I now have a finishing date
Friday. This Friday. Two days.
Bit scary really; I’ve worked here for six years.
I’ve had three and a half weeks more than I expected, so I don’t suppose I can complain too much.
Actually I can complain about a few things, but I want to get my thoughts together
I’m not ignoring you, I promise
Things have been a bit unsettled lately, and will continue so for a couple of months. Because of this, I won’t be blogging much. Expect reviews every other week or less, and if I feel the need I might write about my mental health.
I killed a pineapple 🙂
The reason is somewhat complex. As I’ve mentioned previously,Continue reading “I’m not ignoring you, I promise”
I haven’t written for days
I feel quite agitated. This is the usual symptom of not writing enough. Continue reading “I haven’t written for days”
Update on the work situation
I wrote a post in early February, when I learnt somewhat abruptly that the factory I work at was shedding 250 jobs. I thought regular readers might appreciate an update, since I’ve been a little …odd lately.Continue reading “Update on the work situation”
Misery and hayfever
It’s that wonderful time of year again: the oil seed rape fields are blooming, soaking the air with their sick-sweet pollen scent.Continue reading “Misery and hayfever”
*Bashing my head against the fridge*
So on Monday at work we broke the first rule of politeness: never discuss politics or religion.

Fear and loathing in Lincolnshire
Today started out well; I received a letter in the post from my friend SH in Finland. I live getting and sending letters. Then I spent several hours reading before getting ready to visit another friend, E. Continue reading “Fear and loathing in Lincolnshire”
I am not a happy bunny right now
Because of this news story:
http://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-26056856
I’m well aware that by sharing this on my personal blog, and actually daring to have an opinion I could face disciplinary action. However, this is my blog so I’ll say what I damn well please. What I have written is my truth.
If any of the management are reading this, stop now and go think about what you’ve done/are about to cause. If you really think the misery you’re causing is acceptable then I pity you.
No peace all week
This morning, while I was feeling in low spirits, I wrote this rant.
________________________________
By the time I finished work tomorrow I’ll have worked nine days out of ten. And on my day off I went to college all afternoon. I haven’t had any time away from people. The result is that right now I’m physically and emotionally exhausted. I can’t escape from all these people; even when they don’t need me for anything the constant presence of other people, the constant noise, is driving me mad.
I need to get away, go somewhere quiet, with no people, for a day or so. But I can’t, I have to go to college and shopping, the library and to visit friends.
I want to cry, but crying at work is a bad idea, people start asking what’s wrong, and apparently ‘I’m tired’ isn’t a good enough reason to be mardy.
Damn it I have to get back to work now.

I apologise to anyone who normally reads my blog for my reviews. I’ve been going through some stuff lately and it’s leaked in to my writing.
You might be interested to know I’m feeling slightly better. I talked to the duty manager at my work and when I explained that I was exhausted and it wad affecting everything he was very understanding. Actually talking about why I was feeling so bad made me feel better.
Roll on 2pm tomorrow. A decent night’s sleep and I should start to feel better again.
Thanks for reading, normal service will be resumed ASAP
