Potassium and water react.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m as volatile as potassium with water, and more up and down than the most dedicated hillwalker. Because of this, managing my emotional state can be tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve had a rough time recently. And coming out of it is taking longer than one would wish for. Two very big and related issues at present are extreme exhaustion and near total lack of motivation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it\u2019s nice to think back to times not too long ago, when I was happy<\/a>. Every now and then, I\u2019m getting moments of contentment, again. And sometimes even outright happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anxiety is another factor that inhibits either equilibrium or happiness. And I\u2019ve recently had plenty of it, for various reasons. One of which was the result of my car breaking down whilst working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was awful!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that the reason this fell out the way it did was that I didn\u2019t call through the breakdown to the Amazon Flex support line during my shift<\/em>. I reported it immediately – or so I thought – via the app. And phoned it in the following day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Flex no like-ee! And it went down on record as a \u2018terms of service violation\u2019. Which is bizarre, as it wasn\u2019t that at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s more like it. Back to perfection!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had a week or so without work whilst my car was fixed. And have been back at work now about a week. Every day I\u2019ve been checking my Dashboard\/Standing. Hoping for and expecting to see an upturn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, today, it\u2019s happened. Phew! What a relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOOTNOTE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
How strange!?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An intriguing footnote to this anxiety inducing episode is that Amazon appear to have expunged it altogether! How odd. It\u2019s as if it never happened<\/em>. I find that bizarre. But I\u2019m glad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
