Bad Beat/Moaning/Venting - pray for Lazare

[DeadParrot]

I would have worked today if I could. I don't mind the lie in obviously, but getting paid is better than an unnecessary day off where I'm not doing anything.

I was planning 'working from home' but it seems I was rustled as on the way out the door was informed their was no budget for working today.
Considering the budgets involved that is pretty unlikely

[SatNav]

Just about over the shock I made day 2 of the IO. I'm fucking thrilled

If you've a vague interest in music and you've heard of Janis Joplin, check out BBC4 at 1.05 for a docu on this powerhouse of a woman . Insecure and brazen. Rumoured t have died from a dodgy batch of heroin aged 27 (yep the 27club) . Multitalented and a brilliant blues singer. Such a waste. Watch it reptiles you will enjoy.

Easter egg and Guinness hate each other but fk it let them fight it out in ma belly.

Poxy working on Good Friday but Scampi and Curry Chips went down a treat. Think it's time for wine.

Just to counterbalance all the "I wants a pint on the only day I am not allowed one because ya know, I'm weak psychobabbily"

Finished work at 6, opened at 12, had done £7K net when I left (was supposed to finish at 5), closed kitchen before 3 due to it melting down, 2 on bar, 2 on floor(I don't do the rota's), tills crashed at one point, absolute carnage!

Was supposed to go to a gig, sold out, went home to change (clothes melted to my skin), bottle of cider, basically blacked out at 1/2 time of match, just woke up, full pint at foot of bed!

God do I miss a good Catholic good Friday





Good warm up for Boat Race though

There is a movie called Groundhog Day, i recommend checking it out.

Good fun. Jumped off cash to hit the hay there now. Sharing a taxi with 2 fairly decent hookers who are on their way home to Ranelagh. No pics I'm afraid.

Feeling a bit nostalgic so rented Where Eagles Dare... man, what a great film that was, superb with a pizza. So easy to forget a great classic.

and there's more:

When I got home last night, the odd ball flatmates room was empty and a note was on the kitchen table saying he was gone

When I woke up around 3, his room door was closed, the note was gone and the light I'd left on in the kitchen was turned off

This morning, he did have the good sense to announce his presence to me before he used the bathroom as flatmate number 2 (the normal one) is away for the weekend

So how much does it cost to buy a house?

The battery on my HTC one had gone to the dogs, it's under warranty until June so a few weeks ago brought it into the 3 shop. It was sent off to the repair centre for a maximum of 10 working days I was told.
After numerous phone calls dealing with wholly unpleasant and unhelpful shop staff I was contacted after almost a month to come in and collect a 'new' phone as mine couldn't be repaired.

After a couple of full charges and a bit of usage testing the battery is suspiciously as shite as my old phone so I checked the imei and mac address and realise they've pretty much put on a new case and given me back my old phone with the same issues that prompted me to bring it into them in the first place.

Needless to say this is really pissing me off and I really don't want to have to deal with those clowns in the shop again, what's my play?

[dobby]

Get your mate that sorted out the scumbags with you that time, rock up to the three shop and cause mayhem. Take whatever phone you like. EZ

oooh Nelly....

He "lost" the keys of the flat when he apparently moved back in last night

Told him retrace his steps

"I have 100 times", he rings the agent, tells them keys lost and he is moving out, urgent, locks need replacing etc

I go into bathroom and stand on the keys

FUCKWIT!

Most akward goodbye ever followed, where I gave him the good luck handshake and he then stood at the door for 2 minutes

He still has keys!

I'm sleeping with a knife!

Got myself this last month. Very handy grilling steaks or chicken in the garage, no smelling the house up, extractor fan isnt the best. Have been using it 2-3 x week since i got it.



The bar marks make it taste better.



The chimichurri sauce was off the charts good. Might go with that sauce again for the lamb.

What are the red bits in the sauce?

A mixed bag. Decor is tired. Location is good. Service is excellent. Food in the restaurant overcooked and a waste of some excellent ingredients. Very family friendly. Claire had her first swim and loved it. I wouldn't recommend it to you but it's grand for what we needed.

Mrs V enjoyed her treatments. I'm off for a Swedish massage and then I'll catch the game. Tough life.

[Lazare]

Looking for some help/advice if anyone has any.

I've been experiencing really strong anxiety and anxiety attacks lately. Particularly at night time.

The night time ones have been happening sporadically over the last few years and I had gotten used to them. The first time it happened I was freaked out until I researched it and realised it was harmless.

