Company is at it again.

There's two bosses, one is my mate, one is not.
The London job is under the one who is not, and he's always trying to fuck about and get away with shit.
We were on the 2pm flights on a Friday and he moved us to the 3, with fairly thin defence.
He just sent me through my November flights, 16.25.
He can fuck off. We get the early flight out on a Monday for a reason, so we can get an earlier flight home on a Friday

Hate dreaming of dead people.

I dream about the people at work going psychotic

I wonder if my dreams have prophetic quality....

Well yeah that would suck.

I always feel like an asshole cause in my dreams I usually say to the dead person "Your not suppose to be here so why are you here?" Even though in my dream my inner self is crying in joy that they are here. Then you wake and it sucks.

I also really hate dreams where when you are trying and need to shoot the gun won't fire fast enough or your in a fist fight and you suddenly feel as though your arms are moving under water so you can't punch that person or thing that you need to.

The moving in slow motion thing happens to me a lot. Extremely frustrating.
I sometimes also have very cinematic dreams. The other day I dreamed that an interdimensional portal to an ice world had been opened in the subway system and ice giants called Jotun were invading. The army was fighting pitched battles and trying to blow up the subway gates to keep them trapped.

I hav a friend who bugs me. Its a long term thing and the one bug in our friendship. We are both gamers. I always used to lend him games. I once lent him my Xbox 360 and my entire 360 game collection so he could play all the exclusives. I wasn't using it and didn't bat an eye in lending it to him. I similiarly lent him my Nintendo Wii so he could play all the Mario games. I didn't bat an eye. I used to review games and get a lot of them for free, I lent to him no problem. That's not to say I dindt pay for some.

My gaming habits have changed though and I no longer review games. These days he is the bigger gamer. I read, I watch TV. He plays games. This means I tend to wait for specials or only buy the games that I consider absolute musts. He on the other hand pre-orders the special edition of every triple A game these days. Thing that bugs me is when I ask to borrow something he always insists I pay something towards the costs. Games are expensive these days I understand that. That said I have a long history of lending things to him and asking nothing in return. It bugs me enough that I have even mentioned what I see as the hypocrisy. He shrugged it off and said the games I reviews I got for free and the Xbox and Nintendo wii were old. I argue that I still had to pay for some games and I had to pay for the consoles. My point was not the money but if you own something anyway and bought it for yourself what does it cost to lend it out.

It just strikes me as overly mercenary between friends. 4 major games came or are coming out this month. I suggested we split them. I would buy two, he would buy two and we would swap. He wanted to own them all (as I said he is a serious collector of special editions these days) but still wanted to split them. I pointed out that I collected games too, though to a lesser degree and wasn't going to split something that worked out so unequal.

He is a great guy, a good friend but on this issue I cant understand him.

[Tsundoku]

I suggest on this one issue you both do your own thing and don't interact.

[Tiste Simeon]

Yeah a friend doesn't ask for money to borrow something that's just weird.

[Macros]

Tell him to get fucked. Whilst reminding him when you lent him your entire rig and collection

My first reaction is that you got off lightly, considering it was a train, but seriously, a train?

When I break fingers or toes, I try to drink as much chai as I can in the morning because the calcium and other things in milk would possibly hurry up the healing time. Good luck and I hope the pain subsides soon.

My partner has been having a gall stone attack since Saturday afternoon and it's not bad enough to take her into the hospital for a two week early removal.

We've had to resort to creative pain management strategies and she's able to work today, but it's still affecting her.

You sound like too much of a regular at this... I’m not in normal splints yet because my entire hands are bruised and swollen. The dr just taped my right middle finger to a bar and then wrapped my hand. Is it bad that the splint looks crooked and my finger doesn’t look straight? I don’t see an orthopedic till Thursday. Also have you gotten spasms? They are excruciating!

I've broken two toes and five fingers.

The usual method is indeed to buddy tape the digit to something next to it. As for healing perfectly straight, there's a chance that crooked fingers could result. The key part is whether that matters to you.

My college basketball player friend didn't fix his fingers and they mostly have the top bit crooked without affecting function. Same for my toes. But my fingers healed straight.

Spasms are standard. I would stay as active as you can tolerate to give your body something to focus on and exert energy doing.

Good lord. Today's entries are rough!

[Maark Abbott]

Cleaning up formrer colleague messes to the tune of Draper v Newport and let's just leave this there.

[QuickTidal]

Sorting out who will come and look after our daughter when my wife goes into labour (Friday is due date) and how she will deal with that person is stressing both of us out.

Most of my family, and my wife's family either live far away (and thus cannot make it to look after her in time for us to go to the hospital) or cannot come (her mother is terminally ill, and her father is the main caregiver)...and as such my daughter has seen all of these people only a handful of times in her life...and her reaction to "strangers" (even my mother, for example) is to cringe away and cry, not talk ect. Even at family gatherings she only warms up to family after an hour or so. So we are worried that whoever comes is going to have a hell of a time managing her, especially if they have to pick her up from daycare, or they are what she wakes up to after sleep (if we go to hospital in the middle of the night).

She can be very obstinate...AND is in her "terrible" twos. So she's extra cranky these days.

I realize I should not worry about this, nor should my wife as no matter which family member comes to watch her (probably my wife's godparents who are retired and she knows DECENTLY well), she will be well looked after and we should focus on the birth.

Anyways, I'm sure it will work out. We are just getting so close to the birth (we had two touch and go days on the weekend where she thought she MIGHT be in labour and has been having pre-labour signs for a few days) that it's causing me extra stress.
