So the worst part about working nights is the isolation, and for somebody who already suffered from a crippling sense of loneliness, this is not good. I’m asleep when Things Happen, so I don’t get to be a part of it. I catch up on it all once it has already happened. Then when I’m awake, nobody else is. Except the odd few people from the West Coast ( Read more... )

So, the new job is going well. What I’m enjoying most is the exposure to news. It’s a fairly narrow field that I am reading lots about - banking, pensions and buy-to-let predominantly - but it’s interesting stuff. Let’s be honest, I’m a massive nerd, I love learning ( Read more... )

There was going to be a post here about disappointment and such, but I'm so exhausted that I'm not even going to write it. I'm so tired of things being shit.

So I was driving home a few days ago, and I couldn't see any of the road signs. It was weird. Everything was blurry, like I'd just woken up. I couldn't focus. Then I got "Blurry" by Puddle Of Mudd stuck in my head. It's still there by the way. I keep having flashbacks to 2002-ish when every Spuffy fanvid was made to that damned song.

As you may know I baked a cake this week as a birthday present for a friend. I took the cake with me to his birthday gathering (ON THE BUS! That was a nervous journey. Reason 873 to get a car - transporting cakes will be less terrifying.) and I'm pretty sure he liked it. Although, supposedly he still hasn't cut it up yet because it's too nice to ( Read more... )

I've been sort of wanting to post about random crap in my life for a week or two, but as I've been following the news coming out of Iran, every post I've wanted to make made me feel like I was complaining about nothing and I should shut up about my stuff. Thing is, I can't really live like that - things will always be worse for someone else out ( Read more... )

So I got neither of the jobs I was interviewed for two weeks ago. I received a couple of "no thanks" emails today too ( Read more... )
