Andy's jealousy is coming out again and I'm frustrated with work but handling it.

So Andy's little jealous monsters coming out hot and heavy now. I asked him dinner last night he said, no, not tonight. I am busy tonight and tomorrow. I can do lunch on Sunday and I was like, okay i didn't know if you were going to casanos tonight or not. Then, I asked him, are we watching a race sunday then? He replies i don't think it's gonna be on t v because of being fourth of july it's not showing up on peacock, yet, I'll let you know tomorrow. Has the race happens on saturday, but he watches it on sunday on a rerun. Then I was like miss me yet? He was like, it's nice talking to you every now and then. But I really don't miss anything. Then, I message him oh then I said thanks for the info. Then he messages me back do you wanna meet for lunch on Sunday? Which I already said okay. Then, maybe in a smart butt, like he was, I said, can mike come too? Then he replies sure, who's mike?I ignored then he replies when are you going to play monopoly?I ignore that also. Five hours later I reply i did brat. And then he's like you haven't done anything for our partners game yet then he uses that rolling eye.Emoji. then, I was like, I don't have anything to do with it yet.And then he replies back.Thanks for finally playing with a laughe tearface emoji. That I told him to message me when he made it home safely and not pulled over. Not that he drinks, but he's not supposed to be driving. The late at night anyway. Hey friend of mine was like the jealous monster's coming out again. So update on work classes, start in August. Now which is pushing my promotion back, and they're like your way. Ahead, and you bet the owner and the supervisors. Like, thanks for getting everything done. And I'm like, I always get my stuff done. I'm not lazy. Then, I'm like, I had a lot of issues getting my stuff done. But I figured it out. The opening manager right? And I have a better understanding of each other. I had to save her, but again when two people didn't come in, one didn't show up. And then the other one was like, 2 hours late, and she was gonna call the general manager and I was like nope. I was like, I think she closed, and this is not important enough for her to wake up for and she's like, oh I was like, you call in the manager that comes in next to come in early. That's how you do it.So she actually listened to me, which was shocking. My daughter asked if I really want to get you in trouble. I would literally would take videos of what she does.I mean, I get in trouble too.But at the end of the day, she shouldn't be twerking, and showing her belly button off anyway. And I told her I was like, look, I'll take back cash and take both lanes while you're up front. I'm like, well, maybe on side one. And that way she can pull what she needs from the holding cabinet, and I was like it went when she gets slow. Then, you're gonna have to go back and cook. Why I take lanes and cash?And then back food and then for at least a half hour. Then, dustin, who is backup maintenance, he knows how to cook. So after he got some of his maintenance done, he actually cooked. So she didn't have to cook, and then I was like back cash, taking both lanes, taking my gloves on and off to roll burritos. In between orders of course, gloves were on when I was rolling grobs, came off when I had to, and then sanitize my hands real quick, and then wash in between. I walked over eight thousand steps that morning. And then the other day, the system went down and I was like, nobody want to do anything else like that. I was like we took orders from front counter and took one order at a time. Apologized and I was like, it's either this or not taking any orders at all. I said we did that until the monitor turns up, front went out and I was like, I can't remember everybody's order. So I said, that's when we stopped taking orders. That way, I said at least it was some money and not nothing. And I think they respected that with me. Then, I was willing to do whatever it needed to be done, to end reason, of course, to make the company money. I just wish Andy would get his head out of these behind. And get it together. I had an astrology report duty done, and it says that he's on the verge of changing his mind stepping up and coming back.So we'll see

I pulled one card on the dynamic between you and Andy: the Eight of Swords, reversed. What I notice is how differently you show up in the two stories you told. At work — systems down, people not showing, you're already solving it. Adapting. Finding the workaround. You don't wait for permission or for someone to get their head straight. You just move. With Andy, it's different. You're asking "miss me yet?" and name-dropping Mike to provoke a reaction, then ignoring his replies, then circling back hours later. That's a game of tension, and you're both playing it. The Eight of Swords reversed suggests the binds here are loosening — not because Andy is changing, but because you're starting to see that the real trap isn't him. It's the waiting around for him to become someone he hasn't shown you he is yet. You already know how to act when something matters. That competence is real. The question is whether you're willing to turn it toward this situation the same way.

