I’m sorry education/child care isn’t as fulfilling as you’d been hoping for. Unfortunately, most of us do jobs where we don’t make the slightest bit of difference to someone’s life, just space monkeys pushing buttons and pulling levers. But! If you can find a job that stimulates you, with problem solving and fact checking and stuff, more power to you. It gives you something to aim for.

As for the Sims, do you really play happy families with it? Sometimes I’d just mess with people — I’d make the Goth family be all normal, and scare other families with ghosts. yeah, it really does swallow your life.

Lucy, yep, that’s it. I’ll be the angry one sulking in Brisbane while she does the London thing.

I hope it gets better, but I can’t help but think I’ve somehow unintentionally driven over a sack of kittens or like stolen from grandmas by accident to deserve such shit karma. I can accept if things don’t become sunshine and pudding again because maybe there is a reason for this, but if things couldn’t get WORSE, that would be tops.

Then that sounds like a solid plan, you’re raging but giving Miss Jones the room to do what she needs to do.

Man, I really hope this gets better for you, I really do chicken.

Best, It’s a possibility. The idea of another international move makes me break into a cold sweat, but the fact it’s an ENGLISH SPEAKING country would remove 80% of the problems I encountered in Japan. I don’t know either way yet, just laying some cards down on the table. Don’t talk to me about W, I don’t care to know.

Lucy, Miss Jones defs needs to do this alone I was more considering going in like 6 or so months, when she’s sorted out all her shit alone and is established (if she does end up staying). I know I would have adored to have someone arrive to be with me in Japan once I’d worked it all out, but for the first part I absolutely needed to be alone.

Jay, I totally get it and that is my hesitation with just running off to the UK, if I do go, I need to have my own reasons for wanting to. I think it would be incredibly unfair of me to move halfway across the world and expect Miss Jones to make it worthwhile for me to have done so.

I don’t know yet, there is too much to think about.

I think there is a certain danger in the idea of going to the UK 80% to be with someone. I mean, sure, if for some reason it doesn’t work out \\you are still in a rocking place (geographically, not emotionally) and doing something incredible — but you are also a long, long way from home, and from friends and family. At that time, the distance could seem insurmountable, and London a very alien place. There is also a chance that if you were unhappy there you could end up resenting Miss Jones.

But you know what? Rage on. If something (someone) is worth having, they’re worth fighting for — if it’s better to have loved and lost, then it’s also better to fight for her and later have things not work out than to just accept it, and always wonder “What if…?”

Man, this week was supposed to be better for you.

Since I hate advice, and I’m worried that you’re okay going through this ignore what I’m about to say if you choose.

Maybe J needs to do this trip on her own. In the same way you needed to go to Japan to prove to yourself that you could do it.

Saying that, I want you to be happy and for this to work out. Because you’re lovely and you deserve this.

So, consider this a Dylan vote.

I’m absolutely the later of the two quotes….

I didn’t realise the UK was an option for you in 2009/10 – I know this has been said before – but J and I are considering packing up and just finding a job over there in 2010. It could be D’Jen & Bestie do London 2010 – just one year later than planned ? I’ve paid the 400 quid to do a test to be accredited over there – wheels in motion…

W found a job, after one interview, after being in London for 48 hours…what GFC?

Loves of your life f****n suck. They always break your heart and fail to want the same thing. All of mine have, even the happy-ever-after one.

*sigh*

I’m so sorry to hear about Nan! But she’s GOTTA be ok, she’s such a feisty lady, she’s strong and healthy… she’ll pull through!

And I so thought Miss Jones was only intending to go for a short time? But it’s possible she’ll stay longer? Well maybe she’ll go for a while and be independent and then if she wants to stay maybe further down the track you could revisit your London plans from last year? It’s still not such a horrible idea!

But having said that, I’ll put in MY selfish 2c and say STAY IN AUSTRALIA! haha. Just had to add that, in case you were at all unsure on how I feel about the idea of you leaving the country AGAIN!

P.S there’s still a job going at Mulan! 2 out of the 3 current teachers are dickheads, but the third is fantastic! And she needs a friend And it’s only 90mins drive from me! (I’m never going to stop suggesting it lol)

Oh dear….! It all just sucks, I’m hoping it was a blip and will be sorted, in some kind of magical way. I have no answers for the Miss Jones thing, I just couldn’t imagine it.

Thoughts are with D’Nanny too.
