I just listen to "Self Help Singh"...

Some days are f*cked and cannot be unf*cked.
When you have a day that is f*cked-up beyond repair, that is the Universe speaking to you, sending you a message.
Listen to the Universe, and go home.

Yep been there mate, invoicing whilst tubed up on dialysis. One of the nurses asked asked what I was doing, when I said "earning a crust" she walked away shaking her head !

Fingers firmly crossed that the drugs work!

what is she expecting you to do? sit there and rot? Not everyone is employed with unlimited sick pay or have great health care.

As you say lets hope the drugs work!

Or just have a furious . The release of those endomorphines will help with all the problems and stress.

the maid has resigned?

Yup just a wuss

Real WFH's let it pass over them or put extra loud rock/punk music

I reminded of the scene from The Big Short

Thanks for asking; started chemo 2 weeks ago, not really going to know if / how well it's gone for the next 6 months. Took my laptop with me, so managed to invoice for the day I was in hospital linked up to the chemo bag so all good .

Stone me. What calibre are they? The rifles, not the plod. We all know what calibre they are.

4 x .22LR rifles, 1 x FAC 12 bore shotgun, 1 x SGC 12 bore shotgun, 2 x sound moderators, shedload of assorted ammunition - left the standard shotgun cartridges and airguns behind as they have no authority to seize as they are unregulated

[DoctorStrangelove]

Only thing that's annoyed me is my local police force have seized my (licensed and legal) target rifles as I'm now classed as 'at risk from self harm' solely due to my diagnosis. Just waiting to see if my home legal cover will fund a legal challenge to get them back.

No suprise there then Gibby.

Send and receive sarcastic messages to the people who are contractors and a one/two permies you are working alongside, then try not to laugh if your camera is on. If it gets to much "you just have to go and collect a parcel at the door"


Or read the Metro, Guardian or whatever to post a story on here.

Just sitting on a call which is driving me up the wall. Details aren't necessary, just the usual 'blame anyone except me', 'talk assertively to pretend I know what I'm tuliping on about' etc. etc. business call. FYI: I'm just in the background and pretty much invisible but it's still winding me up.

I just logon on to my personal pc and do whatever tulip I could do with doing, catching up, ordering, booking flights etc. When I was a Test Team lead onsite I used to be pulled into day long design meetings, much to my annoyance as my input took aprox 5 mins per hour. So I used to do my OU work especially Latin and Greek verb tables.

Funnily no one said anything and I wasn't sacked, in fact just been approached about a return, but I've finished OU now so no point!

BTW hope you're ok, you were expecting some news a while ago?

You post a bleeding heart post on here and end it with 'Am I being a wuss?' and we can all fire in.
