Well I attended. Signed and completed forms. Took a Maths and English test. Had a chat with a member of their staff and watched her tick my answers on her sheet. I have the necessary paperwork should a two week training course begins in the last week of February. Guaranteed job interview at the end with employer. Still doesn't mean automatically have the job at the end.
But by Christmas if it goes wrong I can go well that mad year trying to change career to a Support Worker!

It is feeling clammy all of a sudden, in spite of the recent freezing climate we experienced in Scotland.
Yesterday, I went for a good walk up to Straiton, which is just outside of Edinburgh. There's a viaduct that's located out by Bilston leading to Rosslin, where Tom Hanks shot a scene for a certain movie.

Drunk and wishing I had the means/strength to end myself.
Hey Rodox, please reach out to loved ones and/or professional help. I hope this message finds you well.

Christ how long has this been up there? Sorry. Also as of 23/03 I'm not support working.
Sigh. At least I did the training but now have a reference from the trainer.

Yeah, see I've given up drinking. Even over Christmas period. I think it was funnily enough, Lockdown 2020! Just even when shopping just walked past the stacked ranges.
There's this sober mindset that's raging around me. I am not helping because my method is withdrawal.
Giving up drinking doesn't necessarily make you a nicer person. I was still able to destroy friendships irl when sober.
But I've switched to soft drinks and put alcohol money aside for something else.
And obviously seek out to professional help. But they are going to advise useful changes. One change they might suggest might be to stop drinking. I suppose I say to myself I just want a soft drink. Or look to an alternative to alcohol that's available.
Clearly gave up parties etc haha.
BEST of luck to you. You can get through this.
I actually don't drink that often, and am actually a fairly responsible drinker for the most part. When I do drink, though, it releases all those negative emotions that I have to repress/suppress for the sake of work and being around people.

Well don't let that put you off making an appointment. Sorry if offended in any case.
Good luck still.
And I managed to get the training confirmed. Two weeks from Monday. Daring to think of two months ahead.
Also new MGMT album released tomorrow. Really looking forward to that one.

The weather is improving, although rumours of snow still persist.
The game I am looking forward to this month is of course
Alone in the Dark.
