Bloody Hell, How long without an update!
Things have been hell so I haven’t been able to update this blog for quite a while. Work has gone from bad to worse, they’re complaining about timekeeping, internet use and quality of my work, and are threatening me with a written warning about it. Suffice to say I’m not happy here and things are degrading quite quickly.
Kackman has handed in his notice and guess who’s going to get all the extra pressure in addition to his work on top of mine. Scooter’s tried to reassure me but I don’t feel it especially after the threats listed above. To make matters worse, I haven’t even been offered an interview for any of the positions I’ve applied for. This has made me feel a lot worse than normal.
I’ve been reworking the CV but I’m wondering what else could be wrong in the current Job market. Could it be my un-willingness to travel large distance? My Salary is too high? There are hundreds of questions going through my mind at the moment. There was a position that seemed to be right up my street, but then the company in question decided that the position was not needed and so no Job interviews took place.
Homelife is just as bad. Little Miss is a lot more active, she’s crawling round the carpet (mostly backwards, instead of forwards) and the four top teeth are through, but she’s still not sleeping through the night and she’s now not even going straight to sleep. On a more positive note, she is eating and drinking a lot better.
But the real problem is the relationship between myself and LSW. We’re shouting and snapping each other heads off. In some cases, I don’t want to be in the same room as her because another argument will start. Sometimes it’s me blowing up, but most of the time it’s her. I feel she’s constantly nagging, complaining and criticising about anything I do. It normally follows that there’s a bit shout or complain and then we kind of make up but then it’s all back to the start again. I don’t know what to do it feels that it’s going down the pan.
AND on top of that I’m still ill. I still haven’t completely kicked this flu type bug I’ve had since Christmas. With soar throats and headaches all the time it’s hard to concentrate on things and keep on top of things.
As might be expected, work on the game has had to be put on hold while I sort out most of these problems, which is even more frustrating. I can see a blindingly obvious opportunity slipping away from me.
