This made me laugh out loud on numerous occasions...you have really been paying attention.

Hamish, I'm still trying to decide if this is a comedy or a tragedy. I suppose I'll have to wait until the next appointment. Your story, which I'm sure is complete fiction, does remind me of why I stopped working. Some of the characters are familiar (FB is very promiscuous); I had PS (Public Service) as a character in my story (2 of them).

Skip the therapy and get outside. If a holiday is elusive, red wine, beer &/or spirits is a common treatment for Australians involved with FB, best taken with company.

Cheers

Mike W.

Thanks Mike!

I'm in the fortunate position of having plenty of solutions to overwork right at my fingertips - I just need to remember to use them...

Thank you, entertaining and disturbing in equal parts!

And yes, I'm starting to see the magnitude of the problem. You know, therapy's all very well, but ... sometimes meds are indicated (and for last resort the insane asylums, sorry mental health facilities, some are pretty good these days). (But check before admission, try for one that has heating).

ps I had to look up all those characters :)

Thanks. Looks like so far my readers are not a fan of therapy. We'll see if anyone else chimes in :)

Good shows by the way, worth a look if you have a few hours to kill.
