Every time I go shopping to Leeds (city) I have to play dodge the Big Issue Seller. I always politely say no thnakyou if I do not want to buy one, I never ignore them. One today siddled up to me, begged me to buy one, and then asked me if I had any food. I replied with “Yes, I have just eaten it”. I mean you tosser I’m not going to give you my Boots Shaper tuna and cucumber sandwich. Grrr. Does he expect me to let him have a bite?! They are always asking me for a fag as well. Sheesh.
Yeh I should be “nice” and buy a mag off them but I maybe I just don’t want to read it. I’m sick of being berrated to buy this magazine. There are some cool Big Issue sellers around, they stand there and don’t make you feel evil if you don’t wish to purchase and I salute them!

Im in pain again with another sodding wisdom tooth trying to poke out of it’s gum prison. It’ll get inflamed and painful every year for the next 3 years if the other one is anything to go by. I’d rather not go to the dentist and get antibiotics because I’d rather let nature do her thing but ouchi

I am happy because I’ve take a week off work *woohoo* plus I’m going to London next weekend to visit my mate Kate and have a right ol’ knees up *yay*

I am feeling somewhat down today. I am hoping this doesn’t rapidly descend into depression because I really don’t want another spell [rhetorical question] does anyone ever want a bout of depression?[/rhetorical question]. I’m sick of being shouted at, patronised, disrespected, undervalued and unapreciated at work. Today I got a rather severe telling off over a very petty matter which could have been simply resolved by telling me how to do it the correct way. Instead my evil boss made herself feel better in front of all the customers by putting me down. She’s the assistant manager and quite frankly I think a toilet brush shows more respect. Thank god the c*** has a day off tomorrow.

Oh well I can feel smug in the knowledge that I have more brains and more opportunities in life than she ever will. I want to go places eventually and acheive things rather than be stuck in some shitty factory shop for the rest of my working life.

Went to the local hospital today because, lately, I have been having problems with my hands. They often go numb, stiff and I get pain. So I trotted off to the docs and he ended up diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It basically means that an area of my wrist, the carpal tunnel, is inflamed, which in turn effects my fingers.

The docter explained what he’d like to do and proceeded by sticking 2 very big needles in my wrist, injecting hydrocortisone and steroids. I’m not one to be usually bothered by needles (this kinda helps when you are addicted to piercings) and I’m pretty good with pain, usually. I screamed blue murder with the second injection, it felt like it hit a never because my index finger was in so much pain! Then I went off to have some blood tests.

My right hand is still in pain and I am supposed to be resting it (hey I just had to come on the net though!) and they are going to send me some arm rests so I can rest them in the evening.

I’m happy that my condtion now has a name and a course of treatment. Even if this is a fairly regular occurence it’s good that it’s finally being sorted!

Today, at work, I spent 4 hrs standing by a changing room doing nothing. My rota has been changed again. It’s not safe to copy your hours down because it magically changes over night ruining all your plans. My two bosses are both rude and patronising. I can’t tell you how desperately I need a new job. The majority of people working there also want a new job. We all hate it. I come home from work in such a bad mood. I’d walk out tomorrow if I didn’t have debts. It’s depressing me. I’d love to tell my bosses to go get fucked.

I’m so diggin’ listening to Vivaldi (Summer – No 2 in G minor) and Strauss II (Die Fledermaus)….ahh makes a change from Nine Inch Nails.

Thailand: Two woman drugged and robbed a man by persuading him to suck their sedative-coated nipples. The pair approached Nontakorn Pearsontea at a bus stop in the north-eastearn city of Nakorn Ratchasima, took off their tops and invited him to suck their breasts. The 27-year-old, who lost cash, jewellery and his mobile phone, said: “I could not refuse but I woke up and found that I had lost everything”.

what a sucker, literally
