I spent a lot of time being upset and disappointed in myself when I got laid off but sometime last month I started taking skating lessons from a cheap instructor I found on FB marketplace. It's been such a great new addition to my life, to learn and experience this kind of movement. I start a job next week and now I wish I started doing this earlier than I did instead of sulking. I guess this is a reminder to others on the bowl to make the best use of your time off and not waste time feeling down because the up is eventual and inevitable.

Love this!!!!!!

Talk about getting handed lemons and making lemonade! That's awesome, good for you for trying to find a silver lining. Are you doing figure skating or roller skating? I actually bought a pair of roller skates on a whim last year and of course haven't touched them since. It seems like it could be fun and good exercise, but I'm a little scared of breaking an ankle 😂. I'm not as graceful as I used to be.

Love this! Thanks for this, it was the perfect post for me today because I just found out I'm getting laid off. Congratulations on your new job.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
