Work's going....good? Well? Positive pronoun anyway. I've got the hang of it, and it's the kind of job that when you leave work, you've left your work behind. As I start really early and am technically contracted for 9:30 hours, there's always the danger that staying even 20 minutes past 5 will mean that I would have been at my desk for more than 10 hours. People always seem surprised that I manage to leave bang on 5 everyday, including the Chinese girl who sits next to me. She gets in about 6:45 and leaves even later than I do! Today referred to me as a "超人" (superhuman), but it all boils down to the fact that I just don't want to live at work.
The general public also seem very concerned with the fact that I have to wake up quite early. You get used to 5am (promise), as long as you go to bed at 10. Needless to say, Martin isn't really feeling it. It won't last forever, but it's causing a stir amongst the community regardless. I'm not sure why everyone at my workplace feels it would be much better for me to move out of my parents home and closer to work. Well, it's not like they're outraged, just genuinely surprised. Of course, why wouldn't I want to pay rent, buy my own food, cook my own food, live with 5 other people and be cleaning up after their mess and dealing with their drama (don't pretend that you don't have to deal with that). I have to pay some money and contribute to meals and upkeep in my parents' house, of course.
But they also have: cleaners, an ironing lady and unlimited central heating.
My back-to-the-gym initiative is also going well, though some weeks are better than others. I have yet to find a yoga class that I like, but at least I don't have to attend a Gym Box. Did you know that a membership to a Gym Box is -- no. Don't get me started. I was honestly so outraged about it when I found out that till this day I don't believe that anyone could pay so much for - literally - a box with no swimming pool.
My biggest problems at the moment consist of choosing what outfit to wear tomorrow, so I'm not making arbitrary decisions at 5:35am, and deciding to what charity I should donate. Don't worry, I'm not gonna try and fit that drama into this post.
I still feel that in general, I've taken to long to get my sh*t together. I feel like I should be further along with my projects, making more of my weekends, knitting (although to be fair I should probably cut out some Real Housewives of NJ if I really wanna get that done), inflicting more blog posts upon unsuspecting friends, etc etc. But working life is hard! How long do you think I can keep using that as an excuse to not take driving lessons?
So that's my review. Unfortunately, I can't say I miss China itself but I do miss the boys! That's another thing I've been neglecting - it's all in one big list, this post taking a prime position - but it's all coming soon. As soon as I get some time to myself.
Well, it's 9:25 so.....I'm off to bed! Happy Wednesday everyone.
