The Importance of Being Idle

The Love of Money

Another week, another grumpy blog! Todays rant will be on the subject of money, or more tellingly it's absence.
It's not really a rant as such to be honest, I'm just fed up with all this struggle! Things were supposed to get better when I got back to work, but they sure don't seem to be. I mean here we are, two weeks before pay day (give or take) and I'm completely out of money. All gone. And I'm damned if I even know WHERE it went. I suppose if I think about it I bought a couple of DVDs and some comic books when we went to London last week, but is that really enough to wipe me out completely, cos it bloody well shouldn't be! It's bad enough that I resent the way I'm being treated at work, without all that resentment not even being enough to put food on the table!
Thing I don't get is, this is the most money I've ever earned in my life (pitiful but true), there's two of us earning now, and yet the money just doesn't seem to stretch! It's almost enough to make me chuck the whole bloody thing in, it really is. What the fuck man, what the fuck?
Blah, rant over.
Y'know I really don't remember what we got up to on Monday last week, nothing amazing I don't think 'cos Ronnie was pretty wiped out from having her flu and being at work all weekend. The working week was mercifully brief as I felt like shit for most of it, although I seemed to be almost miraculously normal on Friday, which was just weird. Hopefully next week will be a bit easier. Ronnie was off work Thursday and Friday partly 'cos she was sick, partly 'cos her boss had pissed her off, but mainly (on Friday) 'cos we've had a load of "travellers" turn up out the back gate and set up camp there. I'll admit right here and now that I don't like being suspicious of somebody just 'cos of their lifestyle, but their very presence here has put everyone on edge. So far, however, they've been okay, and actually seem to go to bed before we do! That said, I'll be happier when they've moved on, just like everybody else...
Well there we go, that's the crappy state of my mind this bright and sunny Sunday morning. I need something, some guidance, some equilibrium, some... Star Wars maybe? Hmm....
