Evening all




Waste of time listing...done note off it this week, yet...

Hoovers broken but can't really use that as an excuse for not dusting, not cleaning bathroom, etc, just CBA...

Can I just ask you all please?...

Do I seem like I have a sense of humour? I'm not asking for compliments (or even insults!)...I just seem to have had a few instances where everything I say has been misconstrued ...

My OH has called me callous & mercenary (extremely upsetting, especially when I was taking him to the hospital cos he's had an accident) & someone I go to college with (for the last 2 years!) has replied to my 'jokey' email & has treated it as if it was completely serious. My email was a follow-up to another colleagues humerous email, but she's written to me stating that she didn't think he meant it!!!!

Of course he didn't mean it - he was talking about holding a college representative hostage until they paid the 'ransom' - putting our course on again next year!!

Honestly, I feel like a stupid, thick, ignoramus...this is obviously how she sees me...and OH sees me totally different to how I think I am...I'm just wondering now if that is how I am and I have a totally over-inflated view of myself..........

to say I am feeling fragile is putting it very mildly...I feel like jacking in college and telling OH to stuff it!

on the other hand if they're right I seriously need to sort out my attitude... but I really thought I was a decent person - and now I'm crying again...

Not been here that long but I haven't noticed anything in your posts - but then again I possibly have the same sense of humour as you so maybe not the best person to ask

Emails can often be misconstrued because they are written and I know I often overuse the term lol to show I am joking and dread the thought that I might offend someone


OH sees me totally different to how I think I am...I'm just wondering now if that is how I am and I have a totally over-inflated view of myself.......... to say I am feeling fragile is putting it very mildly...I feel like jacking in college and telling OH to stuff it!

As for Oh can you ask him why he thought that was there a reason that you may have missed - bit off if you were taking him to hospital - then again this is from the person who made her hubby drive himself to hospital and told him not to bleed on the car upholstery

on the other hand if they're right I seriously need to sort out my attitude... but I really thought I was a decent person - and now I'm crying again...

Don't cry - sending (((((hugs ))))))

College person is obviously a bit dim. Or autistic (which isn't dim, just unable to comprehend).

OH is feeling sorry for himself.

Mind you, I had a conversation on my mobile on the train today where I'm telling someone to come up and meet me and I'll buy him a drink whilst he tells me all about how his incredibly convoluted lovelife has all come crashing around his ears. Oh, and told him when he asked me what kind of bug it could be on his windscreen that has wings and a blue abdomen, that unless he wants me to go home and get the microscope, it's most likely a blue @rsed fly.

Well, he laughed at both.


*******

:eek:

I have just found that hotels have vending machines with ICE CREAM in them!!!!!!
