Visible to anyone in the world

Today I spent doing the final bits of a bad TMA, and trying to ensure that somone would not be sacked.

What do you think that you are good at? Almost certainly you aren't good at that. I'm crap at almost everything, except for the one thing that I really suck at: dealing with people.

Which I had to do today. A fellow alcoholic [binge-drinker] went off the rails. I spent today on the phone talking to people; liars.

I saw what happened. The fix is going to be hard, and may not be achieveivable. We are in the grind of a mill that we will never understand.

Sounds like you need to switch the brain off and get some sunshine preferably with a cold drink in a misted glass whilst sat in a sunny garden with a lovely country view.

You are not crap merely having a crappy time and these times pass, in a couple of months you won't even remember what is happening now.  So plaster a grin on your mug, not only will it make you feel better but it will irritate the hell out of everyone else.  (I had a really nasty customer and the more she ranted the more I smiled - by the time she left the office she was fuming, but could do damn all because I hadn't been rude or obstructive)

Whoa! Feeling a bit down there! wink Managed to sort it all out today; mate rehired and TMA not as bad as I thought.

Still, a day sitting in the garden in the sun with a small something is one the cards for the weekend. You are a doctor aren't you Cathy? And that is a prescription, isn't it?
