OS Singlies - We Do It Our Way!

if_at_first...

Wow - you were Lucky Calicocat. Weather has been weird here too. Sunny and warm , then rain, then sun, then hail the size of golf balls. I was really Lucky my car didn't get dented. My neighbour's did and have been getting lots of reports of broken windshields.

I have tied it down with string...still blowing about, so have shoved a really heavy pot in the bottom which seems to have done the trick.

The weather with you sounds worse than me, no hail here (yet)...just sun...and the wind-tunnel factor. I am by the coast so it's often windy here compared to what I was used to......i've never heard anything like it in the winter, it's like something out of a horror movie..

I think i'm going to have to take the washing spin thing down...I can see that getting lifted and blown somewhere.

It's a weird day...but quite nice all the same as it's warm here.

Evening.

Feeling very here tonight. Yesterdays positivity following my good deed lasted about 10 minutes this morning once I arrived at work. Spent the day feeling pretty stressed and generally unappreciated and despondent with life. Is this really the best I have to look forward to for the next 30 odd years that I will most likely have to work for?
Sorry to be so glum. The whole situation just reminds me that I have no-one to share the days tales with either :(

You can have a hug from over here too.

My hug isn't as dodgy as LB's however. Not entirely sure why hers is dodgy...unless she's covered in chicken poo....lol.


I understand how you feel, as feel the same often about vile work and another possible 10-15 years of doing it. Although to be fair the wards could be shut down anytime, then I won't have a job, and then be whining about that...we can't win either way can we.

Thanks LB & Calico - all hugs very much appreciated - dodgy or otherwise!! xx

Sorry for being a bit aaargh. Feeling less antsy now I've had some food and a large drink.

The sensible part of knows that I need the job as certainly can't afford my bills without it.... but I would SO love to tell them where to stick it. Actually, thinking about it in fact, I would just settle for having a job I don't hate much of the time. Do they exist?

calicocat

Well if I could get the same pay for playing with puppies and kittens (and now hens)...that would be me happy.

Job doesn't exist though.

I did think about doing vet nursing, but would get upset half the time I think, and would be on the bones of my arris while training.

I think probably most full time jobs are poo when you get to my age (48) and constantly dream of not working. I would love to be part time, but can't afford it and keep doing what I do now.

I think the dodgy part of the "dodgy hug" is to do with the graphic. :eek:

That really would be a cool job. If I win the lottery and set up such a scheme I'll be sure to let you know

I don't really know what I want to do job wise (kinda fell into this one) Never did and I think that's part of the problem..
