@pennynoodles The odds aren't good !
I'm in the process of winding down my client list and passing them on to other folk.
I have two or three solid job offers within the same organization, but i just [i]know[/i] they'll have their own troubles !

Do you think a complete change might do you good? @Picklebobble2

@pennynoodles In truth i think that's what's really needed.
Unfortunately i'm trying to do this crazy 6 day a week job; look after my elderly mother; try and get down to see my father (130 miles away) who is struggling with Alzheimers, as often as possible; as well as trying to see my children and grandkids as often as i can.
Not a good feeling waking up everyday wishing you were somewhere [i]you[/i] wanted to be ! Doing something [i]you[/i] wanted to do !

Aw Mr Pickle, you sound like your life is a bit of a pickle. You must remember to take a little time for yourself though. Easy for me to say, I know but if you're not okay, then you won't be able to sustain all these things that you need to do. @Picklebobble2

@pennynoodles The psych. at work keeps telling me the same !

This is how I describe it.
The people in trouble/need are in the bottom of a pit. You put your whole body in there to help them out and you are then stuck in the pit, too. If you put one leg on the edge of the pit but reach down with your hand, you can help them but you are not stuck down there with them.

@pennynoodles I think we all get given roles in life. Some of us are 'go-getters', some of us are 'Dream followers' and some of us are 'carers'.
The first two are fairly single-minded and go after what they want. Usually at the expense of others.
The 'carers' are the ones who tend to feel guilty !
