Depression

yup, that they do in regards to the work station. GP had already requested the assessment to be done, lasted max of 15 minutes and they left and was told "nothing they can do and to 'progress' my usage towards using the new chairs".

Back to the GP I go as he isn't very happy at the moment

The gp can only recommend where the ombudsmen can push shit right to corporate and face plant em with it.
Usually you just mention your intentions of talking to the big O and your boss will start talking..

It is on the cards Westy, saw the quack today and he is livid with what's (not) going on

Tis the season guys... keep an eye on loved ones and mates.

Watch out for that friend or family member that seems a bit distant this year..

The rest of you call one of the many options you have and have a chat!!!!!!

Well gents and ladies. Tis time I spoke up.

As some may have noticed I've pulled out from the Simpson trip and I'll try my best to explain my situation..

To put it simply, broke as a skunk.
But it's not a bad broke. I have a spending issue. Have always had money trouble. No matter what I'm doing I cant hold money, it burns holes in my pockets.

My last hobby I had to quite as my spending was uncontrollable. Credit cards maxed, mortgage sometimes got missed it got that bad.
So I sold it all. Not an Rc thing left.

Well I did well for 6 months. Things were looking good. And then I started the Patrol.
Well I've pretty much blown 3500 bucks from a redraw facility via a farking high 14% interest loan on Jack shoit.
It's still just a GQ..
And worst of all I've been hiding it all.
I'm not sure why I hid it. But the wife found out. She was pissed to say the least. As it was second time she nearly walked out..

So pretty much that's it.
I have contacted life line and our local support network for assistance with money issues.
On a side note no wonder why there are so many suicides this time of year. 3-4 week wait to see someone. Crazy.

Anyway. Yea. I won't be making the Simpson.
And now with this farking varicose vain issue that's another couple thou gone.

Once this patrol is finished I'll be going quite for a while. Westy's Accessories will probably be rested for a while, not that it's booming anyway..
And I'll be hopefully putting demons and veins to rest.

Anyway, everyone have a wonderful Christmas and New years.
Cheers

Crikey mate..... I actually dont know what to say??

Your situation is a bit different and I dont think at this point you need a lecture... this is all controllable and can be rained in with a bit of discipline.

This one is all up to you... try and keep whats important in sight and if there is anything left then put that towards your toys.

Hope this works out mate........ there are heaps on here you can talk to also!!!

Bugger Westy, not good to hear. Hope things pick up for you.

Unfortunately after last night at work, my attendance is 50-50 as I have just been put on workers comp with the quack due to my back going out when a lift fouled up.

Bloody limping again with pain followed by pins and needles in the legs and more pain killers.

Just what I didn't need at xmas.

westy and od, hope you both come through this ok as i know where both of you are coming from, i have spent way more on the patrol than i should and i know i need to stop but its so hard sometimes and im sitting here in pain with a sore back from moving heavy gear at work as i moved it last night so the shop could get recarpeted and back again today so its the old pain killers for me.

Jeez Westy, I really feel for you, mate.
Whatever you do, tough it out for the next few weeks matey, it does get better but it is almost impossible doing it yourself.
Its a sign of the times on how busy the support networks are... I know I sure needed them

Dunno how many have noticed but this is my first time back on the Forum in 5 months.
I lost my darling navvy and handbrake of 35 years suddenly on July 10th. Mrs Evil was there in the evening and passed away during the night.

Haven't been able to focus on anything since but sucked it up and feeling good enough to log on and get back into contact with some of you guys who I have never met but would really like too.

Hope 2014 just gets better and better for you Westy, I know i am going to make it a better year for me no matter what.
