    Hey all,
    So the reason why I've been a bit absent-minded and a bit down lately is for various reasons. Nothing catastrophic thought, but just not pleasant. My job for example. I'm not gonna lose it and I'll always have enough ♥♥♥♥ to do, but due to changes and issues with the management, let's say some unpopular decisions were made, some promises were not kept and it's quite clear that the situation where we're severely understaffed right now won't change any time soon despite the CEO having promised otherwise a few months ago.
    I'm barely getting any satisfaction from my job now. I think I'm just gonna have to accept that this is the way it is.

    Secondly, my best buddy's mother is not doing well health-wise and he's very stressed out and anxious too. I'm trying to be there for him and I know he needs me, but yeah it's also preoccupying me.

    And last but not least, as silly as this may sound, my old wrist injury is acting up again. I need to let it rest for a few weeks which means no indoor climbing. And you have no idea how important my sport is to me.

    Anyway, I shouldn't dwell so much on it. And I need to gear up Smile
    I'll try to run an LFR this week before next weekend's raid to hopefully find some decent ♥♥♥♥ to wear.

    Hey everyone,

    I can't thank you enough for your support and kindness. I had a long chat with my boss last week. Well, let's say it helped. It reassured me about some doubts I had. Once again, just being frank and sincere was the way to go.

    My mate's mom seems to be doing better too. Well at least she's on the betterhand for now but the hard part for my mate is knowing that this won't be just a one time thing... she has permanent health issues and the older the grows, the more it'll be a problem. But they're coping and I do my best to be there for him.

    Also, letting my ♥♥♥♥ing wrist rest a week did good too. I tried climbing yesterday and it went okay. I still have to be careful, but in a week it should be back to normal with it.

    I'm also glad the decision was made to put the raids earlier. 8h30 is perfect! I signed up for next week's raid. I'll make sure I studied all the strats so I'm not clueless Smile

    Thanks again!
