    Feeling much better now.

    Off to work now, talk later. ;)

    Well done for getting through the interview, fingers crossed!
    Happiness is wanting what you have...
  • Hi guys, sorry I've been neglecting my diary (and yours too) the last couple of days. Don't have anything to report as I haven't heard back from the job yet. Hopefully tomorrow.

    I am desperate to buy a new piece of furniture to go under my wall mounted TV. None of my old furniture seems to suit this place (either too big or too small). I do have the money in my personal budget to buy what I want, but am hesitant to pull the trigger. Have listed the old stuff on Facebook so I hope it sells, and then I won't feel so bad spending the money.

    I feel very anxious and unhappy when my house is in disarray. It makes me grumpy and not want to have people over. Once I get this piece of furniture, my house will finally be "finished" as far as furnishings go. First world problems, eh?

    Am thinking I might just go out and do it, for the sake of my own sanity.

  • Well I didn't end up hearing anything about the job. :mad:
    I have high hopes for Monday.

    Today I am doing some cleaning around the house, and going to buy my cube bookshelf thingy for my living room.

    Sometimes I have a lot of discontentment over the fact that I bought a 1 bedroom unit. Sometimes I feel like I made a poor financial decision in buying it. Sometimes I wish I had a guest room or an office.

    But then I remember that I rarely have guests and I don't ever do office-y things.

    A friend said to me "what if you have a baby, where will you put the baby?" :rotfl:
    (I am no where near the phase of live where I might consider having a baby)
    I suppose if I did have one, it would have to live in the garage. Because it's incredibly uncivilised to just have the baby sleep in your room with you. Wouldn't you agree? :p


    Anyways, whenever I feel said about the fact that my unit only has one bedroom, I like to go on Youtube and look at tiny Japanese apartments. And then my place feels like a football field and I'm happy again.

    Grr to having to wait till Monday.

    Those Japanese apartments are miniscule. I saw one that was a tiny, L-shaped strip wrapped round the corner of some big building. Minimal in the extreme. Note though, smaller is cheaper so think how much your place is saving you compared to a multi-bedded house! And if you have a baby, I'm sure you'll clear a corner of the garage for it. :D

    P.S. Our first place was truly very small. My FiL politely called it 'bijou'. It was all we needed though. :) It was opposite a jam factory - smelled gorgeous!

    Annoying not hearing about the interview.

    Hilarious about worrying where you'll put the baby.:rotfl:

  • :exclamati: :exclamati: Very grumpy and cranky post incoming.You've been warned.

    I still have not heard about the job yet. I was meant to hear back on Friday. :mad:
    My patience is wearing thin, and I'm not sure how much longer I can take it. My current job is not getting any better as the days go by. I suppose I shall send follow up email tomorrow to see what is going on?

    I'm trying not to be negative, but at this point I feel like I can't help it anymore. I know I'm being dramatic, but if this job doesn't work out, I don't know what else I am going to do. :(

    I know I can just keep applying for other jobs, but ugh.

    Nothing much to report in the area of money. I went over my grocery budget by $10 or so. Oops. Tomorrow is payday :T
