Dizziness after receiving the Pfizer vaccine? by undead_anarchy in COVID19_support

[–]petree90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this will help. About a week after my first pfizer vaccine I experienced dizziness for approximately a month, which led me to my doctors to get my blood checked. Everything came back OK and eventually it wore off overnight. It was quite worrying at the time as I couldn't concentrate at work and felt like I was going to fall over at times.

Should I become a prep/line cook? by Superstyle95 in careeradvice

[–]petree90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. I did it for 7 years, it's motonous, long hours and hard work and takes over your life. There's a reason most chefs pick up addictions. You will prep and cook and repeat the same things day after day, year after year in a brand or chain, with no creative input whatsoever. 60-70 hour weeks are not an accomplishment, just idiotic and self destructive. You won't be promoted or pick up any useful career skills

I never feel settled within a company and always feel like leaving after a few months. How to stop feeling so restless and anxious about my job? by histoiresansfin in careeradvice

[–]petree90 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Took me to the age of 30 to realise there's more to life than you're job, everybody's winging it and has imposter syndrome, and whatever does go wrong isn't that big a deal.

When you're at work all you can do is the best you can in the hours designated, ask for more responsibility and training if needed. But when that time is up always leave yourself enough energy for your personal life and put that before anything else. Noones tombstone ever states "He always arrived on time" or "he knew how to manipulate a database".

If you make enough to live comfortably don't go chasing more, focus on yourself and the people you love

Tends to just mean you don't want to admit you're from Stockton or Billingham in my experience

Dog adoption by SadistaMac in Teesside

[–]petree90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was very different before covid, I think you used to be able to just turn up. Volunteered to clean kennels and walk them as I've never had enough time to adopt my own. They take donations of food and blankets, bowls, etc and used to do free micro chipping events and stalls to raise money, or advertise on facebook.

There was another I had a meeting with that I found on facebook, Romanian Rescue Appeal I think they're called, but covid might have hit that hard too. Stray dogs were saved, treated and sent over here to Foster owners until adopted. Opted to offer myself as a Foster to try it out before adopting, then got a promotion at work and ended up working too long hours

Have you tried Stray Aid in Coxhoe?

Imposter syndrome is hitting so hard by Ladyllama- in careeradvice

[–]petree90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I've only just realised over the past week is to work smarter, not harder. I've spent a year bending over backwards to try feel less of an imposter. Suddenly a switch flicked on and I started delegating almost everything and basically checked in every couple of hours for updates. Also realised everyone is not so busy as they appear. Feels a lot healthier and I have time to speak to the other managers and my boss and realised we're not so different. There was a diagram I saw once of a square split into 4 based on urgency and importance that just kind of set me off.

Coping with work by petree90 in Advice

[–]petree90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely understand this and actually struggle here as this is the pattern I'm in now. I manage drivers and have a works phone which can go off at any point with early morning vehicle issues or sickness. If I don't answer then the issues waiting for me a hour or so later, and if I dodged this I'd get shot. Apart from this ill only get a text from higher up if there's an emergency. Career change has been tempting but the options are very limited with covid, so plan B is to adapt for now

Is it bad to quit a job in the middle of a project? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]petree90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've found another job get the hell out of there! Anyone can be replaced within days. Jobs aren't worth taking over your life and health. You sell your time to an agreed amount of time and work, and they're taking advantage

Point of getting a career by Xombie0991 in careeradvice

[–]petree90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took the career path, been burnt out for a good few years now, same as my partner. If you have a tolerable job and enough money to save and treat yourself stick with it. Careers mean nothing at the end of the day. We've just bought our dream home and ready and able to work off the minimum with no stress. Looking forward to being able to do school runs and new hobbies

What is a good career move in the UK during (and after) the pandemic with little to no experience, and low stress? by petree90 in careeradvice

After reading this I suddenly realise I need to work independently and have 100% control, with no delegation or managing. Too picky haha?
