Well done! There's no stopping you now.

Only a 2 hour wait in a&e......happy days.

Lady is a tramp

I'm sharing a hospital ward with a girl who has OCD (as in, the actual psychiatric illness, not just that she likes things neat.)

She's a lovely girl and I get on great with her, but I get such perverse pleasure out of being even messier than usual just to drive her mental! :pac: Our cubicles are right opposite each other, and hers is all like, bed made with hospital corners (whatever they are), toiletries arranged in order of size, clothes neatly put away. Whereas my entire cubicle looks like a bomb just hit it!

She spends a lot of time looking wistfully across, "If you'd only allow me ten minutes with that mess ..."

I'll take my little pleasures where I can get them! :pac:

Story Bud?

Wow. It's pretty fcuking nasty to take pleasure from making someone with a mental illness worse.

I'm sure you'd be thrilled if she was sitting drinking wine in your face in an effort to mock you.

If she's such a lovely girl, you should be trying to help her.

LOL her OCD is currently under control, that's not what she's being treated for, she's being treated for alcoholism. (Also as it happens, while I have a history of alcohol abuse, that's not what I'm hospitalised for at the moment. And I have no problem with anyone drinking wine or anything else in front of me.) And yeah we both make plenty of jokes to each other about wine and vodka etc as well. Good to have a sense of humour about these things.

Awwww that made me all happy!

This won't make any sense to anyone, but...Aunt Tanya makes me trivially, goofily happy.

Badly Drunk Boy

I don't know why it made me happy, but a minute ago, I accidentally told a co-worker that I'm Canadian and he believed me so I ran with it! He's only 2 or 3 years younger than me, and he grew up in the estate beside mine (and they're not very big) yet he still believed me. It started when I wished him and his country good luck in the match tonight.

It was probably more satisfying because he's always pulling pranks on people, although I could have backed it up by showing him my @yahoo.ca e-mail account which I've had since the late 1990s.

The look of fear on people's faces when you tap on the window, then the smile when you give them your ticket, makes me happy.

Ireland smashing Italy.

Also, I had a plate on my desk with a large cookie and a jam doughnut.
I started to eat the doughnut, the jam exploded all over the cookie.

My best friends little girl, since she was a little baby has loved my tongue piercing. When she was about 15 months she started sticking out her tongue at me for me to do it back, and as soon as my tongue would poke out, her chubby little hands would try grab that stud. She's always been fascinated.

Now she's 3.5, and she talks and talks and talks. "What's that?" "Why is it there?" "It's very nice" etc. But out of the blue today so told her mammy that she's getting a button on her tongue like auntie Lexie.

God I love her. We are going to have her mammys heart broken as she grows up.

This woman in the Deli of the shop I go to keeps calling me Taylor because she thinks I look like Taylor Swift. I really look nothing like her but it's nice to hear in the mornings!

I get called Chip Lad. Can't fathom why.

Next Friday, I'll be 20 years in this job (or rather...with my employer). This morning I got a letter from HR telling me that because of this, I'll be getting €232 in my wages in December!!

I knew this was coming but not the amount. €232! €11.60 for every year I've been here!!! I think that the amount is hilarious. I think I got €144 for 15 years.

I also get a gift from a catalogue, probably worth about the same amount again. And I'm not putting down the amount. It's always nice to get free stuff. I'd just like to know how they work it out.

Free stuff!!

It's probably a weird amount to allow for tax

Going to a restaurant you have a voucher for.
'Sure I may as well get that...and that... and that...'

I'm really hungry and will be taking lunch in a few minutes. Just thinking about the food possibilities is making me so happy!

I am in an absolute hoop with morning (afternoon, evening and all night) sickness. My niece just sent out 2 lollipops to make me better

McChubbin

My mother is poitering away in the kitchen making cakes for a Euros party we're going to tomorrow.
I'm currently drinking wine and listening to The Gypsy Kings whilst licking mascapone off a whisk.
Simple things, eh?

After a few weeks working away: My own bed, my own pillows, my own shower, my own food, my own air-con, my own car.

I'm sitting in insomnia near the Jervis Centre. Town is very quiet which suits me just fine. I'm full of sugar and caffeine. One of my favourite songs is playing "Secret Garden". It's nice.
No worries until tomorrow and even then I might not bother with them.

Miss Demeanour

Couldn't find the things that make me ecstatically happy thread so this'll do.....it's my last Sunday night setting the alarm for 8 weeks.

Watching the original 101 Dalmatians on TV this afternoon, came across it by accident. I'd not seen it, probably in about 30 years, as it's it's usually the far inferior live action version that's shown on TV. Brought back sweet, sweet memories.

Decent free scoop of chips in the chipper.

Seeing classic films on the tv schedule that are starting and/or finishing at the perfect time to suit me. I will often have the film on dvd but still watch it, even when possibly cut, no chance to pause and going to be worse picture quality.
