Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I'm ok. Made a big change with my family and moved after a residence permit was approved to another country (2+ year process). Starting over isn't the right term, maybe learning to adult? Everything is just a little different, so I find myself lost or confused on everything from the grocery store, to the market, to norms on crossing the street. It's overwhelming.

Applying for jobs has been, well, bad like everywhere else. So much ghosting or emails that start with "Thank you for applying..." or "With over 100 candidates..." and you can take it from there.

Hang in there. You are going to make it. This is only temporary.

Thank you. I just needed to read that.
