Life is good, and bad ATM. Lost my dad to cancer in September, he would have been 58 next Sunday if his life wasn't cut cruelly short, but, at least he's not suffering anymore.
I'm currently unemployed as I was made redundant on the 17th October, and thought I'd found temp work until Christmas at least, but two weeks ago on Thursday we got laid off. Since then I've had several interviews, each ending with that old chestnut. "We were very impressed with you, and it came down to a decision between you and this other person, but......." And then they cinch it with "Don't be disheartened." It's sort of hard not to when you get knocked back time and time again by a narrow margin.
However, on the upside, I've been using the time I've had off to get some exercise, and since the last week of October I've lost two stone, dropped a shirt size and lost 4 inches off my waist.
In short, with everything that happened, 2008's been a crap one, however, 2009 and a fresh start are around the corner. Things can only go one way, up.
Edit: Furthermore, we're lumbered with my nephew presently, and I'm being forced to sit through Power Rangers Jungle Fury on Jetix. I can feel the will to live ebbing away as I type.
