My most devastating opponent is myself
What are your biggest challenges?

ISO: emotional support extrovert
If humans had taglines, what would yours be? Jayjay: The worst best friend you could befriend, but please befriend her anyways. I am a garbage friend. That’s probably why I don’t have any. It’s that combination of the adult-adhd-object-permanence-forgetting-that-the-people-you-don’t-see-still-exist thing and the being-such-an-introverted-hermit-that-you-haven’t-left-the-house-in-a-month thing, probably. I try. Really, I do. But eventually I go a…

Hahaha. “Plan.”
What is your career plan? Dude, I’m a 44-year-old high school dropout who spent most of her “career-building” years homeschooling her kids. I’ve been with my current employer for 9 years and I have extended medical benefits and an RRSP. I’m pretty sure this is the pinnacle for me. I was ready to go back…

I am the behavioral problem
The fastest way to ensure I never do something a 2nd time is to give me positive reinforcement the 1st time. The VP of our division complimented me on a report I wrote today and I’m ready to quit my job and flee the country. Mind you, the 2nd fastest way is to give me…

Peacing out and then violencing back in
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? I think I might try to move. My job will let me live anywhere in Canada. I miss the ocean terribly but I sure can’t afford to move back to the west one so I might give the east a try. The…

There will probably be tears.
Write about your approach to budgeting. I. Hate. Dealing. With. Finances. I am fully capable of budgeting, and I do, but dealing with it is quite literally the biggest stressor in my life. It outweighs dealing with a painful lifelong disability. It regularly brings me to tears. I would honestly rather have someone take all…

Unsubscribe me from my responsibilities
Do you need a break? From what? I’ve done the things. All the things good little adults are supposed to do. I got married. I had kids. I raised them to adulthood. They both graduated high school without giving me any grandbabies. I resigned myself to living in a place I don’t like to accommodate…
