I am so greatful to Mr Richard Barrett for such an easy explanation. It did not come to my mind.
I did not think that there is an explanation for that other than my slow thinking.
I had such a difficult day.

I've just returned from a week away. It was supposed to be a holiday. As far as work was concerned it was supposed to be a holiday.
... and it will probably come as no surprise to hear that I was contacted on every weekday of last week by colleagues asking me 'urgent' questions that had to be sorted out this minute. Next time I'm telling them I'm going abroad even when I'm not. I'll recycle old photos maybe to prove it when I return. Would be better to go abroad though... |

I just received a message on the phone and I forgot how to read it.
I am so angry at that phone. Why did I do that?.
We are invited to friends for dinner this evening and there I will describe my frustration in minute details if they will let me. They will tell me that I am stupid. Fortunately there will be one other lady who is even more stupid.
Why do they make this kind of phones that comes with this kind of instruction.
How many days do I have this on going frustration. The joy stick in the middle of the phone is a real pain. I can not get it to go down in a streight line and it jumps all over the place. I am sure my friens will tell me that I have crooked hands. That is another popular expression.

I think my mum ended up regretting asking me how things were at work on Monday.
I outlined my frustrations in detail over the course of two hours and now she's worried about me.

You have broken a golden rule there. Parents should be dealt with on a need-to-know basis. Apart from me of course. |

My friends know how to shut me off.
It is here you have no choice because I can write and post.
There they will talk and I will listen. There will be three women and three men and a screaming excited baby. Everyone will be excited because we have not get together as a company for a long time. I will probably forget about the phone.
According to Russian standards I am not very talkative.
In some Russian companies they don't let me even open my mouth. I wait and wait for my turn and it never comes.

Oh I don't know about that. They've proved to be useful sounding boards in the past. There are clearly some aspects of my life that I will never share with them though. Welcome back, hh: what a disappointment after all that, though,
And did you end up as sole caterer?
No. I managed to organise my siblings after all that. We had roast chicken (some with tandoori-style marinade), pasta salad, raita, naans, sausage rolls, sausages, green salad, cheese, fruit salad, cake and some other stuff. A room full of 9 adults, 7 children all quietly nomming away. It was a joy to behold. |

I don't say this completely flippantly or out of disrespect, but my parents have worries of their own without my adding more so I feel it's kinder to keep quiet about some things. |

Oh yes. Totally agree. I hadn't anticipated that she would worry otherwise I would have been much more cautious in my ranting! |

Bluddy people over the road had a part going on till the early hours this morning till 2 am! Not very considerate when our next door neighbour has just lost her husband and not only us, I suspect, but others, probably could'nt get to sleep either!

I agree on the whole but as a parent it is only to easy to feel when the child (of whatever age!) is unhappy. I can cerainly tell by the very first word they say on the phone that something is wrong.I find with my daughters that I would much prefer to know what is worrying them , at least it is the truth and not something I decided was wrong. The truth can be dealt with!! Just my opinion of course! A |

I've buglered up the right of my lower jaw somehow. It suddenly came on while eating lunch. I don't think it's a teeth problem as it's not a constant ache, but it hurts to chew. It's not too bad at the moment, I suppose it's nice and relaxed thanks to dinner, but this afternoon it was painful enough to force me to stand through _______'s Prom with mouth open. This, I stress, was not due to the playing of said Mensch.

Okay. Three times in a row with three different peeps. Is this more than chance? Prospecting out the sexier sex, I find myself arranging dinners. And yet, I find myself thrice, in a row, confronted with the following statement, upon the handsome fellow's arrival at the prearranged location. "Oh, sorry, I've already eaten. How about I just sit here and watch you eat for 40 minutes, eh?" Not wanting to seem snarky, but ... three times in a row ...  Eru: hope your jaw mends itself soon. |
