Several shades of meh

[cybermule]

I started the new job last week. It seems fine - work is the right balance of interesting and undemanding, boss seems plain speaking and pleasant, and the rest of the people are also nice. Only downside is waking in the middle of the night every couple of days wracked with guilt at leaving the sprog with a childminder. Which I know is daft but I still feel it and it has been compounded with losing the child's favourite hat to give a slight feeling of #mummafail.

The bathroom still isn't finished, but is looking good. It has been a challenged to my control-freakery and need for neatness.

Had an awful weekend with my brother staying. All he did was whine, pick on me, grumble about the quality of the hospitality we had to offer, and turn on a passive-aggressive "what's that? can't hear anything!" whenever I told him to stop being a dickwit. Seriously, I could have punched him while he was here, and am left feeling pretty drained and depressed. Even 0ct0pus* got pissed off at him trying to get him to bitch about how long I was taking to have a pee before I went out to fix his car.

Cos yeah - everyone knows I take hours to get ready *eyeroll* Really and truly I could right now deal with never seeing him again. Meh.

* the same 0ct0pus who is now a qualified climber :)

Glad that the job looks like it's going to be good. Every woman I know who's a mother has felt the Guilt, by the way. I think it's one sign of actually being a very good mother.

I haven't been keeping up with LJ lately (school!)--what is your new job?

I've not been keeping up either, so I may not have even posted details - I'm a web officer for the local council. I get to look after the science pages for schools- I'm looking forward to that.

Siblings! Sometimes they need a good punch on the nose I'm sure of it. Sorry he has been such a twat hun...wishing him a plague of guilt and an overwhelming need to grovel and apologise ;)

Yay, for job, sound peachy so far! :D
