Feeling Isolated

Well my diary – not a great start was it.

A couple of entries, then a change of name and then – well nothing really.  Why’s that?  Can’t say I haven’t the time as I am out of work and time is something I have plenty of.  So what is it?

Guess I realised that one reason I am here is to find people to share with as I am feeling isolated.  Having said that I am not great at spending ages in front of a computer either. I am begin to feel guilty taht I should be doing something productive. Gees I have enough to do.

Why am I feeling isolated?  Becuase this being out of work business has really gone on too long. I miss the relationships I had through work. Of course I do understand how superficial they are.  While I have made many people through work – in reality that are not friends.  I mean, how many have kept in touch since I left work. Bugger all thats how many. 

I need something else in my life, but what. i love my wife and really enjoy time with her.  But do run out of things to talk about every day. We need a new focus. We do have many common goals, but I am finding it hard to get into them while I am in this stae of flux – between jobs you know.  I need at least that to provide some certainty re income and location for the next few years.

Anyway, today I need to head back to the renatl property to finish tidying up the garden. Was there all day yesterday. the cleaner was there too. She has now spent two whole days there and still has a few hours to go. The prior tenant was just a absolute slob. The place was so dirty. Don’t understand people like that. How can they live in it. The house is a modern large three bedroom property, yet she treated it like crap. Has she no pride? Guess not.

I’ll be back!

Some people just don’t know how to (or don’t care to) take care of property that isn’t their own. I’d bet if that lady bought her own house and you went to visit in a year, it would be pristine. I rented for a lot of years and I tried my best to take care of the property like I’d want someone to take care of mine. It’s the Golden Rule: do unto others…. Hope your job situation changes soon. Being involuntarily unemployed is a real bummer!!!!

Going back to your start. You mention feeling isolated, being out of work. I feel isolated in work. I work for myself and contract out. So my work is usually done when I’m alone. Coffeeshops help with that feeling. But I miss having coworkers around.
