I dropped my friggin digital camera in the pool trying to take pics of the poochies swimming ....and my theory on lost, damaged, or stolen stuff: replace it with bigger or better. That's my rut. Upgrade the camera....I don't do well with ruts. | |

Sorry things haven't worked out as you planned, jony. Stay hopeful. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Stuck in a rut? No. In a rut? YES!!! :

my job is giving me good experience in my field, but the hours are shitty because I'm on-call and try to make myself available as much as possible. I'm continuing to apply for other similar jobs, but with better hours | |

Yes.
I feel like a shadow of my former self at the moment - even my mates have noticed. That's not to moan or anything, just I feel like I've reached the end of a very long road. And didn't quite anticipate where I was heading. The journey was a lot of fun; the destination not so much. You just gotta keep yourself together and keep ploughing on. It's all you can do, sometimes. Hopefully, this will be a period of our lives where we all look back and realise what we learned from it, personally. to all of you. | |

I have days when I feel like I've reached a dead end, and others when I'm hopeful about the future. Hugs for all of you too | |

i'm currently tying up loose ends of a long long rut and getting ready to dive into a big pool of deliciously terrifying uncertainty. moving to another state, quitting my job, moving in with other people after living alone for six years...it sends chills down my spine to consider it, but i can't wait! | |

Jonylawson - I hope it all goes well for you.
I'm kinda in the middle of my changing life thing. I quit a job of 8 years to go to College, and start at Glasgow Uni in September. I also split up from my girlfriend of 8 years in January there, for many reasons, none of which were her fault and all mine. Realised some major stuff about myself very quickly once I started College. Right now, I'm determined to find out everything about myself, because I've spent most of my life trying to live up to what everyone expects rather than what I actually want to do. I've hidden behind "I can't do it" to save me the pain of failure or hard work when attempting something, and it's this character flaw I'm working on most. As I said originally, I wish you every success in changing your life and getting out of the "rut" you feel you are in. So look into the mirror, do u recognise some1? Is it who u always hoped u would become, when u were young? | |

What exactly is doctors without borders? small circles, big wheels!
I've got a pretty firm grip on the obvious! | |

I'm in a rut that I'm slowly trying to get out of. I've been making progress but today was a particularly bad day.
On the upside, even though this day's been bad, my reaction to it has shown me how much progress I've made. It's just such a slow process. | |

Even the recent smoking ban in the UK got me down. Nothing's the same anymore. | |

WOW!!!! Anx- Good Luck and Congrat My major life changes really started this time last year- sort of doing them in stages. The biggest one is coming up late September. I am getting my resignation letter sorted tonight. They wanted 3 months notice...2 should be plenty. They have known for months actually so they will not be surprised. Currently I am feeling all of the following | |

I hope to be working in a hospital or shelter by the end of the year, but there's so much competition | |
