What's Bothering You?

Lots of stuff going on at work and in my head right now making me feel very unsettled...

I applied for a job in another town not expecting much of it, I didn't think I'd get that far with the application. Didn't hear back from them for ages, so just assumed that they found someone. Then they called me and I had a teams interview with them.

The interview went really well, they said I interviewed really well. I had already set my expectations really low, but now I'm trying not to get myself hyped up on the possibility that I might get somewhere with this.

It would be good for me financially if I got this job, but I'd also be much closer to family (which also saves money for me on travel costs). Not to mention it would be great for my career. So I can't help but feel really excited about it, disappointed that I don't get it, and just anxious in general!!
 
I’m because I paid $40 to change my gender on my ID before it became illegal and a crime.
What’s bothering me is that I paid $40 to change my gender on my ID.
a new license in the state i moved to, which would also comply with new airline regulations starting in may, cost me $120 :( fortunately they didn’t give me hassle about changing my gender marker to X at all. they asked it like a normal question
 
Stuck between feeling very lonely and wanting friends, and the other half of me feeling too exhausted to make the effort.

@ShawnFuzz I appreciate our chess game. Even though I haven't been very chatty, it's been quite fun playing together. Thank you.

Is there a way I can say literally the exact thing?

Just so you know I am enjoying our chess game too! At some point we will have to play live. I am scared to think about the beating I will take, but I am a happy loser 😆 . I enjoy learning from failures!
 
I slipped and really hard on ice today. All my body weight landed on one knee on concrete. I was also carrying a paper bag of groceries which ripped when I fell and everything fell out around me. And there were a bunch of construction guys right by me just watching me struggle to get up and get all my stuff together. My knee really hurts and is swelling now
 
I’ve been a bit down lately and still am bothered by a few things that have been troubling me for a few months at least. Can’t really talk about it though. I’m feeling conflicted about how I feel on one of the things.

So far I haven’t been triggered by the mention of valentine’s day much, but tomorrow I have to go grocery shopping (today there was a change in plans) and I’m dreading it partly because of all the valentine stuff. I never liked the “holiday” but the last few years around this time has been really difficult because of something that has been hurting me.

I feel bad I haven’t finished a drawing yet and been able to give something in return to everyone that has given me a drawing. I think I might be in a sort of art block while also my focus being away from art hasn’t helped either. I really feel bad since I’m still incredibly grateful and touched by the thought and kindness behind each of them. If there is an art portion to the upcoming events, I’m worried about participating as silly as that sounds since I should be prioritizing the first drawing I started after Christmas. I do think though if there is an art portion, it might help push me back into the art mode, if I participate 🤔.

Overall, I’ve been okay and not bad; doing better enough to post again a bit and a bit better in some ways being back here.
 
Is it an official summon? There's still a chance you could get lucky and not have to go. They don't always need everyone. I got a letter twice I think and they never needed me both times.
I don't think so actually. The letter just says I have to fill out the questionnaire online before a certain date. I hope I get lucky like you did! It seems like I get a letter every year and it's annoying 😑
