Anyone who's been reading this for the past few months will know that I don't reveal too much about my private life.. or 'other life' (haha). I am always afraid of horrific things like people at work finding out and stuff. I'm also phobic of people knowing who my friends are, who I live with, exactly which days I'm away, etc.
Tonight I'm going to just write.. so no pictures.
If most people are like me - ie my eyes only scan for photos when reading blogs unless extremely interesting - then I guess this will be very boring and ignored HAH
Since being back from Prague my mood has sort of gone into a dip.. SO NORMAL after coming home from a great holiday isnt it! BUT! It's much much worse when you know you have to come back to a job that you hate too.
I sometimes let my emotions take over and go back to being 6 years old. I whine and complain and refuse to go to bed and occasionally I end up in tears because I don't want the next morning to arrive.. It's sort of like the day before the first day of school, and only ice cream can make things better!
Maybe that's why I've become so adept at looking for holidays. I'm always looking out for holiday deals and planning where to go next. It's sort of like an escape from work (you have to understand that this to me means a lot more than it does to a person who doesn't hate her job). It's become like.. my drug. In fact I'm feeling really anxious now that I've only got one more holiday lined up for the summer.
I NEED to have something for AFTER that!
Aahh.. hmm where should I go
Ok I'm shit at this
GIVE UP!
Photos of my (amazing) Prague holiday coming real soon (hohoho)

Whenever I'm not looking forward to anything in particular (and I know there won't be anything to look forward to in a long time), I always sink into a funk. It can be really depressing! The most you can do is try to keep yourself occupied with the little things in life- a trip to the park, tennis at sunset, etc... I just try to do little things to keep myself from wondering why my life is so uneventful.
Sorry your work has been torture! <3 Hopefully your next trip will erase the back-from-vacation blues.
You could consider switching jobs...
i second fieran, try switching jobs...which may be really hard...
but try anyway.
aww :( erm, erm, erm, think of the things you can buy when pay day comes? :D
*HUGS
Wow, I love your blog :) pretty photos
Thank-you for the nice comment you left and the skirt was from good old faithful Primark of course =D
mm. :/ a sucky full-time job is such a...suck. good for you that you know you need holidays and take plenty of awesome ones, though!
yes, how would it be to change jobs, to echo above commenters?
Have you read The Art of Travel by Alain De Boitton? He talks about how holidays show you what life would be like without obligations i.e. true freedom. This post reminds me of his point.
I hope you're feeling a bit better!
Fieran and other commenters who suggested switching jobs: sometimes switching jobs is easier said than done. I recently used to have a really crap job that I was stuck in because there was no other work due to the recession. Sometimes you need to stick through things as long as you can at this point in time because of how bad the economic climate is. The only reason why I left my job was because I was on a temp contract. Anyway I think Yishyene has tried to look for other work...
Hugs to you, Yishy Bishy! Set those bastards on fire when you get the chance! I will help you, mwahaha... I completely understand how you feel, absolutely soul sucking when you're not in a job you enjoy... You know when I told my dad about my job at the last place and how my boss was so horrible 2 other designers quit, he asked me why I didn't apply for their spots after I left! I told him no way I wanted to go back there though admittedly I did think about it but some parts of the job I won't be able to do because I'm not qualified. Anyway at first he didn't understand why, and said you don't have to like the people u work with as he was hinting you need a job, suck it up, etc, but that's not really the point... I really hated it I would never work with such a person again! Plus I didn't really relate to anyone as it was pointless. Oh yeah, sometimes I don't understand my dad as he often says take any job you can, even if it's crap stick with it, etc... But other times he says do a job that makes u happy but if you're not happy with the one you're in, then leave, so I'm so confused, haha!
Anyway Hun, so sorry for the long comment, I totally understand what you're going through... Keep thinking positive things knowing you're getting out of that hellhole really soon and off to better things! Live for the good things in life and screw the bastards who bring you down! We're all here for you! :D xxx
Thanks all of you for your suggestions etc
Sadly it's a bit more complicated than simply switching jobs..but I'm determined to find my exit strategy realllly soon (before this kills me!)
ana b, that book sounds interesting I'm going to watch out for it when I'm next at Waterstones or something
