Wait, is that a light? Is the tunnel ending?

Almost 57 days in quarantine and there seems to be a some hope here, they announced the end of lock down just 9 days short of the 2 months' mark. Stores will finally open, caution is still necessary but that's a required measure so no problem with that... only problem is hotel's are not expected to open before June.

Why is that important?

Well, as long as they remain closed, although it is a safety measure to avoid a second outbreak of that damn virus, there is no hint of income in the horizon for many of us. Speaking of hotels, something I consider to be weird happened today. I got a bunch of notifications from recruiters on LinkedIn, an app I rarely use and don't really gt notifications from.

On top of that I got a message for an interview from one of those recruiters. Thankfully I could read it from the notification preview without opening it so this gives me some time to think about how to proceed with it. I have already booked a job for the summer season but with all this uncertainty going around it wouldn't hurt to expand my "network" of connections a little bit... I have no idea what to do with that interview request though and I don't think half a day or even one full day is enough for me to decide what to do. After all it's important.

Anyways, that's all I had to get off my chest for now. If anyone actually reads these posts, I don't bite, leave a comment, I could really use a second opinion on some of the things I post.

Stay safe~!

Random or not random? Rant-om maybe!

Quarantine log. Day 38.

So... where do I begin? A lot of sh*t has gone down since my last post but mainly in the last couple of days.

Quarantine is staring to get to me, that's for sure. After the first few days during which I did try to hang out with the rest of the family in order not to go crazy it became evident to me that I was just making it harder for myself to remain sane so I locked myself in the half finished top flour apartment. Half finished because there's no kitchen mainly and because there are a couple of more things that need to be taken care of. Goof think I invested part of my very last paycheck (back in November) to get some furniture and paint the walls. On hind sight I am slightly regretting that because right now I am almost completely penniless with a very uncertain work future in front of me which I'm not sure I want to find out more details about after all, no news is good news.

Important question? Has quarantine affected my sanity at all ever since I begun to avoid my family? Hell yes it has!First of all the past 2 weeks almost I've been sleeping on the couch in the living room when there is a perfectly fine double bed in the bedroom! Secondly, I've started to see plots unfolding everywhere though I have a bitter feeling that this happens mostly because I have detached myself from the events of the first floor (aka the family apartment). And last but not least I managed to get in my head and sabotage my writing. Again. That's the reason I haven't posted anything here in quite some time either.

Changing the subject, remember the last post about playing with fire? Well, fire's out! Random guy would keep flirting, then trying to break the indifference I showed with sharing his personal drama which I had no reason to get myself mixed into especially since I tried to give him a piece of advice when he first asked for it and he rejected it, then he went back to flirting, he became annoying and then he would ghost be for about a week and then start the random flirty messages and then I got tired and after he went back to ghosting I eventually blocked him. I shouldn't have accepted his message request in the first place but anyway...

Speaking of random guys, my ex remembered I exist. Two years after the break up that was a result of his attitude he texted to tell me I was right. No shit Sherlock! Between the two of us I was the one with most experience when it came to job interviews, CVs and job related things in general but no, he wouldn't take my advice, not back then at least. Now he retraced his steps and remembered what I told him apparently.

Circling back to me, I want this to be over with. I've spent 38 days stuck inside and I have almost reached my breaking point. I'm not planning on going out if there isn't a dire reason to do so but enough is enough. I want this quarantine to be over, the hotels to re-open and to finally go back to work 'cause I'm sick and tired or sitting on my a*s the whole day everyday. Enough is enough.

By the way, how are you all holding up? Hope you're safe, healthy and holding on strong.

Come on, drop a comment, don't be shy!

Just kidding, I know no one sees these!

Playing with fire?

It's been a couple of days now that I've slipped back into my old ways, to a certain bad habit I have to be exact. I guess boredom does that to a person.
What is that bad habit? Well, it's nothing too fancy, every now and then I chat up a stranger to see how things would involved in a way, I don't cat fish them or anything, I mean I kind of did that the first time but I was pretty sure that was exactly what the guy was doing too anyway and the story I uses was so far fetched even I had a tough time believing it!
Any ways a guy commented on a comment I left on a certain comedian's live broadcast on facebook and, he seemed like a decent person so I thought "What the hell, let's give it a shot" and we've been chatting the past couple of days and it's so damn evident that he's done it before and he's been burnt.
What I mean by that, well, it's pretty clear that he's started chat sessions with girls and has turned them into perverted one's there's always something lurking in his messages, it was there from the beginning but he's still pretty decent so... I wanna see how long it will take for the act to drop. It has happened every other time and you can tell it's coming.
So, anyways, I don't know why I keep doing this. it's stupid anyway but at the same time there is a certain thrill to it...!
