The 'I need a distraction' thread.

[Sketchy]

I have this rocking chair, but the cushion is blue.

[chinahorse]

Or if you're looking at scientific papers, try a review.

[Cacoethes]

Nope.
I'll go to the library tomorrow!
Given up with it tonight.
But I have Tuesday off for a psych appt and still got wednesday free and friday (due date)
And the evenings after college.
So i should be ok!!

[Aubergine]

It's like this one! The stand, I mean. :) The hammock thing and the seat came separately, but I think you can get them together. :)


What are you looking for, Beckie?


What jobs are you looking for, Lillie? If there's anything you're interested in, you could just chuck out a CV and covering letter to everywhere local that do it?

[Aubergine]

Rocking chair looks really cosy, Lorraine!

[chinahorse]

Oh Ive seen them before aubergine- they look amazing.

I am just sort of going for anything rn, I was being a bit more selective and applying for managerial positions but I've heard nothing back :( I would like to get into healthcare management stuff but its damn near impossible or they want stupid things like an NVQ in typing. Which I dont have but have an average of like 50 wpm typing speed so it wont be an issue.

It’s so comfy. I can’t wait to get the foot stool to match it. I’ll go to ikea with my sister in a couple of weeks. She wants to get a few things for her flat too.

[nonperson]

I have returned. And survived the ordeal of Asda.

Doesn't a hammock hanging from a single point kinda just make you all squished up?

[chinahorse]

OOOO I agree Lorraine! Looks nice and comfy :)

[Cacoethes]

Ive given up looking for tonight!
I'll ask the guys at college where they got their info from.

It is hard to find jobs. Especially when you don't drive!
(I don't think you drive Lillie?)

I want a hammock now!
Although knowing me I'd get stuck in it

Well done for surviving nonperson!

[Sketchy]

It is Lillie.

Glad you survived Asda Nonperson. Do you have snow where you are?

[nonperson]

No snow, just lots of rain!

Had a bit of snow this morning but it's all gone now.

[Sketchy]

Rain sucks.

It’s thick with snow here, but I like it.

[chinahorse]

Lol beckie, pretty sure I'd fall out of it myself :-P

Glad it went ok Person.

I can't drive no beckie but I live in the major capital city of my county so you think finding something to apply to or that I want to do wouldnt be too much of an issue.

[Aubergine]

Well done for surviving, Person!


Nope, not all squished up. It has a wooden bar thing that the two sides of the hammock hang from, if that makes sense? So it separates it.


I've looked on the OU library, Beckie. Have you been searching for psychological approaches to particular illnesses? Because that seemes to bring up better results than a general search for the psychological approach to general mental illness.

[Aubergine]

I fell our of it once. Sit in it cross legged a lot, and I got my foot caught and flew across the room with a slice of chocolate cake on a plate in my hand. Saved the cake, smooshed my nose. :'(

[Sketchy]

I applaud you Aubergine for saving your cake. It’s good to prioritise!

[Aubergine]

Well, you know... :P :D


I just submitted my personal development plan TMA00 thing. Haven't tidied my room yet, but that's productive, right?

[Cacoethes]

Thats weird that you can't find anything then Lillie!

I didn't think about using the OU library, i can still access it.
And well done for saving the cake!
You clearly have your priorities right!

Id say that is productive!

[Sketchy]

That’s productive.

I was going to sew myself an apron, but I need to buy thick ribbon for the straps. I think I’ll just make another bag. I might go into town for supplies tomorrow.
