Very, very depressed
Wow, I hadn't realised how long it's been since I posted last. Oh well, I'm still not dead :-) .
As those of you on irc knows I've been applying for a job that would suit me perfectly. I was recommended the job by someone I sit on the same board as. So far all is good, and I've gone through rounds of interviews and everything just seemed great. But then yesterday evening I got a phone call from my friend who was extremely upset. Apparently her boss (and hopefully mine) had learned that we knew each other before and was very upset by it. Accusations of being tricked were thrown out, and the putative boss then ended it with the comment that she had to go and talk to her boss... So it looks as though my dream job is now out the window. Meaning I'm stuck at my present dead end job that I loathe with every fiber of my being, but cannot quit since I like eating and sleeping indoors - and buying hard drives ;-). I've been sitting here looking at what few other jobs are available and getting more and more depressed. At the moment not even retail therapy, eg buying more stuff on the 'net cheers me up. And to top it all off, the sofa I'd already ordered for the balcony will not be available until december, yeah, sorta not the time for outdoor living. So now I have to decide whether to buy another sofa or wait a year for the one I want to become available. All in all not the greatest of days. And I bet tonight the Red Wings will lose too.
