Probably Me

by Kibitz @ 2008-08-29 – 07:05:25

You may as well know. I've been defeated.

The Secondment's not mine - It's Hers.

My initial response - Hand in my notice.

My boss's response - Take time off.

From Monday next I’ll be hitting the road.

My left thumb erect and begging for lifts.

I'm not sure to where. Nor do I care.

But somewhere remote rather appeals.

So ...

If some time next week you're driving along.

And notice a guy by the side of the road.

Wearing black jeans, white tee shirt and glasses.

Please smile and wave - He's probably me.

What?! I'd stop and offer a lift...to where ever you're going!
Time out...good idea...
Formulate a plan...come back fighting...give it time.
Thinking of you.

  Thanks J ..
  
  Time out .. Exactly what I need.
  
  My current self pity's most unbecoming.
  
  Later today I'll be phoning The Her.
  
  Full of congrats and bonhomie.
  
  I expect I’ll feel better once that duty’s done.
  
  Then again ... Maybe not .. We’ll see.

Oh huney, Sorry to hear that. Did they give you reasons why? Is there some positiveness that you can use for future?

Shit. That's sucks.

Have a hug and a slice of lemon cake.

I hope the rest leaves you feeling inspired - if you still fancy work abroad you could always just apply for something more permanent.

Have a good week

Happy

  Thanks Happy.
  
  Reasons. None given. As yet.
  
  My boss said she'd try to find out.
  
  Possibly my graphic Exorcist impression?
  
  Either that and/or I just wasn’t good enough.
  
  Adam ... x
  
  P.S. Mmm .. that lemon cake’s mighty fine.

  Things will work out in time.
  
  I simply need to sulk for a while.
  
  Pathetic child that I am.
  
  But no need to worry .. It won’t be for long.
  
  I’m now gonna make THAT phone call. Bleugh!

(wants to take her mom's car and drive to England to find Kibitz)
Do you know what I just found? My mom just entered my room with a white plastic bag, telling me "I found this. Do whatever you want, keep it, throw it away... It's yours."
I take what it's in the bag.
Four purple paper figures holding each other's hands, of different nationalities and smiling. The first one is Indian, holding an Eastern european girl's hand, who's smiling at a monotooh Chinese boy, who's holding an African boy's hand.
I smiled. I'll keep it.
(today I'm writing off topic comments, and I like it U_U)

Ah, sorry to hear that.

As one door closes another one opens, so I've been told.

Take the weekend to sulk/commiserate/forget and Monday will come older, wiser, stronger and altogether new (1st September after all).

Here's to a great Autumn!
- - Kibitz
  - 2008-08-30 @ 07:18:25
  I second that motion!
  
  And .. I've done with the sulking.
  
  I felt really aggrieved when I wrote the post.
  
  But this morning .. New day .. New doors.
  
  With a week on the open road ahead ..
  
  I guess .. all told .. life’s just about bearable.

  Consider them marked.
  
  And when Fate reveals ..
  
  Its .. his or her .. devious plan.
  
  You‘ll be the first .. third or second .. to know.

    Fate is amazing just when you think you have it all figured out it jumps in and changes everything. the secret is spotting it. ...my advice to you mate is when the goal posts are in front of you take the shot as life is forever moving them you....where folk go wrong is ignoring fate and thinking they have complete control of their destiny....positive this happen to positive people.

sorry about that matey , plenty more fish in the sea though. life is never as bad as it seems. I'm going through a terrible time at the moment, my life is a bit fucked but you just have to carry on. what else can you do?
- - Kibitz
  - 2008-08-30 @ 11:11:29
  Thanks Mr. Heb ..
  
  My life's so far from being a tad fucked.
  
  I kinda think now I was whining at nothing.
  
  Okay .. yesterday .. I felt huge disappointment.
  
  But that's no excuse for my self indulgence.
  
  I hope things improve no end your end ...
  
  I’ll shall now count my blessings and .. er .. shut up.

Hey Kibitz,

If it is of any consolation, my favourite (and only) tie dangled into my cream of tomato soup today.

What a terrible mess.

  Hey Keith ..
  
  Whilst it's true ..
  
  Others peoples misfortunes ...
  
  Generally cheer me enormously.
  
  The unmitigated tragedy of your own experience ..
  
  Leaves my heart saddened by life’s wanton cruelty.
  
  In Sympathy ... In Absentia ... Adam.

It's a bit of a cliche, but makes sense...

When one door closes, another door opens!
- - Kibitz
  - 2008-08-31 @ 14:12:17
  Absolutely!
  
  And .. when it does ..
  
  I’ll doubtless walk straight into it.

  Hey Ash ..
  
  Thanks .. I did .. despite the weather.
  
  My third lucky lift .. Surfer Type Dudes ..
  
  Were heading for a place called Hayling.
  
  I made the Island my base for the week.
  
  Next time .. perhaps .. I'll head for Brighton.

  I was very disappointed at first.
  
  But I've since adjusted a little.
  
  I still feel an urge to quit my job.
  
  An urge I’ll endeavour to resist.

So... are you gonna tell us more about your adventures than just that one other post?

I'm curious, you see
- - Kibitz
  - 2008-09-08 @ 12:05:26
  Lol .. me too.
  
  But another post would only bore you.
  
  Nothing much happened out of the usual.
  
  I hitched .. I slept .. I got soaked by the rain.
  
  In hindsight .. I should have just stayed at home.

Hope your feeling better x
- - Kibitz
  - 2008-09-09 @ 14:14:25
  Much better thanks ..
  
  My down moods never last long.
  
  Hayling .. Great Place ..
  
  In a kind of old fashioned rain soaked way.
  
  The Fair .. Not as such.
  
  But I sheltered in several Amusement Arcades ...
  
  Until I'd lost most of my dinner money.
