It’s the last day of my thirties today.
I’m a bit scared.
But I don’t know what I’m scared of (obviously not scared of ending a sentence with a preposition).
The invisibility of looming middle age? Missed opportunities? Not living up to expectations? Tits submitting to gravity? Having more opportunities than many but not [...]
Diary notes from yesterday.
My family horse died this morning. She was about 36 and was a grand old thing — the last link between the childhood and my independent adult life so she’s left a big hole in my heart. Very sad.
Did probation review at the new job from hell with Lord Monkey Butt and [...]
Hey, just as a quick aside as part of researching this entry, it was my two-year blogiversay in January and I didn’t realise! I’m off for a slice of flourless, chocolate-less, sugarless, everything-less chocolate cake to celebrate.
I was in my web site admin thingy yesterday to work out when my hosting fees were due as [...]
More than a year ago, I signed up for a radio announcer’s course at the local station. Notice that I said ’signed up’, as the course was never finished. As a class we completed three or four weeks of classroom theory and were sent our separate ways to pitch for a show and request panel [...]
Hey, I was offered and accepted a job, but I have to discuss something else first. What the fuck happened to feminism? Sorry for my swearing of late; all I can say is that I’m glad my mum doesn’t know how to operate a computer because she’d be after me with a bucket of water [...]
Seriously, I need another day job. I’m getting nothing fucking well done here because of the fuckers who keep ringing and trying to suck money I don’t have out of me and doofuses at the door trying to change my fucking electricity and phone plans on the spot.
I left the front door open to allow [...]
April is now International Complaining About Ageing Month so deal with it. Today’s topic is music.
I had a great time for a while at a friend’s thirty-somethingth birthday dinner last year. All went smashingly and we linked arms and sang along with an acoustic duo belting out classic Generation X songs by bands such as [...]
Went to the doctor’s yesterday morning and going to the pathologist’s now because of a mysterious swollen toe joint that makes walking, sleeping and not killing people a challenge. What the fuck is gout anyway? Dr Google says it mainly affects men and women over menopausal age. Fuck you, Dr Google, I want a more [...]
I travelled to the city yesterday for a course. The journey was smooth, the course was beneficial and we finished early.
Stuff changed.
On the crowded train home I ended up wedged vertically with some rather smelly specimens of humanity and the loudest man in the history of mobile phone usage [...]
You know you’re tired when you:
grab deodorant and face cream during the morning routine but, with only two options, swipe your face with the deodorant
have two diaries yet forget the only meeting of the day until the meeting keeper drops by and asks why you’re still at your desk, and he doesn’t understand see the [...]
