Good one.

I'm at a stage in my life where I need to think about this. I have one friend who constantly makes digs at me under no provocation. I shouldn't be on edge around people like that but I am.

Just to clarify, I wasn't slating the doctor and I wasn't mad. I was prescribed anti-depressants though which confused me considering I "wasn't depressed", according to her. That was also the second appointment. At the first I found her very helpful. I'm also paying for therapy currently. I think this is part of the problem identifying it though. Unless you're showing pretty much every symptom, or your life is "great" on the face of it and you still feel this way it may not be taken seriously. My current circumstances aren't brilliant but they haven't really changed from previous years. Financially I'm doing okay. When I was on the dole I sure as hell didn't feel the way I do now though. Very confusing. I doubt it will ever be properly understood by any of us.

I actually had a doctor tell me I was just fed up and not depressed a few weeks back.

I'm so knackered at the end of a shift that I don't want to do anything.

At least you took a risk. What was the job if you don't mind me asking?

I would love if my company would pay me to not be there anymore. In all seriousness I don't see a way out of my situation. Absolutely no-one understands that I don't want to apply for shite jobs that hundreds of other people will apply for as well. I have no ideas whatsoever on what I could do that I would like. People who think this is how life should be are c***s and I hate them.

During the 2014 World Cup I was having to get up at about half 3 - 4 in the morning for work, so the 9pm kick-offs were shite for me personally at that point. Missed a couple of crackers as well.

Fizzy pop.

Peppino is an absolutely awful poster. Woops, wrong thread.

A woman in front of me on train earlier was scratching and picking at her sunburnt skin. How could you think that's a good idea?

I'm not sure I really give a f**k about independence anymore. I still believe it's the right way for Scotland, but not by the huge margin that I originally thought, and I don't think a lot of the people who voted Yes last time would do so again. I'm also coming around to the idea that most of the SNP members are utter bellends.

Brazil aren't particularly good to watch.

People who go out of their way to say how much they hate Donald Trump are worse than Trump himself.

Having children looks like an utterly horrendous experience and anyone who says it's rewarding and that they enjoy it is almost certainly lying.

Crocs are even worse.

Anyone who talks about cars (particularly what litre engine they have), drinking (particularly what types of gin and vodka are nice), and football is a boring arsehole who's desperate to fit in with all the other boring arseholes in society. Anyone who bets on a frequent basis is a loser.

Not having a good time at all at the moment. For the last couple of months I've not felt right. Decided to go for the private counselling I mentioned previously and started that last month. I'm getting out things that I've never talked about before, which I feel you have to do if you want to make it work (although everyone's different). I've also been to a GP but wasn't prescribed medication (which at the time I wanted but now I'm not keen) but may have to go back as I'm feeling progressively worse. I've been constantly having suicidal thoughts the last week or so, and just generally feel like a wave of emptiness has washed over me. I also had another attempt at starting a relationship go tits up a few months ago. It completely took me aback as things seemed to be going well. Now I've pushed her away as the nasty side of my personality convinced myself that she was using me for attention and she was to be avoided at all costs. The other side wants to talk to her. I keep starting new hobbies and trying to set myself goals but now I just look at these as more things I can fail at.

Genuinely didn't know who the Barca manager was until I read this thread yesterday. That's how little I follow European football.

Cheers.

Filling out an application. I have the option to have them not be contacted prior to an interview which is good I suppose. I have options but I just don't want to hassle people for this. Another question. I converted the application from Word to OpenOffice so I could fill it in. Will they able to open the application when I e-mail it back to them? They said it had to be compatible with Microsoft Office.

Started a job application last night but the old annoying issue of getting references is bugging me. Dont want my current employers to know I'm applying but I need the reference. It's a pain in the arse and I dont know how to deal with it because I overthink things like this. Any advice?

Are they remembrance day kegs?

Only left school with one higher ( a B in History), but that higher got me onto an HND which I worked really hard at - probably too hard - and I got two As and a B in the exams for that. I'd never got an A in my life prior to that. Even though I've never gotten a job with it, it taught me useful stuff with regards to employment rights and contracts which has stood me in good stead.

Not being a Tennents fan boy here (I'm not), but Staropramen is fucking rancid.
