After months of occupational nothingness now I have two companies fawning over me. Seriously... what the fuck... I might have to choose!

Last year I worked for little more than two months as a manual laborer and earned around 2000€, net of taxes. Then I had to pay on that more taxes, 250€, plus another slice of 600€ as "future predicted taxes on potential earnings" and now, it seems, I have to pay another 400€ to compensate for the exit money I got from the job ( ( Read more... )

What a week... at this point I don't even care anymore, I'm ready, anesthetized for anything life can throw at me... as long as I have a lovely bearded dragon to concentrate on.

Dragon makes me happy... everybody should have one. The world would be a better place.

I have enough of depressing times. Yes, things still suck, I'm still homeless and unemployed, but there's a bright spark in this 2012 mess. A bright, scaly, red star. Rocco.

I didn't write anything in a while and, looking back at it, I feel a strong blow of regret. For I wasn't happy of my life in England and now, in a couple of sort months, everything changed completely.

I know myself only too well, less than a week before I go and I still have to start packing my things away. This is going to be my last entry before I box up my pc, I'm going to send it via the mail within the week. Then I have to gather everything and pack all I need in my three suitcases. It's incredible the amount of stuff I managed to hoard in ( Read more... )

I leave England in ten days. Tomorrow I'll start de assembling my computer and packing my suitcases, these things can't be rushed or left to the last minute or I'll end up forgetting things here. It feels so strange... a chapter of my life that ends, a new one that begins. I regret lots of things and I curse mainly my inertia, I could have done so ( Read more... )

What am I doing online at 4 am... I am so obscenely nervous. I need to book the return trip in advance if I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for the ticket... but I can't decide on a date. This time it feels so... final. It's hard to explain. I realize I spent the last five years wandering back and forward, delaying this very moment. And there's ( Read more... )

Cat ate the strawberry plant.

Today I de assembled my little greenhouse and cleaned up the yard after the winter period. I'm putting it all away, I'm not likely to be around to care for my garden and it's not fair to burden Arcty with a hobby he doesn't like. Amongst the dried dead plants I found a single salvageable strawberry plant, I took it inside to see if it'll recover ( Read more... )
