Brief Recap

I thought, in good old Duncan style, that I'd recap over the past year and moan about it (believe me, if I had anything more interesting to say, I would)...

Roughly a year ago, I moved back to the big city to find fame and fortune (Dick Whittington-esque, minus the cat). Since then, I've moved house 3 times, had 5 jobs (including my brief period at Sky, a couple of days working at a conference and my pending job at O2), and been 4 months unemployed (yes, 4 months; 2 periods of 2 months - that's one third of the year, for all those who can't do basic maths). In addition, the previous year consisted of 7 months of final-year university stress, and then around 5 months of doing very little (through choice admittedly, but perhaps not the best idea). There was also a relationship which went wrong, for various reasons - that didn't do me any favours, mentally.

There were small things as well; being without heating for months during the Winter period, falling out with Estelle (my first flat), being constantly anxious about Shagger not paying rent/bills, fighting with Shagger (2nd flat), those stressful long shifts at Goldfish, and not to mention I've had 9 interviews in the past month or so and been rejected for nearly all of them. Ironically the job I've been offered didn't even require an interview!! There's still the worry of whether Shagger will pay off the bills from the previous flat, so I can get my deposit back from Edzell - there always seems to be something to cause stress. Such is life.

My point is, given events in the past year, it's no wonder my head's messed up!

Ok, it's off my chest now. No more moaning. For your pleasure, here's a picture of an alsatian...

I would say I need a holiday, but no, not now - what I need is stability and regularity. Oh, and some money would be nice, also.
