Today, I've been mostly feeling bored. Bet that did not suprise anyone. Definitely it seems that this is a recurrent theme in our writings. To make my first point of exit from the realm of boredom, I thought that I'd just simply post quickly a summary of the last days events and... hell, now I've got it!
So, since my last post, Mick has been busy getting wasted with his colleagues, my wife's been busy writing and me, well I've been less than busy at work. For Mick's realization that we all handle the rex ethyl with variable success, there's not much to be said about that. It just is so. Some people have no frigging idea how to enjoy (yes, ENJOY) the drink. Sad, but true.
Nevertheless, I actually started to enjoy this newly found freedom at the office for a change. There's nobody to hover over me to check what I'm doing and there's definitely no one telling me what to do. Hey, I've even managed to actually do some things that nobody would never expect me to do here! So, and as promised, boredom shall give way to this beautiful and productive freedom and I will not return to complaining in the instant future (hopefully).
Freedom. That's it. We bought a car some time ago (my first ever and I'm almost 30!) and the feeling of freedom has ever since grown to new extents. I can now tell you that sitting in a traffic coming home from work, paying £0.90/litre for gas, is wayyy better than standing on the bus stop in the rain waiting for a bus that infamously is always late. It even gives me time to listen to all those CDs that I never listen to at home. Even better, I've started to listen to BBC Radio 4. Good stuff, believe me. This makes me look like I'm becoming worryingly middle-class(ized). Must be the age I guess. Damn it! You shall never take this freedom away from me bu I promise to fight against being middle-class. It's like being mediocre and I can't handle that!
Personal freedom actually feels nice every now and then. Last week, I had three days to myself in the flat and to some perverse extent, I really enjoyed it. It's not that we are having marital problems or anything like that but sometimes it's just so nice to do things exactly the way I want them to be done. You know, leave the toilet seat up (not really), not doing the dishes and the laundry when there are still plenty of clean plates and clothes left.... Makes it helluva lot easier to adjust to all the little things required living in a relationship.
Strikes me also, that maybe I shouldn't abuse my freedom too much. Maybe I'll start finding it boring too eventually. Hell no! For freedom I shall fight for until the sweet and sour end! Shit, today's 1 hour of freedom to indulge into my supper's almost gone. Back to daydreaming.
