In Real Life... News, and other updates

[DM_Melkhar]

Thing is I can't say or do anything to make it any better.
We all have worries of our own, and if we dwell on these things too much as well as our own life issues then I think we'd just let ourselves go insane.

I've been worrying about my parent's situation for quite a long time now, and I feel it's my burden to pay them back for all their kindness, support and the likes. I've not been able to give them board/rent money for ages because I'm out of work and it makes me feel terrible. Add on lacking a job (to be able to live more easily and improve morale), a social life, being betrayed by friends, nothing seeming to go right and the likes, being bugged about the bombsite of a room I have, my dad's condition either getting worse or more difficult to cope with, the credit crunch on and the recession on its way, it's just too much pressure, let alone worrying about the affairs of other countries.

I know you need to worry about them Suma, they're your people, and my prayers are with them. Otherwise I just can't let things like that rule my emotions when there's so much other stuff in my life going on you know?

*Hug.*

Defintely i understand no worries at all smile

u seem a lot in stress with soo much going on with you Mel. Any hopes of a job that ur interested in? is it hard to get work where you live?  

[DM_Melkhar]

I've been out of work for nigh on two years except for a couple of temporary jobs. It's even harder now with the recession and all. There's one job I've recently applied for that's of real interest.  

[Suma-Kaur]

best of luck!!! Do let us know if u get it biggrin  

[hypnocrown]

Gee Mel, that sucks. I hope everythign gets better for you and yer folks. 3nodding

I'll pray so that you'll get that job Mel. Best of luck too! wink

As for me, I'll post more about my life later but at least I was able to post on a few sub-forums like "The Chapel" for once. mrgreen

Ouch Mel. I do hope things start to improve for you over this next year.

Anyways, count this as my "Look! I'm alive! How's life?" post.
I only seem to make onto Gaia at the start of the semester or during finals (when I really should be writing papers/studying)... so aye...  

[Suma-Kaur]

well i have a lot of new years resoulutions, it was a rough year for me this year but hope this year will be better.  

[DM_Melkhar]

Hi Gornwen! And thanks...^_^'



I didn't even get an interview for that job guys (they had over 200 applications).
I was more than capable of doing it and showed that in my application as well.
*Sigh.*

I am so sorry I have been inactive for so long.... School and other issues just kept me away. I feel bad for not informing you guys, but most of it was unexpected. sweatdrop

I feel your pain Mel... No one is hiring here, really, and I all I hear is more people being laid off and less being hired, with more people applying. I have done so to several places, but failed to receive a call back. My parents are telling me I should get a job, but I keep telling them that nothing is available even for a college student. xp They are feeling the stress of the recession too, yet think I can get one somewhere somehow...

Well I might have something part-time for three months with a charity I've recently volunteered with. Just that mum is expecting me to screw up because I have prior engagements that I'm committed to. So, I feel like one still. I've got to talk to the lady tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes.  

[DM_Melkhar]

Ok the job is mine if I want it. Have to let them know by Wednesday. Like I am going to say no.

FOUR new topics in the new Arcane Academy guys.  

[DM_Melkhar]

Just thought I'd report this.
I have my missing gold and items back! smile

Hi everyone I just hit the ground in the US this morning and am back from India where I was doing (yes, again) a customer install. Got to socialize with some friends and celebrate Christmas in a very interesting way. Happy 2009 to you all; I'm flying to Washington tomorrow to see Jasta who has been in hospital and is going to be coming home hopefully in the next few days. She asked me to give you all her love. I think our big sis has set her up to have connectivity on her laptop so she might check in today.

I hope the new year is better than the old one was.  

[Hod Odinson]

PS good luck on the work thing, DM--FWIW none of us think you're a screw-up. Far from it.  

[JastaElf]

I'm sort of here. The doctor isn't happy about me being online so it'll be sporadic but I'm hopefully going home Saturday.

Happy New Year everyone!

Love,
Jasta
