My Blog

Am I just paranoid? Opinions please!

It is hard to know when one is being over-sensitive, as so often when a complaint is made it is rebuffed by 'stop living on the memory of the holocaust and crying victim' type crap, and I do try not t...

Cool new people, smug at work and family outing.
