I haven't been sleeping very well with worry about work and I am feeling forgetful and not myself. I'm wondering if I should start taking more medication again to counter my anxiety. I went to the pub and my friends made me feel better about the situation but I spoke to my parents terribly stressed out and they're worried about me.

I honestly might get PRK surgery one day after I get a job. I am almost legally blind in my left eye without glasses(I can only read the first line with the big letters) and even with glasses it could definitely be better. My right eye is better, but not by much. I think I would get a huge jump in quality of life. My sympathies MyHappySk8er. I have no confidence at work at the moment because of my poor eyesight. I lost my temper with an 18 year old girl who runs rings around me because I am not fully aware of what is going on. I wish I could tell you not to worry and you will find a job and everything will be okay but that might not be the case. Good luck. I am praying 🙏 for you like miss Jayden used to.

How can having an interview with someone for 12 minutes not really reveal anything new as bogo said? Plus lots of saying "like" every other word. I don't know. I find it hard to be inspired by Avril when she's promoting herself. It helps that she has the natural charisma of someone very good looking but she's got nothing to say, nothing new anyway. I feel like maybe she is quite guarded and puts up a barrier to her true self in the interviews on a need to know basis. I've got to be honest, I couldn't be bothered to listen to the whole interview. I don't mind listening to her music. Yeah I agree. Her interviews are very rinse and repeat. The last time I remember hearing something new in an interview was when her and Chad were going on about their sex life - an image I don’t think any of us wanted. I tend to listen to the first big interview she does each era then not bother. It’s like she has a script for each album. Yeah, I watched her interview on Ellen and that was probably enough for me. I understand it is just promotion and it’s a job and I suppose she is quite professional in the way she handles it and quite mature but it does feel like she is just on repeat in the same way maybe she learns her songs for her act. At least she seems happy at the moment and is fully over lymes disease I feel. I can’t talk, I hate cameras and interviews so I couldn’t do any better.

Oh no. I lost my temper with a girl at work and was very unprofessional and told her to, "fuck off." Was called up by my supervisor about it and had to apologise to the supervisor, not the young girl. I don't know how to deal with that particular annoying woman. Thankfully the supervisor was sympathetic to my cause. Just let her get on top of me. She was poking her nose into my business where it didn't belong and being annoying and I lost my temper with her. The supervisor was very understanding. I'm stressed... I can't afford to be losing my temper in a job I can't afford to lose. Must not let it happen again.

ben545 you should get your eyesight checked. If number is increasing quickly, could be some underlying issue. Hope things get better for you soon. I had an eye test which is why I am getting new glasses and reading glasses for the first time. Cost me £35. It is normal apparently for your eyes to become fatigued over long distances and then you need reading glasses. It’s still shit not being able to see properly at work which is maybe why I feel down.

I'm a bit worried about my eyesight. It has gotten worse. Getting new glasses and I now also need reading glasses. Can't see long distances recently and it is very annoying.
I feel like crying at work sometimes. It's a tough deal working there. I don't feel like I have much of a choice and it is quite demoralising. I feel like a slave.
Giving a Romanian colleague a lift in my car soon and charging him £10 a day for the privilege.
I have booked some holiday and have a week off over Christmas so that is good. meh!

Someone alerted me to how bad violent crime is in San Francisco right now. Thinking of going there on holiday.

ben545 I think you mentioned on here before about that little boy who was murdered in Solihull? Been following the trial quite closely this week and it’s just the most horrendous thing isn’t it. Things in the news don’t often get to me but it’s absolutely heartbreaking. That poor kid hope the judge goes to town with the sentencing tomorrow. Yeah, I did mention it. There are some very cruel people about unfortunately. Poor kid.

I found myself humming the song at work today which is most unusual. I think Avril has finally produced a hit single.

I have decided to go on holiday to San Francisco for a couple of weeks next Easter to visit my American cousins. I won't be carrying a concealed weapon as advised by Uncle Bob but will be more likely to be wearing flowers in my hair like some kind of peace envoy....a bit like John Lennon I just need a change of scenery. I need to get away from Birmingham. I will probably just hang around bars and eat a lot of fast food. Do touristy things, go to the Haight Ashbury maybe visit Alcatraz. I don't know. Just keep my wits about me and not be the victim of some crime or whatever.
