It's dawn, it's cold; it's wet.
A better reason to stay in I have yet to think of.

I actually like that time of day. The world before all the morons wake up and ruin it. ;)

Really? That is how you respond to me sharing my fears and concerns?

Seriously? To remind me of something else that makes me sad?

Wow. Sometimes you just really do not get it. At all. :(

I feel your pain. :rose:
 
'Kay guys, I am sort of back but not quite up to the flirting. Cuz things have been so fuck awful that I didn't even feel like coming on AH and going Oooh la la.

I made a trip to Über Stepford which I wrote about it in this blogpost really to warn off PennLady! whom I remembered had expressed concern about some elderly relatives and was obviously thinking about getting involved and helping out. Acksherly I don't mean you should not help your elderly relatives, LOL. But if they are as depressed as my Outlaw Dad, you should only do so as a last resort cuz it honestly sucks up my whole life if I do not put up the bullshit deflectors.

Things got worse after I wrote that blogpost cuz Outlaw Dad accused me of attempting to steal his car when I hid the keys. (I hid them because he has constant hallucinations including of young children and I did not want him to cream some kid crossing the road in front of him with his ton and a half of Ford motor car under the impression that it was just a hallucination induced by his medication. No no, in spite of constant representations that if your muscles freeze up such that you cannot even walk to the bathroom at times perhaps you should not drive, he has continued to get in the car and drive. Although he can't even shut the door properly so he drives with the door alarm going off saying it's a fault in the alarm mechanism.)

Since I had just spent four difficult days with Outlaw Dad, sometimes literally picking up his shit, I smacked his nose very hard for this bit of total abuse, and made him cry, but although he is still apologising I am not in a good mood about it.

And I am not in a good mood about going to a teaching team meeting at which - after my smacking her nose in the summer - our previously appalling line manageress listened and took our views into consideration such that all the other teachers had to scrape their jaws off the floor, and finding out that others had got new contracts which I - with more experience - had also applied for but I didn't even get an interview. (To be fair, the line manageress is very good to me these days, this was teaching being given out by another line manager.)

And I am also going to shove a broken vacuum cleaner somewhere the sun doesn't shine (without lubrication) if someone who earns about $100,000 per year continues to say he can't afford to spend $250 on a new one - especially considering he is the jerk who broke the vacuum cleaner by never cleaning the fluff out of it.

After a long period of dealing with lovely fascinating things like the above, instead of getting to muck about with my Piglet, I am returning to my review blog and hoping to seriously make a go of it. So if you feel a li'l bit sorry for me about all this, don't leave me a rose, go on my blog and give me some feedback on it. I would really very much appreciate that.
:kiss:
 
Three more weeks of work until I am on vacation, and Las Vegas! Two more pay checks supposedly too. Yay! :D
 



Jeeeezzzzzzzzuzzzzzzz H. Fucking Keeeeeeeriiiiiiiist




Do you realize that, to run a 2:04 marathon, you've got to run at a pace of about 4 minutes 30 seconds per mile for TWENTY-FUCKING-SIX miles (and 385 yards) ?


Do you realize that, to run a 3 minute 50 second mile, you've got to run at a speed of 15½ goddamn miles per hour?


Holy shit. It's impossible to believe that a human can do these things.

Every time I laterally push off of, or pivot off of my left foot my left knee feels like it is going to pop right inside of and a little above the kneecap area. This sucks.
 
I am just about to drift off to sleep, then...CRASH! The cats find something else to knock over.
 
Our then Prime Minister, said on his 1997 winning night: "Education Education Education ".
The results of his plans are now in senior school.
They are thick as a brick; know nothing and care less.

I wish he'd lost that election!
 
I've returned for a meeting about a local government consultation part two.

In part one, 92% of the responses rejected the proposals and gave a multiplicity of reasons for their rejections.

They were passed unamended.

The local community groups attending tonight were not impressed. They said, forcefully, that they had been ignored in part one and would be ignored in part two, so what was the point of asking for our input?

I queried the statistical basis of the proposals. The answers only confirmed my fears. The brief for the studies requires only certain statistics to be used, even if those doing the study know that the figures are both out of date and wrong.

They are supposed to be made 'future-proof' by taking into account housing developments in our district forecast for the next five years.

But they can only consider housing developments for which planning permission has already been granted even though we know that 5,000 houses will be the subject of planning applications in the next five years. Because those applications have not already been approved, they don't count...

Why do I bother?
