Mega heavy rain by us tonight. Water came pissing through the (closed) double glazed window in our front room.
I dried everything off and got the ladders out to have a look outside - I think the brickwork needs repointing. It’s not the window unit it’s coming through, it’s from above. Got a bloke coming tomorrow. Last thing I need - was meant to have a child free weekend away with Mrs G in London and it’s due thunderstorms whilst we’re away! Argh!

Rest it as much as possible.
I had a hairline fracture running up the length of one of my metatarsal bitd, I couldn’t stop skating on it and it would never heal, was well over a year before it stopped hurting, I was fine skating on it after warming up but it would hurt like fuck for days afterwards.

I probably got it four or five weeks ago, and despite running on it a couple of times it looks from the X-ray like it has started healing already, so fingers crossed. I’ve already got a Morton’s Neuroma on my other foot that keeps flaring up. Getting old sucks.
On holiday, camping in Cornwall, which is rad. What isn’t rad is work calling on the second day in because something not even remotely mission critical not working. Haven’t even got my laptop, even if I did I’m in the middle of a field. Best I can do is just sit there on the phone while someone reads error codes at me. Not back until next Tuesday, can’t see how I’m gonna not be stressing about this all week, and there’s nothing I can do about it.

When I left to go on paternity leave my boss wished me well but told me he wanted to speak to me about how I speak to the worst one out of all the idiots he hired, when I got back.
Next time I saw him was to sign over my part of the company and cash out. She also quit, over something unrelated.

this is so ridiculous, there should be someone who can understand what’s going on? I’d be super annoyed. This is definitely not your fault, and it’s telling that you got this message on day fucking 2 of being away - exposes how easily these things can collapse.
The repercussions now are that you’ll be reluctant to take time off in the future which adds anxiety and stress and potential exhaustion to the long list of shit we all have to deal with every day. We’re in a period where people have fucking stacks of leave building up - I’ve got 20-odd days left to take as I can’t go anywhere at the moment and it’s making me stir-crazy, if we’re not keen on taking time off because it falls apart when we just look the other way it’s pretty worrying.
What if you were taking a month off? What if you resigned?
Also saw this today which is fitting:
Yep! Exactly. Will be having words if they call again.
Just don’t answer. You’re on holiday, it’s now time for somebody else to manage the non-mission-critical shitstorm.

£240 at the vet for tablets to hopefully stop the dog waking us at 3am every night to go out and stand in the back garden and stare at the fence
You have a haunted fence too?

but they’ll still feel as good as they did after a week having skated them for a year, worth every penny trust me
Hope so.
Colitis? My dog does that, needs to go out all the time, stands in shitting position, then doesn’t shit for 20 mins.
Came home from a week away on holiday to a leaking pipe in the kitchen, which has ruined the kitchen floor, the kids playroom carpet and the wall in between the two rooms.
Thankfully insured but not the end of the world. A pain in the arse though.
At work last week did a presentation 4 separate times for 4 different groups and they all went fine. Ended up presenting to a bigger group last night at 1am after 2 hours sleep and it went so bad. Cringing today at how badly it went, brain wasn’t functioning and can’t stop replaying it in my head.
That’s your perception of how it went. In most cases like this it is never as bad as you think.
I keep apologising to wife for fucking up over little things around the house and she said “this narrative for you fucking up all the time exists only in your head and not mine, for me you do not fuck up all the time”. It’s amazing what you can make yourself believe if you have no one to set you straight.
Chill, am sure it didn’t go as bad as you think

Haha I do the same. I reckon I’m being extra critical cause I’m only two months into the job. In a day or two I’ll hopefully be over it
No one is paying attention to presentations or meetings, I wouldnt sweat it.
