  • My job , mostly :/ ..... I go to meetings about meetings and talk about future meetings.  I consider stabbing  myself in eye with my pen daily lately. Time for a change , aye :) AYE!

  • Your firmly committed to non-commitment.  That is admirable.  Also things like this are easier when one embraces sloth.

  • Nothing destroys the brain quicker than employee meetings.  Blow them off as often as you can.

  • Just trying to move on with life and starting a career is mentally draining as of late. I've been trying for months (actually much longer) and even with knowing someone who will vouch for me has yeilded a big fat zero in results! Seriously, if you give me your name and number and say you can set me up, I damn well expect you to pick up the phone, or at least return my call, and keep your word. Still nothing. I'm beginning to feel like I'm destined to stay at this dead end job forever... Alright, rant over. You can go back to your drinks. Hmm, a drink might actually do the trick right now.

  • Nothing, really. I find that a sense of humour can lighten almost everything.

    I have a number of age-related problems, -- both physical and mental -- the most annoying of which is my dwindling memory. If I focused on them they would drive me nuts but it's better to accept that, hey! this is life, and I'd better find ways to make the most of them. I get a lot of help from Mrs Didge and our dog who are also experiencing similar things (Zoe, the dog, is 17 now and often has senior's moments of her own).

    So we laugh, and cross our fingers.

    Mostly my job.  I really don't have enough to do to keep me busy all day, five days a week.  I've just gotten the OK to work part-time (three days) and I'm thrilled.  It is absolutely stutifying to have to sit at my desk all day with nothing to do but be on the Internet.

    LOL ... he's thrilled, but must have done the happy dance at home since he hasn't been in for a week.

    Thanks - so am I, but I would have been OK with full retirement, too.  At least this way, I can still contribute to my 401(k) and not have to take minimum distributions.
