)I'm still doing the mask thing everywhere inside but I'm often the only one. I'm really feeling quite judgey -- I mean it's not that fucking hard to put a mask on when you go on a bus or into a shop.
(And yes, obviously some people can't wear masks but I really doubt that's pretty much every 20s man (and many 20s women) I see on the bus.
"and yet you still wear those trousers" is my current favourite retort
not after the last time I spoke to my rep - a howler of one who sides with management - if I had the energy or the organisational skills, I'd try and oust them as they're such a shit rep
yeah, there is. Have previously contacted the union to complain about the rep but they never replied. I sort of have to do it myself but got carpeted and told not to speak for anyone else
Are the wobblies/IWW operating in your area?
don’t think so
Fuck 'em.
A bit of an emotional rollercoaster today. I woke up to a message that the flight would probably be cancelled, the. A driver showed up who took my to a small airport (no scheduled flights). I wasn’t manifested in anything with the main helicopter operators…then someone suggested I try one of the smaller operators, and bingo, I’ve found my pilot.
It certainly gives you some idea how horrible solitary confinement must be. 14 days is horrific, the longest I have had was 10.
one dose of vaccine after an infection is more protection than 2 doses of vaccine apparently, and up the protection goes as you add more doses of vaccine.
I’m back from 10 days in an oil platform. I couldn’t get the phone or laptop to connect to the Wi-Fi, so, a week and a half without internet. It’s wonderful! Obviously I missed you all terribly, but no connection with the outside world except for a couple of phone calls a day was a result
Did you bring us all back some gasoline?
I've been back at work for a few months now (christ, was it August that I went back) after simply going back because I was bored and wasn't getting any better, and it remains the case that there's little or no difference between me just before having a breakdown and me now. I increasingly "lose" days through not feeling capable of doing anything at all - manifests in different ways, sometimes big fat panic attacks, sometimes huge periods of fatigue, very often just not seeing the point of getting out of bed in the morning (which is not in itself a weird thing but it's when you simply don't that it's different) - and it's been getting worse. Also now that I've returned to work there's an implicit assumption I feel that I've somehow stated that I'm better, and so have a responsibility to do things as if I was the happiest bunny in the whole of Toytown.
