Today can fuck right off

[Barmbraic]

I haven't slept properly in nearly three weeks, I'm having horrible stress dreams every night. Last night I barely slept at all. Work is annoying.

I decided to have a major comfort dinner, roast chicken, roast potatoes & veg, gravy, the works. I've never had it but someone was talking about it at the weekend, so I decided to make myself cauliflower cheese. I love cauliflower, I love cheese, what could be more perfect?

To get the flour I had to dig through the baking cupboard of doom. Only to find some twatbag probably me had managed to knock over a tin of golden syrup. It was everywhere. So while cooking dinner and doing homework, I had to empty out the cupboard, clean the various tins and jars and find homes for the contents of ruined packets.

Cauliflower cheese is mediocre at best.

Yip, it can fuck off.

Been told I'm not good enough at my job to continue and I should consider other options.

That's awful, hope you're ok, was there anything constructive you could work on?

Thank fuck today is nearly over. I have a colleague at work who has not been giving me the work I need to do my job, which has held up a project she is managing. She has told the new director, who I haven't met, that I'm the reason the project has been delayed because I'm not doing my job properly.

TimeToCloseTheDoor everything, bar the syrup, was delicious.

Emulsion? This happened to me years ago in a hire car but they were in the boot. I used copious amounts of water with a jet hose and prayed they couldn’t be bothered to check the boot when I returned it...

I feel your pain, you win a frozen cauliflower cheese voucher from Asda

Nooooooooooooo!

Bloody hell, golden syrups gets everywhere and is a nightmare to clean off. Today has almost fucked off, send it on its way with a ... Or maybe on second thoughts, .

fatgirlshrinking ok, your boss beats my boss as Bad Boss of the Day. He sounds like a complete idiot and completely lacking in emotional intelligence and management skills! I really feel for you....when you feel like you’re on your last ebb that’s the last thing you need!

My boss is similarly lacking in those skills....I’ve slowly learnt that others in the team feel the same and have had the same difficulties as I have, which at least makes me feel I’m not alone!

Can only hope that Bad Boss Karma is a thing.....

Yes! Yes it can. Mine ended up with me sobbing over my old house listing on Rightmove, because I miss my the life I had and am PMSing like a MF.

PS really loving the cauli cheese interludes in this post! I’m an all in one in a saucepan or a microwave cheese sauce person - ain’t nobody got time for rouxs (well, except chefs and people who like things done properly 😁).

Fucking roofer STILL hasn't fixed the roof properly. Damp patch on ceiling is spreading and now down the wall. Got locked out of my work VPN because let password expire. Had fibro flare up possibly caused by flujab and spent most of today in bed..staring at damp patch on ceiling. Shit day

Leaks are shit, dementedma. We've been stalked by them in our last three houses.

My evening has got better. I opened a package with some gorgeous wool and started by friend's birthday present.

Omg frozen cauliflower cheese from Asda is life changing x

I had to use frozen cauliflower at the weekend (no fresh available) so I boiled it for a few minutes then put it in the oven on about 140 to dry off while I made the cheese sauce (40g butter, 40g flour, tsp English mustard powder, make a roux, take off heat and gradually whisk in 1pint milk. Return to heat, stir lots until boiling, add a fuck ton of cheddar.)
I poured the sauce straight over the cauliflower, whacked it under the grill to brown and it was lovely and thick, not a hint of sogginess.

Well I bought 2 cauliflower and a ropey bargain broccoli today.
Yes I’m going in

I managed to close the garage door on my shoulder and am now sporting a pretty impressive bruise, managed to hit myself in the nose with a car seat handle so have an impressive bruise and black eye, not to mention the mild concussion I seem to have, and then the dogs lead decided to snap beside a road. Luckily gitdog actually listened to me and came back immediately.

Today can definitely do one

Ouch! That sounds very painful.

I managed to cut my finger on the top, supposedly not sharp, part of my new kitchen knife. I bled all over the dinner...

Can I join in today fucking off please? Spent most of it in tears after accidentally discovering a vitriolic and deeply spiteful email sent from my friend/colleague to our boss blaming me for pretty much everything from the weather to Hitler's invasion of Poland. She's been as nice as pie to my face, I had no idea she'd done this horrible thing and obviously I wasn't meant to see her email.
My tears are for the loss of our close friendship which meant a lot to me and feeling so stupid that I hadn't seen who she really was.
She's full of apologies now and 'doesn't want to lose our friendship'. Seriously, fuck off you wrong 'un.
The issue was she feels overburdened with work (we all are, we work in a school) and felt that was my fault somehow. My god, the nastiness spilling off the page is shocking.
Literally the only good thing is it put me off food today, although I'm sure tomorrow will be back to haribo normal.
Tomorrow will be a better day for all of us I hope

That's awful, Eaumyword, I'm so sorry that happened to you

Drizzle oil on the cauli and roast it. Game changer.

Morning all, hope today is a better day x
