Maybe some condoms, for the parents?

That's what she said. (I don't mean that in the jokey way...monster mentioned the condoms before referring to the post, because her link to the situation had been deleted.)
Similar thing happened to me at my old old job. We 'adopted' a family at Christmas each year and one girl said her friend was really needy. "They have five kids and one on the way!" There was no mention of a sudden unemployment or the like. I leaned over to another woman in this meeting and mumbled "so, how about we get them a box of condoms?" I mean, they know their financial situation but just keep popping them out? I would rather give to a family who recently lost income they depended on or who had unexpected medical bills or something like that, not one more Catholic family who feels the need to just keep on having kids no matter what. And yes, that WAS the situation. |

For whatever reason, I can never remember that QFT means "quoted for truth." I always read it as "quit fucking trying," and then I have a good ten-second spasm in my head at the unexpected rudeness before I finally remember.

I always misread it as 'quite fucking true'.

I never knew what it meant, so I skipped those posts.

The "word" jelly as an abbreviation for jealous (when really they mean envious most of the time anyway) just needs to die in a nasty green slimy nukular asplosion.
that is all. for now.

We fat kids still salivate at jelly, and won't accept dilution by tangential nerd speak.

Oh Jesus fucking christ, I am so sick of this bastard thesis. I can't believe how much work I have done. I can't believe how much is still to do.
It's just all too much. I've turned into a hermit - I don't talk to anybody (except Ma). I don't answer the phone in case it's debt collectors - I can't spare the time or mental energy to sort out payment plans or anything. (I haven't done a telesales shift for two and half weeks - so payday at the start of Jan will be about £40 lol ) none of that matters. All that matters is the thesis. I don't go anywhere, except walking the dog. I go to sleep with the thesis in my head, I get up with it still there. I make myself spend at least an hour in the evening just watching tv, and I usually read for half an hour before I sleep. That and the bits of time I spend posting here is the only time I am not thinking about the thesis. I want to cry when I think about how much work there still is to do over the next 2 weeks (xmas day excepted). And I want to shout at how close I am to the end. It currently stands at a little over 65k words and 149 pages. I've probably got another 10k words to add to bring it all together - and a fuckton of reference checking and formatting.
