Again?!

Guess who missed the bus again this morning (me of course)?

I needed to catch the *:47am bus from the shops in order to get into the CBD for an 11am appointment at the employment agency. I thought I left with enough time to spare, but got delayed by the woman who lives down the street wanting to know if I knew who owned a stolen dog. As I stood there talking to her, I saw the bus turn the corner and drive up Northville Drive! She couldn't drive me because her car was "not running well". In an impetuous moment I started to walk to the BP, about 4km away - I got as far as the bridge before the knee hurt too much. I phoned and changed the appointment - now it's at 1pm - and came back home to wait.

This is just so frustrating. Not coping well with anything at the moment and this is par for the course. I've half a mind to tell the agency that I don't feel competent any more to look for work. My key worker wanted me to "brain storm" a letter of introduction to an employer explaining why I'd be an asset to them. Last night, after writing a statement about the dog attack on Bobby (which I passed on to the ranger this morning) I sat there and just froze up in front of the screen. Just like the end of last year, when I was trying to write my Masters proposal. It's like a brick wall. My mind goes blank.

I've had it with stuff lately. Can't concentrate much any more and feel like shit.

Octapod Event?

Another thing that's frustrating me is the 24 Hour Comic Day.

After suggesting that I run an event at the Octapod (I sent them a link with info) I haven't heard back from anyone about any details. When I went into town Friday the place was shut. At this point it seems to me just too late to organise anything, and I'm not really in a good mental state to do so.

I think I might just have to say, "thanks, but too little too late" and go to the one in Newtown. I'll go in and try the Octapod again today, but am not hopeful.

Hold on - they're listed as a host. I've just emailed the admin rather than the person I contacted. Might be some progress yet (though I have to admit, half the attraction was going to be socialising with other artists, and right now it looks like I'm it).

Buses take 2

The bus leaves at 10:10am. It's now 9:40am and I'm at home. I'm going to leave here in 10 minutes - 20 minutes to get just over 500 metres should be time enough, shouldn't it?
