Turning on the TV, reading the newspapers or listening to the radio, can all have you wanting to rip out your hair or punch your TV. There is so much happening in the world which seems to be an endless stream of death, destruction, despair and have you feeling like there is nothing you can do, it is inevitable that there will be wars, you will be locked up for voicing your mild, middle of the road opinion, and that the fate of your children looks to be like that of John Conner in Terminator.
Whilst there seems to be an endless stream of useless people paraded in front of us from the government, and other institutions with the power to make your lives even more uncomfortable than it already is there is, it beggars belief that such incompetence can seem to propel these eejits to the pinnacle of government.
Therein lies a little nugget of hope. If these fools can make it to high places (a la turtle on a fencepost) there is indeed a chink of light which illuminates the path of progress.
At times like this it does indeed seem like a thick fog of depression has covered the globe, however focussing on the things that I can control, does give me some respite and even dare I say it a little happiness, in accomplishing the small things.
Today’s happiness was swapping out a clapped out tumble dryer and washing machine with those we had brought with us when we moved in 18 months ago, making my wife feel better, and me feel better for having completed a menial task.
Taking my daughter to the golf driving range and seeing her hit it further than she ever has before and leaving with her wanting to come back tomorrow, another little light of joy.
Then to be taken back down to earth to hear I will not be “moving onto the next phase” of the interview process.
Another little dagger, being out of work is hard work!
A couple of irons still in the fire and I have also the prospect of some temporary contract work with a great company if all else fails. One which to be honest I would love to take permanent, but I will be happy to be there on a temporary basis in the short term.
Till the next time.
