Thinking of you from a fellow down underer!

You'll get through it I'm sure, because you have to. It's never a good situation to be in, but you'll do it!

Chin up!!

What a horrible situation to be in. :(
How long do you think the investigation will last? I hope for your sake and your colleague's that everything gets sorted out quickly so you can you can remember you friend with regret for his parting but without having to dissect the circumstances any more.

Thank you very much all!

Especially Andy and Yugo who are coping with your own tough times. I am back in control again!

Andy, hopefully may get some time for a yarn soon....

Yugogypsy, stacking boxes in the local woolies is looking pretty good right now!

It is said that you can have up to three careers in life and I've had two, maybe another one is a possibility, but I will need the money for a while yet until I am in a postion to take alower paying job.

something i love about this site is the outpouring of support in times like this and i know that you are all here with me in spirit. Thanks again, it does mean a lot to me! :mrgreen:

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, Nev.

I hope they pass quickly.

Perhaps SSish folks can come up with new jobs for you?

Hey Gang,

Had to let the legal eagles know if there were any times between now and the end of next year when I would not be available for hearings........so looks like I will be in court at some stage.

Another mini-melt down this arvo but I feel better for this one.

Gonna be a loooong march.

Sorry to hear your feeling pretty awful Nev.
From personal experience ( trust me too much experience) If you can accept that your going to feel bad about it all.. it helps. For me.. I have learnt to say" this is a bad thing.. I don't like it and I feel horrid.. and then I chuck it in it's own mental box and "file it away". You know it's there, you know you would not choose it.. your not ignoring it.. you just accept it's a whole load of poo that makes you feel bad. You get to take it out when it has to be dealt with.. and you get to put it away when you need a mental break.

Hope that has made some sense... in a really simple sense you may hate tomatoes..you know you hate them and you accept you hate them..occasionally they will crop up where you end up eating them. But then you say YUK.. I hate tomatoes.

Not saying it's all that simple.. but I guess it's a way of breaking it down into bite size pieces.. where you then don't shock yourself that you feel your not coping with it all.

Good luck with it.. hugs!!
You only get hindsight when you made a mistake! :)

Nev, it is OK to feel bad about it. If you want to wallow in feeling bad from time to time that's OK, too. If you want to luxuriate in feeling bad, then so much the better.

Then you sigh, and take a step forward, and then another, and then another and just remember that one day it will be behind you.

More *hugs* from me. It sounds like an absolute nightmare, and it must feel like you're being hunted down.

BTW, I am now on my third career - thank God I don't have to make this change again!! LOL
