I'm alive...just
Hai there. -flexes fingers-
I've abandoned my LJ for so long. I've sort of half-heartedly made a resolution to update it more, but as we are 11 days into January and I've only just gotten around to it, it's unlikely that will happen. But my intentions are honourable. Now...how do you use html again?
Well last year was quite honestly mad. I spent the first five months dossing around and skiving, before finally plucking up the courage to sign on the dole. After a few lazy and half-arsed attempts to pretend to the DWP that I was actively seeking work I plucked a vacancy out of the air and applied. It wasn't anything particularly exciting, and it was outside London, but it sounded like something I could do. I was invited to aptitude tests, and passing these, got invited back for an interview. Didn't hear back for a while afterwards so I assumed I didn't get it. Wasn't bothered, carried on my lame jobseeking.
I got a phone call out of the blue, apologising for not getting back to me sooner as the person handling the hiring was sick. She told me I didn't get the job, but they were very impressed with me, and would I be interested in a job that they would make up for me, sorting out my roles and duties as I go along. I did, and despite it being office work, I'm happy there. My colleagues are lovely, and I feel really lucky to be here.
So that's one positive, I've been there for nearly 8 months now. Longest job ever. Negatives of last year, somewhere I lost all of my friends. Well, I only had two, but still, they have grown tired of me. And I've been down in the rotten dumps because of it. But now, and this worries me, I'm becoming numb to it, and it's ok, because I feel that if I was in their shoes, I would probably grow tired of me too. But it's that feeling of: 'Who do I turn to?' There are somethings you don't want to do with your family.
So, erm. No boyfriends. No friends. But employed. Isn't that lovely?
Finish on a song and dance.
