Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life.

I know I am very demanding, that I have high standards, that expect a lot from people, etc. I know it, my friends have told me and an ex as well. However, not bothering to see me on my birthday followed by a "I'll let you know about meeting tomorrow" on Saturday and having said nothing since really annoys me. Is that asking too much?

Another year gone by

And, for the first time I can remember, I feel old... I'm not really in the mood for celebrations and would prefer if people didn't wish me "happy birthday".

Hard season has begun

better get my liver prepared...

Relief

I still enjoy beeing in my own company.

Update

Can't believe it's been over 10 days since I've been here. I've had so much to do and on my mind. Year end is always busy and a few "things" haven't helped. Let's start!

-with regards to this post... If you think "I'm the one holding the head" you are WRONG!! I AM the head! Well, that is to say, I was head-hunted to apply to a couple of positions in other companies. It always makes me feel really well when that happens, specially considering I didn't get the other job in my company.
-had really good feedback on the interview (even though I didn't get the job)
-job is going well and I do like it. Also,  love the company and the people I work with so actually I'm not sure I really want to leave...

-my flatmate has told me she is leaving... and with Christmas and holidays means I have probably a month and half to find a flatmate or another solution... $***

-can't believe I've had this blog for a year!!. Thanks for reminding me and the belated happy birthday! (you know who you are)
