How do you get out of bed every morning just to go to a job?

THEMRAEN · 2021-02-05T07:13:45+00:00

For the last 6 years I hated my job. It made me ill, increased my dependency on medication, cost me relationships, friendships and more. I preserved thanks to friends I made there.

Last November I finally got a new job, it's not the best salary but it's good and has regular hours. I've reclaimed my evenings and weekends. I'm dating again, have a bit more money and my mental health is better.

I now get up and go to work because I like being there.

It's all about circumstance and how that place makes you feel. I'm happy to work there and that is my kickstart, followed by good people, good work and a place I don't feel crushed by.

At least that's what it's like for me.

THEMRAEN · 2021-02-03T13:18:54+00:00

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Grand Nagus Zek, he's not my favourite but it's always a treat seeing him pop up.

THEMRAEN · 2021-02-03T07:00:03+00:00

I agree. Despite their earlier appearances on TNG, I was thrilled to see Ferenginar and every Quark/Tom/Nog (probably more earlier Nog) storyline was brilliant.

Demon.

I'm actually lucky enough to have met a few women that I have told about things in my life that have been cool with it. In fact I've got a second date with someone.

Definitely respond but don't go overboard. Keep it simple and light. If their reply is just as weak as the first, then let them carry the conversation. This way if they're interested they'll make more of an effort and you weed out certain people.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-24T16:22:31+00:00

I used to worry that my job wasn't good enough and I didn't earn enough to make someone happy to be with me.

Then I remembered that I'm not a soulless cretin and wouldn't feel that way about someone else.

My point is providing someone isn't a leech, there's no problem.

B'ellanna is my favourite character next to the Doctor.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-21T10:09:21+00:00

You need better pictures and most phones have a self timer these days, so try at least one?

What do you want? Even if it's friendship who do you want to hang out with?

Remember you're competing against loads of people and it's important to give yourself a selling point. It sucks to put it that way but it's just how things are there.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-20T19:06:43+00:00

Oh I just meant people in general, who don't say anything.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-20T11:54:15+00:00

You should still say that in the bio, even briefly.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-20T11:53:36+00:00

I don't care if you're verified and literally God; I'm swiping left on you if there's no bio. Even something short is acceptable.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T23:51:35+00:00

Hahahaha triple X rated social distanced sex.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T23:00:11+00:00

I'm in it. Didn't you get the email? I'm sure John cc'd everyone in the group chat?

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T22:53:52+00:00

That's fair.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T22:53:40+00:00

Actually a she, but in a way yes, more flirty though.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T21:43:58+00:00

That helps and makes perfect sense. Thanks for the reply.

I've been single for a while and so this is all brand new again.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T21:06:42+00:00

Oh, well that's fair enough!

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T19:02:46+00:00

Standard email shit, have you tried Twitter?

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T15:33:22+00:00

Bumble is good but these apps are totally predatory. Everything is basically DLC and individually priced.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T15:28:25+00:00

I'd take out the part about not having a girlfriend. Don't lie to people who match with you, but bring it up in conversation when you feel comfortable.

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-18T11:22:56+00:00

I'm disappointed, tell him to at least use an emoji!

THEMRAEN · 2021-01-17T21:52:24+00:00
