Week 10,000 something…maybe(?)

August 31, 2019 IantheLeave a comment

Hello evenings floating in a pool, heading home smelling of chlorine (which I love the smell of, strangely) and enjoying the only exercise I truly find helpful to my mental state.

Ungrateful little s***s

June 21, 2014March 31, 2016 IantheLeave a comment

I am so angry right now that I had to write this down before it caused me another bloody headache that I can well do without. My sister has 4 kids (yes, four). The oldest is 16 (17 in August) and so lacking in any kind of maturity it's scary. At the age of 4 [...]

Game of what?

June 19, 2014March 31, 2016 IantheLeave a comment

I have just started to watch Game of Thrones the TV show and to be honest I am not sure what to think about it. I am 4 years behind the rest, though I admit I tried to watch the first episode when it initially aired but I just couldn't get into it. Relating to [...]

Things for me haven't changed too much, am still unemployed and looking (oh that is worse when you are unemployed and looking than when you [...]

Fic and other things that matter

February 21, 2007March 31, 2016 IantheLeave a comment

Here is a brief update on the events that have made up my life for the last week. I am writing again (insert applause here). Seriously, I have been bringing books, college texts and music into work for the last five weeks, and in all that time only twice have I sat down in front [...]

Another day…

January 25, 2007March 31, 2016 IantheLeave a comment

...Another wonderfully eventful day in the office! I have a training course today, although I am not quite sure of the purpose, apart from the fact that they couldn’t find anyone else who would benefit from a day upgrading HTML skills. We now officially know that there are no jobs for us here, and although [...]

Blerghle: An Update

January 12, 2007March 31, 2016 IantheLeave a comment

I can honestly say that this week has been difficult. Oh, don't get me wrong, every week is difficult, but for some reason this one was different. I had yesterday off – hence the new appearance of the journal – but I spent the entire day alternating between thinking "I don't want to do my [...]

It’s cold…

December 24, 2006March 31, 2016 IantheLeave a comment

...in here! Well, two days before Christmas and the inevitable happens. Normally only one disaster per Christmas season, but this year that just isn't the way. One chest infection - check...warmth in which to recover - no check! Yup, this morning we woke up to a house that may as well have no windows! We [...]

ARGH – Can you believe this?

July 22, 2006March 31, 2016 IantheLeave a comment

That thing which normally happens around this time in the morning, the thing that I struggle really hard to achieve when it's overly warm and I am constantly trying to find ways to cool down? You know, that thing which happens at night when you close your eyes, even out your breathing and calm down...I [...]
