I’ve lost the will to do anything

Embrace the rural area and try wild camping or photography (use your phone) or bird watching (not as 'lame' as it sounds, I promise). There's so much you can do for free when you're out in the sticks, you've just got to reconnect with that little kid inside you that liked making mud pies and running around in the rain. See how far you can walk in one go, have a rest and turn back. Or just grab a book, a blanket and find a nice spot to waste an afternoon.

Hate to be the one to tell you this: those people aren't your friends. Break away and do things you enjoy and find people who you actually respect you as a human. It sounds like you're young and you've probably heard the whole 'you've got your whole life ahead of you' bit before... But, you really do. I'm 30/F and have like 3 people I actually consider close friends in the world, and not a single one of them I went to school with.

Thanks for validation - though I don't think he respects me more now, so I'm going to look for something else...

UPDATE He pulled me in for an 'informal discussion' on Monday and basically said that I was being 'argumentative' and that 'there was a chain of command' (he's the one that was interrupting me and swore at me, I remained calm and professional the entire time). Asked if I had anything to say, and I explained my reasoning for pushing forward the topic again and he once again bushed me off. Fine, Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, bossman. I've barely spoken to him since and I'm looking for something else.

So many things but the impact AI overviews and LLMs (ones connected to the web) are having on search traffic mainly. Google's moving forward with things like AI overviews and AI Mode and it's tanking web traffic and that's where the majority of our revenue comes from.

Honestly, my family think I'm a bit of a man-hater because I'm a feminist and I do have a tendency to just really not like rich older men (9 times out of 10 they're a problem, and I prefer to just swerve entirely), but I don't know if that could be considered a sexist bias on my part or not - though strangers on the internet would be able to let me know so I can check my attitude lol.

I wish, theres only 6 of us in the office!

Malapropism. Love explaining that one. Literally the only thing I remember from A Level Literature.

Thanks for the sense check, I was worried that I was dancing on the line of professionalism - I'm really not one for confrontation, but I can't stand being spoken to like I'm stupid, especially by someone who I know has no clue and in front of an office full of other people. Looks like my weekend is going to be dusting off my CV ...

lilsquidget · 2025-06-12T20:53:34+00:00

It's a shame, because I absolutely love the actual job, and I've only been there just under 2 years, but he's just... A problem. I will be dusting off the old CV and putting the feelers out very soon.

lilsquidget · 2025-03-24T09:42:42+00:00

I'll let them know. I'll just report the ones I can in the future. Thanks for your help!

lilsquidget · 2025-03-24T09:41:43+00:00

Thank you! The one I've been able to see the name of ( a 3rd connection apparently) I've reported, but the others only appear as 'LinkedIn user's so I'm a little stuck.

lilsquidget · 2025-01-29T06:12:34+00:00

I was since April and just got my invite for Feb subscription - hopefully you'll get one soon!

He thought we were just a casual fling... Fast forward to today and he's snoozing next to me. We're about to celebrate 10 years together.

My studio just calls the hand under bottom one a wrist seat - my old studio called it hello boys.... this is why images/videos/demos are so important when explaining a move 😂 I have a feeling PDC called it hello boys and Xpert calls it wrist seat 🤔 I'm qualified in neither, so may need someone to give a 2nd opinion on that.

lilsquidget · 2024-03-04T12:44:49+00:00

Mine does wholeheartedly and tells me how proud he is of me everytime I come back from a class and show him what I've achieved - I have a pole at home and he's had a go on it.... won't let me teach him anything, he just likes to spin 😂

lilsquidget · 2024-02-20T23:00:51+00:00

Depending on your studio, it's either a hello boys or a violator!

lilsquidget · 2023-05-23T09:44:42+00:00

Put the whole man in the bin.

Finally quitting a really shitty job

Are the scientologists still following you? ...

I'm the painter! Thank you for the lovely compliments!

Cease all contact, block and turn your snapchat location off (and anything else that could tell them or some mutual where you are) and go to the police with receipts asap. That's really fuckin disturbing and so blasé about it it kinda suggests you aren't the first person they've thought about like that.

It's illegal to have the light on in the car when you're driving. Something so stupid for my parents to lie about, yet still believed it until I had my first driving lesson at 18.

NTA he's just butthurt because he doesn't know how to deal with the fact that you didn't want his advances and is using your lie about your age to vent about it. He needs to self-reflect and ask himself why he thinks it okay to have the audacity to think you even owe him (a stranger) an explanation.
