It's funny because it's true
2 colleagues overheard yesterday discussing how to get some extra staff in for overtime that day:
Colleague 1: nobody’s going to come in on a sunny day like this. Especially a Sunday.
Colleague 2: we need somebody who’s just like… desperate for money.
Me (shouting from the back of the room): I’m already here!
Lololol
FML
Right that’s it. I’m exhausted. I’m taking a night off tonight. After I’ve been to work…and done my shopping. Oh, and that stuff I said I’d do for my dad. And I need to go for a run. Oh and I’d better tidy up a bit.
Fuck. Where’d my night off go?
What is this
How can I be so tired and still wake up an hour before my alarm goes off? How does that even happen? I’ve been doing it every single time I have to get up early for the last few weeks.
Serious yawning going on here.
Events
Yesterday was full of it. After my first encounter, we went to a bar for a drink where I bumped into a guy I dated briefly four years ago. We didn’t speak but I’m sure he recognised me.
Both the guys I bumped into yesterday were the kind who stopped replying to my texts and calls for days before telling me it was over. So by the time Darcy stopped replying to my texts that night, my...
Answers, and getting them
We went to the theatre and as we took our seats a couple stood to let us pass. A familiar face caught my eye and a voice said hi and it was N.
Unbelievable. There he sat for the next hour, only two seats away from me. How many times have I imagined his face in a crowd?
I caught him alone during the break because I had to know. The woman with him was not his ex-wife. They are not back together....
Huh
I just agreed to start work 2 hours early tomorrow. Actually, it was my idea. Being skint must be going to my head.
Dear Darcy,
There’s something you need to understand. Through no fault of your own, you’re going to have to work hard to gain my trust. You have the guys who came before you to thank for that.
If we continue seeing each other, I’m going to turn into this really insecure person who believes you’re going to change your mind and leave me any minute. The sad thing is that this will push you away....
Sigh
Totally depressed at being at work right now. Maybe it’s because it’s sunny outside and I’m stuck in here. Maybe it’s because I slept late and did nothing before work. Maybe it’s because it’s 3pm and my day is already over - the next 7 hours of my life belongs to the money making machine.
Roll on 10pm, that’s all I can say.
Date night tonight!
Only 9 hours left to get ready…. Haha
Lazy morning
Wake up
Drink coffee
Eat breakfast
Go back to sleep
Wake up
Eat lunch
Drink coffee….
This must be what life is like for my nephew right now.
So glad I slacked off this morning and got some more sleep. I feel human again.
Good morning, apparently
Yes, body, I would really love to wake up randomly at 4am. I feel that being tired would really add something to my brain (wtf) day.
Oh gawd, today is going to be long. Very very long.
In better news (since I now seem to have time for an update):
I hot got my room all sorted for the flat inspection. Yay. Now that’s over with I can concentrate on WORK. No more distractions….apart...
Feeling very positive about life
I wrote the other day that every area of my life is either difficult or changing. Well that is still true.
But what I didn’t say is that everything is changing for the better. I feel like I’m moving on in many ways. Of course it’s not easy. It’s progress.
Romance!
Second date with Darcy planned for thursday.
I’m excited.
But being excited makes me anxious. Because if I get excited I can get hurt.
I’m really getting to like this guy.
Trying to keep my feet on the ground and keep things slow.
Eek.
"how's your room looking?"
"......."
"are B and R in?"
"no"
"when are they making this pie?"
"when they get in"
"we're going to go out for a bit cos we've got nothing to do"
Great, good for you. Go out and wait for everyone to do everything.
annoyed.
You’d think, wouldn’t you, that if 2 people chose to break their contract and sublet a room to a 3rd person, that the situation would be everybody’s problem. And when the landlord was coming round to check on the property, hiding the 3rd person would be everybody’s responsibility. Because they all made that decision, all took that risk, they’re all in it together....
Plus one
Remember me saying I was going to take a step back from the freelance work and concentrate on studying for a while?
Remember me saying I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I have going on right now?
Well I just agreed a 4th project.
