The Beginning of the beginning

So, it has been a while, little blog. Once again I am very sorry to neglect you for such a long time. I can assure you it is not your fault. You are a good little diary. One that tolerates my madness and strife and wishes nothing more than to make my life more organised and sensible.
On that topic then, I have some good news.

As part of my new life-change. I have committed myself to writing an entry into this diary every day.
This blog will become my proper journal, filled with my thoughts and feelings on the course of my life. I have always intended this to happen when I first created this blog but the slow decline in my writing and the lack of self-confidence to publish even the smallest of sentences meant that I had immediately push down on the brakes before even starting the engine.
So, let’s get the ball rolling.


Today is my second to last day off my current job. I have to work this evening till 11pm, head home, catch a few Z’s before returning promptly at 6:30 to start the early shift. To be honest, these kind of shifts are frustrating as hell, simply because the pressure you are under in order to get some rest so you can be fresh and ready for the next morning. This never works out for me, I am too much of a worrier. I worry whenever I step away from the job, knowing that the smallest thing can derail the entire thing for me the next morning. Thankfully, nine times out of ten, this is never the case. But it does happen.
Anyway.
I have been spoilt rotten by the chef here this evening. He’s such a sweet guy. I’m gonna miss him when I go, but I have to remind myself of a simple fact. It is not goodbye, it is simply ‘Catch ya laters.’

I hate goodbyes, the finality of it all. Sometimes whenever I see someone go, I know that somewhere down the path I work, I’ll see them again. And everything will be as it should be. But then, all I have to do in the mean time is think about all the fun and excitement I’ve had with them and that’s enough to make me realise that I was lucky to have met someone like them.

Funny how people react differently to that kind of behaviour.
