I found managing a Wordpress blog, a Tumblr blog and a Twitter account a bit too much.
I’m going back to just be using my Wordpress blog and my Twitter account to share.

I almost had it.
This morning I felt okay, but mostly because I knew I wouldn’t be on the phone as we were having a written test today. We had to go on the phone the last 45min, but for some reason it just went down hill from there.
Managed to take two calls, as I dragged out the time between to, trying not too go available. I hate being like this and I really hate my job.
This is not why I came to Australia. I didn’t come here to work in yet another call centre that just drags me down in the mud.
Had a really good idea for an article, but now I just don’t have the motivation to write it.
Can’t afford to resign either, so I’m trapped at this job; until I get a new one…
Who said that?
For the last week, or maybe even two, there have been a few moaning posts on my Tumblr and Twitter account. I could pretend my accounts got hacked, but they didn’t. It was me, but really not, if you understand what I mean.
I honestly don’t know what to do right now.
At the moment I honestly don’t know what to do. I finally got a job, but it’s not what I hoped it to be. It sounded great, but it I’m back doing the same old thing; taking calls for a company that expect me to teach myself.
Some of my friends have called me an autodidact as I easily can teach myself things, that I have an interest for. That is if I’m given the adequate material and time I need to do so. Throwing me out in the deep-end and hoping I’ll eventually get my head above water doesn’t work well with me.
As I’ve mention earlier is that the good thing that has come out of this is that I’m extremely motivated to go back to school now.
I’m hoping to get my school papers very soon so I can finally apply and get a degree and get a real job.
I don’t want to into detail about my new job, but it has a really horrible affect on my IBS. I’m also quite moody lately. At the moment I don’t know if I will get accepted at school, and I’m not sure how easy it will be to find a new job.
This is far from a job for an introvert. Being told that you have to dress a certain way and speak a certain way on the phone. I’m sorry, but I’m not a yes-man.
At the moment I have no clue what I’m going to do. We need money and I still haven’t been able to pay off my BMX. At least with the BMX I would get out more and have fun.
So far life in Australia hasn’t turned out as I expected it to be.
I’m doing the same thing I did in the Netherlands, just for less money and a lot more stress.
Live long and prosper.
To all you kids out there, stay in school!
Note: As you can see, my tumblr is a bit more personal.
To blog or to idle, that is the question.
While I’ve been running around this morning, trying to get things done so we have moderate clean apartment when 1azylizzie comes home from the RSPCA, I’ve been playing around with an article I’ve wanted to write for some time now.
What annoys me now is that I really feel I’m back at work again. Weekends are too short and I’m too tired to do anything productive. Just trying to do lazy and relaxing activities. I do find writing relaxing, or I wouldn’t be writing this, but when I want to write an article that is less personal and more informative I want to do a really good job. At the moment I don’t feel I have the mental energy to do it, because I need to recharge my batteries more as I will be on the phones the next whole week.
I will have another cuppa and think about it though.
This is not my weekend.
Earlier this week I was moaning about not feeling to well, and generally feeling very very very odd. That kind of passed on Thursday and mostly on Friday. Today, Saturday, has been a bit odd. No, it has been very odd.
I felt okay this morning, just very dry in the mouth and a bit tired. No big deal, I thought. During the day I’ve been blowing my nose randomly, but I haven’t felt like I’m coming down with something; like you usually do.
Now I think that feeling is here. I don’t feel feverish, but I feel far from okay. I’m not surprised I wakeup tomorrow with a heavy cold tomorrow. Hopefully a cold only of course, as I hope it’s not the swine flu.
Seems like I’m back to the old routine again. Working Mon-Fri and not getting any rest during Sat-Sun.
At the moment I’m not motivated for anything. I’m getting a bit sick and tired (mentally) of having all these setbacks since we arrived in Oz.
That’s enough ranting for tonight. I will at least be tweeting tomorrow.
Not sure I will be blogging, which I hoped to do.
Am I reallly too busy?
After starting my new job it seems I’m blogging and tweeting a bit less, mostly because they have a ‘no private Internet use’ policy; and no open wifi around where I am.
If I only had wifi access I could at least tweet in my breaks. At the moment I’m thinking about getting an iPhone (when I can afford that) or wait for the Nokia N900 to be released. I think The Nokia N900 is a bit more interesting, even if I will miss the Kindle app.
Before I plan to get a new mobile/tablet, I will focus on more important and realistic things; like installing FreeBSD 8.0 (STABLE), when it’s released.
