all this crap about the ashes is making me homesick. and i can’t even watch it. no coverage here in sweden at all, not even on the obscure cable sports channels. i’m not surprised, but for some reason some of my colleagues were.
it’s just after midnight friday as i write this. obviously i’m not out, and i haven’t been out. it’s friday, it’s also payday, and yet i couldn’t find anyone to go to the pub with. pathetic. on a slightly more positive note i got confirmation back from my storage place that i can pay for a smaller installment of rent, so my money woes have been eased a little bit.
i’m tired, and hungry. i think i’m going to bed.
the next couple of months are shaping up to be pretty ordinary. christmas is on the way, and i have nowhere to go and nothing to do. i did have a plan, which unfortunately fell through. i’ve also just received the bill for my storage in melbourne, and i have absolutely no idea how i’m going to pay it. that means i have essentially zero dollars to spend over christmas as well, even if i’d thought of something to do.
probably puts paid to my friday night pub budget too, which is an utter disaster. my friday nights out with some of my workmates have been about the only highlight in my life lately. it took so much effort to get them all organised and continual effort to round them all up each week and get them moving pubwards, i’m also kind of worried that without me there to hassle them, they might all fall out of the habit and go back to being antisocial again.
not that any of them could necessarily care less if i’m there or not, but they really need rockets up their collective proverbials, or nothing happens at all. as for me, that’s my only social outlet.
it’s all a bit of a fuckup really. on top of it all, i’m being ‘asked’ if i’m going to work over christmas. not on christmas day mind you, but once again to cover during the periods when nobody’s in the office. just like i did last christmas, and just like i did during summer when everyone had their month off. not that i have anything better to do, but i’d really rather not be in the office, one way or the other. add to that, if i don’t take my annual leave eventually, it doesn’t accrue, it gets paid out. i don’t want that either (despite my current financial crisis), i want the time off.
i don’t know. it’s such a pain in the neck.
speaking of lists..
reducing my nerd quotient (if not getting me kicked out of the club altogether)
- clerks is kevin smith’s worst movie (corollary, dogma and jay & silent bob strike back are my favourites).
- i have never watched office space all the way through and i don’t intend to, because i don’t find it particularly funny.
- the simpsons is still funny.
i think i had more to add, but now i’m distracted and i can’t think of them.
i kind of felt like doing some musings on the universe today, but now that i’m here i really can’t be bothered.
another friday has rolled around, with any luck another wee smalls conclusion to the nights festivities. here’s to the rest of the pay passing as quickly as possible.
