A Day of Pure Nothing

After enduring the end of another era yesterday, I needed a big sleep. Just to bridge a gap between the bad times and the new bad times, and I did. I slept 10 hours, woke up for a few hours before realising there was nothing to be awake for, and went back to sleep. Yep, pure 100% laziness.

The end result? I ended up being awake at 3.30am, an hour which I am used to being awake at, but not at home with nothing to do. And I'm afraid that is going to be the story of my day. It is currently 6:47am, and I have run out of things to do. I have literally nothing. I'm listening to the same music playlist over and over and over again, I have been for the past few hours, in between a bit of scarce Dr.Who DVD watching and checking my 1 e-mail.

"We have new vacancies!", it said.

Just a shame these vacancies are for people with experience. Offering salaries at £50k+ with benefits and a company car. If only. I can't really see the point in looking for a job. It sounds childish and insolent, but there are 2 options in this job hunt. Get a full-time office job, being bored witless for 8 hours, 5 days a week, or get a part-time office job and be bored witless for 8 hours, 3 days a week. I have applied for a couple of the latter, but I don't see the point in sitting there for 40 hours a week, just so I can say I'm respectable. I can live without a job, it will just be incredibly dull, but I'd rather that at the moment, than be somewhere where I just want to go home.

And if you're thinking, "Don't get an office job then", just think about what you're saying.

I don't really like the attitude of everyone either. I don't mean it in a cruel or crude way, but the family especially, in the brief time I saw them yesterday, mentioned the word, "unemployed", at least once a minute. They're pointing out the obvious, quite frankly, and trying to get me out the house so I don't annoy them much. It's how it is, I suppose.

Not as if I have a week of pure nothingness. I look forward to the first indoor cricket net session tomorrow evening, I'm refereeing on Thursday evening, if the weather doesn't be a Brazilian or an Australian and on Sunday, I have my usual quota of football plus a possible fixture to officiate on in the afternoon. So it's not a week of nothing, just today...

It's going to be rather long.
