Insomnia - Cheaper than cocaine, and twice as effective :)
Well, it's 4.15am, I'm due in work in a little over four hours, and I'm still awake, with no possibility now of sleeping and still making it into work on time. So what better way to keep myself up than by the continuation of my lj update?! Its productive, and will keep me focused enough that I may not fall asleep at the computer this time... Hopefully!
So, on the topic of my earlier rant about work, I got a call today offering me the job I'd applied for last week. I'm absolutely ecstatic. Admittedly, I'll be starting 15 minutes earlier than my current job, but it's definitely going to be worth it to get out of the call centre. I've found that while I love dealing with customers, it's an awful lot easier to do face to face. People don't have half the courage to verbally abuse you if they have to meet your eye while doing it, as opposed to the courage they seem to muster so often while on the phone. Though in this job, there are no dealings with the public at all. That's going to be a strange experience, but it's always good to broaden one's horizons and the like. Though they have requested that I remove the tongue piercing... Its upsetting, but it can be done again, so I don't mind all that much really. Wow, I've truly stepped into the world of corporate whoredom! Yikes! :)
In other news, after a positively disastrous four month relationship that I don't regret in the slightest, I'm back to playing the field again. It was a great feeling, just having the freedom to go out and enjoy myself without the constant texts and phonecalls checking up on me. Not like I didn't get enough of that from the parents!!! :) Though two months of singledom is starting to grate on my gregarious nature. Its odd not having the emotional support (or lack of) that one normally gets in a relationship. This week has been the hardest so far I think. But it's starting to look up again, and it's not bothering me so much, so it's all good really.
A poly community was finally set up in Dublin, so I've been having a fantastic time with them, making some great new friends, and meeting some rather exceptional people. Once a month, we all get together in this gorgeous gay bar in Dublin city centre and just discuss issues we've come across. Opinions fly, discussions get heated, and its the most fantastic environment to be in, being able to exchange views with people who are, if not like minded, open to new thoughts and ideas at the very least. I really love the group, and have been spending the past week looking forward to next Tuesday's meeting. Particularly seeing as I missed the last one, cos it was set for the day after Paddy's day. I've just realised that I probably posted that in the last entry... If so, I'll cut this paragraph so y'all wont be bored with me rehashing the same themes.
Now, I'm fairly sure there's plenty more news to tell, but off the top of my extremely sleep-deprived head, I can't quite think of any right now. I shall bid you all adieu.
Take care,
