It seems that perfectionism rules these days...but wait a minute we are all human. So what do you do about it?

there is no such thing as perfection, everything in life is only 99,95% even the chance of being a father lol.

I'm not really sure what you mean, Opti - do you mean "how do you cope with unreasonable expectations being placed on you?" Or do you mean "How do you cope with things not meeting your perfectionist standards"?

Ah! well, the way I see it, you can only do your very best and if that is not good enough, well you cant improve on it. We used to judge each others welds visually, but then again the X-Ray or U/T report told us what it was like on the inside, as if it was a high pressure line, perfection is what was required
Smudger.

I might not be perfect, but I'm the next best thing

Lets just say I'm not cut out for office work .......but I've other strengths

question,?
-
do you want a job, or do you need the money,
-
if the first then stick to what your good at, as far as you think.
-
if two,
-
then there is always places looking for someone, ie shelfstackers in a supermarket, if you can add and subtrack, they want people on the tills.
-
burger places want staff all the time. and think of all the free ones you can get lol. only kidding.
-
you have to decide, is it the job or do you need the pennies in the pocket for now. jim xx

The latter of the two would be nice.
A dream job, that doesn't mean rolling dice
For I don't perceive myself to be lucky
As I broke a mirror, leaving myself to not feel plucky

Trouble is I don't know what
or if I do then where to look
Whether it will be found in a book
or perhaps its already been took

I know this poem may seem a bit but I'm trying to lighten things up a little and still keep the meaning flowing.

hi opi

just to say your not on your own
-
i have a lady on here and who i phone at times, and she as been trying to even get a job in markets, shops, burger places, and she said some want you to fill a sych test out to.

for reminding me

I've been told to get some training but I'm conscious that will lead to more debt and theres so many courses out there I haven't a clue where to start.

hi opi
-
i have a mate thats working part time as a cleaner for now, and he as enrolled in an advanced course on the pc, as he as a trde of sorts, and the pc will be part of it now.
-
its part of the local colledge, and as he is only working part time, and basically unemployed, he signs on but declares it,
-
the course is free. so if you have a colledge near you, look into the advanced courses,
