Work has broken me. <br /><br />Mimsie; I tried Panadol Osteo and it's useless. It's a slow release formula, supposed to work over several hours, but it doesn't. I was taking the chemist brand of panadol with codeine, supposed to be two tablets every four to six hours, but I was taking four at a time every three hours all day, every day. That's way too much codeine. Sometimes I would be taking prescription strength instead, that's even more codeine. It has to stop before I get sick. <br />Yes, the quote is Jack Reacher, from "The Affair".Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-84823014808666113852013-03-01T21:47:50.886+10:302013-03-01T21:47:50.886+10:30Fantastic news....Enjoy!!

It took me years to get used to not working but I've finally got the hang of it and sleeping in is fantastic. I even find sharp turns etc in a car are pretty bad so doubt I'd be much good on a bus. Phil had to catch one recently and even he had trouble and didn't feel comfortable.<br />That quote: It sounds very much like something Jack Reacher would have said. Am I correct there?<br />P.S. I feel very much like writing to the people that make Panadol Osteo who now advertise if your arthritis is bad you can get back to playing 18 holes of golf again if you take Panadol Osteo. I've been taking them for years and find they don't even do much for the tiny aches and pains. To me it is false advertising of the worst kind. I have problems at times just walking to the letter box and back!!!!Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-41728014696813801292013-03-01T20:36:50.559+10:302013-03-01T20:36:50.559+10:30Im so jealous of you River, half your luck.

A few weeks of complete relaxation to help the inflammations and aching muscles etc to calm down. <br /><br />Joanne Noragon; don't worry, you can't get rid of me easily. <br /><br />R.H. it is physically relentless, but not at all hard on the mind, in fact it's quite boring. Most of my customers have been super nice, but just last Wednesday one who is known to most of us was so rude to a friend she had to go upstairs until she could stop crying. <br />I haven't completely decided about going back but there's a better than good chance I won't.

On building sites you get plenty of time just loafing around but checkout work is relentless. It's hard on your mind, it's hard on your body, and it's lowly-paid. On top of that you have to be nice to people and some of them are pigs. I've witnessed the rudeness checkout girls cop at times and it gets me furious, it's as though they're legit targets for anyone to dump their anger on. <br />Don't go back, you might miss the lunchtime chats etc, but if you can get by without the piddling wages don't go back there.
