Thanks for thinking of me everyone!
Glad you're OK too Bridge, that is a crappy experience.
I have had a few adventures too.. don't know where to start except to say that I guess 'family' has come down to what they need. It has always been that way and i have always been there but it still makes me feel... um cynical? or realistic.
Not certain whether I am crap or my family is crap. Suspect it's my family.
Sorry.. nothing new.Comment

Ta Bridge,
I admit I’m not so fine, (sorry to vent.. try to be brief)
At work I signed a 6mth contract but now the person on maternity leave I replaced has said she’ll be back in March not July. This is leaving me in a funny place.. The boss said I can stay till end of June as planned but maybe in different role. Still, can’t help feeling odd.
I guess at first was 6mths so I felt fully into doing everything fully with best effort. It’s a complicated role. Now if I’m only going to be there another 6 wks, who cares. Kinda took wind outta me sails. Crap end of that is if I don't do my best I won't get the reference.
Still positive though… just recognising underlying emotions.. Making me nervous.
Should sort it in the next week or so. Don’t like to hang about with that kinda stuff.
Maybe I should just embrace & accept the insecurity that is work these days???
Now I’m sounding daft.
Anyhoo, night night.. I will be able to check in until Sunday.. when another visitor will arrive.Comment

Hi goils,
Ficksy, I so understand that uncertainty about the future.
For me, I am trying the embrace thingy, its helping.
You are not daft at all honey.
Bridgee, I bet you looked wonderful at the funeral. I went to one last week, I wore red. Got highly critisized too. But you know what? G is right, we can wear WTF we like and should not expect others to judge us or take advantage of us in any way. So there!!Living now and not just existing since 9th July 2008

Fickle ... for what it is worth, it might be worth getting some advice on your legal position. I know that here, if someone goes on parental leave, they have to advise when they intend to return. If they want to come back early, the employer can decide whether they agree to that or not, but if someone has been employed on a temporary basis to cover the period of leave, then the employer is not able to shorten that. Not entirely certain about whether thy can be moved into a different role though. Do you guys have community law services that are free??
Bridge ....... that was a totally crap thing to be subjected to. Hope you are over it now seeing what everyone else said. I agree with Starty ...... we should be able to wear what we like and feel good in!
Feeling a little sad today ..... tomorrow is the ocean swim which is the one annual event that I really like participating in. Just haven't been able to put the training time in (it is 2.8km), so I didn't register. Will go down and support the rest of the squad though.
Some complicated family stuff going on - probly wont be around much after today.Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

morning all ... glad to hear you are all going well. Fickle I'm hearing you re: filling in for maternity leave position. It's a wierd situation to be in .. very unsettling. The start of another alcohol free day for me. Blew off (nicely) dinner with girlfriend as we would always knock through the wine and I'd usually stay at her place so I wouldn't have to drive. Will stay away from any situations like that for the next month or more whilst I learn to adapt to AF living.
I'm feeling much better but oh so tired. Off to the psych ward now - that's too work although I probably fit the criteria for admission lol...
Have a fantastic day everyone and hopefully I;ll catch up in chat with some of you over the weekend.Comment

oooh AN you work in the psych ward?? That'd be tough...but maybe some rewards also. I've visited the psych ward myself a few times...usually to dole out smokes & give support to my sister. You'd have to be a very patient person.
Bridge - some guy who'd had a stroke tried to grope you at a funeral???
Very disresepcetful of him. Who's funeral BTW?? Did I miss something??
Miss B - thinking of you as you go through the family stuff. Don't worry about the swim...it's not an easy time for you, y u're allowed to stop juggling a couple of balls when it get's too much.
G- I didn't have to write notes...it all went well. We're going for Yum Cha next week as an official 'welcome' to me...I love Yum Cha! And I love YOU ya big spunk.
Fickelicious - huggy thing here for you.
I'm off to see the personal trainer before work...followed by another AF day.
Rock it people.

Morning Folk.
Angel, it was a funeral for an elderly neighbour, which of course the rest of the neighbourhood turned up for (tight little place this).
Quite interesting for all of us here actually, because this is a guy who is not much older than me, and has had a stroke probably because of his excessive drinking and other lifestyle choices. But for the grace of God, eh?
In retrospect he probably has some personality changes because of the stroke. Let's hope that's not his usual MO.
Fickle I meant to ask you last night about your low carb diet and how it's going ???
I had some false starts, but I'm ripping along now, lost several kilos, and my old mate Mr Energy is back already.
Well, I'm off to scrub this house from bumhole to breakfasttime.
Hope you OK MissB ? Doesn't sound good re family stuff.If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

Morning all - guess we all need an extra dose of EBG™ to get us streaming ahead to the end of the month. Be warned - it's a full moon tomorrow - I think? that's the second one this month. Everybody sing "Blooooo Mooooooon ....."
I've also got self-invited visitors tomorrow arriving before lunch and departing after lunch on Sunday. Oh frabjous joy, calloh callay! Hope they get pissed at lunchtime and fall down by eight.
Tallest sunflower has now passed the 6' mark. Woo-hoo.
