British Gas made an error...

You will be reimbursed. According to my fortune cookie, and there I was thinking some epiphany about my love life would hit me.

He said I can be happy!
A memory of a good looking french boy 20 metres from the Eiffel Tower
What? That ugly thing?
A knowing smile and laugh ... you are not usual
And he is gone asleep.
Good? Bad? What did he mean?

Friday Feeling?

Goodbye to this week's temp placement; it is Friday afternoon!

I thought I would finish up the week by posting here seeing as I was able to use this office to post during the week, and post more than I had to date! However I have a very short time to do so. After a fairly quiet week I spent all day photocopying an entire rainforest and glued to the phone... I even worked through lunch so I'm starving!

After all my complaints, I say goodbye to this office and the people I met here fondly. On the whole it is possibly the friendliest office I have encountered and they all seemed genuine in their goodbyes and emails.. it was only a week! I finally felt like I knew what I was doing today after my induction, and only, week. There is a lot to be said for the confidence that comes with holding a regular job. You know who everyone is, what you are meant to do, it's comfortable but I must remind myself that like everything, I grow bored and frustrated very quickly with that feeling and that is why temping works better for me right now. My goodbyes would probably not be so fond if I was saying them in another few weeks! I don't want to commit to any job when I can't even commit to anything in my mind.

I have enjoyed writing these past few days, even though when I read over my posts I dont find them satisfactory. It's as though through writing I am facing the most truthful mirror I ever have. When I read over a post it's like I am taking a long, hard look at myself; what did I mean here? What was I trying to say? Feelings and thoughts are captured like in a photograph, they don't dissolve and ebb away when we fall asleep if we have written them down.. Sometimes you really have to discipline yourself to make yourself write, which is what I truly understood this week when I promised myself I would update more frequently, making a commentary of such on the week and my thoughts around it. It's like I almost get shy with myself and I feel awkward reading my own thoughts. But the process of writing I have found to be therapeutic when you get into the habit of it.

I am , however, pleased I have finally entered the blog world albeit privately. I have admired many blogs for a while now and the style of writing that comes with them. I have never been able to keep a diary in my life and wouldn't call myself a born writer but the feeling to write has been growing inside me for such a time now I'm happy to have this medium to do it. I found a quotation today from the wonderful Anais Nin:

" We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection"

It sums up what I have been feeling and trying to say so beautifully! So this is for all you bloggers, writers and aspiring writers everywhere. Keep writing and enjoy your weekend! (Don't you love how Anais is raising her glass to us!!)
