#man that job broke me

[star-anise]

It's been a hot minute since I looked at Canada's National Occupation Classification system. I learned about it when studying career counselling in grad school, and it's pretty useful in terms of job-hunting and getting information on what different types of jobs require and pay.

A friend asked me for advice about becoming a therapist so I went and looked. They redid it since I last visited, and oh man there are some chef's kiss decisions.

There are 9 top-level categories, with 1 being legislative and senior management, 5 being arts, culture, and sport, and 9 being manufacture and utilities. So I was looking for my old job's classification, which used to be 4153 - Family, marriage and other related counsellors. Knowing that made searching the government job bank really easy back in the day, because instead of searching "counsellor" "counselor" "psychotherapist" "mental health therapist" "clinical counsellor" etc etc etc to find them all, I just typed "4153" and hit enter.

Anyway, they redid the system and now that job is parked at 41301 - Therapists in counselling and related specialized therapies. Here's the tree to get there:

Cool cool cool. It's tidier, even if the occupations are still a bit messy. (When I dropped out of the field, the different counselling subdivisions were tapping their toes impatiently waiting for the provincial government to let them form their own professional regulatory college. Which still has not happened. Last week my shrink said he'd got an email from the College of Psychologists announcing that it would be gathering all the smaller counselling fields into its own downy breast instead. I have no idea what's happening anymore.)

Anyway. I scrolled down to another job I once worked and HAHA WHAT

Yes. There are only three sub-units of category 44:

Nannies:

In-home caregivers:

And,

Combat specialists

I find this grouping of professions hilarious, appropriate, and deeply validating. No notes. 🧑‍🍳👌💋

#staranise original #advice on therapisting #that was the job I still have a scar on my arm from #i badgered my supervisor to death to get that fucking gentle self-defense course because of now unsafe it felt sometimes #man that job broke me #only good thing about that year was my cat and nacho movie night with my roommates #here's to never having to live that year again #sláinte and amen

Zhu Yilong’s reactions to OTRF Author Yu Hua (Laoshi) praising his acting, his character, his dedication, and saying he’s a true artist. [X]

#it is really high praise when the author says you did a great job on his creation of Ma Zhe #ZYL is that type of actor that has this ability to take a book character & bring them to life so accurately like they were made for him #idk if you can see but when Long Ge gets embarrassed & shy his ears & neck turn pink xD he’s just that cute #tw flashing lights #zhu yilong #朱一龙 #I gotta side with Yu Laoshi on this one like he was incredible like I will travel and almost go broke to watch you in this film #my gifs #only the river flows #ma zhe #I joke about Ma Zhe being this old man who is really hot and he is but in all seriousness he’s one of his best roles #meanwhile the director was like okay but what about me? lmao you did amazing the film is excellent #please stand by for the queue #source weibo

'Torture doesn't work.'

'Depends on the torture. Depends on the man.'

I just finished watching "The Experimental Job" and I just really want to point out how well they have shown Eliot and Alec being two sides of one coin. It's obviously not just in this episode- its through the whole series. But it really shows how well they are and how much they mean to each other. What this episode expletivdoes show is; how much both Hardison and Eliot handle torture.

Like, you have Hardison being placed as an up and coming grunt for a college secret society. Who got his in by using his computer skills. By standing up to Nate. He works his way through rush week. Being taunted and forcing to impress these college students. Having to fake his way up the ladder.

On the flip side you have Eliot. Playing a homeless vet. Struggling underneath a university building. Forced to listen to loud music, freezing, and being taunted. He has to deal with a psychologist who is too arrogant to see that he's getting played. When threatened, Eliot had to remind himself what his role was. He allowed himself to get shocked.

And towards the end? When he heard that Hardison was taken? I wondered if he was thinking back to Hardison being buried alive. Eliot couldn't allow himself to let that happen again.

The boy's are two sides of one coin. Eliot being the muscle and the protector. Hardison the brains and goofy nerd.

#leverage #alec hardison #eliot spencer #the experimental job #this episode hurt me #two sides of one coin #eliot spencer is a softie #alec hardison is a nerd #it depends on the torture #it depends on the man #both the boys went through their own torture #and neither one broke #im so proud of alec #and eliot #eliot is a stubborn #and i love them

when companies send out surveys that are like 'how likely are you to recommend our products to friends and colleagues' and there's a scale from one to ten, they're missing several scales that i would like to tell them about, such as a ten-number scale of 'how likely are you to buy anything from us ever again' and also 'how likely are you to tell friends and colleagues to stay away at all costs' and perhaps most importantly, ten number scale of 'how appealing is the idea of charging into our store with a steel pipe and causing massive property damage'

#these are currently 0 - 8 - and 6 respectively #our old dishwasher broke and i miss her :( #I'm sure this new one is technically better or whatever but he has SO MANY BUTTONS and is SO CONFUSING and i still don' #t know how to get him to do what i want #the old one i could wrangle so well ... dried everything off herself and all ... yes i had to prewash the dishes and #do all sorts of other nonsense but I KNEW IT SO WELL.... #why do my dishes taste like SOAP YOUNG MAN!! #Amnyway thats not the only reason i want to cause big ruckus they were bad at their jobs in general #BUT THE LONGING DOESN'T HELP!! #posts by ME

Kinda pissy bc in my return to work interview (my line manager is on leave so my senior manager did it) she said oooh you've had 7 absences this year that's kind of a lot

but I just looked back through my calendar and I would say actually it's 5 1/2. Cause one I had a PTSD episode at lunchtime and called my boss in tears from my kitchen floor and I was gonna take the remaining 2.5 hours of my day off and work them back later and she was like nah man shut up you're off sick you don't owe anyone that time back. so that was not even a whole day it was like. A longish meeting's worth of time.

but also one illness is recorded as two absences because. and this'll teach me. I had flu but we had a tight deadline so I was off for a day, then came on to work for a day to meet that deadline, then I was off the next day, still with flu. so that's two separate absences. because I came into work when I should have been resting.

so like. Fuck me for trying I guess.

