Break Time
It's been quite a while since I last posted to this journal. After I handed in my notice, things got quite hectic at work as I tried to leave everything in some semblance of order. Three other members of staff left in the meantime and still haven't been replaced, so we were struggling just to keep the place open.
The last couple of weeks were particularly crazy and I hardly had time to think about the fact that I would not be there much longer (which was probably a good thing). I was sending e-mails right up until the last minute and I'm sure I've left a right mess for my replacement.
Well, it's too late to worry about that now. I have been not-working for a week and it's not too bad so far. I've been doing housework and getting a lot of sleep - just what I need. I do miss my ex-colleagues of course but my best friend has been e-mailing me so I have some contact at least.
I was concerned that I might end up sitting around playing games on the iPhone and not doing anything else. Well, I'm not exactly rushing around but I'm doing the washing, sorting boxes and other stuff. I'm liking it at the moment although I wouldn't want to be a housewife for too long!
A lot of people thought I might get bored at home but I knew I wouldn't. I have a disturbing capacity for distracting myself after all. And, right now, what I need is to be performing tasks that require little concentration or mental input and that have a visible result. It's a nice change!
This post is getting a bit long now, so I'll leave the rest of my thoughts for a separate entry. Now that I have more time on my hands, maybe I'll update more often. Maybe...
