Abi's weightloss diary - post jaw surgery

ha. he is. to the point of driving me mad actually. but i want to feel the same way about me. and this was my big incentive. and it doesn't appear to have done an awful lot of good.

and i'm shattered. i'm having coffee already. not good!! still. at least it will prevent me from eating everything in sight!!

Hi honey, you aren't a big fat cow!! And you are loads smaller than me!! I know you are at the desperate stressed stage ..... You could try diet chef? The food is nice and I lost a stone in my first fortnight...... It's just low gi but at least you would be eating well. xxx

and you are gorgeous!!!

i am being driven mad at work. a program i spent three months in writing i am now being told 'the whole point of' was to make it fully automated... which is impossible. and that isn't the 'whole point' that i was given when writing it. once you introduce technology people assume that they will then be able to press one button and it will all do itself. well sorry if you still have to do some work. i'm not a bloody miracle worker. and it wasn't me that made the decision to not do more, i am not a development worker. i'm supposed to be first line support, yet how often do i write on here about working on code... which isn't my job. i'm fuming. and feeling fatter by the second. like i'm inflating or something. today is not a good day.

not good abz, what sort of a program is it and what do they mean by fully automated? can you run it as a DOS Batch job?

 

[abz]

no jim. it is work they have to do. it's for data inputters so they can input the data, then it's formatted and output in the way it's supposed to be without them having to do an awful lot of manual formatting. and it's all based around days of the week, dates, times, all of which are different. and it does this. unfortunately they have to manually tick a box for every second tuesday, all thursdays exept the first one etc as it would have been very time consuming for them to do this. and this was fine as they were only processing one week at a time. however now they are doing two weeks so they have to copy and paste one set of data amongst another, which still doesn't take very long, but apparently it's too long. so now i have to make it so that the program can accept, and output data that is identified by any possible combination of day and week. so every week is taken care of. every other week is easy too. but the third friday of every month. or the second tuesday? or the second and third tuesday of every month? it isn't too difficult but it's bloody laborious!! still. i don't have to do it yet!!

ah, understood love.

well my aunty just got in touch asking whether she, or another aunt should take one of my elderly relatives to the wedding.. the husband of one drives very fast and my 79-year-old great aunt will be a wreck by the time she gets there. so why ask me when they already know what i think? so i ripped her head off via text message saying 'you know what? whatever. as long as she gets there'.. she is now very offended. but can't people just use their initiative??

i can see cracks appearing in my calm exterior. they are hardly hairline either. i have so many things to do and organise all on my own. can't people take care of their own little bit so that i don't have to worry about it? is that too much to ask?

Just come on here and rant instead of ranting at others love.

 

[abz]

you'll all be sick of me!!

i've already texted again and apologised. i feel really bad. but at the same time people should be able to either do what i asked in the first place or make the decision to change it without piling it on me. it's a lift for goodness sake. it isn't imperative. i want to crawl under a big rock. preferably one that transports me to a sunny beach somewhere with a huge coconut full of alcohol and an umbrella!!

 

[Jim]

No we won't abz, don't be silly.

 

[abz]

you have the patience of a saint jim

we have a honeymoon we are going to cyprus.

i am second-guessing myself because it is so expensive and i have such high expectations and i don't want to be disappointed. the beach doesn't look great but other than that i'm hoping it will be amazing

fingers crossed.

[BREN]

I'm sure it will be!

[Tazzi]

It will be hun!!! xx

 

[abz]

well it might have been but i decided that i really hated it and we've changed it. now i'm starting to doubt myself again but i'm being a tit. the new one is far nicer. there's only about six inches of beach at this one but it's there!! and i can get into the sea without falling off a rock but it's still rocky. but hey. we're going to cyprus

the hotel we are now going to is a lot more contemporary and the pool area looks an awful lot nicer.

it is for older people. no kids allowed, so looking at pics the majority of the clientele seem to be over 50. but hey. it's not like we're clubbers.

so all in all i feel better. i'm just fretting because spending over 2k on any one thing is going to make me panic!! now all we need is a sodding wedding cake!!

Cyprus is lovely Abz you'll have a fabulous time!

Its phenominal(sp) how much people can charge for a wedding cake... I'm means its just a cake after all? Have you looked into buying the plain white iced ones from supermarkets in different sizes & then finding someone talented to decorate it for you?? Just a thought!

How are you doing otherwise? Are you still wiped? x
