Halfway mark
It's August 21st.
Exactly three months since I've see Alexander and exactly three til I see him again.
It's the equivalent of Wednesday 'hump day' I guess.
From now on it's closer til I see him than since I've seen him.
I guess that's something to be happy about.
Been a bit miserable lately, was in a filthy feral mood yesterday at work and finally snapped and screamed at my colleague and called her a bigot. She is a bigot. I shouldn't have to fucking put up with it at work.
Had a yarn to Sue and Lou yesterday about it. If anyone would know about racism it's those two!
Feeling better today - cleaned my desk which quite miraculously improved my disposition and also I got serious about budgeting. I created an itemised Excel spreadsheet of fixed expenses, predicted expenses, mutable expenses and calculated an average amount of disposable income to stick to throughout the week, indexed to reflect inflation and one-off expenses. I'm serious. I've been working in the accounts department for too long.
That's also made me feel better about my life and like I'm not just killing time til Alex gets back and I stop having to do everything on my own (expense wise, anyway. I can see why marriage and capitalism go hand in hand!)
I'm thinking of becoming a youth worker.
And I think I've started a weekly thing at the Duke on Tuesdays - Trivia! We came second this week - we won on points but lost the bonus question which was Harry Potter related, which made me miss Alex even more! Anyway, do come along, it's a blast.
In other news I'm going to be on ABC2 on a HackTV segment about pornography. I hope none of my relatives end up seeing it by accident. Fingers crossed.
That's all I'll write for today. This rant is probably as erratic and non-sequiterish as I feel. And anyway, Bree's coming over for our Thursday-night-blah-nights.
