Life on the bench: in my dressing gown

That should bring out the pony tails, beards and sandals. Oh ...

.. and thats just the women..

I feel your pain - all you benchiees. The sleepless nights, the cold knot in the stomach the worry that this is the end of my carear, should I just declare myself bankrupt and get a job at Tesco, the utter dispair and loss of self worth

BUT it WILL get better - of that I am certain. Good luck to all.

Hugs

That's it, Pogle. Pick that scab and poke about underneath with a toothpick. Pokey, pokey, poke, poke.

I was trying to be supportive - having spent from the end of July 08 til Feb 09 without a contract. I was not having a dig, merely saying how I felt when it was me.

I won’t bother in future

Thanks Pogle. I know you know what you are talking about

My wife's family are 'supportive' too.

They ring up and go on about how depressed I must be and how terrible it all is and how worried I must be and sleeping must be a problem and is the money lasting out and what will I do when I can't pay the rent and and and.

I then achieve nothing constructive for the next 36 hours, just mope about without sleeping until I can cheer myself up again.

It's like these poxy post-trauma counsellors: they are doing more harm than good by putting ideas in people's heads and then reinforcing them, thereby guaranteeing more work for themselves.

I don't come moaning on here to be made to feel worse.

Wishing you all the best RC, keep the faith.

I won’t bother in future

Probably for the best

That's more like it. <--- but no tongues, eh? I've not brushed my teeth lately.

Chin up mate. All the best.

You too.

Mr Richard Cranium,

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch this every morning before you hit the phones

And then stand in front of the mirror and scream that line until you believe it ... then hit the phones

You have to get your game face one before talking to the pimps, any negativity will come out in your voice. Go for a run/brisk walk/bobsleigh/cycle/swim/whatever

Get out of that dressing gown, get some exercise, get your game face on, hit the phones.

I know this kind of American whoop and holler will drive you nuts as you are an English gentleman who does not do this. Good. Medicine does not necessarily have to be enjoyed.

It's not you, it's the market.

Go getum
