@Sky If moving your jaw gets difficult consider using a straw ( liquid diet, but still....)

Pretzill

Deskside listening - Erik Satie - Gymnopédies & Gnossiennes on Youtube. Gives my heart a lift.

Sorry to hear that Aspie it can be a difficult time. Look after yourself.
All work done and I'm taking a few weeks off now, so I'm in that half relaxed not sure if I can relax mode

Haven't had a Friday wine in a few Fridays as I'm on a health kick, so a litre of ice cold water is my accompanient to Satie this fine evening.

At home, hoping Seph is okay.

A few more beers here on my days off. Got sucked into a bit of work email rubbish this evening with sad dopes that have no lives. Told them to fook right off. I'm on the path to Christmas and then a new start in London work wise. Feeling very emotional as it approaches. Won't be easy as I'm a family man.:(

Can ye all work taps ? would lever taps help ?

e.g. https://s.taps4less.com/PIE/D-DLV102--B.jpg

Last time I looked, Woodies had things to convert standard turn taps to lever taps.

Still off my meds but the one thing I’m noticing I’m struggling with is unlocking and locking the front door

Big fluffy dressing gown check.
Tub of Ben and Jerry's peanut butter cup check.

Still Kitchen side and listening to the Sisters of Mercy - Vision Thing. It doesn't get better than this when alone.

Hail a Mary!

That’s tough g how often will u get home ?

In the kitchen with the laptop on the counter playing some music.
That "dance monkey" song isn't my usual cup of tea at all but something strangely uplifting about in a cheesy way so hey ho, it will do for now.
Video is beyond creepy though.
Fleetwood Mac Go your own way next, always lifts the mood and without the modern thing where you have to create the most ludicrous video possible to try to be different.

Anyway, crap week briefly illuminated by a Merseyside derby win. Yesterday was one of those days where I wished I had stayed in bed.
Started off with a customer telling me I had printed the wrong job. Granted, I actually had. And I VERY seldom make a mistake at work but I did this time and owned up to it and spent the day putting it right. And to be fair they were sound about it.
Everyone makes mistakes, took it on the chin and sorted it and they were very polite about it too.
But then the minute I had that sorted I got another cranky call claiming I had delivered the wrong quantity of another job.
I get maybe 2 calls per year giving out, let alone 2 in a day. Anyway, luckily I had a record of an email from them proving I was right. But they were narky as hell and only accepted responsibility when they received copies of emails.
Two minutes after that I got a call from mechanic telling me my van is in need of a new computer. I didn't even know vans had computers!!! Apparently its a huge deal and would cost half the value of the van.
Got off the phone then and the icing on the cake was some woman ringing and saying she's calling me from the Registrars office and that I'm due to be married today and she's wondering where I am!!!!!!!
By now I actually felt dizzy. :pac:
Had to try to calmly explain that this was something that had been called off a year ago or whatever and emails had been exchanged confirming that it wasn't going ahead at the time etc.

Sweet jaysus!!

But today was grand.

Once a month. Its cool Sky. Gotta do it at my age. Nothing much in Ireland for me now. Bigger money in the UK for my skills. Not appreciated here anymore.

Couchside - just in after a few hours strolling around Grafton Street looking at the Christmas windows and people watching. It is going to kick off in there tonight! And there'll be many many casualties of war tomorrow. Was nice though, great atmosphere about the place.

John Creedon is playing a blinder tonight

Going on my own. Following a late late dream of work. If things work out, they may join me. I hope so. That would be great. Absolutely great. But one step at a time for now.

I'm way older than you Sky and still I'm unhappy here. Worked out beyond madness. No room in the suitcase love. Can't wait to leave, but the family left behind for now is an obvious issue.

Fair play to you, that's a huge step. One thing I do know from experience is family are very resilient when it comes to one of them branching out to better themselves or follow a dream. They'll be right behind you, take strength from that.

Driving a FANUC here.

RRP unaffordable! Ah crikes you just saw a future I don't like! :-) Although a permanent ironer no questions asked sounds excellent!
