Post Whatever You Are Thinking At This Very Moment

I want to try to find my dad. I've done nothing wrong and he'll look after me. Shall I sing to him? He was singing in the 60s. I love my dad. My dad is the best. I love my dad. Not spoken to him for a while, but he's one of those people who can tell you things are OK and you believe him.. I'm 50 but I still need him. My dad is the best.
you should go camping! take a solo camping trip. no drinking. get back to nature. can you do that? that's my professional recommendation.
 
How can I talk about my dad? I reckon he's the only person who knows me. I love that man to bits. He felt I was not worthy of being his son, although he did have a gay friend. It wasn't the fact I'd turned out gay, it was just that I couldn't be the son he wanted. I reckon he had a soft spot for his gay friend. They used to play badminton together. He'd always looked after him and in those days you were chancing an arm and leg if you were associated with a gay man. It was in the days when you could be arrested for having a gay partner. Anyway, Alan said to my dad, 'do you want me to stay away now you've had kids?' My dad said 'No, you're my friend, and my kids will love you as much as me' We always found him terribly peculiar and rather educated. I feel it was brave if my dad to befriend a gay man in those days. It wasn't the thing to do. His friendship overrided all those concerns. That's why I love my dad.
my grandma had a gay friend too. this wasn't back in the 50 or 60s or whatever, so it's not really the same thing. it was in the eighties and early nineties. his name was dave and he had a book shop with his partner bob. bob was cruel and left him and then dave found out he had aids and my grandma was always there for him, driving him the 3 hours to the hospital and back, while he laid on the back seat describing his colonoscopy. my grandma was an opinionated often prejudiced and condescending woman, so im proud of her that she was enlightened enough in this situation.
 
She went to the concert last night.
Great news and thanks a lot for calming me down. Yes she used to play the oboe and goes to classical gigs at times and perhaps the odd opera like that mad woman in London whose from Ireland and begs me to see her but what about Pilla?

Women......

She went to the Moz gig of course, I get it now LH.
 
Alan was the loveliest, gentleist, person you could ever meet. He had a relationship with my dad that was second to non. My dad would defend him to the hilt. I loved the dynamics of the relationship. My dad was taking a big chance in those days, but he admired the man's brain. He'd taken him under his wing at college and it didn't matter that he was gay. My dad learnt a lot from him. I wish they could meet up again now, but they drifted apart. He was a special friend, exotic, and different to my dad's other friends. He was a lovely, gentle man. Part of dad's past. I'm proud of him still for taking to someone like that. He still speaks of Alan in reverential terms.

It annoyed me, because my dad thought it was OK to have a gay friend, but haivng a gay son was a bit too much for him. I haven't spoken to him for a while because I didn't want him or my mum knowing that I've been off work. They can't seem to understand how difficult it is for me. If I told them I had mental health problems they'd think it was,
a reflection on them. With mum and dad, it's always work first. Well I'm back on Monday, I'll talk to them in my own time and they'll be non the wiser. Just glad I didn't get put in a cell when i got picked up by the police. That would have been my job down the drain and my home taken from me

Do you think they have options where you can retrain and do something else? You've worked for them a long time and then you had this issue which is really a medical issue. It seems like there would be other ways the government could utilize you. You might be much happier and less stressed.
It sounds like they have changed your job and got you doing things like wearing headphones that affect you. I know you have some kind of sensitivity to sound. There should be other options for someone who has been there so long.
What has happened isn't shameful. It's the same as if you had any other kind of medical issue.

Good luck on Monday. Hugs
 
It was the 18 months with the headphones that did me, Truth. It wasn't the job I was signed up to do. I'm an administrative officer. When you have bereaved people unhappy at the level of service they're receiving and you're not allowed to tell them you have a backlog it makes you look incompetent. In my old office you could tell people. I always said it went wrong as soon as we referred to people as 'customers'. They're not customers, they're taxpayers. Let the ministers tell them why things are taking so long. Don't make me apologise. These are the same people who were asked to get us out of the EU and they've still not managed it after 3 years. If I was asked to do a job and I said well, I'll do it in my own time and then I might not even bother, I'd have been sacked. These are the same people who say I've not been worth a pay rise for the past ten years. Idiots.
Imagine your job after Brexit is done and settled!

LOL

They call everyone a customer now even at hospitals but it only applies to private care to be honest. You cannot find a good service anywhere these days and whenever you end up talking to someone born in the 90's they are unable to get anything right and will start crying if you complain.

The biggest reason everything will collapse is because of the 90's snowflakes who are the most self centered morons the world has ever seen. I hate them all and want them dead.
 
When will the last of those smelly workers return home from their resorts so that I can fly abroad and get some decent service?

They have it far too good. Time to give them some competition and really use EU as a way to lower wages and put pressure on these spoilt bitches.

The service during summer is better than the one you get when the regular staff returns. We should also shorten the holidays for school children who needs to study harder which includes the pampered teachers.

If you work you should work not go on constant holidays. Think about me who's allergic to workers, they give me a rash.

Back to work you populace hoi polloi.

Yuck!!!!!!!
 
Such interesting plot lines developed for me. I’m afraid I’m quite boring in comparison. I was off celebrating my birthday. And yes, taking a break from all the negativity that was going on here. It wasn’t creating a festive mood for me. Thank you for your concern for me and I’m sorry to have worried you. I’ve been a very naughty TAT, apparently.

Now whose going to fill me in on all the happenings? What have I missed? What’s the gossip? Who hates each other now? Who loves each other? Who is the biggest c***? I need the dets.

me and poli are still very much in love though I've moved on to bun buns garden for a while cuz he treats me better. that's all you need to know!
 
When I went out to meet my mother this afternoon, this guy passed me on the sidewalk and said, “Things are going to get a lot better and really soon.” I replied, “It’s likely.” To which he burst out laughing and just kept on walking. Never seen him before in my life. But I like how he thinks. My ever supportive mother said when I related this to her, “Well, it’s hard to see how it could get worse.” That may be true, however.....
