| Our satellite is down :o( Since this morning there was no tv. And all I have to do everyday is internet and tv and read. So now I am less one major time-waster in my day. Knowing the slowness that is Oman, it probably won't be fixed for a good week. Oli is going to do some encouraging though, so maybe that will work. He can be both charming and persuasive.
In other news I am ignoring Christmas this year, because if I try to celebrate it I will just end up terribly depressed. What kind of presents would we give each other? Vegetables?? Cigarettes?? And how do you think of Christmas when it's 29 degrees and there is no HAM??!
So yeah, Christmas doesn't exist in 2009. And that's what I'll be telling my grandchildren... there was no Christmas in 2009. Worldwide boycott. | comments: 7 Kommentare or Kommentar hinterlassen   |

| This place hasn't grown on me.
I thought I could do the long haul plan, make it until July. But it turns out I really can't, and I'm having trouble just making it to next week. I hate that we came here. I hate that there's no expats under the age of 30, that we need a car to see the stuff worth seeing, that we can't just go to the local pub for a drink at the end of a long day. I hate that there are no activities for me to get involved in, that our apartment is swarming with ants daily (no matter HOW MUCH I clean), that I don't feel comfortable going outside unless Oli is with me and I'm covered from neck to ankles.
I sent emails to my old jobs in Kyoto, and so far one of them has gotten back to me saying they'd love if I worked for them again. Oli sent emails to his old bosses in Kyoto, and so far one of them has gotten back to him saying no dice, but try for April 2011 :o/
Unless Oli gets his job in Kyoto back, or another job that pays similar wages, we can't get out of here. I am so fucking miserable here that all I can think of is just getting out. I have daydreams of calling my mother and taking shelter in Canada until we can go back to Kyoto. But, that would require months away from Oli and I doubt we can do that. Also, that's just running away... which as nice as it would be is pretty weak.
I want out. I hate that I'm stuck somewhere I don't want to be. It's so frustrating. | | comments: 4 Kommentare or Kommentar hinterlassen |
