Been a week since my last post. I’ve found myself having less and less to post about these days. I guess you could call that progress. Maybe I should make more effort in case I fall back into bad habits. There’s a couple that come over from Manchester every now and then. If they’re over, chances are, they spend most of their time in my place of work. Thing is, they’re MASSIVE gamblers. They’ll spend all day back and forth to the various machines at work. They’ll win, they’ll (obviously) lose. When you see people putting SO much money into these machines, it’s hard not to feel a flutter inside. The mental ‘what ifs’ start to make their way to the front of your brain. So far I’ve not acted but I can’t say I haven’t thought about it on a few occasions. But I’ve stayed clear, kept on working and gone home with my days intact.
A few months ago, a long serving member and trustee of my workplace died. He was a nice fella who I got on with well. He rubbed people up the wrong way sometimes but you can’t say he didn’t care about this club. That was evident in his will when we found out he’d left 30+ thousand to the place. Basically, from a selfish point of view, I have job security for a fair few years yet. It might even last long enough for me to be running the place.
I’ll be having a couple of weeks off work starting next Monday. I’m looking forward to the rest from work, but I know it won’t be long before I’m agitated at being couped up. I’ll be spending the time with the lady friend and I’m sure she’ll have a few jobs for me to be doing. Need to start preparing for my parents moving out too, which should be any time now. I’ll have a lot of stuff to do at home. Not least save up to pay my bills!
