You know …
You KNOW you’ve had a bad day at work …
When you hand out half a dozen CVs in the space of several hours.
No, trust me …
I’m thinking, right now? That’s there’s several things I could be doing, or saying.
Several places I’d rather be: and several places I’d rather not be.
Any of them that involved a secure financial future? One with money, stability, and the prospect of being out of work? AND the thought of not heading for my local Citizen’s Advice Bureau?
Would be welcome.
Still …
I’ve made a decision: to leave work.
After what I fell is fairly unreasonable behaviour on the part od others.
Which is possibly saying more than I should.
But it should at least clarify a few things for you.
- I’m in a godawful mood.
- Have a busy day ahead of me, setting up benefits.
- Have hard work finding employment ahead of me.
Frankly? I chose to spend my time … in front of my TV.
Right now?
I AM wondering how long I can afford to pay for an internet connection, AND the associated router: that let’s me watch stuff on an Apple TV.
Frankly?
My mood seemed to call for one thing.
Two episodes of series four House of Cards.
Worrying about someone else’s problems?
Seemed the thing.
~≈Â≈~
Episode 9 — Chapter 48 — sees Frank and Claire — Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright — pushing Secretary of State Cathy Durant — Jayne Atkinson — as Vice President. Whilst, in a seemingly casual move at the Democrat’s national convention, one vote goes the way the First Lady.
It other areas? It ALSO sees Frank having to deal with Governor Conway: in the heat of a private meeting: ostensibly about ICO, the show’s ISIS parallel.
Episode 10 — Chapter 49 — sees Frank having to deal with the one thing he didn’t expect: Secretary Durant getting Primary votes: naming her as a nominee for Democrat candidate for President.
Whilst Claire … ?
Gets a huge boost for the Underwood moves to name her as vice-presidential candidate …
As her mother dies …
~≈Â≈~
Now …
Good?
Yes.
Right now, two episodes of House of Cards are — bar a guaranteed job — exactly what I needed to if not improve my mood, then certainly lift it.
The frantic helper skelter of an entirely fictional Presidential race?
Well, not with-stand the fact anything out of Donald Trump’s mouth, and any investigations in Hilary Clinton possibly make fiction look bland?
The fact is, that this series of House of Cards is looking fantastic: and, in Ellen Burstyn’s death?
Will be driving the rest of the action.
Go watch, guys, it’s looking good!

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
