Eighty-sixth
So here we are on new year’s eve and what have we achieved in the past year? Pretty much nothing. I finished my script which was supposed to be done last year and after that I didn’t actually start a new one. Still busy with all the conceptual work.
I see this year a bit as a lost year though, of course no one could have predicted the situation with my mother but those are facts of life. I’m just hoping next year will be better, though my expectations aren’t that high honestly. I need a new way of thinking about life I guess, new year’s to a lot of people is a new start. I always see it as a day where I can reflect on the past year and see what I didn’t do, so what I could have done.
Plans for the new year…… Same as there are now really, try and lose more weight, find a new job, finish another script. Note that these are plans, not resolutions. I don’t really do resolutions even though they are very similar to plans. I don’t really need the new year to make plans like that, I plan them anyway. Though I did put script work to a lower activity until the next year just to get my mind around to it a bit more.
Another step in project make my place a more inspirational environment, I finally ordered some posters for my walls. Only two for now but it’s a start. Sort of stupid that to this day my walls are still plain white with nothing on them. So a couple of posters just color up the place a bit. Still need to do more organizing as well though, still not sure what to do with certain things though. All in due time I guess. They are custom posters, basically took pictures from the internet and I’m having those printed. Works better than just having a limited choice of posters in a store. Though I still have to wait and see the quality of the printing service, it’s also a bit of an experiment.
I hope they don’t arrive today though, seeing I’m at my mother’s place for a couple of days and not at home. On Monday they asked me to work today but I decided to decline. Sure I only have one paid day this week in that case but I guess I’m taking a miniature break. I’ll be here until Sunday or Monday so it just gives me a couple of days to relax a bit. Next week I have four shifts so it will be busy enough then, that while to begin with they only gave me one shift. They need more people than they thought at first, sort of stuck them with a bit of a problem though. Not that I care, I’m still going to try and find a new job. My problem just is that I don’t want to just take anything. Though a dream job is a bit much to ask for in the current economic climate.
Perfect solution for now would actually be to win the lottery, just sucks that the odds of that are so small (and yes, I do play in the lottery every week). Not that money buys you happiness, in my situation right now it just takes a lot of worries.
Well, lets just hope that 2010 will be better than 2009.
