Imponderables: Work Abolition by nvghostrider

Hmm I think you'd have to taste it sweety. Doesn't really taste or have the texture of what Americans consider fudge. It's grainier and has a more defined strata of flavour.It's really nothing like US fudge:)

OK I really had not realized how decaffeinated I had become. I ordered a small real hot chocolate ( made with cocoa, milk , etc) it's only got 15 mg of caffeine in it and I am jumpy as a hamster on no doz... argh

LOL... yes digestive biscuits ( with chocolate)

Sadly for me caffeine isn't ok even in small quantities... just that little bit meant I spent yesterday throwing up over and over for hours, then I ate something and it stayed down, but I had stomach cramps and was generally ill for many hours.... thing is I quit caffeine over 10 years ago and my system just can't take even a little tiny bit...well obviously

Morning all... oooh there's a ponder. What one thing makes you feel icky sick if you even have a little bit??

I've never gotten the whole caffeine thing. I mean I don't drink coffee or energy drinks, but I drink pop a bunch. I've never felt wired from it. Nor have a felt like I'm missing something when I don't drink it (I've given pop up for Lent a few times). I think I'm immune. That's my theory at least.

Can't think of a food off hand that makes me feel all icky if I eat even a little. I'm a picky eater though. So, I keep my diet set to foods that don't make me feel icky and I don't stray from from the list.

Okay, so I'm in a bit of a better mood today. Hating on people who do things then bitch that they had to do them later and make me feel like I'm not doing enough.

My boss does this. She is so far involved with other programs, obligations that are not hers, and personal events that she neglects the here and now.

We are suffering her because she has to have the perfect house and the perfect wedding. Sorry if she makes it harder for herself but we have our own shit to worry about. Plus we are supposed to be updating policy and rules for the facility and it isn't getting done. It wouldn't matter as much but this is interfering with a list of directives she gave me. It'll end up being my fault that those things aren't done even though as the Facility Manager she is supposed to change those things with me and the Case Manager.

So, taking it upon myself I will re-write our policy and procedure manual, re-write all of the rules, consequences and objectives for the clients, and finish the fucking level system she wants implemented that she was so keen on having input on.

All to appease her need to look good for everyone.

That, and, you know, to keep my job.

The way I think of it seems to agree. If I'm happy eating the food I like then I should just stick to eating that (assuming it's not totally unhealthy of course). Sure there might be a food I like more out there somewhere, but if I don't know about it then what's the harm. As far as I know I'm eating the best thing out there. Based on the small sampling of food I've tried the odds seem to be that new foods have a low percentage chance that I will like them. Therefore searching for better tasting foods will result in me eating a higher percentage of food I don't like in my lifetime than if I just eat the food I already know that I like.

The things I really really really don't understand is the foods that are "acquired tastes". You're telling me that my initial reaction is "yuck!" but if I just keep at it I can train myself to like it? When does that get fun? I also tend to think our tastebuds work the way they do for a reason. They seem to know that spoiled food is bad. Therefore I'm going to trust that when they tell me something tastes bad that they know what they're talking about. Can't necessarily trust them on the good side of things though. Mad scientists have learned what gets the "yum" reaction and throw it into food by the boat load just to get us addicted. Jerks!

well I do know that some foods/ tases that I disliked when I was younger Inow like a lot
( mustard on sandwiches for example) so your tastes do change and a lot of people have an initial yuck response to unfamiliar foods so trying something more than once can be good because you never know if you might really like something once you got past your first response to the unfamiliar:)

I'd come right out and tell them that it is too loud, joke semi-seriously that the younger generation is supposed to be the ones playing everything too loud, so if you think their tv is too loud it has to be rather excessive. From there, lead into the talk about getting tested.

If they still aren't convinced, explain your concerns that it could be ruining your hearing. If all else fails, invest in earplugs.

Well, if that's the way that you word it, you'll probably not get a response. Try stepping out of the parent/child roles and really sit down and have a serious conversation with them. If possible, have the conversation at a time when they aren't watching the television. Don't make it an argument, keep everything calm and rational. The last thing you want is your parents thinking that you are acting like a petulant child.

they dont know how to have a serious conversation with me. when i try calmly expressing any concern at all they twist their rationalization the opposite way and tell me i'm wrong and it's not an issue; or they tell me i'm overreacting. it's like we're not even on the same page. it's just frustrating trying to talk to them when i know they're not going to listen to me ><;; at least that's how i feel. if i told them that they'd probably tell me 'we *doooo* listen to you, it's just that--i dont know where you're getting these ideas, when have we ever not listened to you or understood you?'
they listen to my brother more than they listen to me, and granted, he's older, but holy shit i'm not grown up? i joined the military at seventeen and went away and didn't (couldn't) rely on them at all, they tell me they're proud but clearly don't consider me grown up still? i know the military isn't a justification for that but can they give me some freaking credit? my brother considers me more grown up than they do, which is kind of a switch considering older siblings generally always think of their younger siblings as always being the little bratty kid that they can't ever see growing up.
