Still single, not A LOT of friends, but thankfully they have always been there for me. Movies have been a nice way to clean off steam. At the end of October it will be five months without a job. My family has been supporting me, but here in Argentina, it's not an easy situation. Hopefully everything resolves soon.

After working so hard this passed two years after the mindset I was in, finding a job buying a cheap car and finding a place to live I felt like I'd come so far but the job I was in I was greatful they gave me an opportunity but I just didn't feel like it was for me, I worked so hard to get taken on full time and they don't give out many permanent contracts and I really wanted it but later on I realized I just wanted the security that comes with a perm contract but in reality the company had many issues and I knew I no longer wanted to wake up and go there so I looked for something I'd enjoy doing more and knew I could excel in now that my confidence and mental health was improving.
I did what your supposed to and find a job before you leave, it was through an agency as most jobs in the UK in my line of work have are the company's preferred method theses days and to be honest I looked forward getting back to weekly pay as the last 5 months I've struggled switching to monthly with my contract, I think monthly is fine if it's all you have ever known or have enough money in the bank to support the switch but I wasn't, far from it living hand to mouth.
So I started work in my new job two nearly 3 weeks ago and only managed two days training with a women who was sick training us, she said it was flu but turned out to be coronavirus so the people she had been training were put into the corna protocol and told he had to stay off the entire following week unpaid of course, while off last week I was notified that one week off has now changed to two week so first thing to go had to be my PS4 to for gas and electric as iam on a pre pay meter, the country I know are doing there best but I can't get much support as the money the government can give me (which they have increased to a special corna rate) pays my rent, iam at breaking point again now after last night's news that the country is on a 3 week shutdown so I have to go 5 weeks unpaid, tomorrow I will run out of electric, I only have my car left to sell and it's not worth much and will create a problem for when I can return to work, iam not ok mentality, in a dark place actually. I know it's a world crisis but I can only see my world right now and it's crashing down around me.
