Happy Bloody 2009

Ok, so 2009 is here. I was waiting for this.
Waiting for the days to become normal again, really. For a more even work week, for more rhythm to what I do. The Christmas season seems to destroy all that. My system of things are put on hold for a while.
As far as work goes, Christmas has been really busy, and it kind of still is, but at least my workload will be spread out more evenly from now on. I'm also really anxious to start translating again, so it's not that I mind work that's the problem at all.

Also, Christmas has really sucked my account dry, so that's a really bad start to the new year. Geez... Happy new year, Janne. It's not like I didn't know it was coming though. I gotta scrape my money really thinly so they last until the next paycheck. Now that'll be pretty interesting. Again it's not that I haven't worked a lot over Christmas, it's just that I won't get the money until the end of January. But I just keep telling myself that I have to be like a damn hippie, that I have no money and I am completely liberated. Having a lot of money would probably worry me too. I don't seem to be the only one with money trouble though. Note to self: be thankful for what you do have. Like cookies. Or whatever.

Ok, so wishes for the new year... I just want peace and a freakin' movie ticket, is that too much to ask?!
And don't you dare say I can have the movie ticket!
Ok, ok, focus. For the new year, everyone remember that we're all the same, I don't bloody care of you're the colour green. Let's all just live peacefully with eachother, stop fighting over barren, uninhabitable deserts and let's stop saying "my dad's stronger than your dad". Ok? Can everyone just do that?

Happy 2009.

Love, J.
