Seriously people?
So this morning I'm catching the train in to work and everything is normal. I get to Perth train station and to the platform I need to be on to head to subi. As I'm going down the escalator I see a young lad, no older than about 16 or 17 and he's trying to get peoples attention every once and a while.
For the most part he's not speaking loud enough for them to hear and merely gesturing. They can see him, they just choose to ignore him. Not one bloody person stopped to ask him what he was after. I'm starting to walk by and I he hasn't tried to approach me, but I ask anyway. Clearly apparent is that he needs some assistance and that what ever he needs he can't do it himself.
Turns out he was a special needs boy and his shoes had come untied, all he wanted was a little help tying them up again. I think about 4 of the people that ignored him looked over and must have thought I was a nutter, tying some fella's shoes up in the middle of the station. Something clearly evident in their expressions.
Seriously people, get your heads out of your asses...
Time marches on.
I seem to be updating more often, heh. Bit of an oddity that, but either way;
Now that everything is lifting off my shoulders and the uncertainties are pretty much all gone, add to that I'm able to act more myself of late. I feel so very much happier these days and I think it'll start showing a lot more.
School is all lined up and I might be able to keep my job apparently.
Could things be falling in to place for once? Time will tell.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
At least now this part is over and I'll be getting back to what I wanted to do 7 years ago. This isn't the restart to my life I always pictured and things are surely different now, but I can learn to accept that some things have to change. I got the offer for the university I want and the class that I wanted, it was just that simple. Lets hope it stays this simple now, me; my decisions, my consequences and my work.
God help any person that comes between me and what I want at this point, because I swear I will end the first person to even try and I'm not taking crap anymore.
I'll probably tell work right off the bat and probably get my ass fired for my trouble, oh well. This is about getting me a job and a career that I do want, as opposed to one I just cope with. I think I can live with quitting or being fired at this point.
Now all I need is the physical letter in my hand so I can log in to Oasis and accept my offer.
Distraction
Jesus H Christ I need one really badly at the moment and apparently Jury Duty sucked for that, it was over in only a few hours today. I just keep doing my own head in at the moment, over a number of things and over nothing.
I keep thinking that all this is just too easy; Nothing I've ever wanted has ever really been within reach and where I really wanted it. I mean really wanted it, not just doing it to make other people happy. Doing things for my own benefit has always been hard, even when they are for my own good.
I took hits and shut up about them, if only for the benefit of everyone else around me and that has to stop. I guess breaking old habits has to have some sort of draw back and being 10-15 years worth of habit doesn't help.
So here's asking for a bit of help... distract me.
[Edit]
Ask and you shall receive... I'm keeping my trap shut next time and now to lock down my facebook.
