on through the night
I talked to my boss (Joe) about leaving my job and he was totally very awesome about it. He's always been a stand-up bloke with me and has always seemed happy to turn a blind eye to my many shortcomings. If it weren't for him I doubt I'd have lasted as long as I have in this job. If I'd had the kind of boss that keeps a watchful eye over your comings and goings I'd have been thrown out on my ear by now. I told Joe my reasons for the career change and he was totally accepting of them. He wanted to know if there was anything he could do better as a manager to make sure that none of his other employees suffer such poor job satisfaction. The thing is that this is more to do with me not wanting to spend my life working in an office rather than being dissatisfied with the job itself. It felt almost like breaking up with somebody. I was really apologetic and remorseful. He has really pushed and encouraged me to progress in this job, but I just lack any form of motivation to do that. But I've decided to stay here right until it's time to leave. I had toyed with the idea of finding a job in the city centre, something that's more of a no-brainer that's not going to leave me tired or stressed. But for one, I think I'm definitely going to need as much money as I can get, and I also reckon that this job will become a lot less stressful now that I know I'm on the way out the door. Feels like a good excuse to take the piss a little bit, know what I mean?
The Mercy Suite was meant to play the Fenton last night but we had to cancel at the very last minute. Iz crashed his car into the back of taxi. He came out of it completely unscathed, which is more than can be said for his car, which is a total write-off. The taxi was full of passengers too, so you can bet that each and every one of them will be making a whiplash claim of some description. Fair one I suppose, I'd do exactly the same thing myself. Anyway, me and Heysi went to see him and he was okay - we just popped out for a couple of beers and had a little natter. Far better than playing a gig. I'll take my blessings where I can find them.
Me and Ruth went to see Constantine on Monday night - was pretty good actually - Peter Stormare was awesome as Lucifer!
I put two Def Leppard albums on my iPod last night. High & Dry and Pyromania. Would you think less of me if I said I really like them? H&D in particular is really good. I'm disgusted with myself.
