Life — Ren @ 2:58 pm
I realised a few things today.
When I was at school we would sometimes get little quizzes, personality tests, that kind of thing. I remember one that we got a couple of times. One of the questions was what do you want to do with your life. (Ok I think the exact question was what do you want to be when you grow up.)
When I answered it I ran out of space.

Rants — Ren @ 5:02 am
I have about a dozen entries I thought of making. But I don’t want to. They just don’t feel right yet.
So I thought I’d have a general entry for the moment. I may put another one up today, or I may wait until tomorrow. We’ll see.
Talk about a busy week.
I’m off work sick, I thought I’d be sitting with my feet up, resting. Why am I so surprised that didn’t happen?

Well, actually I can, in fact I like it, it’s restful. I’ll tell you what I really don’t like though. Telemarketers. Or whatever it is they are calling themselves these days. I have nothing against them individually, well nothing against most of them anyway. But it seems to me for every normal human being who works in that industry, there are another 4 egotistical, power-mad idiots working there too.
My apologies to anyone working in this field. I’m sure you are one of the normal ones. But take a look around you; you have a one in five chance of being a reasonable human being. If you can find four workmates who are total Cretins, then you’re ok. If not, all I can say is “Oh dear.”

Ok, so I’m feeling a bit more like my old self.
So lets talk about… sex.
I just don’t get it. (Behave!)
I understand the theory, I understand the procedures, but I just don’t get the attitude toward sex. I look at sex as a necessary activity required for the production of offspring. (Hmm, given that I’m not a fan of children, maybe that could be the problem.)

Star Trekking across the universe. On the starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk.
There was an after they were famous show on TV the other day, they had that as one of the songs. I remember it well. Scary!
Well, I’m flat. I’m talking road-kill flat. Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday morning I was high as a kite, (still not sure why) Sunday afternoon and yesterday – totally flat. Got up this morning, looked in the mirror and I even look like road-kill!

Well job interview has been and gone.
Total waste of time.
They advertised for an Administrative Assistant. What they really wanted was a cheap typist. It was going to be 8am-4:45pm five days a week, and their top line worked out at £1000 less than my pay rate now. So I’m pretty sure they won’t offer my the position (I’ll find out either way on Friday, Monday or Tuesday) but I’m hoping they don’t. I don’t like turning jobs down. It’s funny since first starting to work for my current company, I’ve become a lot more choosy about jobs, which ones I apply for and which ones I will accept. Up until that point I had never turned down a job in my life. I’ve since turned down about 6 (either turned down the job offer, or refused to be short-listed when it’s obvious they are very keen.) I feel so strange about it. I’d never been in a position of being able to turn down jobs, but there I was, turning them down left, right and centre.

Ok so not an actually car wash, but it was the closest song that came to mind.
Early night tonight, I’ve got a job interview tomorrow. For an environmental company (looks like they monitor emissions, chemical clean-ups etc.) Sounds interesting and it’s a 10 minute walk from my house, only I have a horrible feeling it’s going to be full time.
Oh well, I’ll find out tomorrow.
Night all…

Strange day today. I managed to forget to eat. I have been hungry all afternoon, but I was sure I had eaten some cereal for my lunch. But it turns out that I only thought I had (explains why I was so hungry I guess).
Well I’ve eaten.
And I’m now hungry again.
Oh and I’m moving my journal (should be fully moved tomorrow) to here under the screen name ren, so it’ll be double entry journal keeping for a while
