Life is just peachy

[sqbr]

So, after several months of me taking more and more days off work and being less and less productive on the few days when I did drag myself in, I and my manager discussed it and I'm just not going to go in again until I'm better enough to be able to work consistently (exact amount of time off to be decided after I can find a decent doctor who knows anything about chronic fatigue). Which on the one hand is, obviously, a hugely bad sign about my health and future, but on the other is a major relief since it got to the point where the effort of just choosing what to wear was more than I could handle most days.

I thought about locking this and disabling comments, since I'm not really in the mood to discuss it and don't need sympathy (it's not like it's a sudden shock, and I'm..not always good with well meant sympathy) but hopefully this way I can avoid a lot of awkward "So hows work?" conversations.

Anyway, expect a lot of ill thought out lj posts in the near future since I have nothing else to do and if nothing else it stops me wandering around tiring myself out :) Unless lj decides to stop me posting again!

Bummer - sounds like a good move though. Good luck! I have absolutely no useful advice to offer, but I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best.

[alias_sqbr]

Thankyou, it's appreciated. And no advice is better than bad advice :)

Yay someone else I can chat to all day long!
Er...

I'm on msn, icq, gmail, and lj chat...
:-)

Hey, I forgot about chat! (nico_wolfwood keeps bugging me to chat with her but I don't have access at work) *logs in*

I am alias.sqbr at google chat

(though I was about to go out and buy some fruit :))

I had CF for three years so if you ever want someone to talk to... just offering...

[alias_sqbr]

I meant to talk to you at Femmeconne but then forgot. So yes, if you have any advice (a good doctor! My kingdom for a doctor who knows what they're talking about!) or what have you it would be VERY appreciated. I sometimes get oddly self conscious talking about it with other people who have/have had it for some reason :/

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

I have a lot of things to say about doctors and can talk to you about how I ended up getting better - want to have lunch with me on the weekend?

[alias_sqbr]

Ok! I am (as you might expect) not up to moving much though and don't have my license. Hmm. Easiest places for me with lunchy stuff are Morley or Maylands (or the Bayswater pub, if you like buffet :)) but I have no idea where you live. I can if necessary make the city.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

You have CF and I have a car - where would be easiest for you?

[alias_sqbr]

The bayswater hotel is probably the best bet (though not glorious, but not much in this area is), and I know I can eat some of the food there. Hows 11:30?

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Sounds great - Saturday?

[alias_sqbr]

Yes! Sorry, that was in the bit of my comment you had to be psychic to get, I must stop doing those :D

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

I only use my powers for good!

See you there :)

OK, man's name is Roy Jensen and he works out of a clinic 9339 8988, isn't always there but they will be able to schedule appointments etc.

[alias_sqbr]

Thankyou so much! Appointment is made.

I, too, am neatly dodging the sympathy ban by saying "I hear you".

I'm lauredhelhoyden on gtalk, lauredhel on ljtalk, and a few others which I'll happily disclose by email if desired.

[alias_sqbr]

Awesome. *adds you*

[penchaft.livejournal.com]

Party on google chat!

[alias_sqbr]

I hope I'm not going to be contributing to people's study procrastination, I say like the boring grownup I am :)
