new (work related) interest: personality disorders

found this recent discussion

after a very brief and basic search - found these links for anyone interested:

• mentalhelp
• uni of illinois
• attachment theory website

anyone else have good websites/resources?

it seems i am always whinging about work in some form, so here is my ‘glass is half full’ entry.

things i like about work:

• my clients

• my colleagues

• autonomy

• not being stuck at a desk all day

• working in mental health

• constantly learning

• doctors who (mostly) trust case managers

• excellent supervision

• fantastic OT dept

• being permanent

 there should be more…

i’ve decided that anyone, who’s house is always neat and clean and organised, everytime i visit has an anxiety disorder of some sort. the monster of clothes and papers and folders and letters and dust that lives on my floor is actually an indication of how healthy i am.

i am loving my new dress!

new (new) obsession: david tennant

handy find: leave in conditioner

looking forward to: holidays

cant believe how enthralled i was in this book: the autobiography of malcolm x. i would absolutely recommend it to anyone. i didnt want it to end, yet i couldnt stop reading.

new favourite condiment (?): hoummus/hummus

what are you up to?

love me an inspirational movie

• cars with their indicator on even though they are not turning or changing lanes. switch it off!

ramadaan mubarak!

dian fossey was an OT?

i watched a WHOLE Dr Who episode. is it possible i am learning to appreciate science fiction? i blame the woman at work with the captain kirk ringtone. she is obsessed and very persuasive.

anyway, how could i not watch the episode when i saw it was written by steven moffat.

THE steven moffat.

of press gang fame.

sheesh.

• thank you to the two people who thoughtfully offered to share their umbrellas with me, even though it wasnt raining that badly.
• thank you to the kind petrol station attendant who charged me 10.00 even thought i ran up 10.05. (who ever heard of a petrol station charging less? they are always rounding up.)

both of these made my day.

This was a review in the TV guide for Bride & Prejudice:

“Bend it Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha transplants Pride and Prejudice to India where modern mums are just as hell-bent as those of Regency England on hitching their daughters to young blokes with more prospects than muscle definition. it’s like curry, colourful, hot and spicy but you wouldn’t want to eat it every day.” (Clark Forbes)

It’s set in India, about Indians, so of course you must compare it to ‘curry’.

And why wouldn’t you want to eat curry everyday??

(actually i wouldnt. sometimes i need a break from spices and i craaaaaaaaave bland food - boiled veges, mashed potato…mmmm)

went away for a few days. here are a few things that amused me at the time. (you know when you think they are so hilarious and then you look back and think “ok, that actually wasnt that funny”. i guess you had to be there.

• bon jovi singing “i want to be just as close as, the holy ghost is…” bed of roses
• white socks and jeans.  do it!
• my dorothy shoes
• it just takes a bit of good halal food to make me happy.

currently what is amusing me is Jonas Armstrong in Robin Hood. hilarious.
