Having the weekend off made me feel like I was on vacation. It was such a weird feeling.
That feeling didn’t last long, anyway.
Realizing that this week I will be on the afternoon shift, killed every spark of hope in me. I will have to socialize with certain people. I will have to socialize with them for the entire week (including the upcoming team building). What’s worse is that next week, I’ll be on the afternoon shift as well. So, 12 days per total.
I don’t think I have it in me, the patience to spend time with these people. Not for such a long period of time.
If that isn’t bad enough, just found out that someone broke into our temporary car.
Our car (Volvo S80) is currently in service. It has been in service for the last 2 weeks. The temporary car is just a basic model (Dacia Logan), for John to get to and back from work. We’ve had the Volvo for 4 years or so, and no one broke into it. We’ve had the Logan for 2 weeks and this happened.
They didn’t even had anything to take from it. We don’t leave anything in the car. A simple glance through the windows would’ve confirmed this.
Did I also mention that something else broke in the house?
Yes, it is going to be one of those days. I don’t care if it is Monday or not. It really doesn’t matter. All I know, is that our week didn’t start off that well.
I am still gathering courage to go to work.

Halfway through January
cre-cre Free time, Random, Ranting Free time 0 Comments
We’re halfway through January. Nothing exciting happened. The days have passed and nothing new happened. Same old, same old.
I could go on like that for a while. I was not expecting anything dramatic to happen, nor for our life to change completely when the new year started. I was and still am fully aware that in order for something to happen, things need to be put in motion. The only way things will be put in motion is if we do something completely different.
We didn’t do anything different. We went around, doing our regular business. It is hard to change a pattern that has been going on for years. The sad reality is that the same pattern will go on for years to come. We might change a few days by doing new and different things, but at the core it will still be the same.
It sounds depressing.
I would like to attribute this state of mind to Winter.
It gets depressing this time of the year. It is way to cold. I dislike the fact that I have to wear so many layers of clothing. I dislike the fact we cannot go on road trips because it snowed so much, and the roads are not that good. I dislike having to stay indoors when we could be out and about.
I am happy for one thing. I already applied for a vacation in March. A full week of freedom from work. I am not sure if they will approve it, but I am entitled to a total of 38 vacation days (because last year we barely got a few days off). All I can do now is to wait and survive work.
