Don’t Bother Me, I’m Eating

with 2 comments

Not sure if this is a cultural difference between the USA and the UK, or whether I just work with a bunch of rude idiots, but when I’m eating lunch at my desk I expect to be left in peace. Don’t come up and start a work conversation and prevent me from eating my food while it’s hot. I’m not so rude that I will ignore you and carry on eating, so instead you’ll ruin my lunch.

Tired of Being Sick

without comments

I assume there must have been a time when I didn’t feel sick but I can’t remember it. My first abscess/MRSA encounter was in November and I’m not sure I was sick before then so that’s probably when it all started. Since then of course I had the second abscess/MRSA deal and now a cold that has lasted a week and shows no sign of getting better. And my stomach hasn’t recovered from the first round of antibiotics, it’s been upset now for two months.

Maybe it’s no coincidence that I turned 42 in December, I was told that at 40 the body would deteriorate rapidly but perhaps I am just off by 2 years. Too bad I didn’t know or maybe I would have done something with those ‘extra’ two years. Yeah, I know, I would still have wasted them.

I, Citizen

with one comment


I am definitely a citizen:

  • got my naturalization certificate
  • got my US passport
  • got my voter registration card
  • got a jury duty summons

All I need now is my pick up truck and rifle.
