Good news, they're going to give me a job at work, paid work. I'll be earning money again. I'm feeling so happy, finally got my foot on the ladder. Been volunteering for 3 years now. My manager said she didn't know why they didn't employ me earlier. I'm too kind. It was my old manager's ex-girlfriend that recommended me. I know how much this means to you, Ben. It's a lot easier to get a job when you have a job. I hope you do well.

There's nothing certain at the moment and yes it does mean a lot to me.

I’m feeling exhausted but great! The weather in Sicily is better then expected so that’s good news! I’m in my hotel room now chilling and checking bandaids on my mobile now. The beach is nice since the weather is quite hot when the sun is shining and I burned my back like hell... 4 days ago and still not recovered! Wearing a shirt hurts... imagine a bra -_-

I am absolutely thrilled. I finally got my favorite desktop computer running right. It's been driving me crazy for three weeks. It would randomly open dozens of browser windows, making it impossible to use. I couldn't close them fast enough. I've been building and repairing computer networks for about 35 years. In all that time, I've never spent this much time troubleshooting a single computer. I've never been so baffled. I eventually decided the problem was either in the cpu or the motherboard. So, I finally gave up and started to transfer my settings and files to my other desktop. During the process of connecting the wireless keyboard to the backup computer, it started doing the same thing. I had been working on a computer that didn't have a problem. It was the keyboard all along. I have never seen a keyboard cause such a weird problem.

Feeling quite virtuous compared to my old boss. Turns out the reason my old manager left was because he was stealing from the shop. It was nothing to do with his girlfriend leaving him or stress he was just nicking money when doing the banking....and he seemed like such a nice guy.
Also feeling happy that a volunteer that started last week is being told he's no longer needed. He was a bit of a scumbag, had a criminal conviction for fighting. I can't be dealing with people like him. I abhor violence.
Also feeling knackered. Going to bed early. Need sleep.

Feeling paranoid/uneasy. Can't help but feel the reason I can't find a paid job is because I'm some weirdo that hangs around an Avril Lavigne fansite and someone who isn't very likable and who is destined to struggle in life.....

Sometimes no matter how experienced you are at a particular job or how well the interview goes, you still may not get that job. It's frustrating, but I think if you keep trying you'll find something soon.

Feeling happy, just had my driver's licence reissued for 5 years. That's why I initially stopped smoking cannabis, for the urine sample I had to give for a drugs test to get my driver's licence. Ended up quitting for good. Feel better for having stopped smoking pot. It used to make me feel guilty. I need to get my act together.

I think you’re a good person ben545! Confident or not you’re doing the best you can at times! It will work out I’m back home again (since last Friday the 13th) after 10 days in Sicily and still have a week off but I have that annoying feeling that I have to work again next Monday. I know I shouldn’t be thinking about this right now cause it will ruin this week and I still have a week left but I just can’t help it. I have a feeling I need so much more time for myself. Tomorrow I’m at the hairdresser and mostly will sit there for like 6-7 hours so that will also take a lot of time and then it’s already Wednesday... time will fly

I feel like shit... have symptoms like I get the flu and work has just started again (for the next 11 days I'm at work again) and had a huge fight with my boyfriend yesterday... just great.. I can be very happy about if Avril is coming to Germany tho. It would make my day so much better tbh.
