Yea, I was offered a promotion to be foreman for the subcontractor I was working for, That was the quickest and sternest no I’ve ever given. Fuck that, never in a million years, you could offer me all the money in the world and the answer would still be fuck no and fuck you.

I’m actually back at school, not because I necessarily wanted to, but 187kg of MaK 32A piston fell from above and fucked my back and crushed my right leg, so I didn’t really have a choice. But at least I can study with a monthly payout comparable to my old salary.

    Oh shit, I’m so sorry you got injured. That sounds brutal. Still, thats great you’ve got money coming in while you retrain. I’m going the starving student for a bit, just till after Christmas anyways. I’m learning GIS and mapping with drones, what are you taking?

    I we the same person? I am literally doing the same thing.

    yea, my physical injuries sucked, but that was peanuts compared to my mental health. When they were about to move me from the engineroom, the paramedics injected me with gods combo of Fentanyl and Ketamine for the pain, but that gave me a psychosis that I’m still dealing with today.

    Whaaa? No way?! Though I do think there’s something related with boat people and maps/geography. I know at least three people in the industry with geography degrees. I’m loving it, every day I’m excited to learn new things and make beautiful maps. It’s a welcome change to waking up dreading the day. Though that had more to do with my work management than the actual work.

    Yeah that will fuck you up for sure. Godspeed on steady progress to more stable mental health.
