pour me a drink
i've been pretty much incommunicado for the past week or two. no credit, no access to the internet, not even any paper to write a letter! been busy though, mostly cleaning the house. landlady came round to check the place out on tuesday. nightmare. but everything is spotless now, which makes a nice change. the cats have gone too, seeing as russell was never meant to have them here in the first place. place feels surprisingly empty. but with russell moving back to essex in 3 weeks, ive kicked my job hunt into fifth gear and i'm sorry to say wandered into a recruitment agency for call centers yesterday. got a meeting tomorrow to get some applications out and should apparently have an interview by monday and, if i get a job, start the monday after. shouldn't be too bad i suppose. its money either way.
started hunting around for a new place too. fancy living alone for some reason. my own space. looks like a house share is going to be what i end up with though. cheaper for a start. fingers crossed though eh? i actually cant wait to start work, even if i am sitting all day with a headset on trying to sort out peoples bank accounts or broadband or something. getting sick of sitting around the house all day.
it's strange but since saturday night, ive been thinking about the past year alot. i really thought i'd got past it all, but i guess not yet. still, i'm happy. slightly worried too come to think of it. if i don't get a job in the next 2 weeks, then looks like i'll have no choice but to go back to warrington. really don't want that. everything there has changed so much, and i've been away so long, i think i'd be very lonely there. everyone has new friends, and my lack of credit and internet access has made it difficult to keep in touch. i've drifted from alot of people who's friendships i value a great deal, and i hate that. people have changed there too. or maybe they've stayed the same and i've changed. i don't know.
one of the things that surprises me most of all is the fact that since i got here back in june/july, i've only seen sarah once or twice. if you're reading this, give me a call and come down to belfast sometime soon so we can go get a drink!
going to go for a much needed drink tonight i think. russell seemed game this morning, and i'm sure katty and beca will be up for it if they have the money. maybe even rusty if he's not working. should be a good one, grab some seats in annies or something and catch up. its only been about 10 days, but i feel like ive not seen katty in ages!
and now i'm going to go outside and have a cigarette. another annoying thing about the landlady coming round: we had to fumigate the house and smoke outside from now on. still it's a nice day, and the fresh air will do me good. probably.
