    Ok, so what's worrying you the most right now? They say a problem shared is a problem halved. Being AH, it might be a case of a problem shared is a poster mocked, but leaving aside the mockers, the knockers and the downright fockers, what is your biggest worry today?

    In the good tradition of AH, i.e the d.O.P.e who starts the thread has to contribute - things are very tight at the moment on the liquidity front. It's temporary and will pass, hopefully, but it's a worry and the nice bailiff turning up this eve out of the blue to relieve me of a large wodge of cash didn't reeally help either. Luckily, I had it,( I feckin don't now), or else I'd be lamenting the loss of my couch. So AH, what's your worry this fine day? Share, so we can care(or not, depending on the humour).

    N. Korea, used condoms, soiled tampoms, Muslim fundamentalists, the catholic church, Israel, tayto chocolate, single mothers, social welfare, skangers, swan eaters etc. all bug the hell out of me.

    Yeah yeah, but do they worry you? Are they your No.1 worry? Doubtful. I'd imagine it's that hard lump in your left rock, or your teenager shooting heroin in the front room, or the car crash you had on the M50. Kims an annoying needy fecker, but he's hardly a worry.

    Have you anything heavy within reach that you could chuck at the TV? Or is there anybody else in the gaff you could shout at to come in and change the channel?

    That's what I'd do 'n all 'n anyways.

    I've Marley.

    He's a black Boston terrier. Hates been thrown though.

    Mentioned a bout of depression I had in the last year on a medical form a filled out for an interview yesterday. :( WHY did I do that? And I really want the job! The interview went well... but when they read the form? Forget about it.

    Adrian Kennedy phoneshow is on, endless useless arguments arrrrgh.

    I applied to Uni as a mature student and hope I didn't f up the written exam last Saturday. I hope the cats don't have fleas, better buy some of that stuff for their necks tommorrow.. I have a wash on and it's taking bloody ages.

    Does he hate being thrown more than you hate Jimmy Carr? Your house, your rules.

    Or you could learn a lesson from this unfortunate situation. Next time you can be arsed moving, spend the energy wisely and train Marley to fetch the remote! This of course means you shouldn't throw him now. Dented dogs are rubbish at fetching remotes.

    I know how you feel, I've got a project due tomorrow morning at 10am, I've had about 8 months to do it and I've got about 1/250th done. So tempting to just crack a can and give up!

    Unless you're dealing with utter w4nkers, that shouldn't be an issue. Best of luck with it.

    Worried that I may need a filling as one of my teeth is starting to hurt

    Worries lads, worries. There's another thread for what annoys ye, one for what annoys others about you and loads on the Adrian Kennedy phone show(justifiably so). What is worrying you? Not bugging you, not causing you a rash, not mildly irritatating you. What is causing your hair to go grey, your pubes to fall out and your tossing and turning at night? And alopaecia doesn't qualify, unless it also worries you.

    I really have nothing to complain about. Its not due till mid July, and I've organised a 3 day week till June to get it bet into shape. From June on that turns into a 7 day weekend till September.

    Guess what cushy job I'm retraining to leave?

    I pay somebody 60 euro an hour to talk to me.

    Thanks, I hope it somehow works out. I put it down because if I do the job, I'll have to have a medical anyway, and they'd prob get info from my current doctor too (with my consent, but I couldn't really refuse) and my GP is a straight up guy who wouldn't lie. (nor would I expect him to. :) )

    Well don't tell them about your turtle friends anyway!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,541 ✭✭✭Smidge


    I tried to do something good and honest and decent and have ended up destroying my children's and oH's lives. Have put my home and basically everything at risk because of it.
    What worries me is how I can live with the guilt of what I have done to the people I love the most.

    Very easy to focus on the one thing you think may have gone wrong. Whoever was interviewing you definitely knows somebody who has been through similar. Who doesn't these days?

    Tell us about the stuff that went well so we can tell you you're fab!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭pharmaton

    should have said I already pay someone 60 euro an hour to talk to ;)
    wouldn't mind if he talked for an hour though, that'd be grand.

    In which case, you probably havn't destroyed anything long term. Short term maybe, but I hope long term karma sorts it out for you. Hang about for the long term, It'll be grand, it usually is:)

    TBH I'm fuming with myself, I really should have known better.
    But oh no, I've walked us all into trouble.

    As for the short term?
    Nothing short term about losing your house and making your children homeless:(

    Damn, I'm stooopid!

    Also, would love to set a dose of karma on a few folks right about .........NOW;)

    Well, at the end, they asked me if I'd been scoping out the area. (I'd be relocating if I got it) That's a good sign... right? RIGHT?????

    Is it the type of job that having a previous bout of depression will be relevant?

    Well, it'd be busy and focussed lab work, so I'm not sure really. Maybe they might have concerns about concentration?

    If it's lab work I don't see how your past bout should hold any relevance and should not stop them from employing you.
    You'll do fine and if they don't take you on, their loss!
