Back to work on Monday so spent today and now tomorrow DIYing.

Probably not going to manage everything I hoped to do but all the big ones are out of the way.

My gout has mildly flared up today. Painkillers have helped but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about it coming back in force. This is with steroids and anti inflammatory meds every day - this might be the end of my love affair with refreshing lager beer :cry:

Sorry to hear about your gout :(

I am having my first beer of the year and my only one of the night. I rarely drink anymore, also for health reasons. I don’t miss it much, definitely my heavy drinking days are over. The last time I was drunk must have been 3 years ago

Same here. With the added bonus of actually being about 300 meter from the Baltic sea :embarrassed:

Lovely -15 degrees and CoGF is sick, so I get to take Kiira on all her walks :facepalm:

I'd have to drag Lola out the door in that kind of temp, she's a total princess.

Woke up today and the ankle pain has completely disappeared which is weird but I'm not complaining.

Kiira loves it. She gets totally hyped from the snow and cold weather.

And glad to hear about your ankle, hope it stays that way. It would be a shame if one had to give up on the REFRESHING LAGER BEER or hottub prosecco :embarrassed:

Alas my prosecco guy has wrapped it in. The guy he was buying off was going legit and my dude wanted no part of it :cop:

Definitely going to work out better for my waist and bank balance now Christmas is over and done with.
 
Got a wee kiddy on promotion today covering a colleague. I think I'll have a refreshing lager beer to celebrate.

Absolutely frazzled.

Things should settle down next week but I think I need a job that doesn't involve pupils, parents or colleagues :confused:

I've heard there's some money in the wedding DJ business up in Scotland apparently. Maybe you should look into that. :bigg:

I make more from my most basic package than a week teaching :ack: and tbf as much as I wouldn't want to DJ full time, there's a shit load less stress and hassle. My brother does it with a couple of side hustles and he loves it. If I did a bit of dog walking with Doing on the side I'd be laughing.

Presenting some odds and sods to some folk from a national quango tomorrow, I could do a shmoozy office job like that no bother. Digging out my tie and polishing my shoes as we speak :grin:

Just having a moan, things will calm down in the next week or two once I've got a hold of the remit I've picked up. Changing lives and all that stuff.

Been working at my new job for 2 weeks now and absolutely loving it. Life is a bit chaotic, with travelling, and getting up at 7 has been a bit getting used to, but my anxiety and stress had almost disappeared

Nice one, wok. This is really good to hear.
 
And breathe.

Can't disclose much in the way of details but it's been fucking wild this week. Slipped on the ice and fell on my arse chasing a kid earlier :facepalm: and that's about the only incident, of which there are many, that I can disclose

On the upside, the tricky parents have been nice (for the time being), I've been doing some Machiavellian manoeuvres with my staff to get them on board and made some small but positive progress with a kid who at present is one of the most challenging in the school.

On the downside my classes are being handed over to various colleagues and at least half of them are going to go to shit but what can you do.

Changing lives and all that.

First Rangers away game in Perth tomorrow, I'm very much looking forward to the bottle of King Billy tonic wine on the bus :bigg:
 
Football was dire but the day out was great fun.

Last thing I remember is knocking over a refreshing lager beer in the pub when we got back


On the upside I've woke up in my own bed, downside, Mrs jbj is still asleep, I don't have the fear but I've no idea if I was a pain in the arse when I got home or not.

Lola unhelpfully is just whining for belly rubs.
 
Working on a job application.

I wasn't totally planning on applying for a job or particularly looking for one, but someone sent me an opening that would basically be my dream job, so hey-ho.

Let's see what happens. I sure wouldn't mind the financial stability at this time. Life as a freelancer isn't bad, but the constant stress of what the next months will look like is starting to accumulate and wearing me down.

good luck!
 
Thanks guys :)

I'm not going to be too bummed out when it doesn't work out, it's not like I need a job, and I'm not even sure if I really want the 9 to 5 again, but the chance to get stable money doing what I love doing is at least worth sending an application :)

100%......

Took Lola out for a nice long play then met my dad for a drink in said pub where I was last night. Turns out that I knocked my pint over the gaffer's laptop which was sitting under the bar!

She assures me she dried it out and it's working fine but I've asked her man to confirm that incase she's just being nice, that might be an expensive pint of Tennents. I of course apologised, her response: "I didn't realise you were drunk, you were standing there talking to my man fine then when you went to leave you walked into the wall instead of the door."

No more King Billy tonic wine for JBJ I think, as moreish as it is.:annoyed:
