25 yesterday, Oh dear...

the slippery slope down to 30 begins here. Eeeeek!

What is the point?

I seem to be in a randomly depressed mood today where I'm having problems seeing the point to anything.

OK, I've finally got my ass in gear and moved away from home, I've got a job, I'm relatively self-sufficient, Now what?
I go to work, I come home, I go to bed, then get up and go to work again. On my days off I do housework and shout at Bart a lot. Great. I wonder if this is all there ever will be to life and this depresses me a bit. OK, I know I could get more out of my life if I got off my arse and looked for interesting stuff to do but I struggle with motivation.

I'm sorry this is such a whinging, self-pitying post but I needed to get it off my chest.

Don't know why I'm feeling like this, maybe it's a combination of PMT and Pre-Birthday depression. Also, it's Sunday, which doesn't help.

P@#$&D Off

Fed up at the moment. Got the weekend off which should be a good, however, can't really do much as I only have £10 left to last me until I get paid (not until the 31st). And I really fancy some wine. Hmph!
Also Adam's phone isn't working, yet again so I can't speak to him at the moment. GRRRRR!

I am totally bored and fed up

Thunderbolt and Lightning, very very frightening!

Damn weather! Only got about 2 hours sleep last night due to nasty thunderstorms. I was scared shitless, but actually managed not to panic too much and stayed in bed without having to put my bedroom light on this time!
Got to go to work in half an hour as well. Curses! I'll probably fall asleep at my computer

Too Bloody Hot

Too damn hot today. In such a way that you don't really have much energy to do anything other than sit about.

At least I spent most of the day in an air conditioned office. Work is a lot better now I've been moved on to email (although we do get made to help out on the phones sometimes at least it's not all the time) it's so much less stressful, and some of the emails we get from customers are really funny too. Is there no end to their stupidity!?
For example, today, the person I was sat beside got an email from someone complaining that they hardly got any sleep in the hotel they were staying in because of 'seagulls'(!) Even funnier, his hotel was in Aberdeen!! I think what beggars belief is that he emailed us as if we were liable for this and it was all our fault that he was kept awake by 'seagulls' in aberdeen!
By the way, if you happen to be reading this and you have emailed Expedia regarding 'seagull' related issues, we owe you a good slap, And No, you're NOT getting any money back!

Anyway, I'm going to stop ranting now and get something cold to drink (alas not cider tho as I haven't got any :-( Bah!)

P.S. I've put the word 'seagulls' in inverted commas in this post as the birds I'm referring to are really Herring Gulls. 'Seagull' is a gross generalisation

Fair Enough...

Sad :-(

Had a really good few days with Adam staying here. But alas, he had to go home this morning so feeling rather sad and lonely now :-(

Also have a strange urge to watch Blackadder. BAH!

Yay!

In a good mood today. Firstly, I'm moving on to answering e-mails at work from today instead of taking calls. This means I'll just have to read customers moaning at me rather than having them nagging at me over the phone. This sound far less stressful (hopefully!), and also you're allowed to listen to your MP3 player while working as well, so it can't be too bad. Even if I do still have to work until 10 at night this week.

Also, even better, Adam is coming over to visit tomorrow night! Hooray!!!! :D

Bored...

I'm so bored. TV is kaput, not that there is much on TV just now but this also means I can't watch DVDs or play the Playstation. Grrrr!
Work has been driving me mad this week, it has been way too busy and today was even busier because the workers for the spanish airline Iberia are planning a strike so lots of customers were calling in to find out if their flights were going to be cancelled. (Damn Iberia and the lazy spanish bastards that they employ!).
Wednesday was also busy, went out in the evening to have a go at fencing, this is something I've always fancied trying. The idea of getting to play with a sword-like object is greatly appealing to me! (I scared the guy who was teaching us by the psychotic gleam that was in my eye) It was really fun and harder work than I expected. My legs and arms are still sore today. Also thought I was going to faint from the heat in all the gear you have to wear. It was probably the most exercise I've had in ages. I'm so unfit now I'm not cycling 8 miles to work and back 5 days a week. My current place of work is only 20 minutes walk from where I live and I don't have a bike at the moment . Think I might have to get one soon though. I miss cycling.
Anyway, I'm just rambling now. I've got a day off tomorrow so I'm going to sit with a book and drink some wine.
Hmmmm....wine....

EEEEEEEEEK!!.....

.....was my reaction at about half 12 last night, having been quite happily drowsing off to sleep, only to be rudely jerked into being wide awake by a rumble of thunder.
Now this wouldn't be too much of a problem for most normal people, but for me it's a huge problem. I am absolutely terrified of thunderstorms! I think what bugs me nearly as much as the actual thunder itself is the fact that I have no idea why I'm so frightened of it. It makes me feel really silly. It seems daft and pathetic for a grown woman of nearly 25 to be having to go to sleep with her bedroom light on because she happened to hear all of two fairly distant rumbles of thunder!
Damn my subconcious for making me be so irrational. Maybe I need hypnotism or something
