My Life…

Posted by flummoxed1 on Sep 22, 2008 in family, feelings, jobs/careers, life, people, thoughts

That’s the latest episode of Gerbil Life over and done with… now it’s time for my life…

Well… I’ll tell you one thing that’s on my mind a lot, first. My job!! *sighs* I am on a 3 month job share and it started earlier this month. The other day I got my payslip and OMG I had such a shock, I’m getting a lot less than I thought I would be… my basic pay is something stupid and all the overtime I did last month I don’t get until next month. Due to direct debits I have a good few hundred going out of my account each month, a day after I get paid, now I’m left with very little of it. I have been thinking a lot about it and am considering going for another job. The one I’m in now, sure I enjoy it and I love my colleagues, but it’s dead-end. The pay isn’t all that grand either, to be honest.

My dad has been talking a lot about his girlfriend and I’m pretty much tired of it. I haven’t said, I keep my mouth zipped but she’s all he talks about, he’s worse than a love struck teenager. Hehe It’s nice and all that that they love each other like they do but gee…

I tidied my room too! Shock, horror. The thing is, it’s nice when it’s done but how long does it last?? We have a decent sized house but have so much stuff here, many of which we don’t use. Dad and I were talking about holding a bootsale yesterday and it’s a good idea. He said he’ll talk to his girlfriend about it, because she goes to a lot of bootsales.

Anyway I’m doing washing at the moment… when my step-mum died a few years ago I had to learn everything from scratch. How to do washing, cooking etc… because her good nature meant she wouldn’t let us. I have been using tablets in the washing but today I put washing powder in the machine and I’m getting visions now of the whole kitchen floor being flooded with soap. I washed it once this morning, but I guess another wash wouldn’t do it any harm…

Gerbil Life

Heylo, no I haven’t disappeared from the land of Earth, I’m still here. :)

Weeeeeell… I after thinking about it I decided to call the gerbils Snap, Crackle and Pop. Snap being the white albino who bit the first (the little bugger). Crackle being the grey one and Pop being the ginger one. They are so cute, but I am yet to conquer their trust and have them to actually crawl on my hand instead of biting it. It bloody hurts when they bite! The other day I held a piece of wood in my hands (they chew wood), but Crackle decided to bite my finger instead! His brother is a bad influence…

I put a wheel in their home the other day, bought it on Ebay and they love it, but Snap and Crackle fight over it, or should I say, in it. Crackle spends quite a bit of time in there and when Snap comes along to have a go they have a bit of a tiff and usually Snap admits defeat and climbs out until Crackle is gone. Pop on the other hand is a little bugger because when one of his brothers is in there, he goes in there and has his say and the other one gets out, but all Pop does is look around for about 5 seconds then he’s out of there himself! I bet Snap and Crackle got mad at him for that.

It’s hard to say who the dominant one is, but I see Crackle doing a lot of the grooming, especially to Pop.

They’re so cute!
