long day, longer night

i don't think i'll be sleeping tonight.
trust me, that aint as bad as what i thought would be my fate.
i thought i'd never leave work.

a colleague's gone on a 2-week hiatus.
i have to take over his stuff and i'm a bit rusty.
worked from 9 am to 8pm.
ain't so bad if you're in asia.
but hello this is australia.
where everything and practically everyone's laid back.

i haven't really finished work but i left everything there.
they can wait til tomorrow.

i'm home working on my writing assignment.
checked my emails.
got one from a recruitment agency.
they gave me a gentle snub.
'we do not handle entry-level positions.
but if you want to be in an ad agency,
you gotta go to AWARD school, blah blah..'

i found that email in my bulk mail.
he was kind enough to offer some kind advice.
sigh.

i mailed my thank you letters.
if i failed to mention it here,
you'd know that i went to an interview,
if you were my friend and i managed to update you.

that letter was to exercise good manners
and also to redeem my poor interview performance.

i really want to be elsewhere.

i really should get this article out of the way.
