This entry will cover a period of over a week. On Sunday, just after my work shift ended, I went to my mothers house as we planned to get Thai food but due to her back/leg, she insisted on getting a lift there, my sister was the one who drove. I found this a little frustrating. We met my youngest sister there, the one who is excommunicated from the family, she’s still attending university but money is tight for her. We sat down and ordered, none of us finished our meals, I took the leftovers home. We then had to wait for my sister to give my mother a lift back home.
This frustrated me again as my mother was in a bit of a mood even when I tried to help by finding a bench she could sit on. We took some photos in the China town, I also noticed my mother craftily taking pictures of me, likely on orders by my father. The guy my sister is going out with picked her up, I got a bit of a look at him through the car windows from a distance, he looks skinny, a bit chav like. My mother commented on how quickly my sister ran towards his car.
The following day I had my flu jab, the Boots store seemed quite disorganised. There were quite a few foreign people around, two Pakistanis looking for paracetamol and an African without a mask who had Covid symptoms. The day after, my cousin succcesffuly managed to arrange afternoon tea, it was at an Alice in Wonderland themed tea room in the gay village. It was a very nice day out and we had healthy portions of food, it was me, my cousin and our mothers, they complimented my new Karl Lagerfeld top.
The following two days saw me working, I had to go back to the office for training on the new system. It was a great two days, I loved chatting with my work colleagues in person again, it was the big guy, the taxidermy woman, and this guy from the Caribbean who I speak to regularly and get along well with, we were on opposite shifts until I switched over. There was a lot of chatting, joking and fun, it’s a shame that it was just 2 days and I regret that I didn’t make more of it, I wanted to do some work and learn the system.
Two more days of work after this, at home, my manager said he got a new job that pays less, he has taken it because he is sick of management here questioning why targets are not hit and the new job will make it easier to apply for a Spanish visa for his Mexican wife. We didn’t talk much and he disappeared mid-shift, shortly after I stopped sending him messages. Not sure why that was, I’m less concerned about his leaving now than I would have been before, we haven’t seen each other in months and only have 1 shift together, we also have little in common. I might be able to get his job, a couple of co-workers have said I’d be a good one.
I would very much like a PS5 and I check if they’re in stock regularly. I mostly just want to be able to play video games without the extremely loud fan.
