Some guy I was working next to today tested positive for Covid-19 and was sent home. I hope I haven’t caught it.

Went out with Abigail to a meetup thing organised on Facebook. Some crappy 80s and 90s disco called reflex 3pm to 7pm. I was too shy to dance and meet women. All drinks were half price. I don't drink at the moment then met up with friends in the pub later on. Just not used to a nightclub environment everybody dancing and kind of enjoying themselves seemed odd.

Anyone been outright fired from job before? I think my boss is preparing the grounds for it.. I've only been a few months at this place, but they were turbulent, mostly because of their disregard of regulations concerning workers' wellbeing and general bullyish behaviour by superiors. It isn't a pleasant feeling to be in such a place, even less so now that I know there's a whole process going on behind my back... very stressful! I’ve done a couple of jobs that were beyond my ability that I ended up being fired from when I was younger. Not a pleasant feeling. Wasn’t trained or supported properly and was given the boot.

I got the job so now I have two companies trying to employ me. This new job is only 10 miles away, the other one was 20 miles. It is less pay with perhaps more heavy lifting but it is more regular work with a better prospect of working there permanently. Meh! Don’t know if it’s a better job or not yet.

Yes, thank you: @panchali, Yolandi and Jinkxx ! Good news for me. They need me back at work in my old job and I have an interview for a new job tomorrow. It really scared me when I thought I was out of work. I don’t like the lack of job security working for an agency. Very scary!

Went for Sunday lunch with friends. Been reading up on back office processing systems for my interview on Tuesday, just so I know what the function of the company is. Cooking a pizza now.

Yeah, I think letting go of tension is key to you getting rid of your back pain. I don’t know the ins and outs of your family problems so I can’t comment. As someone who struggles to hold down a job and struggles to survive when unemployed I admire your determination and ability as a capable employee. I just feel helpless again and ever so slightly like I wish I wasn’t here, like in general. Just need another break so I can be earning again. Got my glasses back from the opticians today so at least I can see now which was holding me back. Went out on my bike today in the sun for a coffee and that really cheered me up just to not care for a few hours. Thank you for your kind words!! I appreciate it Ben!! That feeling you have is terrible… you have to tell yourself you’re worth it because you are! It’s a good sign that a coffee and being on your bike made you happy! And new glasses are important!! To be able to see everything is everything! Thanks Jinkxx for your kind support. Fucking hell! It was so scary, the prospect of unemployment again. It is an absolutely soul destroying prospect for me. Thank god I have found another job. I was also stressing how I will lose about £400 of unused holiday pay but apparently that will be paid me when I leave. I don’t ask for much from life but I know how tough some people have it and I don’t want to be one of them.

I think she must be really clever to learn that dance routine for tiktok and all the words to her new songs. God bless Avril Lavigne.

Broccoli and stilton soup with pate on toast (it was pretty gross to be honest) and then an apple and a banana. Trying to be healthy. Edit: just noticed the pate had cranberries and camembert in it. No wonder that meal was so gross. Cranberries and broccoli...

Avril looks great in her latest photoshoot. Style over substance maybe.

I wish I had something positive to say on my first post in like a decade... but idk, this song just lacks... quality to me. The melody didn't flow and the lyrics aren't memorable either. Edit: never mind, I got myself in a pop mood and this song is fine lmao I feel exactly the same way about pretty much all of her music over the past ten years.

I've been forced to look for another job. The availability of work in my current job is too sporadic. Thankfully I found an agency that wants to employ me and I have an interview next Tuesday. It is closer to where I live which is good and it is similar work. I don't think I have done anything wrong for me not to be needed in my current job. There simply isn't enough work. It’s annoying because I really liked working there and how the company looked after their staff. Fingers crossed this new job is alright.

I'm sorry I was so negative about the new album cover. I'm under a lot of stress at the moment. As a concept the cover art works well.

I don't know. That's just my gut feeling that the sitting position doesn't show off her womanly curves.
