Today was my first day back at work. It was busy, but not an entirely bad day. I still left feeling like I had to ESCAPE ESCAPE ESCAPE. I need a new job

I resisted all urges yesterday to write about Australia Day on Facebook. It was.. challenging. It saddens me to see the amount of celebrations increasing as the years go by, as though this is now a day that actually means something to people. For mine, it will never be anything other than an excuse to get drunk (whilst simultaneously discriminating against the Indigenous population for being drunks) and be racist. Um.. hooray?
I'm so sorry to hear that your friends inconsiderately excluded you from their events. I'd really like to believe that they were either unaware that you were home, or planned things with people whilst you weren't around. If it's any solace, I went to bed at 8.30pm last night, and did absolutely nothing either. In that way, we did nothing.. together? :)
Best of luck with the job hunt! We spend far too much time at work to settle for anything that makes us feel the way you're describing.
(whilst simultaneously discriminating against the Indigenous population for being drunks) So true.
You're probably right about my friends. I guess I'll see how things go when I do manage to catch up with people. Early bedtimes are kind of awesome on Saturday nights anyway- it's really good to wake up early on a Sunday and have the luxury of knowing that you can sleep for hours and hours and hours if you want to, or if the mood strikes you, be able to get up and start a day of fun :)
I don't really know what I'm doing with the job hunt. I don't know what I want to do. I do know that I'm considered too old for a lot of entry-level positions- last time I tried applying for jobs as an office junior I was 22, and I'm pretty sure that most of those jobs went to 17 year olds in the end. Anyway, I do have to do something. I'm sick of this being my life.
