h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just popped by to say we have some nice people on here didn't mean to affend any one thou.

Thanks for that, it can get a bit rough on the old sarcasm thread, the usual suspects know what it's all about, no names mentioned, but I genuinely don't like upsetting innocent byestanders, and it's a compliment to you that I thought you were one! Cheers, Ham.

I see your in the same sort work as i thanks for compliment there's good and bad in that thread but after all it is a sarcasm thread and after all.

Just retired actually, must update my PS! I am looking for some gainful employment whether or not it will be in Social Work is debatable, I'm frankly burnt out and traumatised, but got out before it started showing! What do you do then Princess?

I'm a care worker i look after alot young children find them new parents ect.

I've never worked with children directly since I was a student, but I do (sorry did) get involved in child protection quite a bit, I worked in Probation and Mental Health, but in truth I'm glad to be away from it. I'm sure you are doing very valuable work. See you.

I'm off at moment due to my mother being not well and due to stress i was get too involved you see.

How are you today and what have you been doing mr ham?

Hello Princess, sorry you're not so good, I know how easy it is to get sucked in, and these days, you don't get the support you need and deserve, for goodness sake, don't think it's any weakness in you, just get well and look at your options. I'm just having an easy few weeks myself before deciding what I want to do next, and, like you I guess, de-stressing and building my mental resources up, you can't do much for others if you're a wreck yourself, and that's the way I was getting, and I guess I'm a good bit older than you! All the best.

Hello Ham
I like helping others with Learn difficulties as i went to a specail school due to dislexia and i get too involved because i know what the young one's are go through

you need time out i'm glad im off as i feel less stress at home even thou i got problems at home

I'm go to get help with my dislexia i start a night class it see how bad it's gone and will mind and brain training be any good as i have bad memory i have to write everythink down so i don't forget what i did the day before.

i made you some hope you ok

Well, it takes a lot of courage to tackle these things, and I admire you for giving it another go despite your negative experience at school, adult education is good anyway, it's a great way of making new friends, I'll bet you get a lot out of it. Anyway, you're having a fairly long written conversation with me and I get your meaning perfectly well, have a good weekend, Ham.

Hi ham
Before i was put in a specail school i was in a boarding school one my teachers spotted my problem, yes night school be good even my hubby said it give me a goal to achieve as i would love to type and spell properly as my brain dosn't reckonise some words,

I hope you had a nice saturday today we did except the rain.

Yup, poured here too, (Oxfordshire) watched a rugby match till driven into the bar by rain! It was dry in there though!

I've a love for I'm a huge massive Everton fan so my younger brother and my hubby a fan too! the rest family support liverpool

did you have a good weekend except the bad weather?

Hello Princess, my goodness, that must cause some trouble and strife in the family! I was down in the dumps all day yeterday cos Wigan turned us (Newcastle) over!

Hi ham
so you suport wigan ? that must be a small time team as i don't see them much on the league table?

yes i am now stress free phone up(boss) said i wasn't going back as i'd only get involved and i be upset all over.

I'm go be a full time housewife as it be less stressful and i could always do voluntree work or some sort hobbie keep me amused i've neglected my family i always put socail before life,

take care
Princess ps. my names hilary you can call me Hils for short

Thanks for that Hils, no I support Newcastle! Wigan indeed! I'll bet you felt better as soon as you made your mind up, well done. Of course there's the finances to think about, but presumably you can manage. As I said earlier, don't think that you can't do a job just because of this experience, I guess you were left with more than anybody could be expected to deal with, it's not always like that. Ham.

I left as it was too stressful and i didn't get time to spend with my daughter or husband. and i want be full time mother and wife so i made a choice as we be ok for money as we have always been secure there.

and how are you today ? i final understand ped he been email me i thought he was a right one i understand what he means now

Glad to here it, I wouldn't try to understand him, just rope and throw and brand him as the song goes. You do seem a lot more at peace with yourself though and I'm glad for you, Ham.

Did you know he's a fisherman who gose fishing down devon he seem's very buisy i've no idea why he wanted i to know that he was a fisherman do you as i am still rather stumped there.

Hope your weekend is good?

mine been ok except i falling out with a rather old friend who been good to me over the year's my husband want's me to leave it be at moment i am going to do what he asks. i miss him too!

the weather real bad outside we supose go out for a meal later i don't think it's good weather to go out in.

so what are your plans sinse you left your currant job?

Yep, the weather's rubbish here too Princess, just getting ready to go for my regular Sunday beer. Yep, Ped mailed me too to tell me what a great rugby player he was, I didn't understand that either, but each to his own. I'm looking for some work, hopefully part-time, got to speak to someone tomorrow actually, enjoy your lunch if you do get out!
