If chocolate didn't exist I would have imploded in the last few weeks. No question.
I currently hold the biggest stash of chocolate I think I've had since post christmas in 1988. I also have quite a nice selection of wines and bubbly; Getting your first house and being made redundant in the same space of a few months will do that to you. People have been so very kind.
It was my last day at work on Thursday. I will miss it alot- the people more than the work I guess. It may not have been creative but for two years I haven't dreaded going to work, in fact, I've quite looked forward to it on some occasions. It's not something I'm particularly good at- but I really hope I stay in touch with at least a few of my colleagues. The prospect of not working aside them again makes me feel immensely sad inside. Still, I've been given the opportunity to meet new work colleagues and friends so we'll see what comes of my new team.
New Year Resolutions up date:
1 and 2- works in progress. New job Monday- not so sure I'm embracing it as much as I should be... feel incredibly nervous, but I'll meet the challenge head on and kick it in the ass if I can.
3- Have added more to my LoveFilm list. I'm loving the upward trend in quality movies... after years of utter DROSS it's great to see actual cinema and story telling coming back to the forefront. Will be adding Black Swan and True Grit to the list.
4 and 5- Struggling. Not sure why... more so the latter. I think this gets worse when I feel anxious and stressed and obviously the last few months have been more so than usual.
6- Download tickets bought. Just trying to get more people to come so that it's not just me and two engineers. :-(
7- No longer walking downstairs in the dark. Done.
Now where's my chocolate box...
