No idea how I got here but need to get out of this place!

Thanks Piq, still on the 3 wake ups a night routine am feeling like a total zombie if I am honest. Don't really have the urge to snooze in the day at weekends and have so much to do anyway with getting the house back in order that it flies past before I can think "oh cup of tea and a 5 min sit down" Have a whole entire day with The Boss today, and by that I mean 0800 to 2300 (we have a work related event in the pm sadly) I did manage to avoid lunch with them today as I have SOOOOOO much to do I am losing sight of the wood.

Not a scrap of food in the house - have to hope DH will get at least milk today. Ran out of time as inconveniently supermarkets close at 4pm on a Sunday. OK for me as I am out, but bad news for mornings.

Our lodger has said is staying for an extra month! Great news for us as this provides food money at present and this was due to stop in June. Got a portion of curry out the freezer for him tonight. DH is off out tonight too.

Right nose back on grindstone

Feeling very low.
Been turned down for a job as too experienced. Really liked the company and the job. Just can't win if I am honest. We need all this experience which you have but no we will give it to someone else. Really feel as if I have been kicked in the teeth.
Doglet let me have a night sleep, but now feel more knackered than before.

Boss kept me in work til 1830 tonight and then complained I had not done stuff, something to do with spending 4 hours a day every day in a meeting with him!

That is pants, but unfortunately something I can relate to. I think too many managers/directors are afraid of experience - it threatens their job security. No way will an insecure manager take on someone with proven experience. Sad but true from my own experiences.

You will find something that suits you better, it may not even be what you think you're looking for.

Love to you and doglet xx

Very sorry to hear you didn't get the job.

As Piq says, maybe it's time to look in other directions too?

More love to you and Doglet. :smileyhea

I think you are right, I just need to stop being quite to hurt by it (easier said than done)

Doglet and I are having puppy cuddles under the blanket it's cold and I am trying to avoid putting the heating on, but spent hours travelling today and its peeing it down so am feeling the cold.

Tomorrow is Friday I have made it through another day and nearly another week.

Need to sort out some reports and crack on with some time on The Big Project

Hum what to do bit of a conflict morally to solve. Not created by my morales I have to say but a situation I now have to deal with it in accordance with MY morales and ethics. It is eggshell crunch making as could destroy a friendship and at worse make a friendship remote. Perhaps I turn the other cheek, but I am struggling with this one presently

Aside from that we have made progress on the house and budget front. A lot of the things we have cut back and back and back have now come to fruition. S we have to be careful but suddenly we have money to do things with like plan and budget for a holiday so why I am scared by the fact there is a positive balance at the end of the month?

I panic thinking I have forgotten a bill, I check and double check its weird like I can't quite believe it is ok to it be down to pounds not pennies by the 10th of the month!
