Bah humbug. :smiley:

i’m basically indifferent

i make a little extra money around Christmas time, so that’s cool - but other than that, it’s just SSDD

3

it’s whatever you want it to be

don’t let the bullshit get you down

I do suffer from SAD though so for me it’s humongously depressing so much so I’m going to increase my meds now.

By the way Fmas is short for FSMmas my god. :smiley:

Sorry Caldrid, seems like you are being outnumbered on the poll.

Meeeeeeeeeerry Christmas!

6

Ah, okay. The it’s not so much Xmas/Fmas you dislike as it is the weather and the season?

7

Yep and glad to lose the poll. :smiley:

On Christmas eve I sent an email to work saying that I couldn’t come in because my mum said I should stay home (she’s had a stroke I needed to look after her). After being on hold for 20 mins I had to put credit on the mobile, I sent another email asking if the could pick up the phone. She said compassionate leave only covers two hours. I said fine put it down as a holiday day. She then said you shouldn’t email in. I said well no one was answering the phones so I had to. She said that’s a separate issue. I said well pick up the fucking phone then! And hung up. I hate mind games and paradoxes. Hell I’m barely conscious atm as it is don’t fuck with me! :evilfun:

Long story short ~I think I’m losing my job on Wednesday and I don’t give a shit. :smiley:

Calrid,

That sounds extremely frustrating. It is a stressful time of year, I grant you that. Sorry to hear about your mum.

And perhaps a new job will be a good thing!

9

lol they said it’s a separate issue…NO IT’S FUCKING NOT. IT’S THE SAME ISSUE. the issue is communication, and your need to do it. how the hell is that a separate issue.

10

yeah, that was definitely bullshit

11

solid advice, man.

12

She was busy over stressed and thinking with all the logic of a Nazi on acid. Is all I can say. :laughing:

Thank you but I’ll probably get an appraisal on monday and told basically that I’m fired for not understanding circular arguments, meh shit happens.

After being drunk the last three days every evening I’ve gone all philosophical about it, who said alcohol was harmful. ;]

14

I am psychic fired and it was all my fault for not understanding their language. :banana-dance:

15

shit. that’s a bitch. sorry.

i have SAD too, it’s a real drag around the holidays when the days are so short and the weather sucks - i took an outdoor job, which helps - it’s cold, but it beats sitting in an office all day and never seeing the sun because it’s already dark by the time you leave - that’s what i used to have to deal with

don’t be afraid to consider a change in your line of work

16

Thanks. But the fact they understood I was SAD and heavily medicated on SSRIs and my mum almost died is really fucking annoying! Know what I mean!

Still I’m suing them for unfair dismissal. Apparently you have to be working for a year unless you can prove mental anguish. Couldn’t hurt and if nothing else they might learn a costly lesson! :smiley:

Don’t get mad get compensation. :banana-dance:
