How is everyone feeling? (31)

[Dougella]

^ I don't think it's typical to tip grocery delivery drivers!

[Ronnie_Pickering]

it is

[Dougella]

^ Really? I had heard they often say their companies prevent them from accepting tips.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

well last time I had supermarket delivery, guy was looking expectantly for a tip. Of course I wasn't going to give him a tip because I couldn't afford it.

[biscuits]

If I ever get food delivered (maybe once a year) then I always give a tip. I feel bad for not going to get it myself. Usually I say, "and this is for you," which probably sounds creepy when typed, but I'm a mouse, so hopefully that doesn't come across when spoken out loud. If it's hot then they have a cold can of drink thrust upon them too.

[Alone.]

Depressed

[Ronnie_Pickering]

another interview taking orders by phone. I tried this last year and I had to keep googling the telephone numbers afterwards to find out who they were because I couldn't make sense of who they said. So I do not have much faith.

[magnolia]

Devastated.
My dog who's 13 hasn't been too good.
Vet phoned today with blood test results and she says it's either Cushing's disease or a bad liver.

To determine which one a further blood test is needed (£140) and/or a scan of her abdomen (about £200)
Treatment for Cushing's is expensive, I don't want to sound heartless but the money is worrying me.
Boyfriend said he would help out with that.

I just feel so sad, this is the beginning of the end for her. She's kept me going on some days.
I just don't know what to do ATM

[Dougella]

^ So sorry to hear that Maybe the tests will show that it's not Cushing's.

[Rocket Spud]

Plop. Missed the works do last night. Currently seeing whatsapp msgs coming through about a great time being had etc.

I really ought to try drugs.

[biscuits]

^ I'd take those WhatsApp messages with a generous, bucket-sized pinch of salt, rocket spud!

Work Christmas dos are full on anxiety, don't be too hard on yourself for missing it. It's one of the hardest social events to attend, I find!

How did the Secret Santa go?! Hope it wasn't as anxiety inducing as you expected?

I would like to, but feel too embarrassed and scared they might feel patronised or offended.
What do you usually say?

Sorry, lovely, I can't reply to your message on my wall (is that what it's called!)

Glad the little tipping script worked

[Ronnie_Pickering]

had to tell a housemate to keep his tv noise down. Of course as usual he doesn't take criticism well. 'Are you sure it's not another housemate?' 'yes, very sure...'. What annoys me about the landlord, everyone 30+ usually, and for some reason he accepted someone far younger in on this occasion.

Haha sorry I'm such an annoyance about my visitors message board. I think I've managed to switch it on now.

I think "wall" is the term used in Facebook, which maybe shows how old and outdated I am

[Ronnie_Pickering]

oh dear just had a moment of laughing at the wrong time in an interview. I'm a wally.

[Clumsy*]

^Ah. I do untimely chuckling too. My name is not Clumsy for nothing. I hope the cringe subsides soon

[Ronnie_Pickering]

haha I'm thinking of apologising in a thank you email.

[Dougella]

I'm sure it happens a lot during interviews!

[Ronnie_Pickering]

yeah I think it's nerves generally

[biscuits]

^ aw affy, chances are they won't have thought anything of it at all. I wouldn't email, but don't worry if you have. I once said, "thank you, love you, bye." In my nerves I meant to say "lovely" but "love you" popped out.

[biscuits]

Today I feel ever so unwell. My face is so full of cold. My throat is swollen. I'm gonna have to go to bed.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

^^ did you get that job?

Viruses making their rounds at the moment. Not sure if its better catching them, or avoiding them.

[Percy]

Get well soon biscuits

[Tembo]

Hope you are feeling a bit better this morning biscuits!

I’m very sad to hear about Terry Hall who passed away last night. The Specials were one of the first bands I got interested in as a young teenager (even though I was born in the 1990s) and I later liked a lot of stuff from his other bands.

[Hayman]

Pretty anxious about this week to be honest.

I finish work on Thursday evening, but the final week before Christmas always involves the exchanging of cards and presents. I absolutely loathe the pressure with a passion. Fortunately the situation isn't as bad as it used to be - as most of the 'socialists' have since left the company but it's still a position I'd rather not be in. I'd rather just shake hands, wish people a Merry Christmas and then go away for a few days to rest...

I'll be happier once Thursday evening comes...

[biscuits]

Thanks everyone . I am mot feeling better

@ affluenza - nah haha I didn't get the job
@Tembo I was sad to hear this too
@Hayman - bah, roll on Thursday evening for you!

[Mr. Nobody]

I'm currently coming down with something too I fear,
When I got home from work I just went straight under the duvet and put the electric blanket on,
I'm hoping to sleep off / shake off whatever this is,
As I haven't even started my xmas shopping yet, eek!

The coughing and sneezing have already started, noooooo

[biscuits]

^ oh no. It's got your too. Yes, getting rest and water is the best thing. Hope you're feeling better soon.

[Mr. Nobody]

^
aw fanks

Gulped down some paracetamols,
Put heating on,
Had a nice meal and settled down to watch Rogue One,

I'm feeling a lot less achey and down now, thanks.
