Aspirations

Its a new year and at these time we always have new hopes and aspirations, goals that we set ourselves or may have been set by others and the majority seldom achieve any of these. We always say new year, new beginning believing that if we forget then whatever tragedies that may have occurred to us in the previous years will cease to exist in the new one. Not realising that it is these experiences that make us who we are and only from living and learning we become better people.

With this new year we have the added challenge of an economic decline, an increase in the unemployed and what looks like a new war in Israel. In my particular profession they are already calls from some of you gents for reduced prices etc etc...though I dont see how some will be able to do this especially if they work for an agency who takes a 30% cut for home jobs and a 40% cut for tour jobs...ever get the feeling that you are doing charity work. I remember when I worked for an agency my god out of 170 the agency would get 50 and the driver 25 per hour plus it cost me 30 to get to and from work you do the maths- and what if you only got on job you were fucked. It was bloody ridiculous and I remember getting to the stage where I went from thoroughly enjoying what I did to being extremely resentful of the gents and the agency. Anyhow enough of dredging up the past.

I have taken steps after returning from my 5 year sabbatical to make sure that I continue to enjoy the things that I love, giving myself the scope to further my education and explore the world a little. You see I'm very good at talking myself out of things, regardless of how much I want something give me 5 mins and I will talk myself out of it, no impulse buying here. LOL

Sitting here contemplating what adventures or tragedies will befall the world and me in the new year.....perhaps a few too many g&ts tonight.

You know what fuck it I am happy, the happiest I have been in a long time and I will not be dragged down. So I am looking forward to the New Year all of the lovely people that I shall meet along the and FU to all the bitches and bastards I shall no doubt meet along the way. But like I said before it makes us who we are so I welcome 2009 with open arms and a big kiss.

Off to stress over the fact that my allergies have returned and that my printer has run out of ink after only a month wtf. Oh and CS4 still refuses to work on my laptop moody git.

3days till all assignments are due....duh duh daaaahhh. LOL. God I am so easily amused.
