The Martin WooHoodStock Thread

Three years already?
*mutters something about time and flying*

...is there a party? And cake?

[Devilish Me]

Wow, time flies!
For some reason I'm stuck in 2003, every time I think of something that happened then it seems like it was last year, or two years before...

Happy birthday to the AFA thread!

[Jumble]

Time certainly does fly!

I don't think there will be a party or cake - just some special artwork to mark the occasion

[DutchIndeed]

See what happens?
Use the words ''no party'' and all the WooHoos just stop posting due to disappointment.

[Jumble]

'Tis true

I'm also up to my eyes in coursework, which unfortunately has been foisted upon me and I'm hating it - sitting still all day is definitely not my thing

[DutchIndeed]

You need shimmy breaks.

[Jumble]

I do. I may well try that tomorrow - if nothing else it may serve to keep everyone awake

[Nolamom]

Coursework for what? *iz intrigued*

I have been a lazy slug the past two days. In my defense, I just got over one of the worst migraines I've had in a long time, which is really saying a lot. Trying to stir up enough motivation to get back to working on putting together psychology class. On the upside, I did go shopping this morning and found a nice work dress and a pair of trousers.

It's called 'Employability' Nola - in the UK when you've been unemployed for awhile tptb send you on courses (supposedly) designed to help you get a job. So far I've learned how to plan my journey to the course site (5 mins in the car to a town that I've visited, oh, several thousand times in the last 26 years), including making myself a packed lunch the night before AND remembering to take it with me....... yes, 5 hours of the same stuff repeated from every possible angle.......... sheesh! And I have six more days of it to go

Apart from anything else, I have plans for the future that, if they work out, won't require me to have a packed lunch or travel anywhere for work

[Nolamom]

oh how awful. I can hardly imagine spending days "training" to to things that you know how to do with your eyes closed and your hands tied behind your back. Good luck on surviving!

[Jumble]

It's definitely not fun But I'll get through it, no doubt, and if nothing else I will (possibly) have learned how to keep my mouth shut in the face of severe provocation to sarcastically voice my feelings

[Nolamom]

Mind-numbingly dull though. Don't bite your tongue all the way through!

[Jumble]

I won't

Today was a little better, we had to do 'team work', which involved doing internet research and putting together a presentation. I'm exhausted, but not as irritated as I was yesterday

[JadedWraith]

I've been through some of those courses, too. I sooo can understand you. And most of it is soo desesperatly unhelpful.

[josiane]

Ugh, Jumble that sounds deathly and frankly offensive. Poor you

I've been AWOL for a few days all occupied with family stuff as my brother got married yesterday. It was a wonderful wedding (my second of the summer ) - tears and laughter and family and dancing and a lot of love and pride Pretty wiped from it all now, and also not feeling very well - I fear I have caught Alastair's cold after three days of him snotting and drooling over me Aren't babies delightful?!

*dons hazmat and huggles woohoos*
