I've had the odd time when the chemist has told me to take medication in a dose that is different to what my GP has given me. I just ignore it and do what my doctor says. After all, he's that one that knows me.<BR/><BR/>And the librarian should be careful. It's none of her business what time you put your chldren to bed. As you say, she knows nothing about the background of this.<BR/><BR/>I can become really cheesed off on other people's behalf when I hear of things like that. However, if it happens to me, I'm usually so taken aback at their cheek, I don't say anything. Just stand there and gape, gobsmacked at the enormity of it.<BR/><BR/>I hope that writing about it has helped Jelly, but yes, I think you should make a quiet phone call or two.<BR/><BR/>I hope all is well in your world.<BR/><BR/>HugsPuss-in-Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313418336654760327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-5207881232945214832008-06-15T12:27:00.000+10:002008-06-15T12:27:00.000+10:00I feel like I'm always cranking out at someone, I'...I feel like I'm always cranking out at someone, I'm not the type to hold back. You, however, certainly have my sympathy. More than one of my girls has struggled with some insomnia also and it is worrying, furthermore having been an elementary teacher I can tell you it is none of anyone's business what time they send their child to bed.<BR/><BR/>MimiMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392227354915754519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-49079509848957452342008-06-12T15:58:00.000+10:002008-06-12T15:58:00.000+10:00Yes, Jelly, have your little 'talk' to both of the...Yes, Jelly, have your little 'talk' to both of these people who have thoughlessly, and in one case, possibly dangerously, undermined your position.....<BR/><BR/>BUT...<BR/><BR/>don't forget to tell us what they have to say for themselves....(I'm all for a bit of gossip...LOL)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-39753318748840627102008-06-10T02:02:00.000+10:002008-06-10T02:02:00.000+10:00Well said, Jelly!

I hope you do follow up the chemist, but I suppose there's not much you can do about the librarian! I once complained at our crèche because a relief carer had told my 3-year-old child that the apple puree he was having for lunch was "baby food". At that stage, it was the ONLY FRUIT I COULD GET HIM TO EAT and she thoughtlessly nearly sabotaged that for me.

I always feel pharmacists must feel like glorified cosmetics dispensers 99% of the time, perhaps he/she was trying to flex their pharmacological muscles in between the complaints about the digital photo booth and the bagging up of Nads leg-wax.<BR/>That said, it was very very irresponsible. (not to mention inapporiate)<BR/><BR/> The teacher? I would cheerfully wring the necks of most of the staff at my son's school. And he is still wandering about sometimes at 10pm, which of course totally dements me. I tell him not to worry i he can't sleep, as long as he is lying still and resting. He usually falls asleep then.<BR/>The excercise factor is so crucial, but with a broken arm and broken toe, swimming and soccer are not much of an option....<BR/>good luck!fifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946945635726214503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-76028162396353179292008-06-06T09:40:00.000+10:002008-06-06T09:40:00.000+10:00You need to take a leaf out of Laura's book.Ring '...You need to take a leaf out of Laura's book.<BR/>Ring 'em up and say "Rack off, moron".<BR/>Then hang up!<BR/>(It will make you feel better!)freefallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863000229609701796noreply@blogger.com
