    So I guess we’re all good now. Recruiter messaged back saying it was a great reference.

    HR rang to let me know my start date and time, and what to expect on my first day.

    It’s done.

    Thank you everyone for all your help and support ❤️❤️❤️

    Now I’m going to give the cat a shit load of treats, and enjoy some video games without feeling guilty because I should be applying for jobs.

    It’s been a huge learning experience the last 6 months. I won’t be forgetting the lessons any time soon.

    Reference has been given. Sounds like it went well! Thanks again to the poster here who was able to help me with that. Very much in their debt.

    Now I’ll get a call from the recruiter later today or tomorrow which will give me the final word that we are all a go for next week.

    Fingers crossed!

    Edit: I send the recruiter a text to “touch base” and she said it was a great reference!!!

    Thank you to the person who gave it this morning ❤️

    I’m going to pretend everything is fine for next week. HR rang me yesterday letting me know who to meet and at what time.

        Some scenario based test to determine if youre not a sociopath. Had to record myself answering and everything.

      I’m on lunch and looked that up to amuse myself - some of those scenarios are really tricky.

      Well done you!

        Thanks. I had COVID when I did it too so I was super glad I managed to get through it all.

    Medical procedures, vomiting, death mention

    This is great… I’m now vomiting liquid more frequently, cold all the time, getting dehydrated and sleeping a lot. My stomach is slowly shutting down and my doctor is telling me that I’m at risk of sudden death from malnutrition.

    I’ve been trying to get a feeding tube for a while but the medical system is very slow and obstructive so I have a weird sense that I possibly might not make it.

        That’s the plan. I’ve done so before but didn’t get the procedure so I may need to keep returning

      That’s terrifying and I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I hope things improve and you have naught to fear. Sending my love and good vibes💜

      I’m so sorry. That sounds awful. I really hope that things improve. I know it’s cliche, and easier said than done, but staying positive and hopeful can help with coping and recovering from medical issues. You can get through this. DT needs you, stay strong.

    Happy Go-Live day folks! A project that should’ve taken max 3 weeks but ended up taking closer to 3 months is finally going in today. Threatened my team that if they bring up one more “Oh, BTW I just thought of X” in front of the vendor the next thing I deliver for them will be a resignation letter. I’m joking, but not really. I no longer care if we deliver the most broken thing in the world, I just want it off my damn plate.

    Getting a hang of waking up early again. Up at 7am today and didn’t go back to sleep. Just have to keep it up for another few days and I’ll be set for next week.

      It’s for good reasons, woohoo! The body will get used to it, and we are past the solstice so sunrise is a tiny bit earlier each day which will make it easier too.

        When I got up at 6am the other day, I was an utterly useless zombie. Can’t be having that next week.

    I did not expect my lovely little trip to feature a visit to urgent care, but here we are. After vomiting all day they’ve given me anti-nausea stuff. Hopefully I can actually enjoy the rest of the trip!

    Just went through the performance discussion and I still have my job. It just seems like I’ll be getting around on 1 HP at work for a while.

    My biggest hope is nothing else happens any time soon as it will be too many mistakes close together. I think I’m going to work on getting out of here and at least this allows me to leave on my own terms.

      I’m sorry to hear it mate. Fingers crossed nothing bad happens until you’ve made a decision on whether or not to move on.

        I’ll take things slow and check my work more before sending it off to other people. The work from home here is great but there isn’t much scope to learn because everyone who built the stuff I work on has left.

        Lets hopeI can get a 6 month run of things going smoothly to serve as a soft reset if I don’t move on before then

    On the way home from tennis. I gave myself two options: 1. Take PT home and order delivery or 2. Take a cab home and make food instead. I did neither, took PT home and will make food instead of ordering in. Go me!
