Posts Tagged ‘Flight’

On my flight back to Brisbane, for the first time ever, I wasn’t seated behind someone who leaned their seat all the way back. Added to that, there was an empty seat beside me – making this the most comfortable flight I’ve ever been on.

The only downside is that I can no longer complain about my streak of misfortune in air travel.

I’m sure to be headed back to Melbourne some time soon though, for the plums and the dirty old yaks, and I’m sure I’ll be able to start a new bad streak.

It’s the end of January now and I’ve a pretty decent start to the year. I got some dental work done which I’ve been meaning to do for a while now, and scored a cute dentist which makes the visits a fair bit more enduring. I got a week in a silent house, where I had time to myself to think and ponder and read in the yard without interruption. I got a holiday in Melbourne where I got to flirt with a bar girl, play the ‘blind fold someone and make them eat a donut while wacking them with a stick game’, and drink coffee shop coffee each morning.

But now, holidays are over. It’s time to get back to work, start sorting out my life which has somehow, somewhere run off the tracks and crashed into the side of a mountain and all the little passengers waited around for help until they died of pneumonia.

Step one will be looking for a new form of employment. I’ve been standing in the doorway for far too long and now they are beginning to shrink the doorway, forcing me to either go in further and join the dark side or be squeezed out and left in the cold.

And I’m opting for the latter and a chance to find some work which I don’t despise more than I’m able to.

On the whole, I think things are starting to look up.

This year will be a good one.
