Grumpy Day
I'm feeling hard done by and left out.
This is the second long weekend in a row and I've had to work every day both weekends! (Okay, I exaggerate, I got last Monday off ...)
My sister (who has a 'real' 9-5 job) came down from Auckland both weekends. Last Sunday (or was it Saturday?) she and Dad were just sitting on the deck wondering what to do. They had so much time on their hands and they were bored, couldn't think of anything to do with it.
Grrrr..... it annoyed me.
I never have enough time to do everything I want to do.
Today they've taken off to do a bush walk in a really cool gorge a little way from here, and then they're off to the beach for the afternoon. I couldn't go with them because I have to start work at 3pm. And I unreasonably feel like I have 'dibs' on the gorge as I'd made a mental note to go and do a walk there when I drove through it to get to Whangamata a few weeks ago.
This is one reason I want to leave my current place of work .... I get left out of various family weekend activities and visits because I'm working. Didn't use to worry me, but as I get older (and now that I have a cool niece who comes to visit!) it's becoming more important to me than work.
In other news ....
I'm currently addicted to 'Wunderkind' from the Narnia soundtrack. Love it, love it.
And my favourite movie at the moment is 'Walk the Line'.
Totally amazed by (and so jealous of) Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon who are both wonderful actors and can pull off the singing too! Brilliant.
