      To be fair, I did find a site yesterday that seems to sense most of what you enter in and insert the information. I proofread it and it mostly got it all in there right, saving me several minutes of my life. Every employer that says you should apply online should have this "resume sense" feature.

        Took a hiatus from the forums for a bit. Went to the doctors the other day since my mood was very bad. Got diagnosed with severe depression and possible light dementia. The doctor didn't give me anything for it since he told me "The idea of taking pills to change your mood might make the situation worse. Be proactive and do positive things." So I take it that's a way of him telling me "Don't worry be happy." Just the feeling of being this way is just making me feel like crying man. I hope I don't turn into one of those depressive people that pull everyone else down. Anyone have any tips for something like this?

          I don't have any really. All of mine are personal. I recognize my triggers now and I can (for the most part) avoid them.

          My eyes hurt from staring at two weeks worth of updates that weren't done by Boss Lady or her new Butt Boy, I was asked to come in tonight on my day off to work for a few hours, five hours later I'm still not done but my eyes are crossing and it's time to step away from it.

          But the more of her work I do, the more I continue to prove to her that she fucked up. So I'll put up and shut up, I guess.

            Peeve: Fluttershy isn't coming to scale on Minecraft....getting a bit sad now.

            Yeah. When you do work like that it tends to show who can get it done and who can't. The fact that they call you in shows your can get the work done. Sure you have words but you keep them along the side of that little demon that probably wants to massacre everyone where you work. I won't be going back into work, my boss called me and told me due to my diagnosis I should take three days off. He told me that I would be getting paid so I am not refusing a small vacation. He wants me to be in the correct mental state before dealing with customers.

              I know from experience that that is Human Resource speak for "We already filled this position internally. Fuck off back to your tenement, peasant."

              You would be surprised as to how many employers admit it or are stumped if you call them out on it.

                Hey FW. Did you see my post on the Anti-Peeve? Did some work in Minecraft, you might like it. I'll post something up there later I guess.

                Peeve: Yeah. Scaling on the picture's grid is off, so I spent well over 2 hours now making this for nothing. I have to now erase everything and see if I can find a proper template for Fluttershy or another pony to make on Minecraft. Since you can't just import stuff on the 360 edition. I might postpone her and start working on Link from LoZ.

                    You put a smile on my face Feba. Thank you. I also never noticed, but the expression on the Pizza Hut guys face is that from a...comic strip type thing? He looks like he's horrified or saw something he wish he hadn't. Also do you want me to doodle you anything in Minecraft?

                      I don't really remember where it came from anymore, basic premise was pizza guy opens door to find hot chick/naked loli/vore or something else of that nature.

                      nothing I can think of.

                      and anyway I just came in here to say: Trying to go to bed early, so you can get some extra sleep and still be up early the next day, only for your body to decide that 9PM is a good time for a power nap.

                          He went to sleep at nine, but wasn't able to stay asleep. Sometimes it's nice to slip in a few extra hours, but all too often I'm internal clock-blocked.

                              I work at a Hotel. I'm one of the receptionist. But as I mentioned before, I wanted the job over at human resources as Head Sec. But the spot got filled. I went to the Doctor's last Friday since I was on the verge of "thinking" suicide. Not performing the act of it. I went in Sunday for a Neuropsychological Evaluation and I showed signs for depression and light dementia. I spoke to him about my childhood (which I won't get into) and he kinda pitied me....which bugged me a bit. I don't like pity, and he told me to give a note to my boss. Come Monday handed the note in, boss looked it over. "Melody go home." He gave me a stern look like he had seen my type of case before. Told me to take three days off and if need be a week. The first 3 days would be paid but the last two wouldn't. So...since then I've been home 2/3 days. Tomorrow I'll be going back to work to see if I've improved at all. Since in the past I've screamed at some of my co-workers which I did apologize for but I had no real recollection of why I had screamed at them. They said I ramble on to myself (and I do) speak to myself out loud sometimes when I'm irritated or in this case bored. I ended up getting the nickname "Ms. Mad Hatter" from a friend of mine who works with me. I'm trying to figure out the trigger to these outburst.

                              I got told to not think about anything depressing and that having pills to moderate my mood would make me feel worse. The act of knowing that I am taking the pills would make my condition worse (which I agree) and so he told me to do something positive and constructive which is why I took up Minecraft.

                              As for your question, I deal with hotel patrons who are usually jet-lagged/tired etc. So they're not much for talking, but I do get the occasional talkative type.

                                Buh, you need a new doctor. It seems to me like he/she was very dismissive and even minimized your problems, which is a sign of a bad doctor. If anything, he may have made the situation worse. Being on a medication is fine and it shouldn't make you feel any worse to have a prescription. People are resilient, but sometimes the pressure is too much and they begin to spiral downward. If you feel like your attempts to improve are having no effect, it's best to be preventative and locate a real professional. Once you're feeling back on your feet, you wean yourself off the medication, put it all behind, and move forward knowing you've a solution if it should ever arise again.
