The clouds are here - the bad day thread.

That's terrible. My condolences, Mrs Sects.

sorry for your loss, condolences to you and your family.

My sinuses are all blocked and swallowing is painful as fuck. Will book an emergency appointment with my GP tomorrow.

Get down to Tesco and take some Sudafed. Great for that sort of thing.

Thanks. Got some of that along with Friar's Balsam.

So I wore a brand new white blouse to a chinese restaurant and while trying to get the lid of the soy sauce...got it all over my tits.

The girl and chinese guy behind the counter were like... :affraid:

He even offered to give me my food for free but I told him it was my fault.

I guess there were more people looking at my tits than usual at lunch time....

My sleep cycle has recently become reversed again. My psychiatrist has prescribed Zopiclone to reset it - which has similar effects to Rohipnol.

Potential side effects retrograde and anterograde amnesia, impotence, hallucinations, confusion, nightmares, aggression, tremors, euphoria and cancer.

Fuck.

No one offered to clean it off?

Fuck.

Sounds awful. You sure it's worth taking?

I think so. But jheeze, it's 7.5 mg for 14 days - the official maximum dose. Any alcohol could give me a fatal OD.

I'll get it from the chemists on Tuesday, since Monday's a bank holiday. Will book an emergency appointment with a GP to ask his/her opinion.

Impotence. Amnesia. Cancer. Just like watching a Brett Ratner film marathon.

Good luck with it, Sharky. Maybe they'll find another alternative for you. From where I am, it doesn't look too promising.

Take care, LS. I've been on that, and sorry to say it didn't help at all. Gives you an awful metallic taste all day long that you can't shift. In fact, I think I've still got some in the drawer.

Hope it helps you. Not sure what your doctor said but mine suggested only taking it 3-4 nights a week as taking it every night apparently doesn't work so well.

Good luck. Insomnia is a bitch, I know. All the best wishes in the world.

One of the topics being discussed on Jeremy Vine's Radio 2 show today is 'Have you ever taken any medication with which the side-effects were worse than what you were treating?' ... Zopiclone sounds like it would fit comfortably into that category :| .

What Rave said, Sharky.

Thanks for the support. I've got now, and plan to cut the pill into halves, and start with a 3.75 mil dose tonight. I must be in bed or otherwise it'll knock me right out somewhere and I'll have no memory of what happened after I take it.

As I said, date rape...

Sounds nasty. Best of luck there.

Aye those are pills to take with caution, so I suspect wise to build slowly - in any event hope you recover soon.

Fuck her for fucking with my mind. Fuck her for not knowing what she wanted. Fuck her for dragging me into it. Fuck her for barely saying a word to me before she left. Fuck her for not waving. Fuck her for getting my hopes up. Fuck her for making my hopes useless.

I know it's not worth much in the scheme of things, Ambler, but have a virtual hug. I just wish I could share a bottle of Laphroiag with you.

Tonight I'm drinking to Sir Ambler.

Man, I'm a lazy person, but when I go to work I understand a 10 minute break means 10 minutes. 10 minutes does not mean an hour. Christ. What a horrible day. I hope I can find a real job soon.

Anyway, the Doctor Who announcement at 2 pm tomorrow on my day off is something to look forward to in addition to some cigarettes, booze, and re-reading a Bond novel. Time to get away from people for the day.

What do you work as, Moore-o?

A pretty crappy retail/department store job at the moment. Have a few applications in for something better so I can get out of this hell hole, so I'm hoping one of them works out for me or I hear from them soon.

Luckily in the short time I've been there I got bumped up to an assistant manager position within my department, which makes it less annoying, but yeah...certainly not somewhere I'd want to be for the rest of my life.

Seem to be in the same boat or at least half of one, Moore. Working in retail, aiming to get the hell out of it as soon as I can but it's not proving easy or even possible. Not where I want to be for what life I have.

Best of luck to you, sir.

Thanks, Hilly. And the best of luck to you, too! Hope everything works out well in the end!

What'd you two take up in school, Moore and Hilly?

Whenever I'm asked this question I pale with enforced embarrassment. I did Modern History [at university]. At the time it seemed a good idea. It was either that or journalism. Since then I've been almost yearly accepted onto a postgrad Broadcast Journalism class at my old uni' (said to be the best for this particular course) but I've not the funds to do it.

Christ, now I'm twice as depressed
