    So one of my IV antibotics is different than my usual because the one I usually have is in short supply, the factory burned down. I was given enough by the hospital to cover me for the weekend as I waited for my pharmacy to get the rest in, usual story. Then my pharmacy tell me the delivery will be delayed and I can't miss a dose so I went to the hospital and got enough for today as the delivery is supposed to be in by now. My pharmacist rings me and tells me that it is in but he has to wait two weeks to get it approved on my long term illness card or else I will have to pay three and a half grand for it! I ring my CF nurse and she is like what is he talking about, most people with CF are on it at the moment because of the shortage, it is on your LTI card. Ring back the pharmacist and he just repeats what he said earlier. He gave me enough for a couple of doses of IVs but if I open the box I have to pay 400 euro. My god, the hassle every time I am on IVs,usually I am not made to pay this much though, I feel like I am in America!

    I'm TA'd for you L Mac B :mad:

    So you have a query on a Utility account. You negotiate your way through the 10 layers of multiple similar sounding options and you have doggedly (after several valiant attempts) almost arrived at human interaction. The system then asks you to key in your account number. You have been here before and hit the keys confidently, there's a pause and a human comes on the line: "Hi there, I'm Gary can I have your account number please?

    What the actual **** do you key in the account number for?

    "Last week, Mary abseiled down the side of a building - this was a huge achievement as she has a fear of heights. However, once on the ground Mary celebrated with a glass of prosecco which Dr. Ciara Kelly was not happy about."

    F*ck right off would ya. Killjoys. A glass of prosecco - A glass, like as in ONE.

    Poor LadyMcB, as if you don't have enough to deal with as it is :(

    I thought it was a bad enough TA when there was only 1 doctor when I went to hospital yesterday because the others were on strike.

    TA So many serious things to prepare for and I don't know how to deal with one let alone all of them. TA Someone repeatedly ringing me while I was talking to someone r.e one of those things, and the incessant buzzing of a call waiting really throwing me off and making it hard to communicate clearly. I kept pausing in mid sentence and remembering that the other person cant hear the buzzing. So confusing!

    And now the buzzing caller is stroppy because he couldnt get through.

    TA THE plates I bought to replace the ones I broke yesterday are so shallow, food slides off if you tilt your wrist a fraction.

    This.
    P1 "Sounds like you will be getting your water payments back"
    P2 "what"?, "oh yea, but it annoys me that the people who didn't pay are getting it back too"
    P1 "Its the money you paid that you're getting back"
    P2 "Bet they'll get my money back too tho"
    Ta'ed I cant figure out if this is stupidity/begrugery or hearing loss.

    My friend was going on and on about how her boss treats her like she is an idiot, I told her to not try to impress him and to work to best practice and fh! she of course went mental about how I didn't know what I was talking about blah blah
    My girl was saying last month that one of her colleagues insists on walking from their shared office to the main road with her, every day, and each day that girl is on the phone and not even attempting to communicate. so obviously using her to get "safely" to her car. I point out that she is being used and to put a plan in place to get out of this as this girl not trying to be her friend, as per I dont know what Im talking about etc etc.
    TA'ed that this kind of thing is happening to my loved one's.

    What kind of thing? Someone walking beside her after work which might make their journeys safer? Or am I missing the point? :confused:

    Pretending to be her friend, so they walk out together while ignoring her.

    How does she pretend to be her friend? Can't say that is something I'd ever take umbrage with myself but different strokes and all that.

    You wouldn't take umbrage with someone using you for THEIR safety while not being one bit concerned about yours?

    Ta'ed that im talking and ppl cant seem to hear me.

    Maybe they just both happen to leave at the same time and walk together but the other girl has calls to make. Maybe she's scared and needs the company. Either way I'm not sure id care. It's hardly using her. She's just walking beside her. It would be using her if she fake chatted to her and then was like "okay byeee"

    This so much! I can't bare conversations in a taxi! I think some taxi drivers think it's a free therapy session for them.

    Please stop talking Mr taxi driver. I don't care about the price of school books or why the streets are quiet. I don't even want you to ask me which way I'd like to go. Just drive me to the address without questions or conversation.
    I want to sit silently in my magic faraway world.

    Far more obvious than that, but I'll have to agree to disagree on this.

    Ta'ed I spent what should be a happy day repeating myself and explaining the bleeding obvious to family today.

    The coat I want isn't available in my size. There's another coat that I like nearly as much, which is available in my size, but I have the fear that if I buy that coat, the other one will come back in stock and then I'll want that one too.

    Too many coats, not enough money.

    The talking in the taxi thing is the worst. I got one back from the gym yesterday cos its a 40 min walk and my legs were gone all jelly and horrible.
    The guy was like how much is it for a year I said I joined for €850 for 6 months. Yes its a lot, but it makes me slim like a normal gym doesnt cos I'm not Mr. Motivator)
    Twice he called me very wealthy (which raged me) and kept bleating on about it.
    I always seem to get these weirdoswhen I use the mytaxi app.
    But I gave galway taxis a bollicking so can't use them.

    We leave our radio on in the kitchen all day and night for our dogs, as we have found it gives them a bit if comfort. So it's on all day and I like listening to the local radio station in the morning, it keeps away the quiet. As part of the news slot, breaking news was that the Kardashians are having another baby. WHATTHEFUCKFUCKOFFAWAYFROMMETHEREISNOFUCKINGESCAPE

    I wish you could be brainwashed into blocking out their name.
