So for those of you who don’t know, I lost my job this week. I’m not that upset about it - I see it as a chance to do something better with my life. After all the work and effort I put in, going to California all the time (which some would say is quite glamourous, but don’t realise that it really took it’s toll on me and my relationship with Gemma), putting in countless hours of overtime (most of which I never applied for because I didn’t mind), it turns out that the company really didn’t appreciate me for how much I did for them. It was only in July that they started paying me what I believed was a decent salary for the amount of work I put in, and that was only because I found another (better paid, I might add) job somewhere else and they wanted to keep me. However, it was too little, too late. At the time I found that new job, I asked for three things to be changed, two of which they did not honour. Therefore, perhaps selfishly, the other I did not honour in return. Towards the last month of my employment there, I totally lost interest in the job. At the end of the day, in my opinion, they took the piss. I remember at my disciplinary my manager stating that he did not think I was committed, which enraged me totally. I really could not believe he had the audacity to say something so ridiculous, considering the immense amount of work I put in to them, which it turned out meant little to nothing to them. I was just a “resource” to them, nothing more.
Well, my apologies for that little rant. Anyway, now I am searching for a new, more rewarding job, hopefully closer to home. Gemma and I have started tidying the house properly now, and gotten the months worth of washing out the way (eww!). The living room is looking a bit neater now, and hoovered. I intend to use this opportunity to sort a few things out, including our finances, as well as generally living a bit better.
I’ll be going to France next week to see my parent’s new house, as well as to chill out for a bit. Me and Marc will be filming a little horror short tomorrow which should be fun! Also, tomorrow evening is Turisas, and hopefully I’ll see lots of people there. However due to the stupid no re-admission policy that the Wedgewood Rooms frivolously maintain, I’ll probably be staying in the Edge of the Wedge until Turisas play - no offence to Abgott you must understand.
