...It's been hard to update this, since right now my life honestly feels utterly drab. The attempt at getting in a volunteering slot at the town library has fallen through, and right now, I feel like I am hopelessly trapped with this dreary grocery store job. I haven't even had any inspiration to write much lately, not even a fanfiction. My accursed allergies are utterly wearing me out, and I am honestly starting to hate God for letting me have this stupid Asperger's Syndrome. I wish I were like other people: I'd have a decent job or I'd be married now, I wouldn't be stuck in this horrible situation with these horrible people. I haven't posted lately because I didn't want to go wailing at you all, and here I am doing just that.

I'm sorry, I'll shut up and leave you all alone. Go on about your business, there's nothing to see here.

The grass is always greener on the other side...

There are people who were trapped in a job, who now can't find a job, or income for that matter. People who are married are splitting up. And aside from people who split up and people who are getting fired or can't get a job, I know at least 5 people who've died, and some of them very close to me.

But aside from that, I whine a lot, even though I know I'm privilidged. It's just that ... I guess I'm trying to say... everybody's going through shit lately. Hang in there?

Trust me, you think grocery work's dull, I work for the bleedin' BRITISH GOVERNMENT. Fun on a freakin' STICK, I'll tell ya! Let's just say some stereotypes are there for a reason, and the worst bit is that I can't really vent about it to anyone cos of the nature of the work.
Like I said. Fun.
And, trust me, as much as I love my family God knows there are days when I wish I hadn't got married-- that's just how life is. Doesn't say anything good or bad about a person other than, 'it's always greener on the other side of the fence' like the person who commented before said. Clichés- like stereotypes- are there for a reason.
So, get some inspiration out of your situation. Doesn't matter how dull you think it is. John Updike made a university-level short story out of what? A grocery worker being bored with his job and finding little diversions to break the tedium. (http://www.tiger-town.com/whatnot/updike/)
So-- chin up! Stiff upper lip! A stitch in time saves-- oh, wait.

Love and support,
Ruby

Please Don't Worry About Venting. We're All On Your Friends List Because We CARE. Vent Away. That's What Friends Are For. *Big Hugs*

Vent all you like -- that's what LiveJournal is for! We're your friends, and we care about what you think and feel.

It's rotten being in the "everywhere is better than here" position. Feelings are like waves on the ocean... usually, given their own time, they crest and then pass away to make way for other feelings (hopefully better ones). In time you'll feel better about things. I believe it.

*hugs*

Now what kind of friend would I be if I went and did that? Okay, so your life may suck at the moment. Just remember that there are plenty of way in which it could be worse. Plus I'm pretty sure that life is about 70% bordom at the best of times. I'm also pretty sure that nothing, no matter how tedious, can last forever. You've just got to grit your teeth and keep going, if only for the purpose of frustrating any higher (or not so higher) powers that have been trying to make your life a misery. Don't let anyone or anything grind you down (the usual way to say that is better but I don't know how you feel about swearing).
