Stuff 2

Posted by: Sally on: November 2, 2009

I haven’t written for ages.  I would like to say that this because my life has been one long social whirlwind, but alas, that is not the case.  Instead I have been working.  Fucking working.  Non-fucking-stop.  Bane of my life.

Nothing has changed.  I am still in the same rut.

My life is still utter chaos in many, many ways.  Bags of stuff everywhere.  Half organised files with notes and stuff – mainly because I don’t have time to do anything other than work.  Or that’s what it feels like, anyway.

I can see no light at the end of the tunnel.  I cannot just chuck in my job.  And any attempts at organisation are quickly scuppered by the Gods of … what’s it called?  When stuff just goes back where it was ‘meant’ to be? 

And things are pretty shit in my personal life at the moment, too.

So it’s all pretty depressing, mainly.

And I’m only writing this now as I wait for my trusty laptop to burn a disk that I need for my class tomorrow — because I have lost the original.  I spent an hour looking for it this evening (THIS MORNING! It’s 1.15am) before remembering that I had the audio files it saved on my laptop.

Blah blah blah.  There’s more to life than this, isn’t there?  Please tell me there is.  I have forgotten what it’s like to be normal!

Oi! Who are you accusing of being normal? And certain person? I didn’t realise. I thought you were single. Oh well. Do I say well done?

Sorry things are a bit shit at the moment for you.
Given time, I’m sure it’ll get better.

Still, nice to see you’re still alive: you hadn’t posted for so long I wondered… :)

Hang in there.

Oh dolly,

Things will get better. Everyone has times like these. I know these are the same old platitudes that you hear over and over again, but I promise that they are true. I’m living proof!

You’re right, you can’t just chuck your job in, but it easier to find a job when you’re in a job, so they say. How about speaking to a career’s adviser?

As for la francais (mine is very very rusty), well I was looking for a french translation of what I wanted to say, and I came across this instead. Cœur qui soupire n’a pas ce qu’il désire. It struck me as quite apt, but perhaps not helpful. I hope you have someone to give you a big hug.

I am feeling slightly better today — thanks for your comments, everyone.

Brennig: Have you seen that film, “Little Miss Sunshine?” I love that bit where they say, “everyone just pretend to be normal!” That’s my life :-)

Not sure congrats are in order. Maybe this post will help explain things: http://stratfordgirl.wordpress.com/2008/03/01/gagged/

Masher: yes, I am alive. As at 4.50pm 2/11/2009, anyway. I wonder what would happen to my blog if I died? Maybe I should write the password in my (non-existant) will, so an announcement could be made. What does happen to people’s blogs when they die?

Jane: Thanks for the kind words. I like the quote – where is it from? BTW, I got rid of the French in the post cos I thought it was too easy to understand … in case you were wondering!

Hey toots. Glad the mini-rant made you feel better. Do you want to come goat-herding with me? ;)

My grandmother used to love the “coeur qui soupire” phrase. I believe it concluded with “coeur content soupire souvent”.
Sorry you were feeling unhappy, and pleased that you are a bit better.

Lis: count me in for the goat-herding! LOL

Pierre: thanks for comment!
