Another week has disappeared and I just don’t know where the time goes. I’m still painting the house as well as doing many other bits and pieces around the place. I haven’t finished lining the walls yet because I’m a couple of sheets short but there is no hurry to get that bit done. I’ve been focusing on the painting and I’m glad to say that I think the colour looks OK.
Trump thinks he’s still going to be the president again, poor guy he just can’t admit defeat. So many deadbeats out there, 70 million or more crying and saying they were ripped off and didn’t lose………..the coming weeks and months will be interesting.
I went for a job interview and then I sent for a medical. I just had to do a drug and alcohol test and I’m thinking this will be a breeze. I haven’t had any booze for weeks and the only drugs I have taken were some panadol last week. I got breathalysed and that came up zero as expected. I then did the drug test which is done by testing a urine sample. It’s bad enough trying to pee on command and then only to fail the test. Apparently the test gave a positive result for Opioids, “really” I said. I was quite surprised and the nurse also looked a bit bewildered. I haven’t taken any prescription drugs apart from two panadol a week ago and I certainly haven’t taken any opioids for a long time.
The doctor came in and asked me twenty questions and I repeated that I haven’t taken any drugs for a long time and cannabis, well that was over 30 years ago. They asked me about my diet and this is where I think the reading is coming from because I have eaten a fair amount of Sesame seed over the last two weeks. The bread I eat has Sesame seeds and I ate a stir fry Teriyaki mix which also has Sesame seeds and so it’s possible that this is why the reading was a false positive. They then had to pack up my sample and send it off to pathology for further testing and I’m sure after that they will see that I ain’t no junkie.
And so that’s it for another week, nothing exciting has been happening apart from the Magpie and Kookaburra having a tête-à-tête first thing in the morning again, this time the Kookaburra won. I blocked someone on Facebook because their Americanisms and religious nonsense was irritating me, better to ignore than to engage me thinks. Getting too long in the tooth to be arsed with folk like that. There is definitely more to life and people need to get out more and think for themselves rather than follow the herd. And that thought will no doubt be the topic of another post when I’m in the mood for a vent.
Oh I just remembered……..I saw many posts on Facebook on November 5th complaining about the fireworks and how the poor dogs were terrified by the noises and I know that to be the case because when I was living at home our dogs were also petrified by the noises and it’s only because they hear it once a year and they have no idea what it is, in the same way there is a thunderstorm they too will cower under the table or they may coorie in to you. Complain to God if you can find him………..
So many people wanting the fireworks banned, what’s the world coming to, can’t the humans have a little bit of fun anymore………..it’s one day a year and yes I do know that some arseholes will take liberties and play with fireworks for a whole week, I was one of those arseholes when I was younger. But it’s a bit of fun, freedom, a learning curve where you realise that if you hold on to the firework too long it may burn you or blow your hand off………it’s a rite of passage. In this day and age where almost every bit of normality that I knew as a kid has gone I think that we just have to coorie up to our four legged friends and distract them as much as possible and let the eegits let their hair down until such time that we forget all about Guy Fawkes, which I hope we never do unless OH&S wins. The UK has a long history and many commemorations, I don’t like them all but that’s just our history……personally speaking I would ban Christmas, it’s just a fucking nuisance, more so than November the 5th, although having the day as a holiday is OK I guess.
