Before you start slapping, you need to decide which warren with which to slap.

So, test results on my tumour were not good. But, if you were going to pick a "good" cancer for lack of a better phrase, this isn't a bad one. Got it very early and a better than good chance everything will be fine in the long run. Lots of positives considering

If I wasn't already on a re-read, I'd have just dived back into Gardens and refused to come back out I think!

Sorry to hear that, surely you are WAY too young for such things too looking at your profile pic?!

Good that you are thinking positive, that's the most important thing to do, besides picking a warren of course!

Also you could reread the section you have already reread to really confuse yourself!

Place I recently started at also hired another dude with no experience. Not that I have much but this guy knows nothing, constantly bombards me and others with questions without bothering to look through documents and drawings. Once hes done I go to change something and find out that it is completely wrong an gotta redraw everything. Makes me look bad as were working together on some projects. And he gets paid the same amount as me.

End of whining.

Sounds like every drawing office I have ever worked at. There is always some idiot who somehow gets and keeps a job and gets paid either the same or more! (i'm 26 so before I started contracting it was usually more ). Even big firms have this, it is simply astounding! Contracting is a good cure to this, you don't have to give a shit! lol you do your work, do it well, and rake in the dosh to pay for Malazan Lettered Edition books lol

Gastroenteritis.

Possibly should be posting this in the poop thread but I'm having a hard won break from the toilet.

[worry]

Oil leak! And it wasn't a bad oil filter, meaning I gotta take it to the shop and probably pay a hundred bucks to get a bolt tightened or something. Ho ho ho!

[Maark Abbott]

I had that not long since, Mezla - very unpleasant. Especially being that it was black and grey grainy rubber glove time due to it.

[Tiste Simeon]

Worry for a second there I thought you were commenting on Mezlas post...

[Maark Abbott]

I was. It would be scat-illogical not to.

[Maark Abbott]

It does disappoint me that Worry didn't join in though.

[Andorion]

Had the most tedious day today. Had to sit through 7 hours of the most boring stuff and had to keep my mouth shut because lots of very senior powerful figures were involved. Did not get a lunch (unless 12 biscuits and some nuts count) and now I want to just let loose on something.

If you already know what electrolyte laden drink you can tolerate a gallon of at a time, you're ahead of the pack.

I had that many years ago as a teenager and lost 25% of my body weight. It was awful and I don't remember the middle 3/5ths of it at all due to being so out of it.

Pedialyte seems to be the best for me. You may have a fervent preference for another though.

[worry]

If it makes you feel better for my missed joke opportunity, the repairs are gonna be $300. Also, if you wanted bathroom humor, my front bathroom's toilet is clogged and it overflowed a bit this morning. There are few things in life as panic-inducing as toilet water that won't stop rising. I suppose if I had gastroenteritis and a wonky toilet, that might do the trick.

Mechanical Design Engineer mate, currently working on big trucks in Wolverhampton, before that, JCB twice, a few other truck places lol. How about you?

[Maark Abbott]

And now I have Coal Chamber stuck in my head. Nice job, Thelly.

BIG CHRUCK.

[Gothos]

The polyp up my nose is getting downright infuriating, I keep dry-sneezing all day, goddamn useless nature. And the removal procedure is still 6 months away. Bloody hell.

[Tapper]

Have been having pains in the heel of my right foot for quite a while in the mornings and after running, but ignored it. The the GF and I went to a concert on monday, and I couldn't walk on tuesday from the pain. That made me take it seriously enough to look for possible causes. Self diagnosis: runner's heel. Treatment is going to be very slow, probably loads of rest combined with muscle exercises. At the least, it's well documented, and I probably can catch up with running in january without much overall harm to my progress.
The GF still wants to go to our dancing classes on thursdays and sundays though, which where I will definately feel the pain.

[Illuyankas]

Does she enjoy seeing you in pain, or something?

I don't know

I guess its more that we're on lesson 10 of a 30 week season. Miss 2-4 weeks, and catching up is near impossible, meaning effectively dropping out entirely. I don't think she's willing to do just that (also because I hinted that I don't want to follow another 30 week course next year). The only saving grace is that the christmas break is close, which means a 2 week rest and lots of repetitions in the sessions after it.
