Word of the day... brokefishing

[@Codetapper]

What an absolute wreck, and has such high demands like insisting on a 1.5 hour nap. Words fail me.

[@dreamkatcha]

And anyway, that after lunch slump has nothing to do with mental health limitations, she's simply eating too many junk carbs in one meal and experiencing blood sugar swings. She says elsewhere she's eating one massive meal a day to control her bulimia. Sounds like a great plan! By 'bulimia' she probably means she's often overcome by greed and has no self-control. As always, it's got to be rubber-stamped with amateur DSM analysis.

@@dreamkatcha A bottle of wine or two at lunch would have the same effect.

[@dreamkatcha]

Oh, I'd forgotten about that period. In the past now hopefully.

[@marcgoesblindgaming2076]

Don't see the problem who doesn't take a nap at their desk, My boss woke woke me up the other day and said what are you doing, I replied check my contract It says a 2 hour nap everyday non-negotiable 😂😂😂 Is she going to the Fringe to perform music Oh comedy? Because she's pretty funny, What a joker 😂😂😂

[@dreamkatcha]

Her everyday performance definitely works as a comedy sketch character so she could just present that. Let people guess if it's real or not.

[@lestat1uk]

What can I say? Really? Words fail me. From the broke fishing fundraiser to the nap in the afternoon (non negotiable). It almost seems like she is doing this deliberately to stop herself from getting work. 🤦

[@dreamkatcha]

Exactly. Sheer stupidity or a deliberate effort to scupper her chances given she's spouting all this in a public arena, projecting the image of a nightmare employee. Nevermind, it's far easier to be a mollycoddled Peter Pan so may as well fall backwards into that safety net.

[@lestat1uk]

@@dreamkatcha okay let's say for argument sake the afternoon nap is a must. She can still work night shifts? If she really wanted to work there are no excuses. We have all done crap jobs to get by, so this whole mentality of having a fundraiser or people donating to her just seems alien to me. I know single mums that will do a few shifts in a pub to help top up their money just to give their kids a good life. I don't understand why Sarah/Louis doesn't try that? (She cannot use anxiety as an excuse as she can perform In front of people so pub work she be easy)

[@dreamkatcha]

A double-dip fundraiser at that. With Fringe already paid for, the next round must be to cover the cost of holiday gifts and postcards for the rats. Re: working hours, assuming the critical nap was a medical condition symptom, she could switch to the Spanish siesta scenario, extending the day by inserting downtime in the middle whilst working the same total number of hours.

[@lestat1uk]

@@dreamkatcha that is very true, a lot of bosses(in an office environment)are quite flexible with their hours so long as the work is done. But by saying about the afternoon siesta I am guessing this will stop from doing say factory work, shelf stacking that sort of thing as the hours are pretty much set.

[@dreamkatcha]

Yes, office work hours are far more flexible in my experience. Give and take goes a long way with bosses. What's weird about the Spanish approach is that it also applies to office workers where they operate in an air-conditioned environment. I believe it would have started with e.g. fruit pickers working in the baking afternoon sun.

[@chumpyman]

when is she at the Edinburgh fringe again?

[@dreamkatcha]

It's happening in August unless she sleeps through her alarm. Then it will be Apple's fault. ;)

[@chumpyman]

@@dreamkatcha I couldn't find any details for it online. date, time or venue. maybe I'm not looking hard enough. if I know I might go and see it and record it for others to watch

[@dreamkatcha]

Here are the relevant details.... freefringe.org.uk/shows/manboy/ She did say she might stream it on nights when/if no-one turns up.

[@chumpyman]

@@dreamkatcha Jesus, the things free.....

[@dreamkatcha]

Yep, this is very much the bargain basement sideshow where performers pay for their spot at a lesser venue with a view to gaining exposure. Ironically, if she did a streamed gig from her own bedroom, the attendance would be far higher, without any of the expenses. Maybe there's still some kudos in earning the right to say you secured a spot at the Fringe, even if it's the freebie spin-off edition.
