So my former place of work has just sent me an invite to a disco they're running.WTF?After what happened? Would I go?FUCK, NO!Even if I was crazy enough to want to go, there'd be at least one person there who would make it an extremely unpleasant experience. |

Feeling rather lethargic right now. And I don't think shaking in terror is a good thing while you're going shopping, either... |

| Stuff. |
[Jun. 22nd, 2009|11:29 am] |
Today I go to find out the results of the blood test (I doubt they'll show anything significant), and to try and get the doc to give me the stuff needed for an ESA claim... |
|
|
| Urrrgh. |

This cold is knocking the crap out of me. My head hurts, my sinuses hurt, my nose is either blocked or running and I generally feel like shit. Coughing and wheezing isn't helping either.
Great. |
|
|
| Fun. |
[Jun. 10th, 2009|02:41 pm] |
Past few days I've been experiencing pain on one side of my head - sometimes it shoots across my forehead. So I told the doc about this. Got a blood test in seven days... with both a phobia and a hypersensitivity of needles, that promises to be a bundle of laughs. |

| Not been eventful today. |

Got to see mum's new puppy, Penny. Five month old whippet, 99% black fur, that had just been dumped down the lane. WTF is wrong with people? |
|
|
| Crappy. |
[Jun. 3rd, 2009|02:29 pm] |
Not feeling at all good emotionally or mentally right now... not really been feeling all that good the past few days especially, really. Wish I knew why. |
|
|
| Heh! |

Been a good day, today. Went up the Worcestershire Beacon with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) araquan, rickrolled a pub afterwards. Had a rather nice madras hodge-podge I managed to concoct.
Nice! |
|
|
| So, the weekend. |

It's been pretty good thusly. araquan and I have been to Worcester, where much alcohol was imbibed. Definitely reccomend the Plough (though you know that already - right, ppotter?)! |
|
|
| 32 and 1 day... |
[May. 27th, 2009|12:05 pm] |
Yesterday, spent the time riding on steam trains at Severn Valley Railway - took quite a few photos, of which I'll be uploading some at some point soon (along with others of a walk on the hills on Sunday). |
|
|
| And low, birds are chirping outside. |

When it isn't raining, anyway.
We went to Worcester, yesterday. Nice time was had there indeed.
Probably off to Hereford today with araquan and ppotter. Hopefully there'll be opportunities to take pics of the cathedral. |
|
|
| Yay |
[May. 17th, 2009|01:03 am] |
araquan is here right now and much fun is being had! Along with ppotter it's a good time here at Chez Sslaxx! |

| Brits: Advice on resignations. |
[May. 8th, 2009|11:16 am] |
Have any of you fellow Brits had to leave work on unfavourable or just plain bad terms? If so, what advice could you give about trying to claim benefits? I'm looking to claim ESA (I'd imagine claiming DLA might make that a little easier to do), but I'm wondering if the circumstances of my resignation might impact upon that. Ditto tax credits.
Also, when do I start the cancelling tax credits process? When I sent off my resignation letter? If I get acknowledgement of the letter? Or...?
The things that could make claiming benefits of any kind difficult are:- The fact the resignation is immediate and no notice period has been given;
- The nature of the resignation;
- The fact I was going to have been put through the formal warning process had I stayed on
|

|
| I'm out of there. |
[May. 6th, 2009|03:35 pm] |
After being told that my line manager has serious issues with me - to the extent she's refusing to be in the same office as I am - I consider that to be the worm-infested cherry on top of a cake made of pure crap.
I'm resigning. |
|
|
| So, back to work today. |
[May. 6th, 2009|07:57 am] |
After three weeks off.
It promises to be uh, interesting. And that's in the sense of the Chinese curse.
If I still have a job by 8pm tonight... colour me surprised. That said, I'm not entirely sure I still want it. I think it's a case of "stick a fork in me, I'm done". At this point in time, repairing my mental health has to take priority over a job.
And what then? To be honest, right now I'm not sure if I can hold a job down. I need to try and resolve whatever issues I'm currently experiencing that are making life hard, first.
Ah, well, let's see what happens... |
|
|
| Oh, please... |
