If by younger, you mean two years younger than now, them I have a story that is applicable in regards to my career.
Got fired from my first job in my field (IT, specifically tech support/help desk.) The firing was unexpected and done in a Tuesday afternoon with zero warning. I wasn’t given and kind of formal write-ups and had been getting great performance reviews. I was crushed. The reasoning that my boss told me was that “I wasn’t learning fast enough.” Which was absolute bullshit because I was left alone to run the department on a regular basis. I did all of my tasks and did them well and users loved me.
I suspect I was the fall guy for all the failing projects my boss was implementing. They cost far more money than he said they would. I believe I was fired so he wouldn’t get a pay cut.
I was absolutely heartbroken and considered going into another field entirely, after fighting my way through the rampant sexism in college and in job hunting. The first tech job I applied to after being fired (three days later), called me almost immediately after I applied. I did a phone interview and was then asked to do a practical interview the next day. I did well enough to get offered the job before I had finished the half hour drive home.
I make so much more money now, have great benefits, and I am respected and encouraged to grow. This job is absolutely incredible.
My grandmother says getting fired from my previous job was the best thing that happened to my career and I agree with her.
The emotional damage getting fired like I did has given me crippling anxiety that my therapist likens to that of PTSD, but without some of the PTSD symptoms. I’m getting treatment for it, and I’m at the stage where it’s getting worse before it gets better.
I had an hour long panic attack when I had to tell my boss that a doctor told me to take a week off to recover from an injury that wasn’t healing right and hindering my daily life. My boss wasn’t pleased and told me my attendance will need to be near perfect because I have already missed a lot (I have.) I’m not worried about getting fired anymore, so I haven’t panicked since, but I do get flare ups of anxiety. I get to go back and face everyone on Tuesday and hope that I won’t have to talk about it face to face because I will end up panicking then.
I’d say “what the fuck” but I’m not even surprised that he said this. Bro is scum.
Worked at a place where the average age of the people in charge was 80. Oldest person making decisions was 95. I hated it
It honestly depends on the horse. Some are easy to break, train, and ride and others are not. This guy is only partially trained, so he gives me a bit of a hard time when I’m in the saddle. He just wants to do whatever lol.
Omg it was lol

I was outside in 96F yesterday herding my ducks for 10 mins and my whole night was ruined because I got so sick from the heat.
Idk how people who work outside constantly do it
I live in Pa, so our weather isn’t crazy hot like the south. I can’t imagine the weather where you’ve lived. 85F is my upper limit. Anything over makes me feel like I’m going to die.
Got in my car after work yesterday and it was 102F inside. It was awful
It is! I also get riding lessons on a different horse when funds allow the luxury expense.
I adore horses. Had them for most of my childhood. I wanted to get back into it because I knew it’d be good for my mental health. I’m doing this 100% for my own sanity lol. I work a high stress job, so hanging out with the horses is the ultimate way for me to relax. The people are cool, too. I don’t know many of them yet, though.
I volunteer at a stables a few times a week for funsies.
I think the farrier is due to come out soon
Legally, yes. Emotionally, no.
She can’t eat apples because she has bad teeth. I’ll give he the best grass though
Her teeth are bad so she can’t eat carrots. I take her to graze on the best grass though lol
She’s an appy as far as I know. She was rescued from a kill pen, so we have absolutely no info about her
I don’t, unfortunately.
