;D thank you jase x

i will lay 6/0 = 18 = 6 = my score is 14 so far

ojive = 4
luvly = 14
jase = 4

;D

Right. That's it.

You played that 0/6 card without getting international clearance for it - I'm pretty damn sure it was in my hand when I put the 3/0 down. A quick flick through the rules und regulations shows that the penalty for this 'crime' is the deduction of all points gained whilst playing that card - I make that -6. Oh, you also played out of turn (I assume we're having 4 players?), which is an 8 point penalty in it's own right.


ojive = 4
jase = 4
------------
luvly = 0


;D

[luvlydory]

I didn't play out of turn, the others couldn't go they paid me their penny each ! ;D

so i'll thank you to give me my points back, and go have your tantrum elsewhere !?

Today's Rant.

I've had a sh*t day today. This started because I am not at all well. I have the worst tummy bug imaginable, which means I've had the worst stomach pains I've ever experienced (and being a woman, trust me i know what it is to suffer). I also feel generally crap and can't be arsed to do anything.

On wednesday I told my boss that as things were I didn't feel well enough to come in the next day. He said to call by 6pm to let them know whether i was coming. Finished at 2:30, went home and fell asleep. Woke up feeling better so called and said I was coming in. Went to bed as early as possible.

Woke up yesterday morning in absolute agony. As soon as I was physically able to move I got a doctor's appointment. Became rigid with agony and fell over on the way home. Went to work anyway, cos it was too late to get cover and they'd be utterly screwed without me...thought i'd better take it easy instead. Found out that nobody had told me but i was on a training course today. My shift was from 2pm yesterday to 1pm today. Training 9:30-12:30. No problem.

Got up this morning, still at work, still in pain despite lots of drugs. One of the 2 members of staff i was working with (essential, since I was going to spend most of the shift on the training course) didn't turn up. The other one was, to be charitable, not the sharpest tool in the box. He's from an agency and has worked with us loads of times before, but still hasn't the faintest idea what he's doing and is always interrupting me when I'm doing something uninterruptable like supporting a client to take medication, to ask really stupid questions like "This cup is broken, shall I throw it away?" No- you should put it on your f*****g head and pretend to be a Dr Seuss character.

Anyway, I spent the first part of the shift supporting him as much as the clients we're supposed to be supporting. Staff 2 (also agency, but very good) turned up almost an hour late. At least she did turn up though. I then booked my cab for training, but because I'd had to leave it so late they couldn't get one to me on time. Hate being late. Had to be 15 minutes late. Still didn't have time for breakfast or a break.

Did the training thing in pain. Couldn't take much in but at least I was sitting down rather than running around like i usually do at work.

Afterwards I couldn't wait to get home. I'd booked a cab for 12:30. Two people offered me lifts and I had to turn them down because I'd booked a cab, but after they'd gone the cab didn't even turn up. Called the cab company. the gits had sent it at 12 and couldn't send another one until 1:30. Sod that i thought, because i was due to finish at 1. Had to phone work explaining why I wasn't coming back. This used up all of the rest of my mobile credit, which I was going to use to get in touch with a friend on the way home.

Had to walk in hot sunshine carrying 2 very heavy folders for ages through the worst part of the borough. Got lost. Eventually found civilisation and went to 3 different shops looking for something for lunch, but there was bugger all (I had absolutely nothing at home). Waited ages boiling hot for a bus, getting really hacked off with the heavy folders. bus was packed. Spent journey trying to decide whether to get off at the stop right outside my front door, relax for a bit and then later go out again and get food, or get off a stop early, get food then go home and chill for the rest of the afternoon. Option 2 won in the end. Got off by the shop, where they actually had a sandwich I really liked, which is very rare. Went to pay for that and phone credit and more painkillers and an ice cream to cool me down and de-stress me a bit. Got to counter and realised I didn't have my bloody purse with me!

Walked home in a stress. Have been trying to get myself bothered to walk back to the shop ever since. I'm starving!

[luvlydory]

WOW that is some rant. - that is SOME day to have on a friday.

Let's hope you have a good weekend ?

[ambersalamander]

Thank you Dory- I have one of my rare weekends off, they're like gold dust!

Of course, I only ever get ill just before I have time off...

[coops]

I really feel for you Sal, and it makes me feel really guilty to say that I had the day off today (shift worker!) and at 11:00 my wife uttered the immortal words. "It's a lovely day and seeing as you are working this weekend why don't you go and have a couple of pints." I love my wife!

Anyhow, I've just got back from supping ale at The Wellington in Brum and now we're all going to sup more ale and eat good grub at The Olde White Rose in Bilston. Hot sun, beer garden, real ale........sigh.

[ambersalamander]

Oh don't feel guilty- after all, I have the weekend off for a change, and being another shift worker, this maketh me happy.

However, being a shift worker whose friends all seem to live very far away, I don't get to go out much. When people are going out, I always seem to be working; when I'm free they're all busy.

Tonight is an exception.

I am QUINTUPLE-BOOKED.

FIVE people have asked me out!

And the way I'm feeling, it would be far more sensible and comfortable to stay in bed. But I can't pass up FIVE opportunities to see people I rarely see!

Options 4 and 5 can be done together. Staying in bed can happen later!

Strangely none of the options involve watching football, and I don't have a TV
