Sundays come round way too quickly for my liking, means the time is going by quicker, and I don't particularly like the day, which is a bit of a shame as therefore I don't like one seventh of my life,if you add in bank holidays then I guess its more than that, really there is probably a lot more of my life I don't particularly like.  I suppose people would therefore say why not change it, I guess I would if I could, its not that easy really, most people don't like change and it probably gets harder to include into your life, the older you get.  I have started to play music with a few new people and have noticed there is gentleman there who is shall we say getting on.  He also seems  to want to play the same songs mainly every week, I guess he is comfortable doing that and to change is anything in the situation for him is not going to be easy, I guess if it works for him, he can't see no reason to change, the only problem with no change in this situation, is that th...

I went to the hospital on Tuesday regarding this noise in my ears, not sure it will be any good, anyway its really bad today, its hard to control, hard to find relief when its this bad.  I guess it doesn't help, the fact that I have nothing to do right now, and a job does not look like its going to happen soon, i have thought about this volunteering lark, but I can't get motivated, but it would probably help in relation to getting a job, I will have to get my head round it I guess, its going to be a long old process. I have been trying to learn to to play Drift Away by Dobie Grey, on guitar, but the intro is really difficult to get, it doesn not seem to fit with the rest of the song,  well I don't get it anyway. I guess I will just keep banging away until I get it.  I still haven't heard from anyone regarding the mould on the paint, it its like any of the requests I have made regarding this place, I will never get it sorted, its so frustrating living here, when nothing ...

I received a new router from talktalk the broadband supplier, the other day and I can't get it work wirelessly, which is a pain as the ethenet cable is only short, I rang the talktalk thing and they could not manage to sort it, so they passed it on to some engineer who I assumed would ring me back at some point, well I waited and waited and nothing happend, so I rang them again, and apparently there was no fault reported, this company is really shoddy, I am stuck in a contract with them for another 10 months which is a pain, I could pay that off and go somewhere else I guess but its too expensive, I feel a bit trapped and stuck in this shit company, I think I got duped in getting a contract with them, got wore down by some shitty telephone person. The paint work on the kitchen wall has also gone funny for some reason, there are black marks on it, which I can only assume to be mould, I have reported it and hopefully it will get sorted soon, well sooner than the other problems round ...

I did not manage to get the job, I got a phone call telling me the bad news, the excuse given was that I did not know enough about the role, well not as much as someone else, which is probably true.  The whole process was a bit mad really, I didn't even finish the application form properly, but still got an interview, maybe they pulled my name out of a hat.  I would have liked to do the job, it sounds interesting but I don't have a licence so I guess I would have found it difficult to get around. The post person, talked to me this morning and said she had put a parcel in through the window yesterday, I knew this as I had come across it, at first I was a bit confused, not sure where it had come from but saw the open window, I am not sure the people working for the post should be throwing things through window, she was hoping there was nothing that could break in it, she should have checked that first I would think, maybe she was trying to be helpful, by saving me the effort of g...

This situation is awkward to talk about really.  I had an interview today for a job, I had to go to the new hospital for it, which was no hardship as its not too far away, I have had to go further for an interview.  The job was titled enablement officer, and it was working for the social services.  The job basically entailed helping people get back to an independant life after being hospital, after suffering something like a stroke.  I was quite surprised to get an interview really as I had not even finished filling in the application form properly.  Anyway I managed to get one, I think I got one on the grounds that i have a disability, I am visually impaired, which leads to problems regarding getting around, mainly I don't drive, but it did not say that a driver was necessary, on the application form so applied, but I was sure that you needed to be mobile, well more than I am anyway, but it was worth a go. I have a disability like I say, and I think I got an interview because of ...

Well it looks like we might get a bit of a summer, well apparently its nearly over, its been here for over a week now, and how wonderful it has been too, no more cold, no cowering from the wind and rain, it hasn't been too hot either just nice, and its the same today, the pic is of a few clouds which cover the sun now and then. I managed to get back online this morning after a load of hastle yesterday, where I did not manage to achieve it, due to having trouble understanding the person on the other end of the line and me being tired after a really crap night out on Friday. The connection is a bit jumpy hopefully it will settle down soon or I will have to try to reset it or something, hopefully I will not have to ring up the helpline again, as I am not sure how much it costs. I was not sure what to do with this fine day today, whether go for a walk or something but I haven't done that so far, just done some house chores and things, sometimes you feel under pressure to make the m...
