woooo…. update…..
I know It’s a pattern lately. I almost always begin my blog posts now with an apology… either for being miserable, or for not updating since like forever!!! I know that I wasn’t planning to abandon this blog, there are so many good (and some not so good) memories stored and recorded here. I haven’t updated in a LOOOOOONG time! As you can see, the last update was in the beginning of December, that’s Last Year!!! I haven’t updated either of my blogs in a while, my other blog hasn’t seen any updates in almost a month and hasn’t seen any REAL up to date updates in a little longer, but not as long as this one.
By the way, I got that job I was trying out for that I mentioned in my last post (ugh! In December no less!). It’s been over 4 months since I began working, a week before Xmas. It’s a lowly kitchen slave job at Ikea, but I’m not ashamed to say that I enjoy it very much. I feel very at home working in a kitchen, and the people I work with are plenty of fun to be around. Most customers are indifferent, some are pleasant, and a few are downright assholes. But that’s how it is isn’t it? That’s Life. Gotta deal with it one way or another… just get used to it. The best part is that I get out of the house, I’m not moping around being miserable and unemployed, I get to know a whole lot of great people (colleagues) and have social contact with customers on a daily basis (short as those moments may be), and our financial load is lighter now that I have my own money and no longer reach out to Kwang for anything and everything… surely he appreciates that too. The pros outweigh the cons.
I haven’t updated in a long time and truth is I have no excuses. I haven’t been bogged down with work, even though it took me over a month to adjust to my ever changing schedules and the face that I have reason for getting up in the mornings. I was dead tired after work for the first 2 weeks and spent almost all my off days in bed. But It’s not like I have no free time. I only work part time, around 4 days a week, sometimes in the mornings, or sometimes in the evenings. It takes almost an hour each way on public transport. I have plenty of free time, which I don’t spend particularly productively most days. I don’t blow my salary on payday because I now have some money of my own. I don’t Blog much. I don’t do much self study, though I should… learn more German, Learn Chinese, Brush up on Japanese etc. Instead I spend my free time sleeping in, doing groceries, laundry, house chores, then I procrastinate in front of the computer, facebook, watching TV series and anime, eating, cooking, wasting more time deciding if I want to make a day excursion out of town somewhere and never making it out the door. I’m a born time waster!!! I’m not proud of it, but there you have it… I confess to being a slob, couch potato, overweight and doing nothing much about it (ok, i do try for an occasional salad and low fat cooking sometimes).
Ramble Ramble Ramble. So much to say yet nothing to say at all. Haha! Once again I have something to look forward to though. I look forward to a holiday in Vienna. That’s in 2 weeks time… less than that actually. I’ve asked for a week off in May, from 9th - 17th, and Kwang and I will be off to Vienna. Our Itinerary is basically but tentatively planned and we’re going to take a day trip to Slovakia while we’re there. We have plans to see a Ballet performance of Romeo and Juliette, which should be great. I’m not trying to be classy or pompous by going to the ballet, but we gave it a go once in Berlin (thought it would be funny to say we went to a ballet) and really enjoyed it a whole lot more than we expected to! Vienna has a lot of culture waiting to be experienced. Plenty of castles galleries and museums. The ZOO! A theme park. Vienna is definitely the home of good coffee, and I look forward to it very much, all the coffees (ok not all… 85%) served in cafes here in Switzerland come from push button machines, so I look forward to some real stuff that doesn’t cost a fortune in Vienna. I guess deep town, my baristas training has never left me. I’m really excited about this holiday and the more I write about it now, the more excited about it I feel.
*whew* I need to wind down. Haha! I have some house cleaning to do. I leave windows open all the time at home, and the place is coated in a fine film of…. POLLEN! *ugh* No small wonder I break out into fits of sneezing when I come home. Especially bad is probably the kitchen. If it’s not yet clear to you, it’s spring time, and I’m allergic to flowers! Or more specifically pollen… which happens to be everywhere and now that it’s raining. you can clearly see a yellow rim of the gunk in puddles and other small pools of water everywhere. YUCK!
