I'm lonely tonight.
Perhaps I should have gone to my parents for the bank holiday weekend after all. But I suppose I need to start making my own path in life.
Anyway at work there are 5 consultants on our team plus all the registrars. Of the 5, 4 are very nice. 1 of them I try to avoid if possible.
His clinic is on Friday so on Friday he has coffee break with us. When I know he will be there I always choose the chair nearest the door in case I have to make a quick getaway. He has a habit of saying something to you and if he sees you getting embarassed he will keep focusing on it. He thinks he is such a "joker". Anyway...
He comes in and he says "coffee". That's not a request. It's an order. So his secretary gets him a coffee. Today she was eating a scone and he helped himself to half without even asking. Thankfully he is not "my" consultant.
So my doctor we will say is Mr Smith.
So the other guy came in with the order. I guess he saw my raised eyebrows because he sat down and was looking at me over the rim of the cup. So he said "Tetra I notice your Mr Smith looks very tired these days. You need to start fetching him coffee and scones!" My mouth nearly fell open and I hope it was a joke. My predecessor left me several pages of tasks and jobs I have to do. No where does it mention "get coffee".
If Mr Smith came to me and asked politely "I'm tired. Would you mind getting me a coffee?" I would have no problem with that.
Let their wives get them coffee. I'm not a maid.
And if anyone touches food on my plate they will get a slap. Tetra doesn't share food!
Although I have shared food in the past. One time I was in a coffee shop. There was a guy at the next table. He looked a bit...scruffy or something. I noted he kept looking at my plate before he said "that cake looks so good. I'm hungry. Would you mind if I had a piece?" I felt sorry for the guy so I gave him half. He kept calling me a "star". After that while we had a brief chat and I was thinking about how to get out of there...Then I noticed his eyes. He was definitely on something.
Still some of us have been there I suppose or we know someone like that.

You shouldn't have to put up with that Tetra, it doesn't cost anything for people to be polite.
At work, because people are able to give you tasks, they then think they can take liberties and boss you around with regards things that have nothing to do with your job . . . . .and it also makes me frustrated at times.
Hang in there Tetra, you're not alone!!

Tetra, Should we start a Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club?
Me lonely tonight too.
I don't particularly care to share my food either. Although, now me and little one are just a party of two, and I call her Miss Twiggy because she eats like a bird and is nothing but a twig. Unless it's sweets. But I'm not a big sweets eater but when the sweets are out, oh my she is so sweet and pleading for more and more. So I don't really ever have to share anymore.
If I were ever been put in that position, I'd probably just lick my whole scone. Lick the rim of my coffee cup. Lizard-dart my tongue into the coffee, all while keeping my eyes on such a 'jokester'. And if he decided to come up and embarass me I'd grin like Olaf and keep interrupting with "Yeah, why?"
But I just like to be annoying like that.

I'm I'm for the weekend. Tomorrow is theHalloween Carnival at my school, and at my son's too.
In lieu of a song here are a few two sentence horror stories:
There was a picture on my phone of me sleeping. I live alone.
I woke up to hear knocking on glass. At first, I thought it was the window until I heard it come from the mirror again.
Happy Halloween Weekenders!
❤️ Delilah

Hello, weekenders.
It's Saturday morning and I am up at 5.30. I wanted to give myself a lazy day, and can't sleep any longer. Probably will take a nap later.

Great tunes guys - i was trying to work out where Dead Man's Bones was filmed
I have just seen how my youngest daughter gets round people, she has just persuaded a cop that it is perfectly ok to put her mobile barrier halfway across the pavement and guiding people in Lol

I am at the Alexandra Palace right now (more classic car stuff) There is an advert for chocolate in the UK featuring a CGI Audrey Hepburn getting into a Mercedes "Adenaur" coupe. This is not a great pic as there were lots of people about but here it is - Tetra do they show the ad in the Republic?
