(As I was ill in loony bins all three years of his undergrad)

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:15

Hm. Employment prospects are poor no matter what I do tho, who's going to employ a lifelong abnorm?

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:17

((( yoni + yonisprogs )))

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:18

Wait, I wasn't in the bin for three years solid, i just mean I was in at least once each year

CaulkheadUpNorth · 05/02/2015 17:18

Scientists and engineers and medical people have jobs. Some friends say they would do one of those now if it was them.

I'm scared of blood, can't do science and maths fails me so really I had to do my degree and would again and again if I could.

SnowyMouse · 05/02/2015 17:19

You never know, they have to interview you.

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:20

I can do maths/science etc., always used to get put forward for all that maths Olympiad shit etc. - I just dont enjoy it much.

Ennn i know what y mean but u know rationally u can't hold yourself responsible for your brothers actions/degree classification, I know it's not easy to be rational. I don't really know what we can do for DS2 and DD, other than Chinese. I wake up every morning and my heart sinks when I realise DS1 is in the unit.

happyyonisleepyyoni · 05/02/2015 17:22

At least DS1 is in quite a nice loony bin with a proper coffee shop, not that I am obsessed with coffee.

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:22

There's never enough support for families yoni.

happyyonisleepyyoni · 05/02/2015 17:24

Ps universities hire mental abnorms all the time, like me

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:24

I was in a shit kiddy loony bin where I got my shoulders repeatedly dislocated by the staff and a butane habit coffee shop sounds nicer

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:25

Oooh, academia Grin could be fun

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:33

Am also obsessed with coffee; have had three cappuccini cappuccinos from three different coffee shops today. screw the italians

CaulkheadUpNorth · 05/02/2015 17:34

A cap is breakfast. You can only drink it before 11am.

SnowyMouse · 05/02/2015 17:37

Don't you get wired by 3 cappuccinos? not necessarily a bad thing.

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:38

Hence "screw the Italians"

The woman I bought a coffee from in greggs said " cappuccino without chocolate on top is a latte" so I doubt she was judging me for afternoon cappuccino drinking

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:40

Have also had three filter coffees and a litre of coke so cappuccinos are the least of my caffeine intake Wink

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:41

Mmm. Caffeine. Do. You find it affects you badly snow?

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:42

Gonna shut up for a bit

SnowyMouse · 05/02/2015 17:43

I find caffeine helps me, to stay awake. My old psychiatrist said a can or two would help.

You don't need to shut up Ennn, it's nice talking with you.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 05/02/2015 17:47

Haha. No. I imagine she spelt espresso with an x too.

Ennn · 05/02/2015 17:57

Thanks snow Blush

Had to get in car

Reckon I could get a job based solely on my cattell culture-fair results and not on actual achievements/ability/productivity/inclination to work? Cause that's the only way its going to happen Grin

SnowyMouse · 05/02/2015 18:00

You never know Grin

Ennn · 05/02/2015 18:05

fucking massive blisters all over my right hand where I splattered it with brown roux Sad it's annoying, I use my right hand a lot. It's right handy.
