Re: I'm depressed and bloody fed up, might as well get a bashing from you lot too!
Thanks.
Well 1st day at new job and it went ok ...
People were nice and the work was a doddle to be honest, but I don't think much was expected from me, unlike the other place!
My only issue is because I'm working thru an agency I'm obv on a lower wage than the other guy's, but can live with that as it's a probationary period and if the company like me they'll put me on THEIR books and my hourly rate goes up, but the agency won't allow any overtime either, and there seems to be loads to be had ...
Still, it's to fill a gap as far as I'm concerned and after all it IS money! ... On the plus side of life, my phone rang today and I've got 2 other companies after me for an interview! ...
... and I've phoned one of them back and arranged one for tomorrow at 4. If it was successful it would be closer to home (5 mins instead of 15 (which isn't bad) (can you do 2 lots of brackets inside each other !?!? ... well, I have ... 
) but more importantly $2 or $3 more PH ... to be confirmed!Crossing fingers on that one!
As to me, well I'm feeling a lot better. I'm not 100% if it's the tabs, or that I'm back working, but DEF feel a little something in the air ...
... and NOT complaining!Sooooooo, will see how interview goes tomorrow, but if a no goer then at least I still have a job, which is bloody good in my books ...
Onwards and up!
Have a nice bottle of wine with your dinner this evening.
Best of luck for the interview tomorrow.

Thank you.
Thanks.
Oh absolutely. From little Acorns do big Oak trees grow. You sound so much better Paul and I am chuffed to bits for you and Nic'. It must take a big weight off her mind to hear you like this. I said the other day that everything comes in 3's didn't I?

Excellent news Paul. Even if you don't get it at least people are interested in you and you are earning. With regard to feeling better, I should think it's a bit of both having a job and the meds kicking in. Good luck tomorrow.

Think about it? Did the tablets make the agency offer you work? Did the tablets make your new workmates be friendly? Did the tablets offer you an interview to look forward to?
No, but they have helped you a little bit to be able to see the good things that have happened & to make the most of them. But mainly Paul, it's down to you: Your effort, your determination & your skills. So bloody well done mate for getting through this awful time & long may it continue
We're all proud of you & happy for you Paul. You deserve a change in luck & although there may well be plenty of ups & downs to come, you can be sure we'll be here to support you in any small way we can

Hi Paul,
So glad to read that things have taken a turn for the better. What's that old saying, something like it's always darkest before the dawn... Hope your dawn is breaking and the sunshine starts to flood through your life again.
BTW - the good things happening aren't chance, you're putting yourself out there looking for work - that's your hard work paying off.
Hope you continue to feel brighter.
