Macros aside, I learned that the person who made the entry I reported was banned or suspended, even though LJ never responded. Guess that's something.

Oh and yesterday was my first day at my new "job", and it went pretty well. I was 15 minutes late due to missing the bus, but didn't get in trouble. I think in a place like that they're just glad you're able to show up, not 'cause they desperately need you but because we're all sick. Yeah, that's right. SICK. I always feel guilty or whiny when I say that I'm sick, but it's simply the truth.

The first day was mostly just introductions, everyone getting to know each other and talking about their own history with their respective illness. It's important to understand what each person's gone through and is still going through, and we can also expect to be asked questions about it when we go to take the interviews. I'm not really nervous about doing all those things, it's mostly just actually getting up in the mornings and -going- there that's the tough part. I'm not one of those people who has a hard time starting something, instead I have a hard time finishing. Sticking to what I started. (so you can expect that macro thing to fall through at any moment.)

So yeah. Encouraging thoughts this way plz ktx.

Ok, so I lied. I do have some real life stuff going on, and luckily most of it is good! This occupational therapist I was seeing recommended this new program to me (and recommended me to the people in charge of the program, woo!) though I guess it's more of a project than a program. Basically, people who have gone through depression and other mental illnesses (like me) go and visit people who are staying in homes and hospitals due to their condition and interview them, asking about what's going well and what can be changed. Then we make a big report and turn it in to the government. So it's a pretty big deal. And today I had an interview at the place, and was accepted! Everyone who applied got in, but we'll just pretend I'm shpeshul.

This whole thing starts up on September 3rd, and it's ten hours a week spread over three days. I know it's not much but for someone like me it's plenty. I'm not that nervous about it, mostly I just look forward to it. But you never know, that might change!

Another piece of big news is that dreamt is moving out, so sanspantalons and I will have to find a new roommate. It's not gonna be easy since our lifestyle is pretty...different. We can be up at all hours, we have our computers in the livingroom which means it's not easy bringing home guests, the person has to speak good English, we have a cat, and the room in question is pretty tiny. But, the rent is pretty damn good. Just 35.000 kr. a month, including everything. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that we'll find someone nice and easy to get along with.

If any of you Icelandic folk know anyone who fits that description and needs a room and doesn't mind all that stuff, please let me know! I really want to find someone through a friend, rather than just put up a random ad in the papers. That's just scary. So plz plz plz, ask around. ^^

And because I never get to use this icon, I'm gonna use it now. HAH!

(and how is that mood pic quixotic?)
