrolled in their project and refuse to agree with them. They can't really make me sign anything. I can tell them I am uncomfortable at this point committing to their plan because it's not my plan for my life. I'm not a slave. They dangled the carrot.
I need to not swerve into the thing I want to avoid.
He didn't say NO. He said it might be possible even if he wasn't encouraging about it.
These people must feel like they are in a position of power. Maybe it would behoove me to request the lady as my case manager. I don't want to be a pain. I just don't want any complications.
Meh:
I think I'm going to write on Penzu some of the time instead of clogging up voicelessness.
Hopalong:
You're not "clogging up" anything, G!
You're going through something and need to vent and it's GOOD.
Plus, if you disappear we won't be able to keep cheering you on while you get through this!
Be sure to eat good healthy food now. And take breaks. And sleep. And drink a lot of water. Take a couple hours, meditate...slow the racing down enough to still get things done in time but not drive yourself over the top.
You're okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. You really are okaaaaaaaaaaay.
And you're being productive as hell.
These posts are productive! The one where you basically reminded yourself of your worth in different ways, especially that you deserve this opportunity as much as any other person...was awesome.
Hang in there, G!
hugs
Hops
Meh:
There is a BA in Public Health and I'm really drawn to it for some reason.

G, I am endlessly frustrated by other people's ability to give a straight answer to a simple question. What I find in the UK (so I don't know if it's the same over there) is that people are only trained to implement the system - they're not trained to know the system or understand it, or to be experts in the topic they're dealing with. They're basically just pushing paper so if someone has a specific enquiry that isn't on their list they can't answer it. And for some reason they don't like saying they can't answer it, so you get a load of whaffly guff back and start wondering if it's you that can't express themselves properly :) He quite possibly is also on a target to get a certain number of people signed up, regardless of whether it's the best thing for them to do. It's incredibly frustrating. You could try finding someone higher up and asking the questions again, making it clear you won't sign up until you can get an answer to those questions. It's very annoying to have to keep dealing with things.
Are the meetings like interviews to see if you're suitable for the course? Or for you to find out more about it? I'm still catching up on the thread so you might have already explained; I'll read more today and might be able to find the answer myself lol xx
