I'll tke one of those as well!

I've just had one of my *meetings* insert rolleyes smiley and then a shruggy smiley as I have no idea normally what they want me to do

This meeting was a bit clearer - I have to cut down 2480 whole plants and process these to get an idea of how this crop grows up here

Wholly guacamole batman - that's alot of plants - all to be done in FEB - I may need to lie down (insert lying down smiley)

Scarpers - :think:

That's true

90 a day to measure, weigh, do all the stem lengths for, write down and then chop up and cook in an oven to get more wieghts

sounds much better when I say it like that

(the thud was me on the floor) remind me why I prefer unladylike work?

RE the missing smileys, wonder if this will work. should be rolled eyes and should be a shrug. Are they the ones that aren't on the list?

Had a bit of a light bulb moment this morning driving to work.

I'm 37 years old !!!!!! and am acting like a child by allowing alcohol to control me :mad: this makes me very angry :mad:

I hope I continue to feel like this over the next few hours, I'm already getting the bells ringing *insert eyerolling smiley* (where the hell has the eye rolling smiley gone, that was my fav :mad:)

I eventually felt like this.
There came a point when I thought I could not go on in the current way. Alcohol had well and truly beaten me, and I had no control over it. When I was drinking I always wanted more, and when I wasn't drinking/couldn't drink I felt resentful at people who were drinking.
I needed help, and was willing to do anything to stop drinking. And I got that help because I was willing.
When I was like that I thought I was weak, childish, etc, but actually I was alcoholic. When I accepted that life started to get easier.

what plants are you cutting down - are they in a glasshouse or in the field? (I only ask 'because I used to do stuff like this too)
