My computer screen has Gone Troppo . It’s currently showing all white values as neon aquamarine, and black has turned red, whilst other colours are all shades in between, except what they’re supposed to be. 
Browsing the BB has just turned into an acid trip…

It’s gorgeous!

Offline I accepted a friend request from a girl in my German class that I rarely talk of. Of course it goes up on your Facebook profile that you’ve accepted a friendship request and people can comment on it well now all my dickhead friends have posted “this is the girl you were talking about?”- as if I’m in love with her or something. I barely know the girl but I’ll have to go up to her tomorrow and apologise for my a*****e friends trying to f*****g ruin one of my two friends that I’ve made in college.
F**k sake like.

Flat 7-Up does the trick for an unsettled stomach- it’s Irish mammy’s specialty. If you were dying they would recommend flat 7-Up. I hope she gets better soon.
Funnily enough in my economics exam this morning, my stomach lurched about 1/2 way through- I thought, “oh jesus any time but now, I hate leaving during an exam” but I survived, straight after I ran to the bathroom and threw up…. I think I ate too much breakfast. Curse you fruit and fibre!

Why else would you accept a friend request otherwise?
Your dickhead friends should be glad you’ve found love…
A crap, if it could go wrong it was going wrong day…
Phone’s fecked up. It won’t charge. Charger ain’t bust. Tried it in next-door’s, and it wouldn’t charge there…
New phone to be bought…
Got a little pissed while seeing, and staggered out early afternoon saying I needed a coffee before an urgent trip to the shops, especially for a data top-up for me laptop…
Woke up at 10:30-ish with most shops shut…
Can’t be completely out of touch though, so walk to Carlton Parade to get a top-up at the garage…
Ooo! Chicken place is open, I’ll get meself some ribs after grabbing a top-up…
Feck! Now shut and I can seeing them putting ribs in bin! Barstewards! I’d-a bought those, you feck-wits!
Got my webby thing up and running again once we got home, and there was an email from the post office confirming they have lost my parcel that I sent to myself from Liverpool, about £300 in books…
Only bright moment was the girl across the hall in No. 11, who I don’t know.
Apparently she’s been away a couple of weeks, got back today, and a lovely card from @Ahhh Girl’s mom, Ahhh Mom, had been stuck through her door while away…
Lovely lady, Ahhh Mom… Spoke to her recently when AG stuck the phone on speaker for the delight of my British accent…
Sounded like AG in stereo… 
Loved it! 
Made me smile. Thanks Ahhh Mom…

Now you say it Ron……I do love her. Thank you for helping me realise that, I shall inform the dickheads immediately!
I hope she has a balcony, the only way I proclaim my love to people is through a dramatic balcony scene.
Also ah isn’t AG’s mam sweet.
Sorry about your parcel, hopefully it’ll make it’s way somehow to you, ( £300 worth of books, we are similar souls).

Offline Oh no, they lost your books, RN. Are they going to pay you for them? Do I need to come back so we can go around buying them all again?
Did Ahhh Mom put the correct address on the envelope? I’ll make sure she knows you got the card.
I wonder if Paul or Ringo would like to gaze at your acid trip screen, @Beatlebug. Might bring back memories for them. Can you take a picture or do a screen capture?

Yer mam got the address right, @Ahhh Girl. Just crap postman sticking it through the wrong door. I regularly get things addressed to my door number but intended for Riverside Close, which – as you know – is close to my address, but the c-word just ain’t right!
I’ll be refunded my postage, but not the value of the books because I didn’t take out insurance.
I’ll say a thank-you to Ahhh Mom on Facebook in a bit.

Offline I’m currently counting down the days till Friday, when I get 16 days off of school. Unfortunately we don’t have exams this week, but instead we have them 2 weeks after Christmas break. This broken schedule has been in in place for before I was in middle school (so more than 7 years), and just recently has it been set to change in the 2017-2018 school year…or the year after my senior year……

If rebuying them is an excuse for you to come back, then yeah, I need you to hold my hand while I travel the country trying to rebuy them.

I wish I could click my heels together and be in the UK quickly. I’d pop over often and have dinner with you and Hanna. I’d hang out with Ellie more. I’d finally somehow get to meet @meanmistermustard.
Now I’m wishing I could click my heels together and be anywhere. Ireland…Australia…Netherlands….

I think that’s forbidden by the God ‘s to every happen.
After about 5 days of losing all appetite and desire to eat anything I have my appetite. I worked 6 days out of 7 and slept for much of the 7th as was totally shattered. Now on my 3 days off I am running about going to and from Glasgow for snooker and work training before heading back to work on Friday for back to back 14.5 hour shifts before a whole day off on Sunday.

Nope. That’s the shift – tho I did agree to the second as they needed cover. It’s social care where the hours are long and the pay is crap, if you do it for the money you are an idiot. I like the team I am in, I like the service users and I’d rather do that than 8 hours in an office. I once worked in a shop and after 20 minutes of an 8 hour shift I wanted to die. I was crap at my job as I didn’t give a s**t because I hated it due to the total boredom.
I have a 25 hour a week contract and one shift is 14.5 hours so i only have to be in 2 days a week and my hours are done. I’m going to go out and volunteer in the community in January to give something back by helping those in need. My bills will be paid and I have zero desire to waste my days up the wall with holidays and filling time.

Good on you.
And believe me I know about the crap hours and pay, my brother is training to be a nurse and he works in a private nursing home on the weekends where they have 12 hour shifts. He doesn’t like management there though and wants to get into a public home as the pay is better but he’ll have to wait for vacancies to crop up.

One of the biggest issues is those higher up the chain of command who would find it difficult to pick many of the service users out of identity parades but are making the decisions that directly affect the lives of those who are being supported/cared for. Sometimes you have to make decisions where its to hell with the box ticking as the service user comes first. I’m firmly of the opinion i’ll walk or get sacked over something that I cannot agree to or pisses me off too much.
