Caption Competition

Whilst walking home, I resembled one of those caption competitions. Or "Guess what this guy is thinking!" and I'm afraid my face and posture were not positive..

Captions I came up with for myself were, "Slave Labour" and "This Isn't Where He Wants To Be". The second one is self-explanatory. I don't want to be at BP. I knew that when I started but I left myself without a choice, due to making all the wrong choices in the past year. I should have worked harder at my A-Levels, I should of gone to university and I should be towards the end of my first year training to be a Primary school teacher. The truth hurts. I know people will say, "You can still go" but with grades like mine and the optimism of a goat about to be put to the slaughter, my future lies in dead-end jobs or maybe a career as something unpredictable. The stories I hear from people at university are always good and full of fun and endeavour yet I put myself in the position of not going and having to endure going to work back-breaking shift after back-breaking shift, for what feels like, at the moment, nothing. Hence the first caption.

People say, "think of the money" or "think of when you get to go home", but when you haven't been paid yet, and won't for another month and also know you're not Doctor Who, those 2 things become irrelevant. The only thing I have to keep positive at the moment is the promise of 6 days off next week so I'm trying to think about that as much as possible. However, I didn't get the bollocking I had expected and just a quiet word in the manager's office from ... one of the managers.. I had to sign something that looked suspiciously official and then went on with my work. I had a lot to do this evening and time went relatively quickly, as it does when you're busy and then walked home without a lot more fuss. Yep.. still walking... I want my car back!

So, middle of the working week for me. Football training later and then back to work with the moron. I must keep positive..
