Work Woes and Perpetual Stress

I have had a hell of a day today. I got up at 6 to take N back home, as B needed to go to work early. Woke up and went out 5 minutes later. And within half an hour I was back in bed again. Except, I forgot to switch the alarm clock back on. I woke up at 10.30.

I have overslept before and got away with it, being as I was working at home, which was the case today as well. Except, there were two or three important things I needed to do in the morning. The first was the doctor’s appointment at 10am, which I slept through, and now won’t have any anti-depressents until I can see him again on Friday. The second was a very important database restore for work. I have spent most of the day trying to get it to work, with little success. It’s going to be used in a court case, and I feel miserable that I wasn’t more careful about being able to restore the backup. It’s possible in theory, it’s just a lot of stress and difficulty for something I should have made much easier for myself.

I really need to find a new job. It’s killing me. There are two many pressures from different people, and everyone thinks that they have the priority and are most important. The truth is I really don’t care about it anymore. I just want to do something else with my life and be happy. But I’m scared of having no money and not being able to pay my bills. Really scared.

I have been looking at jobs, but not applied for anything yet. I think I’ll spend a little time putting together my CV.
