Currently dealing with… Update 4

Currently dealing with… Part 2
Hey Peoples, me again. I’m tired, cranky and in need of some kind of magical intervention in my life right now. If it can go wrong, it is doing and with alarming regularity.

Seconds away… Round 2.
How many people did I manage to piss off royally with my previous post! Wow! Many apparently. So, I have received emails from a good number of people complaining about my attitude towards ‘key’ workers. Namely, assistant district nurses, assistant pharmacists and childish doctor’s receptionists. Now, ask me if I give a right royal fuckContinue reading “Seconds away… Round 2.”
Wow!
Gemma’s World is exploding! (and not in a good way) 😡🤯 So, the last time I was able to sit down and actually write something useful, was roughly this time last week I think. Since then, a whole shitstorm of stupidity, incompetence and arrogant fuckwittery has landed in my world and I really would likeContinue reading “Wow!”
A Side Step into Gem’s World
Hello my lovely WP friends, peeps, readers and voyeuristic visitors from Twitter land! (Don’t worry, I love that you give ghostly visits, the only clue being the visit counter went up!)

Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water… this happened. As a few of you will be aware, I’ve been missing in action for a good while now. My life has a habit of blowing up in my face when I least expect it to. Either I have been illContinue reading “A Narcissist Came Back…”
