And just to cheer us all up, a wee excerpt from our holiday conversations:

Too much exposure to Uxbridge English Dictionary at an impressionable age, I think.

I don't know what I would have done without my husband either. They're such wonderful creatures, aren't they? Hope you enjoy your food! :)
ReplyDeleteVet. Ahahaha :D
ReplyDeleteHeh. Gotta love lexical humour.
ReplyDeleteAnd good for you on the work stuff. Softly softly catchy monkey.
Yes, that sounds so familiar from my son-in-law - only his situation has been going on for a long time and his current situation is a lot less successful. Well done you.
ReplyDeleteYour son might not know what you call a Frenchman wearing sandals? Philippe Philoppe? (Courtesy of my son, at tea time, and he has less excuse because he's 23.)
First off: well done you for getting back to work! Eye contact can come later... getting there is the main thing to start with.
ReplyDeleteIt does all sound so familiar - I'm the one who makes the phone calls, possibly less successfully than your husband. I hope you continue to get better and enjoy your illicit flirtation with M&S.
I've just passed the vet joke on to J, and raised a giggle. And he's 28.
I reckon work is not the place for eye contact anyway. In fact, I avoid my work colleagues as much as possible. The boss told me off the other day for "not engaging" with the other staff. I'm now under orders to keep my door open at all times! She didn't mention eye contact though.
ReplyDeleteActually, I avoid eye contact with my family most of the time too. Hmmm...depression is more common than many people think, isn't it?
I agree with your comment and the responses you've received: You, like J, are both greatly blessed by having wonderful partners.
and *I* love the random number generator posts!!