I wonder how this is going to work out.

Wtf tumblr. I post a photo yesterday, you don’t post it. I post a pic today, and you post it with YESTERDAY’S caption. What?
I’ll sort it out and repost tomorrow, I’m too tired.
“but you’ve been off work since tuesday, haven’t you?”
– My flatmate.
(I swear they both think I have 4 day weekends and do nothing when I’m not working at the shop)
Hello random guy on the train
1. The floor by my feet is not a convenient place for you to sit. There isn’t enough room for my legs as well as your ass, I want to kick you ‘by accident’ and it’s just socially awkward.
2. Stop fucking staring at me. Just stop.
3. When I finally get a seat, coming to sit next to me after all that is a bit creepy.
Repeatedly
1. Looking at baby photos over and over
2. Re-reading texts from my date
How am I ever going to get any work done ever again?
Baby ramble
I’m on a train again. I swear I only just arrived.
Amazing to see my nephew. There are no words good enough to describe this tiny person. He does the cutest little pout with his lips when he’s sleeping. I wonder what he dreams about? I fed him, burped him, watched him sleep, watched him lie awake and stare at the world around him. What’s it like when every sight and sound is...
Baby
I’ve seen photos and a video of my nephew, and I can honestly say he is absolutely adorable. Hey, I know I’m biased but it’s true. He’s perfect.
He’s also a naughty little boy who isn’t letting my sister get much sleep. Poor girl.
I’m on my way to visit now and I can’t wait. I think the whole thing will be a bit more real when I get there and see them both! Still feels a bit unreal so far.
...
Darcy
Maybe I shouldn’t call him Darcy. Hmm.
Anyway, the date went well and we’ve been texting a lot since. He really makes me laugh, I think our sense of humour works well. He seems pretty thoughtful and attentive too, remembering things I’ve said, asking about my nephew and sister and so on. In short, I think he’s a good one.
One thing that bothers me is that he lives with...
Damn phone. I keep writing posts and losing them because the signal drops.
Ramble
If someone gave you a magic potion that would make one area of your life just perfect, what would you do with it?
Hmm. Tricky.
My first thought would be to fix my money situation. Paying off my debt and getting some savings wouldn’t just make things easier financially, it would take pressure off every single area of my life instantly. Money affects pretty much everything right now (sad but...
Pull yourself together
Massively overwhelmed with life right now. Work (both), money, flat, flatmates, moving, aunty-hood, me, trich, dating, study, family, friends…. Everything. Life is one big scary motherfucker. Nothing is calm; everything is either changing or difficult… or both.
Going to see family today. The second I see my mum I am going to cry. Fact.
Damn I hate arguing.
Dear brain,
Shut up and go to sleep.
Impatient
Again.
B is really getting on my nerves recently.
If you ask me for cash in the morning, don’t expect it to be there before I get home from work that night. It won’t be. I have to go and get it from the cash machine.
If I could make money appear out of nowhere I wouldn’t be renting your tiny little spare room.
Rant over.
Emotional
The last few days. And busy.
I’ll be on a train either Wednesday or Thursday. You and I will probably catch up then, tumblr. That’s when we always have our best talks.
Until then, I have one thing to say… My nephew is the most gorgeous little man I have ever seen. Thanks to my bro-in-law for sending me a photo. Can’t wait to meet him for real!

It's official
I am clinically incapable of keeping a plant alive.
Ugh
When did saturday night turn into work-time?
clientsfromhell:
Me: So your username is your employee number, without the “e” and with an extra zero on the end.
Client: Is that a capital zero? Or just the little one?
Me: Just the number, zero.
Client: So upper case?
Chuck Norris can write numbers in uppercase.
date was good :)
Date time!
Far too dressed up to be on a bus right now.
Got nervous and went OTT on the hair.
Do flat shoes compensate? I don’t know.
Nervous.
Here goes nothing.
Can't sleep
Too many thoughts.
Dear flatmate,
I am at work. Two texts, an email and a voicemail is a bit excessive.
F-ing post office. F-ing rip-off. Grr.
