How am I supposed to take it when a woman calls me "Sweetheart"? (It wasn't an older woman this time)

Not anything to take seriously.  I've had women call me Hon, sweetheart and it all just seems a natural part of their persona.  As long as they are not calling me ugly names, I'm good with that.   8)

I'm not sure if I've offended anyone?. Did I appear abrupt about it? I wasn't accusing anyone of anything, I just wondered if they used "bloody hell" in Sweden or not.

You didn't offend me, so no worries.

Funny, though, because I started wondering what Swedes use instead. I don't think there is a good equivalent because the expression is very British, culturally speaking.

I'm sick. I hurt all over and I have IBS symptoms x 100%. I've done a RAT and it's not Covid. But I am wondering how long I'll have this for. Been sick since Friday.

I'll probably pause before using it again now. :P

No phone call today from potential employer.

Fingers crossed.

Thank you. :)

I woke up fine on Tuesday. My mum said I most likely had a stomach flu. First for me, never had it before but am very glad it's over.

I woke up with an unexpected phone call... apparently, there is an opportunity to be a caregiver for someone else in need.

except this guy isn't legally blind... he has Parkinson's and also possibly Dementia.

I've been waiting 5 days for this lady to email through an offer (after our initial phone call with her verbal offer dropped out; thanks Telstra) but she kept saying she'd send it "soon". Was she just stringing me along? Then she texted me earlier and said she sent it maybe sunday or yesterday but hadn't received my response yet. Check spam folder - nothing. Email her first so her address is white listed. Did she make a typo in my email address? Is she just technologically illiterate? Why can't we basically communicate?
This shit is going to carry on till the end of the week. I just want to get the negotiations rolling and give fucking notice at work. Like, yesterday!!

^That must be so frustrating.

When I called an insurance company for work, I gave them my email address so they could send me a certificate of currency that I needed to show my employer. Only they didn't put the dot in my email address. So they sent the certificate into nothingness. I waited and waited for their email which they said would come through straight away. In the end I rang them again, waited another half hour on hold but actually got someone nice who answered (the original person was condescending and sighed when I asked questions as if I were stupid). It was only by chance that she read out my email address and I realised the error. I was exhausted after all the phone interaction.

Now I have my property manager not answering her phone to give us an actual date for the floors to be replaced.

Customers who argue with me about price and/or where product is when their "smart" phones tell them one thing and the store says another.  I thro up my hands, roll my eyes and say, "I have no control over that".  And they keep hammering me on that and I finally say, "Speak to mgmt."  and then they get quiet as I start to get a real mgr.
