Cant settle in my job
i used to be a ship's captain.i was doing quite well but ofcourse i needed to be at sea for extended periods of time away from my family.I was then offered a job by my company at singapore.i took it thinking that its a land job and i would at last be with my family.But it did not work that way as my daughter who inspite of being brilliant was denied admission at the university in singapore and also i myself am not doing too well in my job! its as if my boss thinks that am mentally lacking n frankly at times i feel so since iam prone to forgetfullness n generally very nervous.what should i do? i feel like leaving n just go back home!!...pls help me.for your info even in 2006 i was offered a job at singapore but i left within 3 months coz of the same feelings and went back to sea and now too its more than 3 months but this time have decided that i wont go back to sea even if i have to sit back n reflect at my life at home!!

About the forgetfullness and having problem recalling things, I have noticed lots of people who are admitting to the same thing happening to them and it's all ages but generally people out of their twenties. I can't prove it but I believe there are things in our environment these days, whether toxins that build up over the years that affect us all that way or something else. I used to have perfect english and now in typing I catch myself making so many stupid mistakes. I dont let that stop me tho...Just try harder. I am writing a book. And I have reread each chapter about 10 times. All mistakes caught already...now I just re structure some sentences to make things clearer. Not all of us are affected the same way mentally but a good majority are now showing this problem. Most people are not aware of it cus it has been slowly getting a little worse, so slow most of us dont see it. So don't be hard on yourself, if you were doing a ship captains job, you're not stupid. But it is time for a change and you keep feeling that but as you can see in giving it an extra try, singapore isn't going to cut it. You need a job and boss who work with a more relaxed atmosphere. Willing to cover each others back in catching errors and not making a big deal of it. Start looking for a position somewhere in the maritime field, outside of the company you are with. Don't leave them yet, just start looking. You may have to take a job you like that is lots less in pay. The economy world wide is still pretty bad. Learn to live with less.
It is amazing what people can get by on when in a position where they have to. I learned to heat and cook with a woodstove at one point. Pour hot water into a tub. Get water from a well. And I was comfortable. Forget the instant and convenience foods and learn to cook from scratch, save money there. I don't know what it pays, but could there be harbour master positions? If you're willing to relocate to where the job is, that might work. You may have to take two part time jobs to make it work and them not be maritime related. Try thinking creatively. I wish you the best
