I don't know why people have such an issue with me using only positive reinforcement dog training.
People think it makes my dogs "brain-dead" and "robotic."
Um, I'm sorry, but the last time I checked, my dogs still had personalities and plenty of free will. My dogs are not "robots" and they are not behaviorally perfect either.
I could go into all the reasons why negative reinforcement dog training is wrong on all levels and psychologically destructive, but I don't want to engage with these assholes.
Fyi:
The ideal dog is one that is obedient when necessary but still maintains its own personality and ability to think freely and independently of its handler. That's the dog you get with positive reinforcement.
Dogs who have been trained with negative reinforcement are less psychologically and temperamentally sound and are more likely to bite and engage in destructive behaviors. They're also prone to anxiety.
...I'll get off my soapbox now.

Besides the usual crap, not knowing when I can move into my new place. What if it's a whole month longer than planned? I can't see that, but it's a possibility. Everything's a possibility while I don't know what's happening.

Bell's Palsy. Is it contagious? I didn't ask. The doctor was so cute but then he called me 'Maam'. Sigh. So, I never asked if it was contagious.

I've had a muscle spasm in the side of my neck for almost 4 days. [BEEP] this shit.

[Koalafan]

Had a customer snap at me. Do not do well on those situations >_<

Bleh. You have to deal with rotten people sometimes in the service industry.

Why did they snap at you and how did you handle it?

[Antidote]

That sucks Are they assuming you have fibro? Your neck pain has been nonstop

The pain actually went away all of last year and so far this year, but I get flare ups during migraines or when I change my usual posture. This neck flare seems to have coincided with the arrival of my new laptop... took lyrica last night and woke up without a spasm though.

Oh yeah. I've never been diagnosed with fibro but wouldn't be surprised if I have a mild form of it. The full body muscle aches only seem to happen when I'm very sleep deprived (and I read they believe fibro is partly triggered by a deep sleep deficit). If my lifestyle is good - exercise, no sleep deprivation, I feel normal and don't get the hit by a semi-trailer body ache symptoms.

Just the crushed glass feeling on my eyeball.
My time here is coming to an end. Time to move on. at work. Maybe.
I love The Waling Dead and that's just weird
My dog is getting old.
My daughter had her gall bladder out and it's painful to not be able to help her.
Ditto for the other daughter in her recovery.
My brother takes the easy way out every time. It bothers me that I'm judgmental.
I'm tired from my meds.

So here is the scenario.

I have pretty bad "travel anxiety". That is to say, anxiety that involves getting from a-b using public transport and regarding timings. I have previously turned up to a bus stop 40 minutes early and still worried that I've missed the bus. It's not so bad now, but it's bad enough at the moment.

So, lets say I have something 12-1 which I can't really avoid. I need to get a bus at 1:22. now I can possibly get dropped off the bus stop at 1 which would alleviate a lot fo the anxiety. But otherwise, it will be a bit of a squeeze to get from home-busstop if I'm dropped off at home at one.

Bus then gets to train station at 1:40 for a train at 2pm. Now this is whats panicking me. What if the bus is late, or I miss the bus? What if it does not stop at the correct stop (has happened before, bus drivers are arseholes, I was very pissed off that he did this then tried to excuse it, and it ended up with him being given a warning and me an apology and a refund.)

Train gets to destination at 2:30. From there, I need to get somewhere by 2:45.

Or, I could just ignore all this anxiety, and get a frigging taxi, which I can't afford, and would cost me about ?40, rather than the ?10 it would cost me on bus + train.

This is ridiculous.

[JamieWAgain]

OK, wait.
Don't take a taxi.
Are you afraid of being late or getting lost?
