I don’t usually mention work in my writing but something happened that I just have to mention.
Someone said something to me at work yesterday that upset me. I know I shouldn’t let it bother me , but it did all the same.
We were working and he casually mentioned that one of his friends didn’t like me at all. I was rather surprised as I work with this guy and I had never got that vibe from him. I looked at him in horror and I think he realized that I was shocked and upset by what he said.
“Didn’t you realise?” he said.
No, I didn’t. If I don’t like someone I make it fairly obvious that they’re not my favorite person. There’s no point in being fake and pretending to be all chummy with someone when you can’t stand and I’d like other people to extend the same courtesy to me.
I know I’m coming across a bit whingy , and I don’t mean to be. Why am I even letting this get to me? Perhaps I want to liked a bit more than I always thought which is a bit of a surprise. I wouldn’t have thought tat I craved approval from my peers like that.
Anyway, let’s move on, shall we? What else has been going on since I last posted. I haven’t been too well and had to take some time off work which will probably make a dent in my always awful finances. I’m still job searching but so far nothing’s coming up.
I’ve started doing a bit more writing at home, which is good. So far, I’m still trying to decide on my NaNo idea and I think I’m close to making a decision. I want to get as much research done as I can and work out the plot so when it comes to the time it should make life a bit easier to just get on and write. I’m limbering up by giving myself a 500 word count goal and when I’ve cracked that, upping it to 1000 then 1500.
For the first time in ages, I’ve got a Saturday off which is very rare for me at work, so I might go round my friend’s house and talk to her. I don’t know what I’d do without her. She really does keep me on a even keel and if I go round and I’m upset about something she helps.
Mum’s coming back soon , and I think it’s going to be a bit weird having her back as I’ve got used to being by myself. Oh well.
