my life usually is quite dull.
So we all gathered i went to Italy. I got a job there working in one of Italy's top australian shepards breeding kennels. How bloody great that sounded, free accommodation on site, E600 a month, 3wk holiday and working 6 days a week in Italy's quite countryside. Whats wrong with that picture? Italy... out there in a remote and secluded area, all on my own with no family and no friends. It put my social life lower than a rock. One day off a week. The hrs i worked during the day left me no time at all to go out and get supplies or to explore the area. I was on my own, in a desolate place with no time to myself to do anything. I got up, i went to work, i came home, barely had enough time to shower and have tea and it was back to bed to get up the next day and do it all over again. No people to work with, just me.
I went insane. And i began to suffer homesickness like you wouldn't believe - it made me cry abruptly without warning and i'd go through that every day. The boss? Screamed at me. I wanted out, and Jon got out ^_^ Such a sigh of relief when my boss kicked me out into the streets of Italy. Sure, there was no guarantee when i'd get back home and 'd have to search for somewhere to stay while trying to get back home - but i didn't care. I was happy enough just being on the other side of those gates. As luck would have it, my family managed to get me a plane ticket back that same day and i was home by 7pm.
Well! I duno whether to regret the whole experience or just pass it off as a mistake. Either way, 1wk back at home and i'm starting to get into a routine of having really bad dreams about it
Last night i woke up in sweats cos i dreamt i was trying to get back home and i couldn't because i didn't have travel insurance. I keep dreaming i'm there and i'm trying to escape... It aint pleasant.
But anyways, the fact is that i am back home ^_^ in sunny england where i bloody well belong!!! I wont be going anywhere... not for a long while. But i'm job-less now. And also reptile-less!! What a loss
I've got myself signed on to the job seekers allowance and i am trying to get myself some work. One main reason why i need work is because i have plans to start my own reptile rescue. Something non-profitable where i will specialise in taking in sick and injured reptiles to care for and treat with money out of my own pocket. Once i've got them back to health i will re-home them for a small fee to cover the costs of vet bills and food bills. But i really need a job first to be able to fund it. I'm really excited about it because i'll be helping all those reptiles out there suffering from bad husbandry and giving them better homes and a better chance at life ^_____________^
