Is it all a race to the finish?

[Lottora]

I worked for around twenty years to get where I am. Few people could say the same. I read mumsnet and see people complaining, yet I never have a complain.

I seem to have a pretty normal life. From the time I wake up, to the time I take my afternoon nap, I'm focussed on my task.

If it's a race to the finish, and the winner gets what, then why are you still here?

yet I never have a complain

And yet here you are, visibly whinging that people aren't more like you.

OP's boss - what job does she do?

'then why are you still here?'

So am I meant to be on MN or not?

the 'finish' to me is death, so i'll gladly take my time if it's all the same to you

"I worked for around twenty years to get where I am. Few people could say the same."

Yes they could.

PS I only picked up on this bit because I understood it. The rest was a bit Grasshopper for me.

I'm confused. complaining about people complaining?

Someone is definitely channelling MN's resident wino Gabbyloggon...

Anybody fancy a pint?

I would have put good money on this being a gabbyloggon post.

I would LOVE a pint Talc. I was having a lovely lovely cold beer at lunchtime everyday last week (I was on holiday though) and now I'm all back at work and not sitting in a taverna.

me. Talc

i'd bloody well love one right now, just had an hour's worth of bus journeys and passed a cracking pub with a garden full of smug bastards drinking cold beers whilst pointing and laughing at me customers

Ooh, a lovely pint of ice cold cider.

Followed by an afternoon nap.

Righto then

See you all down the Whig and Pistle

You have to be focussed on that task right up to that afternoon nap whattadoo. In the OP's case, that's probably a word search. Remind me, what's an afternoon nap?

Good day Sir!

Yes, someone channelling Gabby. Think he's older though, would have clocked up more than a mere 20 years (I've just completed my quarter century, waiting for a mystery parcel from my company!! They sent me a nano for my 20th, hope the OP wins something nice too )

I get what you're saying cogitoergosometimes.

However, some people find cider actually helps them focus on their task.

I suspect the OP is one of these people.

Shirley - i love you too.
it's collar, so you were right in the first place.

collar looks weird (and I'm not even drunk)

that's because you're used to plunging cleavage necklines

I prefer a stiff one, myself.

(collar that is)

raspberries????????????

those huge things?
raspberries??????????????

I want a complain.
Everyone seems to get a complain except me.

I did see that pony though.
