fluffymarkFirstly - Thank you Thank you Thank you all for the host of useful replies to my job hunting queries. I've been organized and even applied for 5 jobs today. And millions of hugs to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evil_nick for not only offering hints about how to polish my CV, but even going beyond the call of duty in attempting to find me a job at Panasonic. I'll get the new-shiny-CV back to you soon Nick, and you can pimp me at them. Yaaaaaay. *hugseveryone*
Now, I need hints in how to get rid of Jehovah's witnesses. They knocked on our door this morning, and one of them saw me and instantly started quoting passages about evil from Job (don't know what they were trying to tell me?). The other one was far more scary - he just smiled and said
`Hello Mark - are you still at Queen Mary College?'
Aaaaaaaarrgh!!!! One of the Jehovah's witnesses knows who I am. *hides*
You have no idea how scared I was. It transpired that he was on the Java course I taught last year. While the conversation had been turned away from sin and evil and instead focussed on computer programming (I'm sure I must be the first to discuss computer programming with Jehovah's witnesses), the downside was I felt I couldn't be rude and just shut the door on them. And because I talked to them and they know me, they now think I like them, and want to come back. Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Fortunately I'm moving in a months time, but what if they come back before then? What do I do???? Help!!! *hidesinalittleballincorner*
Men's clothing sizes are silly. As in, they tell me I'm not a man. I need to buy a suit, so today I go into a suit shop. They ask me what size.
Eeep!
`ummmmmmm...I've no idea' comes my small mouselike reply. *hides*
You see, I don't usually buy men's clothes. I know what size I am for women's clothing, but men's clothing defeats me. And theres a good reason for this. Men's clothes aren't designed in my shape and size. After trying on a couple of suits at the far extreme far end of the rail, it was determined there was nothing in the whole shop that would fit me. I was highly amused by this whole revelation. *giggles*. They found they could eventually order one for me in my size, and now I'm going to have to wait a week. And it's only going to get worse - I'm losing weight again. Someone send me chocolate. Please! *flutterseyelashes*

Date: 2003-09-04 11:35 pm (UTC)As for the weight loss - damn it go to a doctor. It could be something serious and you need to get it checked out. Even if it ISN'T serious you need to get a doctor to help you with a diet to help you PUT ON weight. Its getting silly when you weigh less than me and I am only just in the boundaries for "healthy weight".

Date: 2003-09-05 01:03 am (UTC)However more seriously you *should* go see a doctor if you are losing weight and there is not obvious reason for it, ie you are still eating sensible amounts of food, not suddenly dong lots and lots of exercise or something. If you're not careful you'll disappear in a puff of smoke.
You know the easy answer...
Date: 2003-09-05 01:25 am (UTC)1/ eat more cirki
2/ go visit my mum for dinner
I rest my case :)
Seriously though, perhaps you should see a doctor about it. After all, you do eat normally(ish) and certainly shouldn't be losing weight so quickly.
Meeples.

Date: 2003-09-05 03:18 am (UTC)Had dream about men in dresses last night. Beginning to wonder if this is your subtle psychological influence, since haven't seen a man in a dress apart from you for rather too long. :)

Date: 2003-09-05 04:50 am (UTC)On the Jehovah front, we could:
a) shout "stone him" whenever they say the J-word
b) say we're catholic (my mum swears by this)
c) leave some of my commie stuff about by the door (I have a lovely poster of Lenin)

Date: 2003-09-05 08:02 am (UTC)I don't think I weight less than you - you weight less than me, and if you're wanting me to see a doctor, you should certainly see one! *smallhug*

Date: 2003-09-05 08:08 am (UTC)I eat protein! Milk is one of my favourite drinks, and i have a healthy dose of it ever morning (full fat milk too) and most evenings. Yesterday I had fish for dinner, which is also high protein. It almost certainly is a thyroid problem, as I believe my dad had a dodgy thyroid, and it's inherited.
Not going to complain about eating lots of milk chocolate. Yummy. :)

Date: 2003-09-05 08:12 am (UTC)Yes, it's worrying. I've told myself i'll go and see a doctor if i fall below 50 kilos, but it'snot that bad yet. Or when I move, i'll finally register with a doctor and get them to give me a checkup. Technically i've not even been registerewd with a GP for the past 3 years, the ones in this area of london really don't appeal. In any case, it takes 3 weeks (at least) to register me, and i'm moving in a month, so it all seems a bit pointless. :/

Date: 2003-09-05 08:23 am (UTC)They're very clever about the J-word - i've never heard a Jewhova mention the J-word. They rarely even mention the G-word, just mumble on about the evils of greed and society (you'd think they were commies themselves from half of what they say). Wonder what would happen if you stuck a large poster of Lenin on our front door! *giggle*

Date: 2003-09-05 08:29 am (UTC)I think I know what's causing the weight problem - i'll see a doctor after i move, as soon as i get around to actually registering with one.
