| 25 Oct 08 | Don't you just hate it.. (1) | (25 Oct 08, 11:07 PM by thongadongalong) |
| ..when you're having a night when you feel particularly fierce, sadistic, nasty, bossy and creative - and there's no way to use that 'drive', no-one to target it towards. [more...]

| 13 Oct 08 | The end is near.. | (13 Oct 08, 7:18 PM by Cortina) |
| Just had 'the chat' with my landlady and flatmate of three years, telling her that unless I get the job I have applied to in here, I will be moving to pastures new at the end of the year.
Two months left, in all likelihood. I am optimistic that I can find a room where-ever it is that I am going. I am optimistic I can get a job there. I am optimistic that in two months I can say goodbye to my friends, where I volunteer, the places I loved, the places I hated. I am optimistic that I will settle in where-ever it is that I will land.

| 6 Oct 08 | Oh crap.. (7) | (6 Oct 08, 4:35 PM by Cortina) |
| In a somewhat-considered spur-of-the-moment I have quit my job this morning. The job with the office politics I hate. The job that denied me access to University this year. The job that has been the best paid job I have ever had.
The final day is on the 31st. I have bills to pay, and no new job in sight. I've just been told I cannot get my pension contributions back, which I was relying on.
I am petrified. I question my sanity after having walked away from a career. I don't now where I will end up in. [more...]

| 10 Jul 08 | Workplace mayhem (2) | (11 Jul 08, 6:46 PM by Cortina) |
| Those in the know here, and there are a few, know that I have worked with s supervisor that is known for his backstabbing and unfairness. Now he has finally gotten the promotion he was so desperately after, moved to another office (and rumouredly after 3 days wound every single person there).
You'd think it was all over. But no - as a parting gift, he has just managed to sabotage my career, and done his best to sabotage the career or another of my colleagues, only to gain something to show on his promotion application. [more...]

| 11 May 08 | Desolate (3) | (12 May 08, 10:55 PM by Cortina) |
| Another week that has ended up work-related chaos. And be forewarned, this is purely a vent because everyone I can vent to is otherwise engaged, and if I don't get this off my chest, someone will get hurt (and I don't mean in a nice way at all).. [more...]

| 25 Apr 08 | Checks and balances | (25 Apr 08, 3:48 PM by Cortina) |
| Anyone who knows knows that I'm not very good at 'doing' balanced things in certain areas of life.
I have *cough* slight tendencies to get too absorbed with work, to the point where I dream of it. Normal people dream of weird high jinxs at the office - I dream of doing paperwork, to the minute detail. [more...]
