A Long-overdue, Long-winded, Long-in-itself, Post

Right now, where to begin...it's been nearly a month since I last posted, work of all things!, and I thought it best that I have a good update now, since I may not be able to for a while. Rolling on in, my relationship with Sonia has ended. She struck the blow because she thinks I'm an workaholic. I'm not, merely a man who is putting in the extra shifts, just so that Sonia and I can go do things and see places without having worry about anything else. She still didn't like the fact that work tied my hands for pretty much most of the seven day week, only meeting up on a sunday morning, then me disapeering off to work the late shift. I'm not one to complain, but in all my life, I have never heard such half-heartedness in all my life. When we wern't together, we would speak on the phone nigh on constantly, countless texts and emails, it wasn't as if we was not in contact with each other. Maybe it's just me, Maybe it's just that old paradigm at work. I can never be sure.

Moving on I am moving on Monday to a new flat closer to the town centre, and, admittedly, my work. The rent is cheaper, though, and it's in a nicer area. I need to buy some new furnishings though. My fridge took a beating when I moved it the other day. It sort of got...dropped down some stairs. It's costing a small fortune as it is with labour costs, giving my mates a few bob here and there to give a hand, plus a wide variety of takeaways. As well as the usual things like paint, flooring, locksmiths, etc.

I'm now promoted to assistant manager of the pub I workat, sort of. It's more like an under study to the managment, but my wage goes up a bit, and my hours smooth out a little. Only a little though, I still have to take on the extra shifts to keep the place going.

Now, I know in a previous post I said I'll try to get that video of me in the kebab shop, but to no avail. Never mind though, it wern't excactly a ground breaking routine.

So that's all for now, a bit shorter than I thought, but it's been quieter than usual this past month considering it's the holidays.

Night all.

Questioning....

I recently took on a ton of extra shifts at work due to someone leaving. At the time things were steady. After a few weeks though, Sonia decided to break up with me. She said to me that I paid more attention to work than her. She's half right. Yes I took on the extra hours, but I only did because the money involved would of meant the two of us would be able to get away at the end of the month. She also said that when things settled down a little bit in my life, we could maybe try again. The thing is, I doubt it. An old friend of hers has been sniffing aroung lately. Now that we are apart, he might just get the idea to make a move.

On the other hand though, I got what I needed. Disruption. Chaos to the order of things. It's nice to have it, yet, as other things have showed me in life, it came at a price. It always does with me. It don't feel like a karma sort of thing though. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's just life's way of doing things.
