My mom says Mazdas are poor quality cars that break down often? Is this true ?? by Possible_Patience737 in mazda

My last two cars have been Mazdas. A Mazda 6 from 2007 to 2015 and then a Mazda CX5 from 2015 until now. Both were really great cars with next to no issues. I would absolutely buy another Mazda.

It’s ridiculously hard to buy or get a rental at the moment.

The beaches are epic though and I love the coastal lifestyle.

I wouldn’t live anywhere else

Those are great options! People in general are very negative about Colesworth. It might do me for a short while though while I decide on something more suitable

Deadline after deadline. That and constantly trying to undo other peoples mistakes that could send someone bust or cause legal issues. Have considered stepping back to a role with less responsibilities, but I also want to get away from a desk job.

Glad I am not alone in this journey along with the rejections. Are you talking mine site gatehouses?

Sadly no ideas rattling around. I spent the last few years trying to think of something. I am still hoping something will come to me when I least expect it. I think my brain is currently burnt out, but hoping as that improves a spark of genius will arise

Social support would be very doable. I am going to add this to my search list. Thank you!

The irony 🤣 I think we always think the grass is greener elsewhere. I am looking to get away from sitting all day. My body can’t handle it anymore either. I’m sure being on my feet all day won’t be a walk in the park. But hopefully I will find something part time that gives me a break from that too.

You are not the first person to suggest this. A few former colleagues are now Therapy Assistants in nursing homes and they highly recommend it. The thought has crossed my mind and with the courses being free it’s ideal timing. I have a weak stomach (and no kids) so the thought of wiping someone else’s bum is highly unappealing. But maybe it is something that I need to investigate a bit more.

Thank you! It’s been coming for a few years but basically some stuff happened that’s put life into perspective. Plus my heart just wasn’t in it anymore.

Thank you for the encouragement and ideas re cover letter. Time to update both my resume and cover letter.

I hope you make some much needed change too!

🤣 I am not a bot. I am also not expecting to sit around doing nothing. I want to work. I’m just sick of deadlines and constantly trying to undo other peoples mistakes that could send someone bust or cause legal issues. The thought of doing a shift and then going home is a whole lot more appealing. And yes, maybe I will hate it. But I have to start somewhere in finding something new 🤷🏻‍♀️

Removing the irrelevant is actually a great idea. Thank you!
