Yes you know what is best for you @Zoe7 & ultimately it’s your choice. Medication seems to often be such a conundrum entailing the lesser of two evils or working out the greater good (eg. Your morning tiredness). I presume you’ve considered taking the higher dose earlier in the evening to avoid the morning drowsiness? I’m not happy about 2 of my current medications but I think I just need to accept it especially whilst sorting out employment & avoiding further changes when unemployed. Strangely last night I saw an ad for Coordinator Consumer Participation- inclusive services team (mental health). I’d be interested & well qualified (actually over-qualified) for that govt job but I don’t seem to even get shortlisted for them probably due to  this region being sought after & other factors that remain a confounding mystery to me. The 2 interviews this Friday are aged care which I’m not enamoured about but thanks for your good wishes @Zoe7. For a job I really do want as a Health Trainer with high schoolers & adults, I spoke to the manager then submitted an application but he just emailed me back this Monday saying “thanks for sending this through”. I reckon I’ll ring him back in a couple of weeks as there was no cut-off date & he may just be waiting for more people to apply or do you think that’s counterproductive?  Hey @MDT & @TAB job seeking is a bit of a mine field I think so let’s hope none of us lose a limb!

 @Shaz51 is Mr Shaz feeling any different ie better?

@TAB What’s with the blank message?! 

[TAB]

..umm ,... asu pporting  ..you u .. ???? 

[TAB]

uh yeh think just lost a few limbs there wtff

[Zoe7]

I think ringing in a couple of weeks shows your interest in the position @Sam3 and is a good idea. The worst that can happen is you are told your application was unsuccessful. 

I slept straight through for 6 hours last night and while that isn't ideal it is better than the broken sleep I have been getting. Needing to get myself moving though and get some things done today.

Such a busy day again @Shaz51 - you deserve a day off tomorrow.

It is great you could re-schedule your mum's appointment - hope she goes to this one.

Sorry you were up in the middle of the night again - but glad there were others here to keep you company.
