Tick Tock
This morning, I received an email confirming that my interview on Thursday had not led to a job offer. The news was not at all a surprise to me but nonetheless sent me into an all day slump at work. I can't pretend it isn't hugely dispiriting to fail again.
But as I said in my blog on New Year's Eve, I have to keep going. Going and going. Irrespective of the lack of progress being made. The nagging sense that life is passing you by. The sense that although you are still relatively speaking young, that you have no future. That there's no exit route from this life. Or rather that there is an exit route but people invariably take against the particular course of action. Keep going.
EDIT 25/12: Another super negative blog. I do still feel all of the things that I've articulated here on occasion. I do feel time ticking on and am apprehensive about what I'm yet to achieve. At least I found a new job with more hours and I'm in the best financial position I've been in in life to date. Which is something to hold onto in the short term, even if I still feel that there's a long distance left for me to travel. So I'll keep going, I guess. I've failed a lot, but failure isn't terminal. Unless you fail in an airport. Boom, that's a proper joke. That's another thing, I really need to write more jokes. Another thing on the to-do list for 2016.