That time, I was lying in bed about to go to sleep when just as I was about to drift off I got this jolt in my chest on the left side, then it happened again, and again. I jumped up out of bed and started googling heart attacks.
Don't ever do that.

Figured out the next day that it's fairly common, and is simply anxiety.

Anytime it happened after that I just dealt with it and considered it an inconvenience, nothing more.

I've rationalised that it's an evolved trait, the fight or flight response is over stimulated and the brain is basically keeping you awake as presumably ancestors that fell asleep during times of danger got eaten, those that got dummy heart attacks stayed awake and lived to pass the trait on.

As I said, these episodes have always been sporadic and relatively mild until recently. I think given what happened recently my body is in a constant state of fight or flight.
I'm getting really severe attacks of it almost nightly, and even though I know what it is, I'm still doubting myself while it's happening, thinking I'm having a heart attack, or a stroke. Had a horrible one last Wed night, evey time I started to drift I would get either a strong jolt, like an electric shock to my chest or a dizzy feeling of blood rushing to my head, I thought I was having a stroke, even though I knew I wasn't if that makes sense. Even though you're able to rationalise it in the moment, you still can't help having irrational fear.

Xanax works, but I don't want to be taking anything like that, can't get out of the bed in the morning when I do.

Have had a few daytime attacks too, which seem to be worse, but thankfully not too many.

My mood or general mental state doesn't seem to have any bearing on it, got one this morning for instance on the way home from the Parkrun, I was feeling great at the time.

Looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience and can offer advice, do I just wait it out?

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

Oh, I know people are going to say 'go see a doc', I probably will but I'm fairly sure all that will come of that is a box of xanax, I'm more interested in hearing experiential advice.

Go see a doc.

At least get the all clear on the physical side of the attacks, they may even help with the mental side of the attacks or could put you in touch with someone who could help, nothing wrong with the right medication either.

You have obviously been under tremendous stress, maybe speak to the doctor about grief counseling.

Like most situations, when you are in the middle of it, it can feel very overwhelming, it is only once you get out of that circle and can look in you can rationalise things again.

I suffer from anxietly myself (not diagnosed), really sill things, over complicating things usually.

Not a fan of speaking on the phone, if i know i have to calll someone i will play out 20 different scenarios in my head first. Completely irrational.

Same with sleeping, so many thought running through my head when i go to bed, i describe it as the old timetables in a train station, with all the letters flickering over and over and over.

It is such a sign of strength to ask for help when you have trouble coping. Not the other way around.

Have you figured out what could be triggering them at all? I think, and I could be wrong, that anxiety attacks can often be caused if you are experiencing a lot of stress or feeling a lot of pressure in some area(s) of your life.
My only suggestion would be to speak to a therapist about it and see if it's something that you would need to medicate or if there is some other solution.
I know people who have suffered anxiety for a long time(they often get them at night before some stressful moment in the coming days) and I don't think it goes away by just hoping it will pass, you need to try confront it and figure out the underlying causes. Hopefully you manage to do it Conor.

Gross stuff delighted for Conn though. Ryan dropping a simple pass in 22 when 7-3 up other poor mistakes. Redic heart from Connacht didn't think 7 would be enough.

Ryan made a few very bad mistakes. Cullen was too slow to unleash the bench IMO. Takes at least 10 minutes for a bench to really get trucking. Very unlucky Mick and great result for Connacht. Still think Leinster will win the playoffs.

We've often complained about how certain countries have straightforward WC qualification, the USA in Concacaf being a prime 'open goal' example.
So its interesting to see them in a spot of bother in their very easy preliminary qualifying group.. Beaten by Guatemala last night, play the same opposition at home on Wednesday and if they lose they'll be effectively eliminated 27 months before the World Cup starts.

Lots of their famous big heart needed.

Ya read a article he was unhappy with game time no wonder. Madigan poor blocked down twice not looking for the drop at the end. Lacked courage and conviction to try. Ruddock leaving a ball behind in a scrub which would have yielded a pen was poor as well. Possible Leinster pen last scrum loughney just dropped but 6 points with a gale on your back

Had the pleasure of watching it in a limerick bar where everyone was shouting for Connacht. It was 79:57 on the tv when ball was kicked out. Nearly had a heart attack. Also Madigan is a bottler of the highest degree, should have taken a drip goal a few times in the last 10. Recommend you head for O Connell's in Eyre Square
