Couch 56...Getting Back to our roots

BPA, that's rough. And that action has been going on for a pretty long time now, hasn't it? Of course I'm all for unions and fighting for rights in the workplace (and I'm a university lecturer myself so I do sympathise with their position) but it's always unfair for the people who get caught in the middle.

I wonder how H can stand it, at all.

To be honest, Apt, I was thinking exactly the opposite.

Mental health act assessment in 30 mins

don't want to be sectioned.

WikidPissah · Jul 25, 2013, 06:40 AM

Apt...I don't think you are asking for much at all.

Nightmares/terrors. Ick. And I awake to grumpy H. And water guy coming a day late, and way to early in the morning, I didn't get the empties out there.

I am working the county fair today...and I am in a foul mood (as you can tell).

WikidPissah · Jul 25, 2013, 06:40 AM

(((noodlzzz)))
good luck.

Jul 25, 2013, 06:49 AM

Morning all, good luck with the assesment nood! Sorry you are having a bad day Wiki.
Day 2... my office is bright with white walls and its filthy... so im going in early to clean it. I think I found the new office *****. Why do people have to be that way? W is coming to visit for the weekend starting today. (((((couch)))))).

Morning couch.

Well...I did not want to get up this morning. So tired. I usually set my alarm for an hour before I need to actually get up in case this happens. So I reset my alarm and slept for another hour.

Off to the senior place in a little bit. Hopefully K will be more alert today, so she can actually play with blocks. We build stuff and then I let her knock it down. She thinks its funny when the blocks fall over.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Eat breakfast.

I don't, at all, but I do feel really stressed out when I feel that things are expected of me without knowing exactly what those things are. I mean, half an hour before people arrive, H is going to get pissed off with me for not doing something that he thought was completely obvious that it needed doing, like empty the dishwasher or something, which I might have thought he was doing or that it could wait until later, or that I'd simply forgotten about. And he knows that that's what will happen, only, for him it's not a problem that it does, as long as the end result is that I do what I'm supposed to. And then H is going into town to meet our guest at the train, and people are probably going to start arriving before they return. I hinted that perhaps we could ask people to come a little later, but that really made H annoyed, so I'll just have to deal as best I can. The people who are likely to arrive first is a couple with two very active children. So much for making the house look nice for our guest. Anyway, it was good that I brought this up. At least now I know what my main areas of responsibility are for cleaning - my study and the terrace - I can handle that.

When writing this I see how difficult I must be to live with. I wonder how H can stand it, at all. I don't make this much fuss normally, though.

Apt, I was thinking exactly the same as FKM. Your H sounds like an *** who I could not live with for any length of time. Not wanting to even discuss the plans? What the hell is up with that? How do either of you know what the plan is if you don't discuss it and divide the tasks? What is so difficult about that? How controlling is he that he expects you to mind read and entertain his friends on his terms without him there?

Thanks for the reminder. I have a deposition to conduct today and I will need to be alert. Taking the depo is way more fun than defending a depo (which I find excruciatingly boring), but I do need to be paying attention and be prepared to figure out follow up questions on the fly and be able to follow tangents and get back to where I wanted to go, while still considering whether that tangent needs to be explored more. So, off to find something that won't make me puke because even though I have done this bunches of times, my stomach still starts flipping.

A granola bar counts, right?

WikidPissah · Jul 25, 2013, 07:19 AM

yep!

yep!

healed84 · Jul 25, 2013, 07:24 AM

WikidPissah · Jul 25, 2013, 07:27 AM

ugh...

I want to kick someone.
I want to scream and yell.
I effing hate the way I feel right now.

going to go shower and sob.

WikidPissah · Jul 25, 2013, 07:28 AM

NO healed, coffee does not count.

Do I need to go over breakfast basics again with you people?

lol

granite1 · Jul 25, 2013, 07:28 AM

apple jacks are a total sighn of class

granite1 · Jul 25, 2013, 07:29 AM

love you wiki grumpy and all .can i be dopey or doc or.....

Jul 25, 2013, 07:38 AM

Hugs to all. I can't sleep I've taken 2 phernegan, did muscle relaxation, my body is exhausted but my mind won't shut up and keeps making me walk around aimlessly. I guess sitting at the computer isn't going to help, so everybody eat breakfast include some fruit. Switch coffee for a egg flip, no have a coffee and an eggflip. Protein and fibre to start your day.

healed84 · Jul 25, 2013, 07:39 AM

No lesson needed

I am going to grab an egg sandwich on the way out to meet a prospective daycare provider.

WikidPissah · Jul 25, 2013, 07:43 AM

Morning granite.
Apple Jax rock.
How's your head?

granite1 · Jul 25, 2013, 08:04 AM

it is ok thanks for asking along with the drink i was also taking vicoden thismorning also so no headache yet but cant say how i will feel later but i am out of her and continuing to run from my thoughts .

WikidPissah · 08:25 AM

(((chickie)))

I hate to tell you this, but thoughts have a way of catching up at the least opportune time. But, good luck with that!

All of these threads on touching have set me off. Ick. just Ick. The thought of hugging, high-fiving or holding hands with a t is really gross to me. What if it grosses the T out? Can s/he not stop simply because they don't like it? They are people too, they can set boundaries and move them when the boundaries seem too close. I don't know, I just don't get it.

stopdog · Jul 25, 2013, 08:14 AM

The whole therapists are people too thing baffles me - while it may be true - I just don't see what it has to do with anything.
Soylent green is people. I think I am going to add that to my signature.
I am not into holding hands with anyone. It makes me feel trapped. I don't do it as much as possible with lovers, small children (unless I am the only adult around and there is no escaping it), or the dogs (paws) and so forth - but some others seem to enjoy it. To each their own.

anyways...what I meant was that if one party no longer wanted to touch the other, they have a right to change their mind and say no...even if it's the therapist. That's all.

It doesn't really matter though.

stopdog · Jul 25, 2013, 08:28 AM

It is just that I have been seeing the "therapists are human" around a lot recently. And I really don't understand how it excuses therapists.
While being human may be inescapable, I don't see it as a benefit to anything.
I have no problem with a therapist changing their mind, I do have a problem with the therapist changing their mind and instead of just saying it is for them, them saying it is for the client that they are doing so.
