Am I stressed out ???

[primera man]

Well it's time to spill the beans.
I've thought about if i should be posting this for a while now, but never did, as i thought i could sort this out.

Now i'm not the kind of person to load all my problems on to others. I like to sort things out in my own kinda stupid way, but for the last 2-3 months I feel as though my whole life kinda sucks.

It started when work decided to make some cut backs to staff etc. Our company got sold and we were told that changes would be made to staff numbers etc etc.

In the first week of December we were told they would be here to tell us what was going to happen. The wankers turned up and said they well tell us on January18th after we sit at a 2 hour meeting. Then yesterday they change the date to the 25th.

Now i feel as though i've had enough of this fuckin crap. Is this there way of getting people so pissed off or stressed out, they want to leave so they dont have to force people out ???

For 20 years i've put up with job loses to all my good work mates, and seen plenty of people come and go.

I feel this is really affecting my job as i really dont give a fuck about it at the moment which is not like me. I feel as though they have dragged me down far enough to tell them to get fucked and stick there job were the sun dont shine

If i did leave i'd get a good pay out(about a years wages for service i have), but it's finding another job that payes so bloody well like this one , and deep down i really do like my job.

Then of course with all this going on, my sleep has turn to crap thinking about things.
Being tired makes me fucked off with other things which means i then get pissed off with the Primera lady(wife) which cause's fighting etc etc between the two of us.
I snap at the kids for the smallest of things which then upsets them.

I cant really be bothered with anything.
My car looks like crap because......cant be bothered with it.
I've put on about 6kg in weight as i've given up training and just eating shit food.
Dont even mention sex as i cant be bothered with that either......someone help me please !!!!!
Fuck...I'm getting to the stage i cant even be bothered coming to AF to post
I'm normanly a very tidy person around the house, doing little jobs here and there, but not anymore.

As most of you know i took a week off to piss off from things, but after 2 days back at work its just the same again......Same shit, just a different day .

So you all get the picture. Thats just a little bit about how i feel about things at the moment.

Well i feel abit better now that i've got that off my chest.
Maybe in a few days when i find out whats happening i'll feel alot better.
Thanks for reading my stupid thread

Cheers

Things will get better for you Pman. It’s always the same, when one thing goes wrong, EVERYTHING starts to go wrong. It’s like someone out there just wants to see just how far they can push you. Me and moondog had the same thing last year. He bought a new Skyline, got it all checked out by the AA who said it was great, so we bought it and then the next day the damn thing just dies. It was in at the mechanics for 2 ½ months!!!! I won’t bore you will all the details, but let’s just say at the end of it, the car dealers turned into a pack of wankers and refused to pay for the repairs even though they’d Okd it every step of the way! Then my car needs to go in for a simple repair and comes out costing $1,000!!! It just went on and on and on until you just wonder if it’s really all worth it. Life can really suck sometimes, but trust me it does get better. You go through a stage where everything turns around and starts to go right and that’s the best damn feeling in the world!

Cheer up Pman, it’ll all turn out right in the end.

Thanks SLF/FTO.

Yeah i know things will get better but i've never been like it for so long. Usually i snap out of it in a hour or two as thats just the way i am

[ragt20]

hey P-man hope things get better for ya soon....

[KatWoman]

I am in kinda one of those "my life sucks" ruts too. Every year I get a decent raise at my job but it seems that so does the balance on all my bills...so I am always just eeking out at the end of each month. I like my job for the most part and most of the people I work with, which is what keeps me there....but I do get burned out on filing, running around, being everyone else's lil gopher. Somedays I feel like God has damned me to a life of always being stuck in one spot while everyone else around me moves on to bigger and better things. I have a friend who's younger and makes over 3 times my salary...and everytime I turn around something else good happens for him. Promotion here, raise there, bonus for this or that..blah blah. But he is a very good person, works hard, and deserves all those goodies I continue to do my computer studies at home, but get so burnt out on that and then find out there's ONE MORE program I have to learn and it just feels like neverending shit. Then I get stressed and crabby and it effects my family and even the poor dog...animals can pick up on when things suck for you too

I think we all go thru it at some point in life...some of us longer than others. But when it does happen to us it feels like a God-forsaken eternity.

Hope things turn out for the better for ya PM....keep us posted.

PMan... Try taking the pup for a walk or just hugging the kiddo's for no reason. Doing something like that takes little time and seeing their gratification often can make you feel better. I'm sure that letting it out helped for starters, as well. Just keep breathing. Try to sit down just before bed time and say something that went well that day. If nothing went better than expected, then something that went just according to plan. I hope that you will soon be able to see the bright side of the tunnel soon!

I know how you feel, I have just pulled out of a rough patch in my life, like the termination of my contract with ASB, my car being damaged, my house was a pig-sty, I put on wieght, and had trouble sleeping.

But don't worry everything will look up in the end, like it did for me, for example I am leaving godzone in May to enter a high-paying job in Switzerland (Further details when I get them), my car returned looking better than it did when I had just bought it, I cleaned up my house snd dropped 4kg, all you need to do is take up a positive attitude

[Towlie]

if a series of events can go wrong, they will go wrong in the worse possible order

[taranaki]

Mate,I sympathise.PM me any time.

[darkness]

Yeah things do go shitty for a while.

my car just did a clutch and it needs a service. So it's going to cost me around $1500 which will put me broke for a while. So i'm pissed about that. And this was right about christmas, so I've still got bills from christmas.

Best thing to do, take it on the chin, put you head down and push forward. It gets you out the other side quicker and things will get better.

[primera man]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Just a small up date on things here.

Had our meeting to day and to keep this short and sweet, its going to be a rough ride for the next few weeks

We have 20 staff employed in my area and they are cutting back to only 12 to do even more or the same work.
We do a 24/7 coverage of all shifts at the moment and are streached to the limit already. These fuckin clowns have not even been to see how we operate....they just look up there little figures on there fucked up computer in there fucked up offices....200km away in another town with out seeing how things work

More stress.....thats all i'm really going to say as i'm to fuckin pissed off to say any more

PRIMERA MAN IS IN ONE FOUL FUCKIN MOOD TONIGHT.

[Spec2 Girl]

I really hope things get better for you soon Pman. I really do.

[taranaki]

Management sucks.Especially the twats with business degrees and ACT membership cards.I feel for you mate,as you know,I've had a similar year.Glad to see you made the cut....Pity about the wankers with flat butts who think they know how to fix locos though.

Perhaps they will get the message when dead DC's start piling up in the yard.I assume that you still have access to railways-issue sand?and do diesel loco's still have oil-filled motors,gearboxes etc?

If you can't fix'em,fuck'em! hopefully,next time I'm in Palmy,I can go to the bottom of the garden at my mate's Leeds Road house and see a good long rake of mobile sea anchors.....Who knows,if you do a decent job of doing them in,Tranzrail may have to resort to rounding up the last of the steamers..........Now that I would like to see!

Seriously,mate stick with it...the whizz-bang managers who dream up these idiotic staffing levels soon find it bites them in the arse.Meantime,don't go knocking yourself out trying to meet these dickheads' demands,if you do what they want too soon,they will only shift the goalposts again.
