I don't want to go to work

I don't go to AA anymore, but when I did I heard a bunch of stories of "How it was. What happened. How it is now." - That's kind of the basic format long-time AA people share in meetings. I heard a lot of sad stories, but also lots of stories of redemption and forgiveness. For me it comes from believing it is so, and by applying forgiveness liberally to the hurt.

I don't have lot of regrets. Have I mistreated others and been mistreated? Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Ha.

Am I human? That's just a general musing, not really a question.

Carry on with your bad selves. Life goes forward!! It's okay to take a glance in the rearview mirror - staring leads to accidents.

Thank you for the thoughful post Weasel. I am also in for a sober weekend.

I have to get ready for an aftercare meeting. I can never ever sleep the night after these meetings.

Catch you all later.

wow - I was in high gear outside to beat the rain... everything is cleaned up and put away, planted beets and turnips, sifted the dirt in front to remove stones and leveled it out... collected stuff for rubbish... put a load in the washer before I went outside, put it in the dryer before I made breakfast and coffee -
just having oats with strawberry, blueberry, apple, walnuts and honey of course - an extra helping today to make for the hamburgers and sausage I ate a few days ago ---
Mrs is awake already - going in around noon for a competency exam... basically a skills review...
so I gotta make her an extra lunch... and I told her to fix the calendar or else she's on her own making lunches... if I know, she eats well, when she makes her own lunch, it's whatever she can grab without any effort... HA!

I reading down through the posts and I get to Bodhi's - I don't wanna go to work
Imagine if you were Marty having to sweat out a virus and show up for your second day of work. C'mon Js, put the big girl panties on...

Brain, you're a maniac!! I'm getting tired and heaping self shame on myself just reading what you've done. I do need to get yard work done. Maybe this weekend.

Dragging ourselves to work. Ugh. We can do it. Maybe not as fun as a coffee cupping, but it's am honest dollar/pound/euro

Sweeeet! I woke up to a text from 67 countries in the phillipinnes!
What a nice surprise!
If he becomes my boyfriend -that means I'm not allowed to see the air force guy doesn't it?

Fabela

Jen, you lost me. 67 countries in the Philipines?

Upward2Enlightenment

Sounds like Jen wants to "stamp" his passport.

Jsbodhi

Sorry Fabela!
67 countries is a nickname for a guy I'm interested in- he's a traveller.
I'll pick a new name for him.
Travel guy is good

Fabela

Ah, I see. I love traveling, he sounds like an interesting guy!

Home.

Mostly beat the worst of the traffic. I do not like long distance motoring (that is long distance by British standards, I realise that where some of you live a 6 hour round trip is nothing). Not going back into work

LBrain

Ha Ruby, don't forget, I don't have a job, so I should be further ahead than I am now... but I am definitely motivated to get this stuff finished...
made the wife's lunch - I took a page from Weasel and made sausage with peppers and a little onion for one dish, pierogies w/ onion crisped in olive oil and butter with s&p, took out the melon baller and made a fruit salad - no grapes? where they go? so strawberries and cantaloupe, also a baby cucumber and cherry tomato salad... that should hold her till midnight...

somehow Bim - hi Bim - reminded me of this tune... not sure why tho...

oh, I mentioned John Bonham yesterday in old thread...
this is an excerpt from wiki:
On 24 September 1980, Bonham was picked up by Led Zeppelin assistant Rex King to attend rehearsals at Bray Studios for a tour of North America, to begin 17 October in Montreal, Canada – the band's first since 1977. During the journey, Bonham asked to stop for breakfast, where he drank four quadruple vodkas (16 shots, between 400–560 ml). He then drank after arriving at rehearsals. The band stopped rehearsing late in the evening and then retired to Page's house, the Old Mill House in Clewer, Windsor. After midnight on Thursday, 25 September, Bonham fell asleep; someone took him to bed and placed him on his side. Benji LeFevre, Led Zeppelin's tour manager, and John Paul Jones found him dead the next afternoon.[15] Bonham was 32.

The inquest on 27 October 1980 showed that in 24 hours Bonham had drunk around 40 shots (1–1.4 litres) of 40% ABV vodka, after which he vomited and choked. The finding was accidental death.[15] An autopsy found no other drugs in Bonham's body.[16] Bonham's remains were cremated and his ashes interred on 12 October 1980, at Rushock parish church, Worcestershire.

I am still caught in a funk. Knowing that every job opportunity, in my field, that there is a nationwide bulletin on the internet if the person vetting candidates will find easily. It is on my mind a lot. All you have to do is “google” ‘LBrain’ and sure as *** it shows up.


Yup I know the feeling. It's just always there in the back of your mind. I was lucky to find someone willing to give me a chance but it gets held over my head all the time and makes me feel trapped in this job sometimes.
