My life today

Is it cowardly of me to just want it to stop hurting already? I thought i was doing ok and then it hit me, thankfully I have an office now so crying at my computer isnt so conspicuous anymore.

Its the feeling of humiliation that gets me the most, that i could care so much about someone who didnt care about me in the same way and not realise.

Ban the cuppa?!

Ok this article proves that the world has officially gone made as far as I'm concerned!!

1648 or 2008?

Sometimes the world is a very scary place and I become convinced that all the progress and development in our society has been for nothing if people can still be convinced that someone is a witch as with this story. It makes me so angry, and so sad for the poor woman whose only crime was to probably manage to upset or become a target of someone with more power than herself

And what is it with trying to put our values and morals on to the actions and behaviour of animals?!!! this article is brilliant - a teeneage welfare mom with a difference! read the comments as well, they're really quite funny

A week of extremes

hahaha max i have bad news for you hun, i have a new job starting at the end of this last one - i will be a professional map geek for a further 12 months :p

i am quite excited by the possibilities of this job. I will be working and learning loads more about database and data mining, hard work but it should be a great experience aaaaaaaand i will be coming to America for a field trip, so i think i shall be coming out a week or so earlier so that i can come and visit the flock :D too good an opportunity to miss ;)

but it has also been abit of a rubbish week, things with the blonde haired boy have finally gone completely pair shaped and it hurts a lot. If i am going to be fair it probably had been for a while and i hadnt realised just how bad. Although as my friend Simon pointed out it will probably be better for me, for all he cared he was so busy focusing on his own happiness and the status quo for himself he had no time for me or to help me. And he always put so much pressure on me (unknowlingly) for nothing to go wrong that they always did.

So a week of highs and lows

luckily with my current job i can work from home, and cos on top of this I have flu as well i have taken a day home working and am not getting out of my dressing gown for love nor money. It also means i dont have to suffer my random bursts into tears happening in public at work. Although the bad side is, as i'm not getting out of the dressing gown i cant really go down to the shop for chocolate - damn didnt think this one through

and hopefully max is going to come up trumps with the Boom idea, cos I definitely dont have anyone else to go with now this has all gone wrong with the boy, and i really really want to go!!!

oh and finally cheers flynn for my card, i like it a lot :)

and many thanks to Simon and Maddies to making me laugh last night just when i needed it!

anyway i suppose i ought to actually do some work really!

The New Job

Well I made it through my first day at work and I survived! It wasnt too bad either.

Spent the first couple of hours with no-one really being sure what I was supposed to be doing, had a big long meeting in which theoretically I was told what I had to do but in such a jumbled, disjointed and chaotic manner I am more bewildered than anything, then spent a few hours trying to get jobs started and not really making headway as its all still very new - like it does tend to be when you start a new job.

Lol but it wasnt too bad really, mostly just confusing. It's lovely to have a job where I know and enjoy the company of a lot of the people who work there, and that actually works sociable hours, I have already been home, had dinner, had a nap and then got up again all before the time I would have gotten home from the call centre.

And for someone like me, how can having a job as a map geek be in anyway a bad thing?

Feeling Unloved

Why does no-one ever bother to comment on my blogs these days :(
