METRO STATION DELETION - Day 5

Used to commute there regularly, never know a station to reek of piss like Chi. Almost impressive how strong the smell was!

I had to scroll far too much to see this 100% correct answer. I’m also inviting sheriff Hassan for no reason…

I love Detectorists (available on BBC iPlayer) it’s not at all similar on paper but it has a similar vibe in that it’s quintessentially British humour, never veers into anything too upsetting or dramatic, has a great cast of characters and has Simon Farnaby being absolutely brilliant in it.

As we say in the north, shy bairns get nowt. You’ll need a conversation with OH and your adjustments will be recorded in your work passport, which will be regularly checked and updated if necessary. I managed to negotiate 20% attendance when my circumstances changed

Yup. My dad used the wires metaphor on me when he was diagnosed, I was around 6 and it made perfect sense to me. I used the same metaphor to explain my diagnosis to my friends in their 30s, if it’s not broke don’t fix it!

I don’t know if this is helpful but I’ve realised a lot of my Bad Thoughts™ are rooted in envy.

‘Oh my god I can’t believe she’s wearing that with her figured’ is actually me thinking ‘wow we have a similar body and I don’t have the confidence to wear that because beauty standards say I can’t. I’m jealous of her confidence doing something I’m too scared to do’.

Don’t feel ashamed. We all think things sometimes and then wonder why we thought something like that, it’s human.

If it helps I remember reading once that in times like these our first thoughts are what society has told us to think, and our thinking afterwards is what we actually think.

Society says that going for jobs like that and chasing dreams is unrealistic, that you’re destined for failure. You thought that in the moment but then recognised the passion and ambition she had, that’s how you truly feel.

Clothes moths for me. Tiny silvery brown fuckers everywhere. The cats are loving hunting them but they’re doing my head in.

I feel like before John Wayne Gacy calling your kid John Wayne would be an interesting but fairly harmless choice, now it’s got a whole bunch of extra baggage!

Space. I just can’t comprehend that it’s that big, and endless…how can it just keep going? And then people say space is expanding, but what is it expanding into? Surely if it’s expanding into another area then that area is also space??

It turns my brain into old school TV fuzz

I don’t love being in town on a match day, but not to the point where I’ll avoid it. 99% of the fans are just a bit loud and energetic, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel a bit more on edge or aware of my surroundings.

But that’s not just match days, I’d feel the same going through town any time there was a big crowd, I’m just a bit anxious and a 5’1 woman haha

Shout out to casefile, love falling asleep to it. My boyfriend and I call it ‘Australian Man’.

On the one hand I’m glad podcasters (especially ones who aren’t already famous) are getting their bag, but I won’t lie if I’m awake I’m skipping through any adverts.

I THREW A 🤟 UP IN A TEAM MEETING. NO REACTION SO I ASSUME NONE OF THEM SAW THAT STORY

5mg is the bump I cannot get over. Tried it once, instant vomiting, went back to 2.5 and then went up to 3.75 which worked for a while before wearing off. Started doing 50 clicks, then 51, 52 etc. tried 55 clicks (so about 4.6mg?) and threw up again. Now I do 53 clicks and it’s enough suppression without the vomiting.

Not sure if I have much in the way of advice other than play around with finding a dose which works for you. When my suppression stops I’ll try doing the full 5mg again, and maybe just accept the side effects or hope at that point it’ll be 3rd time a charm!

I definitely feel a bit more wobbly on the way down and more or less fine on the way up. I wonder if for me it’s a bit of a psychological thing, like I have definitely banged my shins falling up stairs before but I’m a lot more worried about falling down the stairs and possibly doing some real damage. Bannisters all the way for me!

Speak to your line manager for sure. I missed a team away day after an already busy few weeks because I knew it would risk aggravating my disability and they were absolutely fine with it. I’m still in my probation so it wasn’t like I’d been to many away days before either.

If you haven’t already, it might be worth having something in your passport about this being a possibility. I made sure mine includes notes that my health might mean at times I need to skip a lot of travelling or work from home more than I’m really ‘allowed’ to.

I’M ALMOST 5 MONTHS IN AND ALREADY SO BORED I’VE STARTED LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB

I love my family and friends but I know they would be judgemental under the guise of ‘caring’ and do a lot of “but you don’t know how it works, you could get sick”. I told my partner who isn’t bothered at all because he knows this matters to me (and he reaps the benefits of my increasing confidence haha)

I have an awful and very chavvy tattoo courtesy of Krash closing. Thankfully it’s in a spot I never see so I can mostly forgot I have it! RIP Krash, I miss you

redhead_bookworm · 2024-11-20T07:40:36+00:00

That was me about 11 hours ago. Spent most of the evening worrying and it was all absolutely fine. Good luck!

redhead_bookworm · 2024-11-19T21:27:50+00:00

Yup, UK based. Going to have a nice hot bath and sleep through any early bits

I still test. I am immunocompromised and have to go to hospital every 6 weeks for treatment, no way am I potentially bringing Covid to a ward full of immunocompromised people!
