Random MSN Gibberings LX: Cabbage it is...

[Acidtek]

I can't get no sleep!

Good morning EADD.

Just drinking tea, wishing it were Friday and hoping a present comes my way today.

Other than that, more of the same. Not exciting, but life can't always be exciting can it? Unless you visit Fletcher Moss tennis courts one balmy evening, perhaps.

Have a good one, people.

Got that Thursday feindin.

Morning EADD, cup of tea here too

 

[Jabberwocky]

Morning tea club.

not in the best of moods today. always get a bit contemplative when i have psych appointments.

hoping that a kind of deadline will kick my ass work wise today though. found out i need to submit an abstract for a poster by the 10th, which means i need some results to put on it. i could also just not submit it. the bitch who wants it, despite receiving emails every other day about the fact i had 50 quid in the world and asking when i'd get my funding at the start, never replied, and never in general replies to emails. so maybe she can have a taste of her own medicine and be forced to hunt me down in my office. but by delaying that i'm just delaying making the actual poster, for which i have a none bitch enforced deadline.

sure you've all just fallen off your seats with that excitement.

Best of luck with that, and hope the day improves once it's done.

I've just realised I'm socially double booked this evening but I'm going to get round it somehow without letting either party down. Somehow.

 

[Acidtek]

That's going to be a nice bike ride!

Morning peeps, on my first tea break at work. Come back for another slice of cold pizza, only one more left and a coffee.

Legs and arms are aching from the football last night and they will probably be worse tomorrow but I have to play tennis tomorrow. Oh well, at least I will be getting fitter

Morning all, have to get up to troop into the city centre this morning. Really need to start waking up earlier, I just feel far too groggy for the first 30 minutes of my day.

 

[breakcorefiend]

it went ok thanks. i got an official copy of my care plan which made me feel a bit better. it has 8 needs that they address, and only 5 are applicable to me. though the people who have all 8 are in serious trouble and my heart goes out to them.

hope you get your plans worked out.

breakcorefiend- am kinda jealous. though have taken too many days off recently and if i don't get my ass in gear i'm going to look like an idiot to my coworkers. though actually i am doing something so alien to them i could write complete gibberish and they wouldn't notice. there's a good historical precedent for that in academia.

lol well yea i feel abit bad bout it but over the last few months ive been really putting in the effort adn teh bosses love me, me n gf have turned the place around and ive only had one day hol since xmas so i deserve it! the gf doesnt see it that way it being her parents comp n all but im not part of that yet so im not allowing guilt to be offloaded onto moi, am i being unreasonable?

 

[Jabberwocky]

i don't think so. if your gf has similar indulgences to you then the tables will turn one day.

frankly i think the idea that someone can work 9-5 5 days a week is fucking insane. i really don't know how people do it the prospect makes me want to die so overall if you're doing a good job then you should be allowed the odd sickie!!!

 

[Myshkin]

In short, yes.

You sound like you have a cushy setup there, working for your girlfriend's parents, so be grateful for that. Especially when a lot of BLers are struggling to find work while at the same time battling the attendant problems that come with unemployment: depression, ennui, substance abuse, homelessness etc., etc.

I expect your girlfriend got you the job, so for her to have to pick up the slack for you is totally out of order. Even Florence Nightingale types run out of patience eventually. Believe me - I've known (and exhausted the patience of) quite a few.

That said, one day's holiday since Yuletide is admirable; maybe you should take the odd day off here and there just to indulge / recover?

As for the excuses about feeling rough though, it's self-inflicted and at the end of the day it's a hangover. Deal with it. Vodka, DHC and vallies shouldn't be incapacitating you for two days either.

Anyway, rant over.

Nothing personal (as you know), but it's hard to read such stuff when I haul my arse in here on a daily basis in some truly shocking states.

Oh, and chinup - I'm pleased it went (relatively) well. Still, five out of eight - watch yersen.

getting more n more paranoid the girl is gonna hate me upon arrival at 7pm

i hate upsetting her its just im yet to out grow my drug honeymoon whereas she spent the age of 13-17 pilling it at fabric and mass and the likes when i felt i was cool picking up an 8th for myself!20 quid was alot to a 14 yr old stoner whose income consisted of mummys purse (going to hell) and asking for cash, then got into the whole shifting to friends routine and got many a yr of free nites that way but im too old for it all now, i ju
ust like getting messy in my comfort zone, i actually get para chilling with my MATES having a smoke, i dont like it, but yest after a Parke Davis football melting under my tongue it was if i had had an 8pack or beers,was a nice change, but that started me on the kopparberg which led to vodka which let to gin and this Hungarian booze my Hungarian mate brought back, needless to say 2 blues under the tongue with a cig n tea did fuck all, felt like i was gonna collapse in the shower, thing is i never moan bout work to her parents which is why they really love me..BUT..i moan lots to my gf, proper boy who cried wolf scenario so when i actually feel shit she never believes me

how many words is that, could i hand tht in for a first...fuck could i :D

ps as you notice my finger have got the blue dyslexia tips on the go..this was an epic spellcheck jobby

EXACTLY! your logic is like a ray of glory thru my bleak window
I really am a hard worker, i enjoy my job just have days where id rather be ANYWHERE lol

 

[Myshkin]

BCF, If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

It's just that in my early twenties I lost a job which would have led to pretty decent prospects because of exactly the kind of behaviour you're describing. This was after having to leave higher education for health reasons (alcoholism) so you'd think I'd have learned.

Keeeping work and play separated is vital, it really is.

Nine-to-five is unnatural and brutal, yes, but if it can fund some meaningful and enjoyable leisure time then it's best held on to.

As are decent girlfriends / boyfriends. Got that?

So does everybody. Thank fuck you're not down the pit, son.

 

[Jabberwocky]

i am not a hard worker. i am a fundamentally lazy and selfish human being with enough natural intelligence to fuck about for 25 years and even get paid to do so. but Sam is right that you're v lucky to have what sounds like a decentish job so don't take it for granted.

yeah Sam the 3 i didn't have was aftercare from hospitalisation, financial needs and accommodation needs. there was a time when i'd have ticked 7 (and depending how you look at it, maybe 8 ) of the boxes so on the whole things have improved. and knowing that however bad you feel, you're really not anywhere near the bottom, is quite nice.
