oxgirl Report post Posted November 30, 2006 I love the coffee revels I was so upset when coffee creams stopped being sold in pick n mix sections that I seriously considered making them myself Here, take these, but if you find any toffees amongst them, they're MINE! ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNeil Report post Posted December 1, 2006 'Coffee creams'?!?!?!?! You people are sick and twisted. How can anyone like coffee sweets? Eurgh I'd rather spend hours chipping the chocolate off and just eat that Just out of interest, does anyone else posess 'Revel-dar' - where you can sense what type of Revel it is just by looking at it? Or is that just me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badonkadonk Report post Posted December 5, 2006 Dude, How did it go? I've just got back from another helacious 4 hour shopping trip. I only wanted a shirt for Bob and some gift tags but my mum wanted a few things as well so it meant going to more than 2 shops which usually means HELL ON EARTH! Anyhoo, I was just sitting here slurping some stew for me supper and I was feeling sorry for myself because my feet hurt and I don't want to talk to anyone. But, I know Bob will ring in a minute for his usual chat so I can keep him company while he drives home from band practice. (Not band as in flutes and whatnot, band as in an actual band, like "Roooock" and all that malarky) So I was pouting and thinking wah wah wah when I realised I have nothing to wah about because I bet you've had a tougher time than me today. Why I can't say that in one sentence I don't know, my brain just goes "must give background information". You'll get over it Anyway hope it went ok and wasn't too much of a pain in jacksy.

TheNeil Report post Posted December 6, 2006 Anyway hope it went ok and wasn't too much of a pain in jacksy. Of course it didn't go OK - nothing in my pathetic little life ever does. I said 5 words and a grunt in the Italian restaurant (which seemed to have bought a job lot of olive oil so insisted in making everythign swim in the damn stuff) - the 5 words were to the waiter, the grunt was to in response to a stupid question about whether my food was alright or not (why not try some real conversation for change instead of the usual banal <insert rude word here>) We'd only been there 5 minutes before I started to freak out and shutdown and proceeded to spend the next 90 minutes either staring at the space on the table in front of me (sometimes the table, sometimes a plate), the lovely ceiling with it's exposed air con system, or the floor. I knew I was doing it but couldn't help myself and they might as well have replaced me with a bag of supermarket pasta for all the socialising I did (I specifically say supermarket pasta as, despite being a 'proper' Italian restaurant (supposedly), I have to say that it all tasted as though they'd simply opened a bag of Sainsbury's tubes and somehow managed to undercook it - never mind 'al dente', it was just hard)(yes, I am never happy) Then we traipsed over the play pool (why dear God? Why must you punish me for being a klutz? I'm not (always) a nasty a person). I did try to 'accidentally' get lost on the way but my boss was having none of it. I then proceeded to lose six games (out of a grand total of...six games), never smiled once, was ignored for the whole time (except for a 2 minute attempt at conversation from my boss who asked...what did I think of the three new PCs that had turned that morning - great conversation opener Mr Boss). I then got away late which meant that I missed my bus home, so then got home late, cold and wet with my leg hurting again (<insert VERY rude word here>). I felt really miserable, exhausted and mopey and vowed to come up with an alternative group activity for the future which will not involve having to do anything as a group Worse still I've turned up this morning to find that everyone else is out so I'm having to run the whole IT department. Two and a half hours I've been in and this is the first time I've been able to stop - why does everything with a plug on it insist on blowing up when I'm in on my own? I'm now in a bad mood and I feel a meltdown coming on. Maybe I should just hide in the server room behind one of the big boxes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badonkadonk Report post Posted December 6, 2006 Pfft, FINE! Sorry I asked Now then Mardy Bum.....nah I'm just kidding, sorry it didn't go so well TN, hope you're feeling better this afternoon. I honestly sympathise tremendously and you gotta give yourself a pat on the back or sumfink for just sticking it out. I have a tendancy to run away very fast....I say run away, it's more like a waddle but you get what I mean. Tbh I would have never have even got there in the first place I would have had a meltdown at work and run home and then have lost my job or resigned through shame. So at least you still have a job/income, though I know how much you hate it right now so I guess it is little consolation. Maybe in the new year you should start sticking the 'feelers' out and see what else is around? Maybe give your local jobcentre a visit and ask to talk to those who help people with disabilities not only find work but suitable work. You may find a more AS friendly employer this way. I know it's hard work and all that jazz finding a new job and making changes but maybe you're due a change for the better. 2007 will mark the start of a new era in your life so perhaps you should challenge yourself to break routines and try new things for one year only, and if nothing positive happens then you can call me a narna and go back to your 2006 way of life.

Nah you're OK Emily. I do find that being a drama queen (even if it's only in my head) helps me to deal with things as it's impossible for me not to imagine Rik Mayall (as Richard Richard) saying it...and that makes me laugh This does not mean that I like wearing women's clothes though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
butterfingersbimbo Report post Posted December 6, 2006 oh no what a nightmare!!! didnt it occur to you to hide in the toilets? not a pleasant hang out i know but it might have been more fun than being with your "work-mates" and you would think they would like you more after you let them win you at pool!!!!

kirstie Report post Posted December 7, 2006 TN, Sorry you had sucha ###### day out work thingy old buddy old pal, Do you HAVE to go? i don't understand why it is compulsory if it is. I mean you work with these people all day why the hell would you want to socialise with them too. I know a lot of people who feel like that, so you are not alone. I too think that you're boss is an a**h*** for not being more thoughtful to your needs. Quite possibly the time could be nigh fora new job, which in itself is a daunting thought but like i keep telling my Mum, why go to work day in day out and be miserable. It just aint worth it, you only have one life. so mardy bum who doesn't like wearing girls clothes (ahem) maybe time to check out the job section in the paper?? <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNeil Report post Posted December 8, 2006 (edited) Always got my eye open for a new job but IT work can be 'picky' so everything has to go through agencies these days and I'm registered with just about everyone of them in the entire universe. For some reason they seem to think that London falls into my criteria of wanting work in the north-east Maybe I will step up my efforts in the New Year though... And, just to clarify, [in a calm voice] I'm not mardy, and I don't like wearing women's clothes [Think happy thought, think happy thoughts] Edited December 8, 2006 by TheNeil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