(it's not super relevant cause there's no real unifying condition that needs action. MH episode, migraine, flu, food poisoning, migraine, COVID. and we know about the migraines and have stuff in place to minimise them. It just seems fucked up to me that it counts more against me that I came in in the middle of 2 days of sick leave than that I've been off for a solid week.)

#red said #didn't tell her about the PTSD thing btw that's between me and the Good Manager for just now #i was writing something up and it ended up really worming into my brain and then when i broke for lunch i had a 2 hour panic attack #and i messaged my boss like hey man. can't get off the kitchen floor. will miss the next meeting. and she was like ffs go home. #but other than the ptsd and the migraines these are all viral infections and i don't think 3 viral infections in 8 months is wildly unusual #especially if one of them is COVID #idk i understand that many people get migraines very rarely but 2 work-disrupting migraines in 8 months is actually great for me #when i was in the old flat with the mould and the lack of natural light i was missing about 4 hours a month minimum to migraines #often we're looking at like. biweekly. #migraines Are a disability is the thing and the whole reason i have Teams and email on my phone is bc of how often in part jobs #i have woken up unable to move or sit up because of migraines and needed to call in with minimal movement

Did the full moon make everyone crazy or something this week I feel like I need to stare at a wall for an hour or 2 to heal myself

#at work we had a situation where this woman got robbed #ended up finding out she invited someone to her room and when she was in the shower he took her safe and ran #BUT #we also found out the guy who robbed her is the same guy who had tried checking in that night and said he was a housekeepers brother #to try and get a discount #but the front desk called the housekeeper and was like that’s not my brother???? #and then we found out he stole this woman’s car my housekeeper knows #and he somehow broke into one of our rooms and stayed in it for a night #my maintenance and other housekeeper checked the room someone saw him in because I’m NOT risking my life for this job #luckily he was gone #the weird thing that happened today though was this woman came in and said she had an interview #so I called my manager because she’s not coming in until later today #and she said she didn’t accept any interviews but thought maybe corporate did and just didn’t say anything #so she had me interview her #and I found out while talking to her more that she said my housekeeper #told her about the job and to come in at 12pm for an interivew #and she said rhe same housekeeper the guy had lied and said he was rhe brother too #once the interview was over I asked my housekeeper about it AND SHE DIDNT EVEN TELL RHE WOMAN ABOUT THE JOB #SHE BARELY KNOWS HER #AND ITS THE SAME WOMAN WHO WAS WITH THE MAN WHO LIED ABOUT BEING HER BROTHER #SHE WAS THERE THE NIGHT HE TRIED CHECKING IN #nothing makes sense <3

every so often my depression causes me to impulsively look up my ex best friend and ex boyfriend from high school a million years ago on Facebook and ya know? I always feel better about myself afterwards

#karma is my boyfriend karma is a god! karma's a relaxing thought aren't you envious that for you it's not!!!!!! #they said id be nothing without them ☺️ and my sources tell me they don't have anything really going for them #and like i dont want their lives to suck they're not TERRIBLE people #but i cant help but 🤭 #ex best friend is on her second husband and we're 24/25 years old which isn't necessarily a bad thing #except one mutual friend of ours who only keeps tabs on the ex bff in order to get the tea says that this dude is as shitty as the last #and that he only married her bc shes pregnant #and ex boyfriend WAS engaged a year or so ago but she broke it off 👀👀👀 #which is sad and all but he literally broke up with me out of the blue FIVE TIMES in high school then a few months later gave me puppy eyes #and asked to get back together again and me being a stupid teenager always said yes! #cause karma is the thunder rattling your ground 🤭🤭🤭 #i have less info on his life but from what i do know he's not having a good time #meanwhile im married to a wonderful man and have a stable job i love

does anyone else feel weird/slightly ashamed about having like no savings lol. like idk if its just the Mental Illness but i’m imagining the mechanic asking me why i haven’t had my car serviced since march 2023 and i say ‘because i have no money’ and then i imagine him replying ‘but you have a full time job on the average australian annual income’ and i have to be like ‘but i have no money!’ and then i want to shrivel into a ball. even though this is an imaginary scenario. can anyone hear me

#actually nvm it is the mental illness lmao #i know i’ve had certain circumstances in life which meant i couldn’t save much/at all throughout my early 20s #and i’ve only had a proper full time job for 2 years #and i’m not doing like micro investing or whatever you’re sposed to do at this age #but man i sometimes feel so shit about it :/ #and even if i do have a bit of savings i constantly have to shell out big chunks for shit like car rego #makes me insane #anyway full disclosure i have under $700 in savings atm like i’m not tryna complain about ~only having $2000’ or something #like i am Broke #anyway #life #personal #money
