The Last Good Day Of The Year
Well, hopefully not, but it is my last day in this office.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a bit sad. I have to remember why I'm leaving though. Those reasons outweigh any reasons for staying. I feel a bit scared. Starting a new job....... Less income. New people. Getting use to a new office. It feels quite daunting. It just gets harder as I get older.
David is not doing well at this stage. He has finally accepted that he is doing far too much at work. For months now I've been telling him to rethink his commitments. He has to cut back. He can't go to the office at 05:00 every morning and work weekends. I know that at the moment it helps him to cope with other things, but it just can't go on like this. On Sunday he started looking at his tasks, his job in general and his diary. He is "restructuring" his diary, which is really good news. Maybe we'll have a bit more time for us soon.
I think I have found my first contender for end of the year Top 10. Not a contender for album of the year, but certainly for Top 10. Earning considerably less from April onwards means I won't be able to buy nearly as many CDs as I used to buy. So I have to be really careful with what I buy. I can't afford to buy mediocre albums (even by some of my fave artists) or anything that is not really worth spending money on. Anyway, I'm pleased to say I have found one album so far this year that I really like. I won't say much about it. You can try and guess what it is if you would like. All I'll say is that it is a female artist, someone I've not been a fan of, and it is the first time I bought one of her albums. It doesn't mean I've never liked her, it just that I've never been too keen on her albums.
And talking about music, last.fm does this now:
