I've ****ed up years of my life not being able to address things

I keep my phone set so I don't get calls and can prepare myself before checking messages

**** like that

Jesus! How ****ing old are you guys? I mean, mentally? Just ignore it and it will go away? It takes a few minutes, maybe an hour, you can sort it out and you don't have to worry about it. And you're, none of you, prepared to do that? You deserve everything you get. The world doesn't owe you a living. Things go wrong. Get off your arses and fix them when they do. Grow up.

If I don't make a change soon I'll be exactly the same...

Yeah well, what can I say? If you're determined to be miserable I don't know what to tell you. I never loved my job, but I enjoyed it mostly, and I always got a reasonable feeling of job satisfaction. Bollixed tired most of the time, but I was glad not to be on the dole and to be a productive member of society. But hey, that's just me.

lol

Yeah, I'll get right on all that.

In that case, you should make it the kind of vacation that you would take if the world was about to end! (repeat as needed)

It's people like you that make people like me not want to talk about these things.

Instead of casting stones just be glad it's not you.

So you say you'll do it tomorrow

Who mentioned mental illness? Batty certainly doesn't have a mental illness, does he? Anything that prevents him interacting with people? Listen, if that's the case then I'm sorry, but he certainly put it in a way that suggested he couldnt' be bothered to sort it out, not that he had any anxiety about it. And then you two just said "us too".

So it's my fault you can't be arsed to make a phone call? Understood.
