    Good morning everyone :)

    Deskside, counting the hours until two weeks of time off begin. And as luck would have it, I feel like I’m coming down with something...

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Happy time off guys.

    *** closes curtains people with extreme camera zoom will be at a loose end ***

    @Auto, when I looked at your picture of the day it was an ass looking at a donkey.

    Is there something wrong with me ?

    Oh really? I just saw one donkey in the pic.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,549 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Hope you feel better soon, thomil.

    This donkey (thanks Auto!) is planning to finish early, have a few drinks and an early night. The darker mornings are affecting my energy levels already, it's going to be a long, miserable winter with the constant threat of further restrictions. Level 5 recommended again. :(

    It's depressing isn't it?
    If only we could just have the freedom to pop into a neighbour or meet a friend in the coffee shop.
    I hope it'll be a mild winter for walks and going for a Sunday drive etc.

    The boss messaged me and said finish early. Result. Dave is on the doss.

    Hope the hooch can cheer the blues for you Leggie!

    Just what can you pull in with X83 optical zoom ?

    Can you pick up people walking on Red Rock over in Sutton ?

    Finished work tf, I've a headache lingering all week, its dull and painful. Plan for tonight is a pizza, wine and telly, I'm going to do very little for the weekend and I'm praying I don't get a message to say we're back WFH, I'll crack up if that happens and I know it's coming.
    Phil Lynott's daughters are on the Late Late so I'm looking forward to seeing them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,783 ✭✭✭GoneHome


    Couchside after a busy day, got the working from home bit finished by 11 a.m. then we headed to town and stocked up on provisions for the next two weeks, glad we got the big shop in as news is filtering through of level 5 coming in this weekend so it will mean not having to venture into town and all that entails with busy supermarkets and shops. Settled in for the evening now, fire blazing, beer chilling in the fridge and a nice roast chicken dinner ready for the oven later.

    I just cooked a chicken stir fry for dinner with naan bread. Now I'm on a cleaning spree. The fridge better be prepared to be stripped naked and searched thoroughly :)

    Getting ready for my last bit of work. I'll be making the most of this weekend. I won't be able to go to my bridal shop appointments under Level 5. Ah well. It's only small compared to the juhe disruption it will cause others :(


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 12,902 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Home office, just off the phone to one of my dissertation students who was running behind for much of the Summer months but is really making up for lost time now.

    Off swimming now and Zoom meet of my home AA group at 8pm. Then taking it easy for the weekend.

    Have a great weekend all! :)

    I won't be cruel. It was with a lovely person from Krakow. I was beyond nervous at first but their smile just put me at ease. We had a lot in common surprisingly. It is still early days but I can't help thinking about them.

    That makes me seem sad and lonely but I promise that is not true. Just they have peaked my interest in a way that hasn't been done in a long time. I hope this makes sense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,411 ✭✭✭thomil


    Hope you feel better soon, thomil.

    Thanks. Locking the company laptop into a closet for two weeks is supposed to be a pretty good remedy, so that's what I just did :D

    On a completely unrelated not, does anyone have any experience with getting a pick-up for a COVID test when you can't drive?

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Thanks Grem but it really won't be that big of a deal. I'll get to go in time and sure don't you know by then I'll have grown in height and reduced in weight :D

    I had to insist they sent the tester to me. It's within walking distance but I was feeling very unwell and can't leave my Dad alone for long and they obliged by sending the ambulance service. I

    Speaking of Grumpy, he was discharged yesterday. His hernia has been left on the long finger. While I was waiting for the ambulance on Wednesday he had a TIA (mini stroke) so the physicians gave him a very thorough check over (scans, bloods, the works) and adjusted his Meds and arranged follow up via gp. Had a massive fright, obviously, but he's fine atm. We knew this would happen but his scans don't show imminent danger of a 'big one' . They can't always be certain obviously, but I'm as reassured as I can be. Overall, delighted with the response of the medical team, disgusted by the surgical team who don't want to go near him to even assess the risk and don't get me started about the p1ss poor communication, his lost trousers and the phone call at 5.30 am on Thurs morning from an on call doc to get the medical history I'd given three times already that day and which she would have had access to in notes but couldn't be bothered to ask for in the e.d.. You can imagine the adrenaline dump I got when the phone woke me up at that hour. I'm still getting over the fright, TBH, between that and watching him have the TIA which I thought was him stroking out on me.

    Now, I'm just taking it easy, trying to enjoy the fact he's doing OK. Sad Mr Sardi can't visit, again. It's going to be a very tough few weeks.

    Mind yer selves, my lovely wherers

    Hugs for sardi, my ma had a tia 3 and half years ago from all the stress my brother was causing her at the time, I'll never forget coming down and finding her in the state I did, I was bawling my eyes out down the phone to the ambulance dispatcher, thankfully she recovered but It frightened the life out of me.
