    I can't sleep. Too many thoughts going through my head and no Nytol left :-( Is it possible to escape the rat-race anymore, unless you are rich. It would be nice to buy a cottage somewhere in the country or a house by the beach but who can afford that nowadays. I'm currently living in a place I'm growing to hate more each day. Can't afford to move though and the neighbourhood seems to be getting worse by the day. So anybody got a place in the country or near a beach, they want to sell me for £35,000 or do a swap for a terraced house in the middle of a small Lancashire former mill town.

I've lived in roach-infested dives, slaved for years to rent over-priced ratholes, the whole shebang. It's only by weird luck and the absolutely insane real estate market in California that I suddenly find myself in the position I'm in now. We just finished a meeting a few inutes ago with the realtor that's going to sell this place for us. I still can't believe all this is going to happen. Seems like it must be someon elses life. (Hackneyed BS coming up - you've been warned.) Keep your chin up and your eyes open. Opportunity knocks when you least expect it. Maybe you need a few weeks off. Consider raiding the bank accounts and blowing some money on a trip or whatever. Then you can come back to the same mess with less money. :-D

I get by every day, it's just at 1am and you can't sleep - you tend to see how shit the world is. I'm sure tomorrow, I'll have forgotten all about it... until the next time ;-) Michael 'Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.' - The Doctor: The Wheel in Space
