Hi @Sophia1 Thanks for thinking of me.
You said: "I am sorry that it has taken nearly a week to respond.
I have been unwell and had draining experiences with medical appointments...something that I know you are only too familiar with.."
I am very sorry that you've had to deal with that.
Yes I am far too familiar with that (similar) myself.
I have not been able to respond to emails, phone calls, post on forums - Or virtually anything, for some days or several weeks in fact (right now currently).
So yes I do feel similar.
Overwhelm + physical & mental exhaustion - Caused by continuing pressures that never seemed to stop.
Over 20 hours of Compulsory Online Safety & Work Site Induction Training Modules (so far) - 24 hours (3 full days) of Full-Time Traffic Management Course & Assessments.
Failing the Practical (3rd day) Assessment (8 hours) - with good grounds for official Descrimination Complaint (Discrimination against 2 Students with Disability)(1 plus myself) - Has only increased the pressure.
The Prac Assessment (full 8 hour day) had been Re-Booked (after failing) for tomorrow, Wednesday 20th October (one week after I failed).
Having reached a state of physical exhaustion & continued overwhelm - & being faced with having to drive 40Km at 7.00am to an unknown Training Location (not 7Km away from home where I failed)
This Prac Assess has now been cancelled, just late this afternoon (at my request &/ or agreement).
Prac Assessment has been Re-Booked (now) for next week, Thursday 28th October (still 40Km drive away).
With average Length 12 hour Work Shifts (which used to be Illegal) - It's still unclear as to whether I can function effectively in this Job Role (Traffic Management) for anywhere near the length of a 12 hour (Maximum 16 hours) Work Shift.
Sorry for Length of Post - I'm exhausted, cannot type/ write anymore (to explain).
All the Best,
Hugs (((Sophia))))
