Headache

I haven't had a headache for such a long time...but I've had a really horrible one for the last two days. I was saying to Dan just on Monday how much I am enjoying not having headaches anymore. Damn.

Work is going really badly too. I have lost all interest in it, and no matter how much work I do no one notices. And to top it all off nicely, this awful man keeps harrassing and bordering on bullying me. But I really don't know what to do, even though I have been here nearly three years I'm still just a temp, so if I complained they don't have to do anything and could sack me and brush it all under the carpet if they want to.

I hate that 8 hours of my life every day is spent/wasted here.

I really want that to change, and I'm trying to write up a business plan for an absolutely amazing business idea, it's just when I get home I am so drained and fed up from this job I can't bear to do anything.

In other news...I'm seriously considering respraying my bike sunshine yellow and getting all nice tan leather accessories. I just don't know how to go about respraying a bike...

  1. I know the feeling of being stuck in a job you hate and not having the energy to get yourself out of it. I think awful jobs are designed that way. I hope your headache goes away soon.

  2. This is echoing EXACTLY how I feel about work at the moment, the bullying thing, I totally get, Im a permanant member of staff and I am scared shitless of 'dobbing' anyone in. Its shit, just keep plodding along, and remember its just a 'means to an end'. I wish I could just sew, bike and bake for a living, rather than working for a company who couldnt give a shit if you got knocked over by a bus tommorrow. Gggggrrrr.

  5. I feel for you. I was in that position a few weeks ago until I quit. I'm not sure if it really was the best thing to do as now i have no job, i'm still interning at another place where i really should be paid and if i don't get another job i might have to go on the dole.

    Hope it works out x.x.x.
