This isn't looking for attention sympathy or advise. This is more and explanation as to why current forum behavior has been at a regression. I found out last wed that I will probably be losing my job. I found out Friday that in two weeks after that day it will become a reality. They gave me two possible ways out that I'm not going to get into. So to say it frankly I'm just really stressed right now. Feels rather hopeless. I confess I was looking for threads to troll and ended up on the political thread. I will strive to stoP that now

Well. I do have one possible way out like I said. Although I'm very tempted not to try to take it

Also sorry to hear that belial. It's not a nice time to live in when you want a job, hopefully you'll find a replacement sooner rather than later. 👍

dude, there are online jobs that are available like tutoring a non english student to speak in english..it may be a bit boring and frustrating but it pays a bit well..

Yeah, I've been there to a degree. Nothing better than being freed from a job that you think you have to keep. It's just hard to realize it at the time.Chin up B you Neva no wats round the corner could be a blessing in disguise :)

Yes and no. I have lived here for over 3 years. I came to china to teach privately. I have also worked in schools and training centers. If you don't speak Chinese this is all you will likelt be able to find...very few companies have use for an English speaking person with no chinese skills, unless you are hired in the USA and then sent here. Keep in mind if you do come to teach, be prepared to be lied to, cheated, and abused. There are tens of thousands of people already here that can do the same thing and you can easily be replaced. You really want to talk about it, I'd be willing to have a more in depth phone or email chat about the pros and cons of living here, but remember the grass always looks greener on the other side.don line there are always jobs for English speaking peoples in China.
Is that true? -
B, as for the job situation that sucks. Been there before myself and it seems bleak but you will pull thru. As for the behavior, I'll be honest it doesn't look any different than it has for the last year+. You've gotten to be the overbearing know it all that few can stand and fewer yet will call friend. Sorry if I sound like a dick but your issues are taking over your life both real and virtual. Like it or not you need to get yourself help, and yes you whine against it but that may involve meds. Obviously your seaweed and quiche diet, or however you are holistically trying to treat yourself isn't working. It's time to go big or go home, you either want to be fixed or you just want to continue to use it as an excuse for being an obnoxious ass on a regular basis. As someone who was able to call on you for game advice in the past, get yourself well before the few people that still care walk away because even if they care, they will give up if you don't care.

Just do it. Put on your big boy pants and do it. We all have to step outside our comfort zones once in a while & I tend to think of those times as personal growth experiences.

At viper. I'm not going to argue meds right now. But thus not really a viable choice for me. That's all I'll say there

If you apply the same emphasis you have to turfwars to the rest of your life...you can do anything. I echo Vipers comments and wish you the best in this time of stress.

Your own call, self medicate yourself right into an asylum or worse. These people are the professionals you obviously are not. But when you shoot down viable answers one after another stop crying in the damn forums, there are plenty of people in the game with pressures and problems worse than yours but they pull themselves up by their bootstraps and do what needs be done. They don't ask for input then go "oh no, not that. I don't wanna get better that much". Do what you want, I wash my hands of the mess you have become. Later all.At viper. I'm not going to argue meds right now. But thus not really a viable choice for me. That's all I'll say there

This is SO true.
I lost my job earlier this year after 5 years there, and i thought I would be the last guy they would lay off, considering the time I had in the job and the money spent on training. I was blown away we I was told I being laid off...but what choice did i have? So I left, and posted my resume and pounded the pavement for three months until I found another job that was closer to where I live and even though its less money, I can care for my kid and my dogs. Now, i can see that being laid off was the best thing that happened to me; my old job was poisoning me and I could not see that. B, trust me, this pain goes away and things get better! -
Nm viper. I feel officially rock bottomed. I'm cool with meds or anything to make it stop. Personal costs aren't really an issue. If it means gaining 300 pounds and havin the intelligence of a pea which it more than likely does so be it. Anything is better than the last few days

If you can get out of your US box and travel, there are all sorts of jobs in Asia that are not just teaching English, as the recession has not hit here. Take Malaysia, for example - the population is probably not much bigger than LA County - yet they are pouring mega billions into a shitload of projects. I don't know what field you are in, but you have a good brain. Social life is excellent here, and the cost of living is a fraction of back home. You can return to the US when things have improved there.

Good luck chief
