I'm just a girl who can't say no, I'm in a terrible fix...

[skylarking]

I forgot to turn my alarm on last night, so when I woke up and rolled over this morning the red number on my clock told me it was the time that I usually leave the house.

Oops.

But I decided that there was no point getting stressed about it, there was nothing I could do to stop me being late, so heigh-ho.

But funnily enough, despite the extra sleep I still feel really grouchy this morning. Call me Oscar.

I'm getting stressed about moving. The logistics of it are doing my head in. I've registered with an employment agency, but attending interviews is a problem, it would be easier, obviously, if I lived there, but I can't leave full time job and move all my stuff across the country without knowing that I'll have some source of income – landlords like that sort of thing.

It's confusing and it makes me want to go back to bed.

I need a bright idea but I'm completely out of inspiration. Does anyone have a bright idea?


I've had a cup of tea and a Mars Bar and feel less grumpy. I fucking love Mars Bars – they should be available on prescription.


I dreamt I played Ado Annie in a production of Oklahoma last night. It was fun.

Bright idea 1: Eat another Mars Bar.

Bright idea 2: I'm afraid that's my quota of bright ideas for the day/week/month used up.

There are job agencies up here you can register with who will look for work all over Scotland (or in the cities at least) for you. You still have to travel for interviews, but at least your agency is local. Maybe there might be something similar near you? It means at least they can try to line up interviews together - say a couple in the same day - rather than you having to travel back and forwards every time.

I take it your current boss isn't one of these happy clappy "we want to see you progress" type employers who'll be supportive of your move? I say: take a lot of sick days when you need to for interviews. It'll be a pain in the arse but all worth it when you're happily ensconced in your new life, honest :)

My boss is nice and I have plenty of holiday so I'll just have to take days off.

It is do-able really it's just that it all feels overwhelming sometimes and it can be difficult to stay pro-active.

Thanks *smooshes*
