Waiting for the phone to ring
2008.04.18
Friday….., late morning,
Waiting for the phone to ring!
State of mind: confused, unable to focus
State of desk: mess
State of bank balance: terrible
Weather: cold, dull and very windy
Progress with list of jobs to do today: zero
Possibility of progress: currently zero
Yesterday was a big day – my second interview for a part-time job which I would really like. And would solve many problems. It’s down to two, I know that, but that is no guarantee.
And deep down I am convinced that there will not be a phone call, there will just be a letter returning my supporting documentation and an “it was an awfully close decision but” and as the day goes on I become more and more convinced of that.
So far this morning the phone has rung twice! Once it was Tuppy and a list of things I can do to help her – and which I could do today (but wont!) and once was Guy with news of Ann’s mother having a fall in Rhodes and maybe things I could do to help there (but wont - today anyway).
No today looks like being a write-off not even the ironing looks possible – and there isn’t much of that – it would only take a moment. But not today –today is destined to be a wallowing in indecision day – a day when maybe I could do so many things – even some work!
But no…
Because the phone might ring at any moment.
Or, on the other hand…
It might not

5 pm - No phone call - or email. But I have done the ironing - and sorted out the timer on the central heating which has been bugging me for ages - and done some (not enough) stuff for Tuppy. And, as my mood is lifted by listening to the Spohr double quartets (why didn't I do this earlier?) I am even tidying my desk!

Ah, one of those days..... Well, spending the day in indecision is better than spending the day with nothing at all.
