Still no news regarding an interview...
Then in a most roundabout way I find out that if they do indeed happen, it'll be much later than planned. Way to go, chain of command.

Did I mention I have another two, TWO, inquests coming up in the next few weeks! 

Can you imagine how stressed little ol' me is? Well can you punk?


(ps. in a return to classic theme of old, I went for a haircut yesterday, and it's truly dreadful. I've spent most of the past 24 hours willing it to grow out slightly faster...)

Hello there.

My interest in "blogging" is waning, but you probably guessed that. Posts are less frequent, and blander and blander than ever.

Next week hopefully I'll have a job interview. More on that at a later date, In all its potentially ungory detail.

A couple of weeks ago Billie suddenly, out of the blue wanted to go to York, to do some holiday shopping. So £30 of petrol later, We bought nothing.
However I did twist my ankle rather badly. I simply went over it, and fell into the road, near Marks and Spencers, if that's of any interest.
Heaven knows how I managed to drive home. It was swollen and bruised for days, and still still hurts. my main annoyance is rather than my already shot right ankle it was my relatively pristine left, I'm so old...

Billie has been in Tenerife for well over a week, with only one brief message in that time, I'm reflecting on just how alone I am in the world. When she goes to University next year, I shall be so bored (even more than today? is that even possible?), and lonely, well let's worry about that then shall we?
I'm on holiday for a week, and 3 days into it I am so bored, I cannot describe the tedium.  (well I could but that would be even more tedious).
I've therefore had even more sparetime than usual.

All alone, all weekend, I watched virtually all of Season 6 on "True Blood" in one go, and you know what? it was actually pretty good, preposterous of course, but fun.
"Breaking Bad" continues to excel, but "Dexter" has jumped the proverbial shark, goodbye old friend.
I watched "The life and death of Colonel Blimp" and blu-ray last night, whay a wonderful, sentimental, but surprisingly modern film. That means of course I must watch "A matter of life and death" very soon.

I've been so tired and sleepy recently, then a few days ago I started taking my antidepressants at night and wham bam, I'm sleeping all night, and awake during the day.

Only seven weeks until we go to Florida, and thankfully, after five long weeks, it's finally payday this week, here's hoping...

My name is trouble... from yakkowarner on 8tracks Radio.

It can't be reasoned with. 
It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. 
And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead...

As you probably guessed my lack of posting was simply due to my lack of having anything to write. I have and continue to be quite unwell, at least mentally, but what else is new?

Billie and I are off to Florida in October. I've paid for the holiday itself, but heaven knows how I'm going to afford the tickets, spending money et al...

I've applied for a new job, of sorts. Junior charge Nurse on the new assessment unit to be, I can do it for sure, but will I even get an interview? stay tuned.

Since last we met, I've watched the whole first season of "Orphan Black" and loved it. I've given up on True Blood Season 6 after two episodes, I'll catch up one day I imagine.

I wish I had more to say, but alas a duller life you'll never come across. Much wine has been drunk , and pizza consumed, but not a lot of life has been lived...

Oh deary me, tonight you find me very very very intoxicated, if you were here there would be no question I would not answer openly and honestly, but you're not, so ya boo sucks...

Somehow for three consecutive days I forgot my antidepressants, and all it's reminded me is how messed up I am, I feel quite quite awful. I really cannot face the end of my medication, but end it must, I suppose.

I haven't seen Billie in well over a week, how  I miss her. She was away at Tea in the Park  , near Glasgow, for several days, her first music festival.
Whilst super groovy for her, miserable for old Dad. It means I haven't spoke to anyone who's not me for very much quite a while, and to be honest, I'm quite sick of the sound of my own (thankfully still internal) voice.

Work continues to implode. Busier and busier, busier and busier, plus the inevitable collapse of my familiar routine. Don't get me wrong, I haven't felt this wretched in quite the longest of times.

I'm trying to think of an upside, er, nothing, nothing....

Be seeing you?

I can't make you love me... from yakkowarner on 8tracks Radio.

I just can't seem to get properly drunk anymore. A bottle of wine tonight and all I feel is pensive. I dread stopping the anti-depressants, as someday soon I must.

Work is in such a turmoil, all is change, and sadly not for the good. Plus I have to attend a second inquest soon, I hope the coroner doesn't recognise me!

On the upside I have about half the money saved for another trip to Florida with Billie. We both acknowledge that this will probably be the last holiday we have together, probably forever, so hang the expense, i have a new passport and a credit card, let's go for it (in October).

I'm so very bored, but of course the tablets keep petty worries at bay, but I'd like someone to talk to that isn't me or you. If that someone was a lady, even more interesting, but of course this will never be.
 

Regrets? I've had a few... from yakkowarner on 8tracks Radio.