Blunt truth? Andy isn’t jealous — he’s territorial. Big difference. Jealousy has vulnerability in it. What he’s doing is poking, teasing, checking who “Mike” is, keeping the line warm… but when you test him with “miss me?” he answers with distance. “I don’t miss anything.” That wasn’t shy. That was guarded pride. He wants access without exposure. He’ll flirt, invite, roll emojis around, but the minute it gets emotionally real, he backs up and acts cool. That’s not a man on the verge of stepping up — that’s a man enjoying attention while staying safe. Now look at you at work. You step up. You solve problems. You lead under pressure. People listen when you talk. That’s not small energy. That’s grown woman competence. And here’s the imbalance: you’re operating like a partner in life, and he’s operating like it’s a playful side quest. Astrology can suggest timing. But behavior tells the truth. Watch what he does, not what a chart promises. You don’t need him to “get it together.” You need someone who already has.

You're working circles around everyone at your job, solving problems before they escalate, and holding it down when systems crash and people don't show. That's not luck — that's competence. And the fact that your opening manager actually listened to you? That's respect earned. But the Andy situation is something else. He flirts with distance — "I don't miss anything" — then pivots and asks you to lunch. He teases you about Monopoly, sends the eye-roll emoji, and asks who Mike is. That back-and-forth isn't grounded energy. It feels like he wants to keep you guessing so he stays in control of the warmth. You're burning eight thousand steps a shift holding things together. You deserve someone whose feelings don't require a decoder ring. If that astrology report is right and he's on the verge of stepping up, let him prove it through consistent action — not breadcrumbs and emojis. You already know what you're worth. Don't let someone act like your presence is optional when your effort never is.

Will I see better job opportunities at my minesite or is it time to move on?

The Seven of Coins indicates you are taking stock of a long investment that has paid out in money, but left you hungry for actual capability. If you are being given simple jobs, it is often because employers assign work based on what is easiest, not what you are worth. Waiting for a minesite to suddenly recognize your competence is a gamble. The upside of staying is purely financial, but the psychological toll of feeling undervalued will only compound as the busy season ramps up. Use the steady paycheck to fund your Certificate IV, and treat your current position not as a career, but as a temporary funding source for your exit. Let the qualification be the leverage that removes the need to ask for better opportunities where you aren't being seen.

Will I change jobs soon and what work suits a Cert IV in Workplace Health and Safety?

Two years of being undervalued leaves a residue, and what came through first is that this new offer didn't undo it. Your body stopped waiting well before your manager noticed. What I sense around your work is a door opening just as you've stepped away from it. The change is coming, yes, though it looks less like a dramatic exit and more like a handover in the months around your study. Your attention has already moved, and workplaces feel that. The Certificate IV travels well. It tends toward WHS officer or advisor work, site safety coordination in construction, transport, warehousing or aged care, return-to-work coordination, induction and training, and compliance support inside larger organisations. Those rooms reward what you built quietly over two years, which is knowing how a workplace really runs.

Will I stay at my Minesite job and pay off my cottage before I retire?
LauraBennett
Laura Bennett @LauraBennett · ·AI response

Buying that cottage this year at fifty-nine is a massive achievement, and carrying the worry of paying it off before your working days close is completely understandable. What the cards show here is a bridge between past heavy efforts and the very practical need to protect your remaining working years. The appearance of the Five of Cups points to earlier setbacks or financial strain that still casts a shadow over your confidence. Right now, symbolized by The Hermit, you are standing back and assessing your position on the minesite carefully, feeling somewhat isolated or worn down by the daily grind. But the reversed Queen of Swords in the future position indicates that staying put passively will eventually lead to frustration or rigid conditions. You are being nudged to look at external training, not to abandon your stability, but to sharpen your edge. Relying solely on the minesite to carry you through to a paid-off mortgage is a gamble when your intuition is already asking for a backup plan. Look into targeted skills or alternate employment now while you still have control over the timing, rather than waiting for the environment to decide for you.
