Childishly Happy
I've just realised my last post on here was quite gloomy. I'm much happier now so I thought I should update this, if only to confirm that I haven't jumped into the Mersey or deliberately slammed my car into an oncoming lorry on the M6 in the intervening months.
Recently I've been merrily indulging my inner child by taking it to Knowsley Safari Park and having a children's birthday party at the flat, both of which were brilliant. Also Tay got me a sunrise alarm clock, so I now wake up on time, without feeling sick. The happiness created by an artifical sunrise is even enough to outweigh the utter misery of my work and leave me comfortably numb for the whole day.
It wouldn't be so depressing if people didn't always insist on telling you why they've got into arrears. It's not even relevant. The only question is whether they can pay now, but they always feel the need to explain the position. One man today had lost three members of his immediate family within as many months. Each funeral had effectively cost him a mortgage instalment, so he fell into arrears and this morning he lost his house as well.
But anyway I'm not moaning about the job because over the next few weeks we've got Chibuku's birthday to look forward to, and then the Hacienda night at the Warehouse Project. Then I'm off to New Orleans!
