Sure-Fire Cure For PMT?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

OK, I have a job interview at noon today. But I'm suffering from PMT so badly that I feel like tearing the heads off small children and animals. I need to be perky and personable in an hour and a half. HOW?!?!?

beer

Wine.

Deep breathing and industrial quantities of chocolate.

A Mochachillo. An Icecreamy Coffee-y Chocolate-y Ice-y drink. Best One's are bought from NZ icecream but I don't know if you have those where you live

I could not drink beer, it was a JOB INTERVIEW. Chocolate... well, I've got no money. And besides, I'm still trying to banish the extra half stone which settled over my hips over Xmas. I KNEW I should have bought that Valerian Root extract the other day...

How did it go?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 16 January 2003 13:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know yet. It was only the agency checking me out to make sure that I could type and didn't have three heads. They said they'd now send my resume over to the client. Who apparently is right in Clerkenwell. This is so convenient I am convinced I'll never get the job. The pay is a joke but if I could walk to work...

I want chocolate.

Good luck.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 16 January 2003 15:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I hope you get it, kate! (caveat: UNLESS they are cockfarming twunts)

For instance. I almost got the nod to build Blissworld's website. Excited was I, oh yes I was. (Bliss is headquartered in Brooklyn. I live in Brooklyn! No commute!) However it was not to be. They settled for a cheaper, less-experienced person, which from the look of their offices is the solution they hit on for most of their hiring needs.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 16 January 2003 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I realize none of this is helping with the PMT.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 16 January 2003 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you talking about the blissworld spa/thingie? If so, they must have a *huge* margin of profit because all of their stuff is grossly overpriced. I'm not paying $20 for a bar of soap, thankyouverymuch.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 16 January 2003 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

A sex change would be a good way of preventing it. Or pregnancy.

― Alex M, Thursday, 16 January 2003 16:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Have you tried deep knee bends?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 16 January 2003 16:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes I am, Nicole. Their offices are exactly what one would imagine: late-90s translucent walls, concrete floors, occasional pastel splashes. Minimalism on-the-cheap. I waited an hour for my interview and received no apology when the HR woman finally arrived. During that hour however I got to see the guts of the operation: 17 year-olds wearing Diesel jeans shuttling everything back and forth (and probably PAYING to work there)

Anyone who suggests pregnancy as a cure for PMT has clearly never been pregnant. I was almost psychotic while pregnant. Hormones are not fun.

I just want to retire to bed and curl up in a big ball and sob. And bite the head off anyone who gets between me and this.

― kate, Thursday, 16 January 2003 17:31 (twenty-three years ago)

the best cure for pmt is to find someone to yell at really loudly.
you need a person who will yell back a little to keep the momentum going if you conk out at any point and they should also be thick-skinned so they can handle whatever you throw at them.
once its all out, you should feel better. i usually do.
and good luck with the job kate.

Mrs K-R has been pregnant, and still gets the menstrual cramps reaaal bad. Also PMT. Anyone who tells you to get pregnant as a cure for PMT/painful periods = a big fibber.

yep. in fact i am worse now, after pregnancy, than i was before. as for during - O DEAR!

― donna (donna), Thursday, 16 January 2003 19:30 (twenty-three years ago)

i mean hormonal stuff of course, before some smartie comes on to point out you dont get PMT whilst pregnant, strictly speaking.

― donna (donna), Thursday, 16 January 2003 19:32 (twenty-three years ago)

In terms of hormonal mood swings, pregnancy makes PMT look like a broken nail. But we're agreeing, really, Donna...

I have just gone and eaten some chocolate and played really loud punk rock guitar for an hour. It made things somewhat better. People at Non/Sense are advised to avoid pissing me off unless they are bearing chocolate.

Things which are currently pissing me off:
-leaving tea-rings on the counter
-leaving the bathroom light on
-being in the bathroom when I need it
-being within ten feet of me
-looking at me wrong
-BEING ON THE SAME BLOODY INTERNET AS ME!!!!

So everybody needs to give me chocolate right now or I will be taking names and kicking ass.

Tracer Hand is my new best friend!

Survived Non/Sense cause Ambrose brought chocolate brownies. And Ambrose's brother told me some very interesting things about drum'n'bass and where it comes from, which made it finally all make sense.

A fine time was had.

― kate, Friday, 17 January 2003 01:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Tricky.

Tracer, what is THAT? Meaning that last disaster of a picture.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 17 January 2003 02:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I found it by looking for "pms and chocolate" I think. I wish you could do a reverse Google where you give it a picture and it tells you, like, what the hell it's for.
