Feels like I might not get to rank 8 in time now. We just had two days of having J's friends over from Australia - a married couple, he went to school with the husband.

Which was very interesting because with lots of discussions and a bit of alcohol, he may have let slip, while under pressure from others, that he's "planning something" and "saving up for a suprise" so everyone should stop asking him about proposals 8D

Although they came about 3 hours earlier than we were expecting on Tuesday morning. So I was going to finish cleaning up, do a bit of work and answer some emails, then come here and throw some bombs, but in the end all I had time to do was quickly tidy the bathroom a bit. Then we spent the whole time going out to meet his other friends that are still around here, having lunch with J's parents, playing dinosaur mini golf, and having fun. It was a good time but I'm behind on everything of course XD Actually this time the team stepped up really well and the issue is almost finished even though I had two days mostly off.

I'm glad she's gone but now I have to spend some more time hiring, which I don't enjoy too much. It just takes so long.

@Julez: Well, he's a guy form a band, I think it's their thing to flirt all over and not paying mind to their actual girlfriends xD

@jacob: At least it was fun and your employees manage :)
I have to say I admire you, I can't get my shit together. I should do a monthly-weekly-daily schedule(s) :mcheh:


My paternal grandma got a stroke on Tuesday. She's now in a hospital, slightly recovering, but her doctor doesn't really tell my dad much, except that they are waiting for more tests for now.

On slightly lighter note, I got a referral to an internship for almost no money for about 6 months I think on a position I'm completely uninterested in. I should've just told her I'm not interested. Why didn't I? Oh, right, I told her that 'perhaps' I'd be interested in that as last resort. Well, I fucked myself hard now. So she gave me the referral. I should've just said I'm not interested. Ugh. I'm so mad at myself now. If they want me and I am the one to deny the offer then my insurance goes out the window for 3 months. Why the f did I not tell her that kind of internship doesn't interest me?
In worst case scenario they take me in, I have to agree and then I work for dog money and maybe simultaneously I look for another job? I mean, I'm pretty sure she said it's a 6-months intrnship. For literally calling people and scheduling trainings. Like, wtf, I'd teach that in a week. #rant
So mad at myself for even accepting that referral. Ooh, I know what I can do! I can tell them I have a phone phobia, that should do it 8D I'm pathetic DX Damn, I already don't want to go there tomorrow, wee! 8D

Meanwhile I'm at 1199/1501, still thinking I can do it XD

@Mem: even if you don't like it, just do it. At least you're getting paid for something and, like you said, you can look for another job. You don't have to put much effort in if you're not planning to stay there, so just use their computers to look for jobs lol.
Also, I hope she turns out to be okay. It's possible to recover fully so fingers crossed.

Also I don't really fully have my shit together, I feel like I run screaming through every week going AHHHDON'THAVETIMEFORTHISOHGODWHATDOIDO and then before I know it it's the next week 8D

mem, I am sorry to hear about the stroke, I hope she feels better soon!

And I agree with jacob. As harsh as it sounds, you don't have anything else/anything better to do now anyway, so you should take this opportunity. You never know. And you will be kept busy.

@jacob: I would probably just take it if it was a normally paid job offer, but it's an internship. Paid, but it's really no money at all. And 6 months is a lot, I think there's some penalty for leaving early. Besides if I took a job/internship I didn't want, I could've done it myself xD I'm so stupid.
I don't even know how trying for an internship looks like... Oh well, I'll see today XD
Fingers crossed, indeed. She's not the youngest grandma ever, over 80 years old, so I was preparing myself for bad news soon. I still hope she'll recover somehow. Although I really doubt our medical care... :mcsweat:
At least you have stuff to do, I just sleep in or waste my time and then wonder why my day is so short X'D

@Julez: Thanks.

I actually do have plenty of better stuff to do than scheduling trainings and shitting my pants about calling people for somethig like 250 euro per month. The problem I can't get myself to do them. But I've been motivating myself lately and now Ash went for a weekend trip with his friends so maybe I'll have my shit together.

EDIT:
Okay, so I'm back from the interview and I have mixed feelings. The potential boss seemed okay, down to earth and stuff. Didn't let me ask much though, but I think he just assumed I knew everything I needed. He told me that I'm actually the only person they got with experience in administration, so he'd gladly take me, but if I want to think on it, it's fine. There's a lot of phone calling *shivers* and customer service, so something I'm completely inexperienced with, and I don't feel strong in that field at all. But then he's like "if you don't want this internship, just say so. I understand if the official just gave you the referral because. But if you hesitate, just think on it and you come back here on Monday, either to see how the office works for a few hours, or to have your paper signed."
So on one hand, there's English partners, I'd be using spoken English a lot, that's something I don't do often, so it's an opportunity. The boss seems okay.
On the other hand, the job is about something I am truly terrible at. One would say it's another opportunity to get rid of that phone phobia, but I'll say, I once took a huge leap of faith in myself in April. It didn't go well. And the money is for basically just bread and water but that isn't even the point anymore.
So I'll be thinking on it during the weekend :mcargh:

I chickened out of that internship. Oh well. :mcblush:

And I forgot to log in yesterday, yay :mcsweat:

But I've been working out this week and working on outlining that novel of mine so, fingers crossed maybe in a few years I'll get it done xD

I'm still sending more applications lately than before so that also makes me more optimistic. Just the though that I'm actually doing something and not just laying around, wishing someone would hire me out of the blue. :mcheh:

Confetti rain for being proactive :3 You'll get there! Even if some opportunities are not right for you along the way, you can find something.

I had a long talk with J yesterday about looking after my health. He's right of course that I have to put my health first, potential future family second, and business third, with everything else behind. But I've been volunteering with my family for more than 13 years and it feels very scary to give that up all of a sudden. I already cut back a lot and my parents will be really upset if I stop, probably give me emotional blackmail about how they will have to stop as well, and so on. Also it will be hard for myself because I have a lot of old friends there who I've worked with so often over the years, and not least because it used to be my dream to work in that industry and be part of that world for real. So I feel like this is something I have to stop doing, not something I fully want to stop doing.
But it comes to a head right now because this year has been horrible. We were out at the weekend again and I am still exhausted from that now. I had a bit of fun but the good time doesn't really outweigh the pain and exhaustion I feel. I was also scrambling to catch up on work all weekend, which isn't great right now because I lost a big client and I'm trying to fill that space again. (well, didn't lose them exactly but the project came to an end, so no more work on that one)
