i had a pretty good weekend. and i thought i had pretty quickly gotten over the disappointment of missing out on that job offer. but maybe not so fast ... ?
i don't know. yesterday i had a pretty big dose of the old monday-itis. and it seems to have partly carried over into today.

i'm feeling quite flat, pretty apathetic & unmotivated. i've got numerous things to do, mostly annoying little time-consuming tasks, but i can't seem to complete any of them right now. none of them seem significant or urgent enough to expend much energy upon. but they won't go away either. pretty much everything feels like a chore.

i'll get over it, i suppose. it'll pass (i hope!). whatever. here's one latest thought that's keeping me going in some way: 3 more years in this job, then i'll flick it, and send my wife back to work full-time (which she'll be happy to do by then); and i'll just not work (or at least not work full-time) for at least 6-12 months. it'll be overdue by then. i'll be a house-husband for a while. then i'll eventually do something else, probably on a different career path.

alright - i like the sound of that ... ;-D

i had my ipod on shuffle. just as i started reading this 'float on' by modest mouse came on.

"Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans...
Well we'll float on, good news is on the way.

Alright already, we'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on OK.
Don't worry, we'll all float on.
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on alright.
Don't you worry, we'll all float on.
We'll all float on.

weird eh?!! sounds a bit cliched n stuff but it's a great song and perhaps appropriate background music for the last few posts. isn't it strange how things like that happen every now and again?

like at glastonbury a few years ago it was pouring rain. we were watching supergrass and as they hit the opening chord of 'sun hits the sky' the rain stopped and the sun came out! freaky.

i do like the idea of not working though!
