Still no job

MalteseFalcon · 09-08-2015, 23:43

Family. My Grandad had a BBQ today, which I wasn't invited to. Not that bothered as I hate him. But from what my mum and sister have told me this evening I am fuming. Why haven't I got a job, why did I have such bad eyesight that I couldn't join the Forces, why haven't I made a girl pregnant yet to keep the family name going, etc etc.

Suffice to say, I am now boiling with fury. I feel like going there tomorrow and having a go at him. I wish to God that you could choose your family. I would change the majority of mine in a heartbeat.

Oh Mark it's never nice when you hear from someone that you have being spoken about in such a negative manner. Personally I would try and rise above giving a response no matter how tempting it may be. The reason I would not give a response to who was bringing me down is I would not give them the satisfaction of them knowing that their comments bothered/upset me. Remember it's the person bringing you down with the problem not you!

Wise words.

Have bubble packs been made harder to get into..or is it just old age catching up with me.

To be diplomatic, I will say it is them getting harder to open. But some days, despite being only 30, I feel about twice that.

As for the family, I know I don't need to rise to it. I calmed down overnight a bit but was still a bit angry this morning that I went for a long walk. Think it was about a 15 mile walk all told, felt a lot better after that.

Thats an old trick, they come back later and take the cars.

Blood pressure is always higher at Dr's its to do with the environment nerves etc.

These are terrible things to be said about you. Marc, no wonder you are fuming, but as Weenie said they will be more bothered with No Responce from you,

Hubby is off work as he hurt his shoulder & neck last week while getting out his lorry or at least he thinks that is what happened either way he is in a lot of pain. This is something I'm not used too at all, as he just gets on with things and never complains. The doctor has given him a line and some meds (Naproxen 500) hopefully they should kick in soon as it's not nice seeing someone you love in so much pain and discomfort

denphone · 11-08-2015, 14:42

l hope he gets better soon weenie as its never nice when loved ones are in pain.

weenie · 11-08-2015, 14:50

Thanks den, I think that is what I was finding the most upsetting the pain & discomfort that he was obviously in. Thankfully hubby is now having a nap on the sofa so I assume the meds the doctor has given him are now kicking in.

denphone · 11-08-2015, 15:05

Yes Naproxen can be pretty strong and should certainly dull the pain.

I hope things improve very quickly.

My moan - it looks like I'll be in a cast again tomorrow after a whole 6 days out of one

The thing that worries me more about this is you can't have a transplant if you're in one.

Nuts to it, I'd rather have my foot off than keep putting up with this but Natalie says that's no good as I'll have a hell of a limp and she'll have to call me 'Stumpy'

At this time of year, at work, we spend a lot of our time getting software installs ready for distribution to our machines. I've been working on getting Autodesk's Mudbox software for OSX ready.

I wiped a machine, ran our (non functional) install on it, and Mudbox failed to start. I ran their normal installer (which we cannot use) on another machine, and compared the two installs. I noticed a config file that was different, so copied it from the working machine to the one that wasn't. When I restarted Mudbox on the faulty machine, it worked, so I copied the changed file up to the install server.

I wiped the machine again, and re-installed Mudbox from the server, and it doesn't work again, complete with the changed file.. Getting a little frustrated now, especially as it quits without displaying any errors, or, apparently logging anything.
