Lately

Lately I've had alot on my plate.

First of all, Jayne my workmate is on holidays for three weeks, and she went to Port Vila. The lucky thing of course deserves a break. But I find myself wishing I was there too. And our boss has already badmouthed her twice since she's left, not only to me but also to one of the travel agents that work with us. Not very professional coming from my boss, she sounded more bitchy than critic.

Second of all, one of my mates in Port Vila said there was one job opportunity, but it's for something for which I have no experience at all. Some kind of management in sales. *Gulp* me? a manager? I'm not enough of a bully to be one I'm afraid, heh! But the idea is tormenting me.

Third, I would love to go back to Vanuatu, but it's not an option without my parents, and since it's not in there plans to go back just yet, then I'm kinda stuck here. They're not kidnapping me, lol. It's just that in Vila I'd be by myself and when life threw stones at me when I was living there by myself I had no one to really help me get through it and support me. I need them, it's vital.

Number 4, I havent heard from Darren for over a week now. I know my weekend there with him didnt commit us to anything. But it would be nice to know how he's doing since last time he wrote he was really down. I called him to lift his spirits and I think I did. I called again to check on him and he sounded fine. But ever since that phone call, nada. That's how it goes I suppose.... How I wish I was lesbian. This is making me angry and sounding like a psycho-ex so I'll just move on to:

5, My brother is moving out from his studio next month on the 15th. I'm supposed to move in his studio as soon as he gets his new appartment. But seeing that the rent is worth half my pay check (litteraly) I'm not sure if I can do this. The thing is he said he would be handing me down his old washing machine, the oven and probably some of his furniture so that could be really cool for starters but what if I finally decide I want to go back to Vila. I've never been good at saving but paying such a big rent every month not counting food, water and electricity will ruin me.

6, I hate being an adult, I hate taking decisions, I hate being 23 I feel so old, and we're already in JUNE, gosh time just flies and I feel like I havent done any good in my life. So i'm thinking about giving my blood in a couple of weeks. I'll probably faint but I dont care, maybe being light headed will help my mind finding solutions.

7, these thoughts wake me at around to or three in the morning and then I cant get any decent sleep. So I look like a zombie when I step in the office at 8.00am......... Zombies are scary, so why isnt any one scared of me? Maybe I should growl.

Eight, shit i need to have my eyes checked, I think me eyesight is getting worse. But that's probably just due to lack of sleep.

Nine, period pain sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow island_gurl, you DO have a lot on your plate! 

take heart little lady,  it'll get better

I won't try to give you advice,  as only you can decide and choose what will work for you best!

I'm sure you'll do well,  you seem to know yourself very well, what you need,  just believe in yourself, OK?  OK.

Thanks Trudy, I'm sure it will eventually

Thanks! I need to have some faith, you're right. I'll work on that before anything else!

Lists can be good.  Now you can check off the lists as you conquer each one.  Best of luck in that regard.

Thanks DrGuy, you do see clearly when write things down! The one only decision I made is not moving into a place of my own because I cannot afford it. But as for the rest... We'll see later!

Yup exactly! hehe!


Heh, I still wake up early in the morning and cant get back to sleep. I hate it coz I watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose not too long ago and when I wake up I'm praying that it's not 3.00am!!

Oh my gosh, don't feel old at 23! You will make me feel bad!

Hopefully things will so slow down in your life so that you will be able to have more to smile about.

Sorry Rose! I know 23 is not old (it's not, right??)!

Yup looking forward to that!

Good grief you guys! If you feel old at your ages, how old do I feel?!! Right now not so old really since I'm wearing a pony tail today!!

Oh Em, I'm sorry you're having a rough time. It sucks when you have to make decisions doesn't it?

I agree with Doc, make a list, try to get to the ones that you feel are more important. And also, take it easy, as in don't rush into anything and listen to your inner voice. Believe, doing that will help you to make the best decisions. I should know, for the times I ignored mine, were the worst decisions I made ever!

The good thng is you wil bounce back, in that you will be alright, despite what you're going through right now, you will find your way through it and you will be alright. Having faith helps, talking it over with someone helps and putting it all down on paper, as you say, does help you to see things more clearly. Hey, that works for me everytime!

It's not easy when you have to make decisions, especially when you feel so overwhelmed, but just follow the guidelines above, if you feel that's what you should do, and you will be alright.

Hugs!

Thanks forever, I try to concentrate on work and getting things down. The problem is I would like to have projects but I cant because I just dont know what my life will be like in 6 months or even in a couple of months, lol!

In a way it's good because it's a bit thrilling, but when i actually think about it it is scary to have nothing to look forward to

Ah well, nothing good comes easy..............
