Sorry I didn't write yesterday... I found out that I officially live under the poverty line and I was kinda overwhelmed by that news since I have never been poor in my whole life and it scared me to even think of myself as poor :p Of course I know I only get about half of minimum wages over here and I know too that I'd like to get 1.25/1.5 times of that same minimum wage to live quite comfortably but poor... BRRRR...I was imagining myself as a bag lady or morningstar already :')
Luckily for me Chi had his day off yesterday so I spent most of the day whining at him on Messenger, poor guy. He is so patient! And tries to lift me up when I'm really down... Very sweet but unnecessary because it's just something I have to go through. I like to just go with it for a bit and come out good again. And today I am feeling a lot better and more determined than ever to find a job. I sent my case manager an email telling her about the ProRail job being filled in already and my doubts about the WerkCenter and she sent me back an uplifting email. Even though I think I am really alone, there are people out there thinking of me! Which includes of course all my readers here :)
Yesterday I also emailed a friend of mine. I haven't seen her since February and had brief contact with her at times via text or email so I wanted to know where this friendship was going really. She hasn't even seen my vacation pictures yet and I've been back a while :p Well, much to my surprise she called me today. We talked for about half an hour and I asked her rather direct if she's avoiding me because the restaurant (my ex and I owned) still is a client of their accountancy firm, or because I am 'poor':p
Well, seems like the bad economy is good for them, they got a lot more work and of course she is busy with the kids and grandkids and her husband. She's going on vacation to Thailand in November and has a lot of work to finish before that. So from her side it's just lack of time. She asked me why I didn't come to their October 3rd party (ehm, I wasn't invited?). So there's a little lack of communication there too... I don't wanna impose but maybe I should just pass by her place some weekend. She's gonna try to make some free time to spend with me real soon though ;)
Always good news to get from a friend. And as I always say: 'A person that asks gets answers'. If I wanna know something, be sure I'll ask. And I don't mind whether I like the answer I get or I don't, at least I know where I stand!
And I finally got good news about my computer! Of course you don't know this but I am using my laptop ever since 'the big one' broke down. It's coming home tomorrow, with a new video card and one less physical HD. Computerguy even made me a nice price since I have been totally honest about my situation. Been missing my pc for over 2 months now. In a way I am glad though because I had to get used to my laptop and the 'straight' keyboard (I have an ergonomic keyboard on the pc).
So after one day of total sh*t life is surely looking better already :p And I wish all of you a great life too, or at least a great day ;)
