Back to reality...
Jul. 25th, 2005 05:18 pmYes indeed. Last day of holiday, back to work and real life tomorrow alas.
The sinking feeling this gives me would seem to be a hint that its time to get back to the Grand Plan of Escape.
I am very very bored in my job but I have no idea what else I want to do and not much else I'm qualified to do, at least not without some retraining.
So the Grand Plan of Escape was to stick it out a bit longer, save money and work out what I'd rather be doing - whether its going back to uni, going into a different field or whatever, and have the money to pay the mortgage, eat, feed the cats etc while I do so.
This has been abandoned somewhat (ie completely) lately in favour of 'whee spending money is FUN. Having fun is FUN, more of that, here is my credit card'. In fact part of this current possible return to the Grand Plan is that the visa bill just arrived and... ouch. Somehow I've nearly whacked it back up to the limit. Well not 'somehow', I know exactly how :p
I have the monies to pay it off, which I intend to do tomorrow, but it won't leave much over for spontaeous spending sprees and the like.
Which means no Gothmeet, probably not making Nick's barbeque, unless flights can be got Damn Cheap, and sadly, no going to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
littlebluefish's party this weekend. Sorry hon, but much as I'd love to, over 100 quid to come back and see you guys again when I was there last weekend is too hard to justify. And thats just for the flights.
Not to mention my sister will probably be needing a hand with the new baby she is currently working on producing (the next telesales person who rings and makes me run for the phone is going to die) and I've kinda been neglecting teh family lately.
It's been a great summer so far and all the fun is a great way to offset the mindnumbing dullness of work, but I always (like everyone I guess) swore if I found myself dreading getting out of bed every day to work, I'd quit.
I can't quite afford to just drop it all and go and do something else less boring instead just yet, but if I pay off the debts, stop flinging monies around and start saving again I *will* be able to do it at some point. It'd be nice to look forward to more than just escaping for a weekend here and there.
Of course now I just have to decide what I'd actually like to do with the rest of my life...
