I barely slept last night - I tossed and turned and apparently kicked BM in the back twice. I told him I wished I had a mother I could share things with... he says I should use his mum. I'm panicking about the future - things I cannot control. Neither of us slept well last night - and both think it may be the amount of beer we drank this weekend - not a huge amount, but a lot for us. We're still blissfully happy though - what's that all about? No drama, no big fights, no hurt - it's all good.
I rode a lot this weekend and also got dragged up to the golfcourse where upon I hit 8 balls, one of them nicely. He really is rather good having a handicap of 4 which I understand is really rather special - in the UK he wins ~10k a year playing - not quite Tiger Woods territory of course. He doesn't just hit these little white dimpled balls, he aims them at specific things. And hits them. Clever lad!
Am supposed to be going to Berlin in July to see Leonard Cohen which would be bloody brilliant! :-) Classic happy happy joy music. ;-)
Yesterday we did these horsey/golf things and wondered about the poor lost souls on their way to retail therapy (shops are only open one sunday a month here) - looking to fill their empty souls with shiny, plastic crap.

About Me
- Suzanne
- I'm a bit odd and I'm mentally ill but most people seem to think I hold it together. I'm British but I've been living on the continent for 8 years now and I don't know when or if I'll go home. I have borderline personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder and depression. This is my diary of living with mental illness.

Handicap of 4... That implies talent as well as practice.
Shame you didn't get the job but keep applying, if you think you are underpaid now then it only gets worse over time as your increases are based on your current level and the fact that you've let them screw you so long that they doubt you'll suddenly do something about it. Always nice to prove HR wrong even if the chances of them learning ANYTHING are terribly small.
Off to Berlin? I thought you said you were staying put for a while ;-)
Yes Des, what I've always dreamed of - a boyfriend who can wield a golfclub with accuracy! ;-)
Yes, I realise that with the increases... in fact I'd like to send you something which i think you might find of interest in the whole HR vs the US. I'll send it to your fb rather than work... else they'll think you're a commie.
I can drive to Berlin - or catch the train - it's an easy journey anyway!
