The Downward Spiral

I've decided to shut myself in a dark room and listen to NIN constantly...oh wait, that's called work! Yeah...maybe it's the lack of daylight...or maybe it's just lots of random shit just piling up...one after the other...til there's no room left to breathe...

So far this year I've learned that holidays are not as much fun to organise, friends often expect more of you than what they're prepared to give, and family are never what they seem on the surface. Everyone has an agenda...and yes, I realise just how paranoid that sounds, but it's true...how well can you ever really know a person, even those you're related to? And why do people put you in a box and label you, and then get upset when they discover that that's not who you are? And why do some people have this idealistic idea of who they are that totally contravenes how others see them, as a result of their actions?

People are complicated...

And I really, really need a break...I'm so utterly tired - physically and emotionally.

Drizzle

That Friday feeling...

The rain has returned...sounds as if the next 5 days will be more of the same...oh well.

LIR Conference last week went grand. This week, work-wise, has been handy enough. 

The Body, Mind, Spirit Exhibition last saturday was...different. Wow...it costs between 35 and 100 euros to get your fortune told, depending on the methods! Afterwards Deirdre, Breffni and I went into town and had dinner at Yamamori Restaurant - I love their food, although Ebi Furai is no longer on the menu! I'm devastated!!!

I'm currently in that 'missing' zone...discontent, almost melancholic..tired, restless, anxious. I just don't know what's going on!

M.I.A.

Light Snow Showers

...that's what my weather widget says...2 degrees celcius outside...too bloody right it is...

It's just one of those days...health is not good, more problems with friends, my main software application decided today that it didn't like my main hardware peripheral...

Today should have been a duvet day...a day where I stayed at home under my duvet.

The whole world can go to hell in a handbag for all I care...why have I to solve everyone else's problems?

Dashboard

This is a test post...I've added Blogger to my Dashboard and I want to see how easy this is...

Have I ever mentioned how much I like Macs?

According to my weather widget, it's 8 degrees celsius today in Dublin...it is a wet day though, and whilst I'm glad it's not freezing anymore, the rain depresses me. Oh well. I don't think Irish people are ever happy with the weather.

Watched Boy Eats Girl last night...interesting. Seriously dodgey but fun too. Kind of like a student film, with a budget.

Our landlord is being a pain in the ass at the moment...he keeps filling up our bin with junk from the garage, and then sends texts to the boys (but not to me and Carrie-Ann), telling them to put out the bin. We are the ones paying for the bin, by amount of times collected AND by weight, and yet he's filling it up. I rang him last night and brought this to his attention - he said he's deduct it from the bin charges at the end of the year. What annoys me is that he gets tax relief on bin collection for our house, even though WE are the ones paying the bill (on top of our rent, I might add). I hate rented accommodation! There's always something.

Speaking of which, the new cleaning rota just went up...let's see if it's adhered to...

Yeah...I'm ranting today...
