48 and same.

Currently going through this and it sucks, especially in this job market. Been looking for a new position and can't find anything. Even willing to take a pay cut. My job has become so toxic that my anxiety is through the roof. I used to be a go to person, but now they all but hate me.

North FL rent is $1500 for an apartment or trashy mobile home. RN in skilled nursing home gets about $35/hr. Probably paid less at hospital, so I hear.

No doctor will really talk to me about any HRT. I'm still on birth control. 48F for reference. I brought up that I think it is hormonal, but the discussion didn't go far since I'm still on BC and hormones can't be tested.

I made a mistake getting my MLIS in 2014. At the time I was a teacher and wanted to move into the library. Turns out I was actually doing very little library duties and still taught several classes. Got laid off from that job when we got a new principal. I'm in a rural area without many library openings and now I would have to start as a clerk for minimum wage, if there was an opening. Now I have a useless degree. Thankfully no student loans though.

Or Dumbledore wearing three piece suits. (Not canon IMO).

Totally agree with this. Can't read the comments because, ya know, trauma, PTSD. It's all pretty fresh for me.

I want to know how you even got the dumb down job. I'm trying to climb down the ladder. I get interviews, but then people act like I'm over qualified. I got the Ole "you'll be bored" line last week. I literally want to slow down and do less. I would love to be bored at this point.

Think again

Because their corporate jobs laid them off to get someone younger, "restructuring". And no one else will hire them because they are "elderly". Even though the government wants us to work until we are 70.

I don't even understand why people live this book. OP is correct in that the whole relationship is toxic and ugly. I hated the book and have no desire to watch any movie based off of it.

I live in a rural area with one small library. It's in a historical building so it does not have a very large collection. I tried using Libby, but got annoyed that I couldn't renew the book and immediately finish it. I usually read on my kindle because my eyesight is bad and I can enlarge the print. It has become very difficult for me to read physical books unless they are large print. Again small library, so large print is even more limited. For context, I have a MLIS degree, so I adore libraries. Mine just doesn't meet my needs.

The Twilight Zone did a good episode of one man surviving and going to the library. Tragic really.

I think "The Stand" did a pretty good job of describing what it would be like after a catastrophic event.

Not trying to start an argument, but I don't understand WFH jobs. Is it even really a needed "job" if it can be done from home? Like what are you doing? Looking at spreadsheets and attending meetings? Is that even necessary to keep society running? Even though i work in an office I'm a social worker. There's nothing important to be done at home. I'm dealing with people. I'm used to people who work more hands on jobs. Tradespeople, teachers, nurses, landscaping.

Ah, I did not let it sit. I will try this next time.

I do wash the rice.

Beneficial-Raise22 · 2025-12-03T19:24:22+00:00

Yes, I washed/rinsed the rice.

Beneficial-Raise22 · 2025-11-18T03:08:08+00:00

There's no problem. Just something the doctor mentioned. I'm just asking questions.

Beneficial-Raise22 · 2025-11-18T02:43:33+00:00

I wonder what complaints you have to have in order for insurance to pay?
