"What Makes 'Tish Tick!"

Well, here I am rambling on about myself, what makes me tick, and what makes me really mad. Feel free to pull up a bean bag and listen if you like...... at very least, it will cure your insomnia!

I am Morticia (obviously not my real name, no parent could be that cruel! even to me!), and I am a Psychiatric Nurse. A job which (depending on what day you catch me) I love and hate. Love the job, hate the red tape, burocracy and politics.......which makes life a bit of a bind at times. Still, I have my health, and my wonderful CR, with whom I live, and I am looking into getting a formal HTML and computing qualification so i can eventually get out of nursing.

CR is ChristopherRobin (again not his real name, but his VPS name). He makes me giggle, keeps me sane, and listens to my near constant ranting about how I am going to go back to Uni and get a computing qualification of some sort, or leave my job and go somewhere where I actually like my colleagues. Oh the poor old soul! One day soon, I will actually act on it, and CR will probably die of shock!
(Whhheeeee i did it! Changed jobs Aug 2000. Colleagues great on the whole)

In my spare time, I can usually be found hanging out on The Bridge and surfing around the net for interesting tibbits of information for my job (few and far between) and for things to make me giggle. I bought my computer when I graduated from Uni in 1998 and drove my house mates mad for a couple of years before I moved in with CR, by tying up the phone line for hours on end! Lucky for me, CR is as addicted to the internet as I am so there is no arguement!! I do a lot of sleeping, and shopping in my spare time, and keep tropical fish, which can be an expensive and time consuming occupation! Not to mention frustrating. I'm in the process of cycling a new tank at the moment, and after years of having NO problems whatsoever with water quality in a 3' tank, I am now having nightmares with a 1.5' tank. You can find information and pictures of my fishes and general information about fishes from the home page of my site.

Winnie-the-Pooh is one of my passions, as you may have guessed by now.

I'd love to join a Gym, but my Bum won't let me, it enjoys going numb on my computer chair, and my erratic shift work doesn't allow any form of regularly attended past time, though I did go out and buy a squash raquet a while back and used it all of about twice (*mental note - must play again one day*). I would love to indulge my long time passion for singing, by joining an operatic or drama/choral society, but sadly not. Maybe, one fine day when I have a regular 9-5 job, I will do it. Until then, I am doomed to wailing along to my vast collection of musicals at home.

Here's me!!

As for what makes me really mad? Stupid people. Nothing worse. Stupid folk who ask stupid questions and do stupid things. Not born with a shred of common sense, and exhibiting it daily. The type of person who asks you whether you are doing some washing when you are sitting in the launderette.... "Nope! my TV is broken. Just though i'd come and see if I could pick Eastenders up on one of the dryers".... That person who manages to cut themselves on the Very Sharp Knife for the3rd time and still sound surprised that they did.... Anyway, if you want to read about more stupidity ('cos lets face it, the stupid make great entertainment) go to The Darwin Awards. A great place where the stupidest of stupid acts are honoured and recorded for posterity.

OK, I can see that you are all nearly asleep, so I shan't bore you any longer. This site will be updated regularly, so come back soon, if you can stand the excitement! I will see you on the bridge soon, no doubt, but until then, be good. And if you can't be good......I want to hear all about it when I see you!! Tee Hee
