Much further out than you thought

[j4]

I feel so far from everybody.

...

Spent last night hiding in my Lerkim (sadly, I can't find a picture of the original Lerkim on the web!). Got lots of stuff done that I can't do at work -- printing photos, uploading user pics for pto452, and trying to write a job application. This job is one that I definitely would want if they offered it to me -- it's an administrative job at the Refugee Council in Oakington: sounds interesting, is significantly better paid than my current job, and is more worthwhile.) Also made a start on scanning and keying the Morris Minor (Series II) owner's manual -- I want to turn it into a useful and properly cross-referenced web resource for moggy owners.

I feel as though I should feel that I've achieved something.

Gordon from Cambridge Kitchens came round this morning at 8:45a.m. (!) to take some more measurements and confirm some bits of the kitchen design. Probably just as well we had that early appointment to get us out of bed; I didn't get to sleep till after 3a.m. (didn't finish job application till 2a.m., had a bath, then tossed and turned and generally felt grotty and eventually got to sleep in the ungodly hours of the morning. And just when I was starting to think that sleep was getting better (actually slept through the previous two nights!).

...

Trying to make a conscious effort to be cheerful. To be honest, it doesn't really feel any more fake or forced than any other emotions at the moment.

I reckon it is worth going for good jobs even if they're only short-term - the contract might get extended (especially in a charity where income etc fluctuates), or another job might come up, or whatever. And at worst you've had 10 months of non-sucky job (& 10 months is quite a while!) which has given you more work experience in a different sort of sector.

So. Good luck, anyway!
