Hi Mark.

Sorry to hear you being called 'chronological challenged', mate. I suppose it's better than being called an old git.  ;)

I have mid life crisis's at 25. I'm gonna be in a right state by the time I get to 50.  :-\\  :)

Oh. Apparently blokes can get a male version of PMT. I heard it on some morning TV show. Now I feel justified in having the odd grump occassionally.  ;)

Shoddydonna.. LOL even better

most likely by next week,I will talk to my case manager and in turn I will get a job coach for my Supportive Employment and by then I should reach 100 hours or more and move on to a part-time paying job.But,someone I know(Robin)feels I need a full-time paying job.She thinks Supportive Employment won't even help me.But,I don't need to even worry about that right now.   ::)

You need to do what is best for you.  Supportive employment is a start and you can work your way up.  Don't change yourself because someone wants you to change.  You are the only one who knows what is best for you.  Robin needs to like you for who you are not who you could potentially be if you do what she says.  If she doesn't like you for you, she isn't worth it.

Shoddydonna. LMAO!!!!  ;D

One step at a time.  Look at the whole job thing as a baseball game.  You are now rounding first base (the volunteer job) and are on your way to second base (paying part time Supportive Employment).  ;)

Maybe you can remind Robin that Rome wasn't built in a day and that the Wright brothers did not fly to the moon from Kitty Hawk.

Thanks Dag.You already sound like my Mother now but anyway that's very good advice. ;D She's a go-getter while for me on the other hand I'm a patient man waiting for something positive to happen.Thanks again. :) ;)

She won't let me crave her luscious body unless I get a full-time paying job. >:( Do you think that would be considered blackmailing? ???

Well consider that you may get more than one "Job" if you find full-time employment :o :-X

I have to say I'm glad that yesterday is over :)

This morning as I was in the middle of washing my hair, I realized just how beautiful it is. I know that sounds arrogant but up until two years ago I was in hair hell. I was doing everything short of chemically relaxing my hair to make it straight. I dyed it, used hot combs and hair gel to tame it. When I turned 20, my once naturally curly, wavy hair was a dry split ended mess. My scalp felt horrible too. So my last ditch effort was to dreadlock my hair in 2002. Now almost three years later I can say that that was one of the BEST decisions I ever made.
Now instead of a headful of hay I have shiny shoulder length locks that have soft wavy hair at the roots. It's nice to just wake up and not have to worry about my hair. ;D

Well consider that you may get more than one "Job" if you find full-time employment :o :-X



Yeah Mark you know it. ;D ;) But,by the time I want her body,I'll be an old wrinkly man ;D
She can't do this to me and watch me suffer >:(


Howard

I'm thinking of possibly staying with my volunteer site and working over my 100 hours.just maybe,I could ask if after 4,5 months that I would be allowed a part-time position with paid employment at the hospital.I'm enjoying what I'm doing now and making a few friends with the secretaries and a co-worker named Jermaine :) So,maybe Supportive Employment could be put on hold at the moment.


Howard

You're welcome, Howard. :)

Well, once a mother always a mother...it's not something you can turn off. ;)

Russia?  ;D. Did you support Chelski before Mr Abramovich's involvement, Alc? I must admit, I think Moaningho is the most irritating of the Premiership managers, but I can't fault his level of acheivement this year.

Brixton my friend.. yes from the days of.. well the second division.

Oh i love him, he says what he thinks and he thinks what he says.

Oh i love him, he says what he thinks and he thinks what he says.

In all fairness, though he has a confidence bordering on arrogance, he hasn't entered whole-heartedly into the sort of pathetic gamesmanship we saw earlier in the season from Messrs Fogeyson & Whinger (the latter of whom I would classify as the most onerous (onanous?) manager currently in the Prem). Just goes to show that some Prem managers will "put up or shut up", which is refreshing!

I had a sheesh fit with mine, i jumped up, and started kicking the side of it then i hit it on top and kicked it again and yanked the plug out the wall because it wouldn't work.

Came back 2 hours later and it's been working a charm ever since.

Goes to show, Maybe violence isn't the answer, but it sure as hell is the solution.
