Couch 171: Scams R Us

I'm worried she'll tell her boss and get me in trouble or use it against me later.

You are indeed the ring master Una.

I just had some excitement this afternoon. I head to the bathroom and its all hot and steamy and im like wtf? Some MORE plaster had fallen from the ceiling and turned on the hot water tap in the tub, AND some plaster had plugged the screen trap so the tub was just starting to overflow. You never saw this old lady move so fast! I guess i can do it when i absolutely have to. Like lifting a car when your ice cream cone is trapped under it or something...!

I guess I don't see how scars could get you into trouble at work. Scars have nothing to do with job performance. Most people don't consider it their business, anyway, in my experience.

What if she asks about them tomorrow when I see her?

You had me at hot and steamy...

I think your plaster problem needs a T to fix it.

Honestly it's none of her business to ask.

Your boss cant ask you about your SKIN. If she does, just say its not contagious and you are under a doctors care for it, if thats what she is asking about. But wait for her to ask.

It’s like a Rube Goldberg.

Yeah, I remember how fast you moved when SD tried to throw your moonpies into the shark pit. It was The Catch all over again.

But what if she does ask? What do I say to her?

I know I'm scum

idk whether she assumed my poor departed furbaby Ebony was responsible for any of them, she hates cats

Haha!

Actually i had bank the other way, i have to pay them!

A) None of your beeswax, bee-yotch.
B) I’m reporting you for violating EU policy on...(there’s bound to be an EU policy against asking about scars)
C) I’d rather not discuss it, thank you.
D) Have I ever told you about my previous career as a dragonslayer?

I’d go for C myself.

Yeah, I want my steak dinner!

If she asks I like una's suggestion.

Well, I'm still ending. Just, over a couple months instead of cold turkey like she said. Mostly it was the panic attack I had over the weekend that made me say yes to coming back for a bit.

My family taught me how to lie. Just tell the truth.

I'm nothing. If it wasn't for my work uniform nobody would see me walking around where I work. I'd be invisible.

I deserve nothing good.

I don't even deserve friends on this forum. Or anywhere.

You DO deserve good! And friends! Hugs

Any suggestions on how to tell h that I'm going back to therapy for a short time?

Just decided to knock myself out with benzos I shouldn’t even have after panicking for an hour about an in my head imminent third world war... I hate being so anxious about things I can’t know or change. I wished my T was back from his vacation already, there’s no way I’m gonna last two weeks like this.

Ooo! I know....

Surely one of those will work.

I used to tell people i was an axe murderer if the said anything about si scars. I thought it was funny being a nurse and all, until the granny killer incident then i stopped. A bit extreme but i was like that back then hardly anyone asked

Let me check again which way he was betting...
