I am pretty sure that would just give you mad cow and make things even worse.

My kitchen is now mopped also. If you can pay travel expenses I will totes clean your house amarantinesky, but last time I went return flights to the states were about $1000 so it might be cheaper to find a local ladygoon

Ask your doctor if it's the kind of capsule you could cut open and shot the inner bits, if that's more palatable. I think sometimes the capsules have a purpose in stopping your body from absorbing it too soon so def ask first.

Oh another thing that you probably already know but sometimes people dont know things and you never know until you try telling them, sitting the pills under your tongue and drinking water has some involuntary movement that makes you kick up and swallow them.

You all posted too much while I was cleaning.

Assorted responses to talking points:

-Thyroid disorders are lots more common in women and often undiagnosed because the symptoms are just a mess of things that can fit other more common problems and are only properly revealed in specific blood tests that often aren't done until you're already well outside the desireable limits and pursued everything else. The way I explained it to my SIL the other night was imagine the master conductor of an orchestra is conducting at the wrong tempo, everything is effectively being thrown out but some instruments will be more noticeable than others. It's even more fun when you're autoimmune because the thyroid can go in fits and burst of proper/high/low function.

-I'm glad the under the tongue trick worked! I take these like horse sized multivitamins and another fat vitD/Calcium supplement and I can do them both together with the tongue trick.

-Taking your thyroid meds forever isn't a hugely big deal, IMO, but I was on birth control most of my life successfully also so, like, taking a teeny tiny pill in the morning every morning is no biggie. Also I have mastered pill swallowing with this one neat trick the doctors don't want you to know about. I guess it's annoying that I can't eat breakfast immediately but I was never a breakfast person.

-There have been points in my life where my anxiety got so bad if I went to the mall and heard kids laughing I'd automatically assume it was about me. I have really vivid memories particularly of being younger and mum sending me to get McDonalds for the family and worrying that everyone was laughing at me because they thought I was going to eat all the food myself.

i hated my job

hated hated hated it

now i'm not working and it's hard to apply for jobs when you have to fill out bullshit applications like that one jetsetlemming posted up there (for school obviously but same drat thing) and also you don't want to work because work is bullshit

so it's like "please let me work for your terrible company that will make me hate my life i'll be awesome i promise oh god i need a drink"

:respek:

I just did 2 poo poo house job applications featuring "What? No, no I don't have an education, nooope" because I am stuck in this inglorious hole between my over qualification and inexperience (I worked for a call centre for 7 years while I hosed around and went to uni to get proper clever). Every now and then I get inspired to transfer all my over qualification into stuff like coordinators and trainers and team leaders, but there isn't enough of that sort of thing so at some point eventually I have to say "Okay, today is the day I have to be an enthusiastic idiot for some jobs that won't call me back either". And now I am eating a double chocolate muffin for breakfast because failure begets failure.

I will hire you to just say "proper clever" periodically throughout the day.

I will sing it to the beat of the Bubble Butt song and, given enough time, will develop a dance to go with it. I don't know if that's worthy of a raise or a warning in your books but I will probably have a good time regardless.


I got inspired to finish an application for a Big Girl Job that basically involved writing 3 pages about the ways I am or could conceivably develop myself to be proper clever. I am already getting a little bit psyched that I could do it well and leave the house every day with a plucky grin and a professional but cute outfit and stop draining my savings account and start bumping it back up again and they won't call, if for no other reason than because the salary is at least 15k p.a. above what I'd expect to be getting paid as a graduate in my actual field and 30k higher than my previous salary so there is bound to be more qualified and experienced applicants

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK the DEECD rejection autobot I just got rejected from 2 jobs within 2 minutes. It must send out despair on a chronjob. Apparently I am loving useless as a teacher and I don't even know why because I did so well on rounds and I even got a couple of interviews early last year, even though they were for short term leave replacements, but now I get nothing. I feel like I have wasted another year of my life and another loving $15k in university fees that I will never ever pay off because I'll never ever earn enough to make it all go away.

I am overreacting slightly today because I got another one this morning from one of the shithouse jobs. I'm surprised they rejected me so quickly. Not overly offended because it apparently had some finance certification requirement not listed on the job ad but it still adds to the growing list of organisations whose professional evaluation of me was "LOL NOPE".

I played Duolingo today and learned parce que quoi and I feel like just slamming that into the rest of my future communications with the job market. BECAUSE WHAT BITCH.

Last night the lady in charge of my volunteering thing asked me where I was from. Apparently my accent doesn't sound Australian. Now I'm worried what I sound like.

I get that all the time. I roll my r's, apparently, the best word as evidence is "bear" because I say with an almost American accent. I think it's either because of too much tv as a child or it's the family tendency towards autism spectrum disorders. When I say that I mean I am diagnosed with nothing but an odd personality but my cousin is full aspergin' and he has a particular way of speaking with an almost American twinge that I have also noticed in other autistic kids. I don't know if that's really a thing or just some odd confirmation bias but maybe one of the Lady Thread PhDs can study it.

edit: I guess phonetics would help, Australians would normally say Bear like "Beh" I say "Bey-hr"
