Let the sunshine in

I'm pretty sure I saw a transvestite on the way home from my lecture today. He/she didn't look very convincing because I'm not sure he/she was convinced him/herself, that they were even supposed to be wearing women's clothing. I think transvestitism may be fairly new to them. It could however have been a 'plain' looking girl and in which case, I'm sorry karma.

I was speaking to a girl earlier whose friend had died (a year ago to the day) and she told me that she and another girl were going into the Peak District today to commemorate their friend by drinking Tequila on a hillside. I think that's a great way to be remembered and wouldn't mind if anyone did the same for me when I'm gone. Life should be celebrated!

After saying a couple of weeks ago that work wasn't too bad, I have quit my job. Last Saturday I had to get up at 5.45 am to walk 20 minutes into town to catch a bus to a client's house, then I was expected to be at another client's house 45 minutes away at least in the space of 10 minutes which is quite clearly impossible since I am not Wonder Woman! I was then called moments after I had finished my shift to pick up 2 morning calls which had been missed despite the fact it was after 1pm. I didn't feel well anyway and being puked on earlier in the day did not help (I am phobic), so when I got home I called the office to tell them that I couldn't finish my calls. There was a minor altercation which ended with me saying "Well I was planning on handing in my notice anyway" and whoever it was I was talking to slamming the phone down. Was I fired or did I resign? To be honest I don't care. I am freeeeee!!! I wrote them a detailed letter explaining why I didn't want to work for them anymore and went to hand in my uniform yesterday...without washing it. Small victories! I am now unemployed but it's better than being stressed out.

I am currently wondering if my taste in hosiery is really that terrible since when I walked into the kitchen wearing my flower print black tights, Sophie greeted me with the question "Oh God, what are they?" I love these tights and I wont stop wearing them for no-one!
