Upon pondering

Am I happy with what I have?

That depends on how you view the situation. I have a flat, I have a car that is paid off, I have a job that pays fairly, I quite enjoy my job except for the hours, I have an awesome girlfriend, I have a few flatmates and I live in the city!

The flat is a humble 3 bedroom flat located in the suburbs of Edinburgh. It isn't the most flashiest of homes, I've been getting tradesmen to do work on it for me...windows...new storage space...gas cooker...door adjustments...painting of new door frame...new front door...a drive way and generally tidying up after myself. Being in the flat for 2 months with most of the necessary work almost complete...I can say it is becoming a place I enjoy coming back to after a day at work or somewhere to zone out and chill!

Car...I love my SEAT Ibiza FR Black Edition. Sadly I am having trouble with everyone else, I live on a street where parking can be an issue and cars passing by can be very close...back in September some Jackass bandit hit my car's wing mirror cover off...no damage to the car but the cover needed a polish for the scratches and super glue to keep it on. A few days ago, I found a small chip in the drivers side...it looks like a small stone bounced off the door...very unhappy about that!

I am a waiter. I serve and talk to many different types of people. The work isn't tasking but the hours are not ideal but it does settle the bills!

Girlfriend! (Dear intergalactic lord of the Universe...I love her to bits!) I honestly can't ask for more from this amazing woman...but she holds a darker side...what she would love to do is to move in with me and find a job and start a career in Edinburgh. The problem is...she's duty bound to her parent's business...she is trying to make everyone happy but herself.

Flat mates, I've known these guys since I was in my mid teens and a fantastic bunch they are! They help out...pull their weight and ease me of some financial stress!

The city, Edinburgh, honestly...since moving here to work and live...I've seen relatively little of Edinburgh...some day I work too much and should enjoy what the city offers. They do not know of my frugal ways as I plan to initiate a "get retirement early as an option" plan. Then again...am I working too hard for something too far away?

Of all things you see and hear...do you ever think about the possible problems that the person maybe facing? Small to medium sized problems isn't going to kill you but it will sap away your energy bit by bit without you knowing.

Take home message...do things that you like and makes you happy. It need not be successful but enjoy the journey and what it is that was being done. Life doesn't stop and wait for you...it will pitch you chances...chances i  different forms and ways...it is up to you to choose how happy or sad you want to be!

Drained...

It has been over a year and a bit since my last proper break. Yeah sure I get a day off per week but that isn't enough to allow the fatigued body of mine to rest up fully. I'm already a full time short and by this time on Wednesday...I'll be one full time and a part time shorter... Don't get me wrong...i WANT to have a break but the functioning of the business has high priority too. It is one of these horrible situations where one must give up something for the greater good. I can put food on the table, pay my bills on time and purchase whatever I want with relative ease but my body is crying out in pain for rest...resting would be luxurious yet it is an option I do not have for the time being...sometimes I wonder if the plave will run without me for a week... Then again, I strongly believe that a manager is suppose to be someone who creates a system that can run itself smoothly...with OR without the person. I guess I want it to be like that juat now... Fingers cr...

Ballocking from the manager...

It was Sunday 1st September... Work usually starts at 12pm on Sunday but because it was the first day of the new reg plates for cars, everyone came into work early. As my colleagues were very busy with delivering cars to their clients on a tight schedule...I was left to do odds and ends such as greeting customers and taking them out for test drives. A couple came into the showroom and wanted to test drive a Seat Ibiza....my mentor told me to grab the company's trade plates and the keys for the requested car. So off I went to grab both items...I've been here for just over a month and know pretty much where things are or where they should be...however...I not able to find the trade plates... What happened earlier was another colleague of mine had done a test drive with a customer and left the trade plates in that car...long story short, he didn't put the keys back onto the board where they're usually kept, I couldn't find them, my manager gave me a ballocking for n...
