Boring Conference

Had to go to a Service Day today. It did not start well as the first speakers were Psychologists and did not introduce themselves, set up a badly prepared presentation and went on half an hour over their alloted time. They showed us a whole episode of the Simpsons and then sat around discussing the family dynamics and whether Marg was neglectful in allowing Bart to play on the washing line!! The whole thing felt deeply patronising and I was not the only one in the audience to feel angry and depressed at the same time by them.

It doesn't help that we still do not know if we will continue to be a service or not and poor Christine is totally exhausted by the whole thing and very close to breaking point. She is emotional and tearful and we can all understand why.

The speaker this afternoon was more interesting although the subject was heavy, Serious cases but at least it made the day more worth while.

Got a surprise text last night from Robo asking if I could get out at short notice to which I replied no ...but it got me thinking how easily my little house of cards could come crashing down. On the other hand I really should let Robo know the state of play. We've only chatted as friends and it was Christmas when we kissed and since then nothing, not even the suggestion so he shouldn't be too surprised in fact he should be surprised if he thought I had waited so long.

I'm supposed to be seeing Rob tonight and am not sure if I am looking forward to it or not. Its a week since I last saw him and to be honest I remember feeling bored so I guess if I still feel bored tonight it really will be time to call it a day.

As for Mr V...nothing today.
