The hits keep on hitting. Told I have the diabeetus last week. This afternoon I get the call that my nan has passed away, so with my parents in America I'm handling things with my best British stiff upper lip and just now I finally sat down after having to call my mum and tell her that her mum has died then dealing with the paperwork, looked at my phone and it appears the reason I stopped hearing from the woman I was interested in persuing things with is that she might have taken her jerk ex back.

Sprinkle in a couple of minor work annoyances like people ignoring things I say when I'm meant to be a voice of authority and I'm just having a grand old time. Yaaaay.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Sometimes when it rains with the bad news it pours

Oh that all sucks, I'm sorry. Can you at least take a day or two off work? It'd give you some space to process and minimise the idiots while your tolerance is low.

[–] bull@aussie.zone 7 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah I've told work I won't be available tomorrow. Got some things to take care of so it'll be good to take a day.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time mate. Try to find some time to do some things that bring you peace when you can ❤️

I’m sorry for your loss.

Will you get some time or are you entitled to some bereavement leave?

Make sure you look after yourself as best as possible during this tough time and please let us know if there’s anything we can do for you.
