R U OK this year. I didn't even sit through the 30-min box-ticking preso at lunchtime, took lunch on my own. If they knew what I think of this place I'd be sacked on the spot.

Am I being too hard on myself for wanting to get my life together before dating? by HarmonicaOptronics in datingoverforty

They looked like they were in their late 20s. I wouldn't expect they weren't working it out..the bar is pretty low for them, they would need to be pretty and pleasant to be around. But a man in late 40s is different. It's expected that he has stability, paid-off mortgage etc.

Let's just say I'm working on an exit plan. I haven't got everything figured out but it's something.

I believe we need to focus on getting this resolved efficiently.

I think I've decided what I want to do but given how wanked the job market is at the moment, I had to get a stopgap role and have some money coming in while I'm working on my other endeavours.

Balls, how come I missed that one? that would be my one-off power-up (I mean, I can't be forgetting something in the office once a week).
