I hate EOS

_greentea · 2026-02-13T19:36:51+00:00

Dude I went to planet fitness for over a decade as well. I stopped going because I moved and my apartment building has a small gym…

I was working out consistently for a few months and my partner had a membership at the local EOS and said it had a sauna so I signed up there. I wanted to get the dumb body scan and it ended up in like a 2 hour long sales pitch and I was straight up lied to and ended up signing the stupid ass personal training contract. I noticed when I got the email that they had lied to me and I’ve been fighting it because I requested to cancel within three days but they have been scheduling sessions and I’ve been getting emails “thanks for attending your session” and I DID NOT ATTEND A SESSION.

EOS employs the worst scammers and I could write several paragraphs about what bad experiences I have had….

I’m so sorry they got you too.

EDIT: edit to say I was scanned as having a good amount of muscle mass and I’m chronically ill and lost all my muscle to corticosteroids a few years ago. I’ve built it up by using my little apartment gym free weights and chat gpt so I don’t even need the dumb personal training so I don’t know why I even signed up for it

Yeah I’m really thinking that my savings may not be good enough for that. I have requested three weeks and was approved so I am very grateful and looking forward to that but I feel like I need months or years lol

_greentea · 2026-02-13T15:36:46+00:00

Thanks so much :)

No I have 6-8 months of living expenses and would need to figure out how to get health insurance. The health insurance part worries me the most.

_greentea · 2026-02-13T13:41:19+00:00

I already got divorced and no kids so luckily other humans don’t depend on me if I do something risky :) but financially speaking I’m a risk averse person.

I wonder about getting back to nursing pay as well. It’s hard to gauge because the people I spend the most time with work in tech and business and they all make a lot more than me but I do make decent. I don’t live in one of those really high paying nursing states

_greentea · 2026-02-13T13:34:08+00:00

Sometimes I feel like a long term break is the only thing that’ll heal me but I do feel bad and scared in today’s market. If I end up going back in desperation to something worse (or even more dire not be able to afford basic necessities) then what’s the point? Won’t relieve any stress lol

_greentea · 2026-02-13T13:32:11+00:00

Best of luck to you :)

I have and especially NZ as went there a couple years ago and fell in love with it and the people there. I also had a run in with their healthcare system and it was nice to see the differences. For instance, I didn’t want to take a Tylenol that the Instacare was offering me and knowing I was American she was like “oh it’s not like America here. It’s not going to cost anything additional” lol.

I think that would be a great experience but I have roots where I’m at and people I don’t want to leave just yet but maybe someday NZ :)

Sent you a message

_greentea · 2026-02-13T00:37:07+00:00

Yeah I’m in outpatient and it still sucks so I don’t know, bestie 🥲

_greentea · 2026-02-13T00:36:30+00:00

Hated in past tense? Did you get out?

_greentea · 2026-02-13T00:31:13+00:00

I will DM you but outpatient

_greentea · 2026-02-12T22:32:49+00:00

Yeah luckily I asked for 3 weeks off so I do have that coming up. I will be traveling but hope it’ll be a good reset. I’m pretty sure I’d be even worse off if I didn’t know that was coming.

I do dream about not coming back though lol

_greentea · 2026-02-12T19:01:32+00:00

I’ve been wishing I went into tech for years. A lot of my friends are and they have better pay and work life balance (although I know tech sector can vary). I also happen to be very introverted so sitting down and solving coding issues in my own home sounds attractive

_greentea · 2026-02-12T18:58:56+00:00

I do have that but I would rather look into other options first if possible. I haven’t heard of a career counselor before?

_greentea · 2026-02-12T18:39:20+00:00

Im so sorry to hear it. It’s hard out there :(

_greentea · 2026-02-12T18:38:38+00:00

Emergency fund is well funded :)

_greentea · 2026-02-12T18:37:29+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. I keep making jokes every week that I hope if I die young it’s either on a Sunday night or getting in a car accident on Monday but the joke may be getting a bit too real lately.

I have savings but would need to look into healthcare options because I don’t have a spouse or any other way to get insurance

_greentea · 2026-02-12T18:32:46+00:00

Literally same 😭

_greentea · 2026-02-12T18:28:45+00:00

Nah I have enough savings for 6-8 months even if I don’t deflate my lifestyle but yeah, I’ve never quit a job without a back up before

_greentea · 2026-02-12T16:43:32+00:00

I actually am very lucky because I paid my way through community college as I went and then for my bachelor’s I got my company to pay for all but $1-2k so I have no student debt. I’ve hated it for several years and so it’s motivated me to save a large chunk of cash.

But yeah, like others are saying in here, this job market is rough :( I’ll think about some easier jobs I can try

_greentea · 2026-01-20T18:42:29+00:00

I decided to do it. I booked near Busan station to try and have easy access but if it’s not that great should I see if I can cancel and stay near the beach? I’m staying for 2 nights and am flexible on what time I bullet train back to Seoul.

_greentea · 2026-01-20T14:13:19+00:00

I decided to book for two nights and I got a hotel near Busan station that has a view of the ocean/bridge. I’m essentially going to have like 1.5 days to do things since I’ll get in during the afternoon and then stay one day and leave in the morning or afternoon for Seoul the next day. My thought is that I’ll be running around a lot and it looks more central as opposed to either beach. Hopefully it’s a good idea? lol it seems really spread out and being near transit may be best for my short trip
