Yikes. It's a really dumb idea, I think. The idea is usually that the Christmas party/meal/whatever is rewarding staff for working hard all year. My idea of a reward is not a morning show of a movie I will dislike surrounded by other peoples' screaming kids. That's kind of my idea of torture. Even the people with kids of the right age here are rather unimpressed by the idea - they want to get away from the kids for an evening! I haven’t met the movie that I can stomach Jim Carey in.

Kind of like the year I left my sign shop job when they decided instead of a big party and having fun they would pay for us all to go on the Harbour Hopper. NO ONE's idea of a good time, really. Unless you're a tourist. And yeah-I can stomach Jim Carey depending on the movie, but that one just looks retarded. I think that is just a dumb idea overall.

The big problem is that renting the cinema will be so expensive that the only way to do it is to use the entire IT department Christmas budget. That's not making me any happier about all of this because I know that a lot of people won't go just because of what it is and the time. Even the folks with kids aren't happy - I think they were looking forward to a night out without the kids! Our knitting party may be my only Christmas party of the season!

If no one on your team is going, then it doesn't make sense at all for your team's budget to be paying for it. At any rate, our knitting party will completely rock. That’s terrible.

I am 34 and am in chronic pain. This was gradual. I have had problems all my life that now I can say "oh, it is because of this". I am on dicloflenac and tizanidine. It helps. But it isn't everything. I am still in a lot of pain and unable to work. Everyday is a surprise. I never know when I will wake up in pain and unable to leave the house. My PT says that the pain isn't indicative of damage and if I can re-train my brain to better organize the pain messages then I could be better. It's hard when you have wobble because the pain is so intense in your ankles and feet and they feel like you are really doing damage. I am doing whole body vibration therapy. It is my new work-out. I am able to keep my muscle tone and stay fit. This is the only way. I can't really go to the gym anymore. I live in NYC and do have a good Dr. that knew right away what was wrong with me. That was a relief. It took me a year to find him tough!! I too have been suffering hyper-mobility syndrome. I am 34 and am in chronic pain. This was gradual.

I would like to thank you for publishing this blog, as most of what you suffer mirrors my life, and helps me to understand that i am not a wimp, or weak, THERE IS A REASON I ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME! as my Husband keeps pointing out.

It's so hard sometimes to get people to understand the difference between "I can't" and "I don't want to". And even the difference between "I can't today, but next week may be different". I hope that my blog continues to be informative. I've heard great things about Prof Bird. Thank you!

How easy is it to pick up or do I need to watch some of the previous episodes to really get it? That’s the big suggestion that everyone has had for me and I’m thinking that I’ll have to give it a go.
