Ranting season

Written by Fiz

I have just officially resigned from my current position.

I am happy that I left and what's more - my work colleagues are saying good on ya for leaving. That workplace is a freaking zoo.

So, I am back to being unemployed again.

On another issue, if there is one thing that I know and learned for the last few months is to never procastinate on any household chores!

If I don't clean the dishes for just one day, it all piles up. If I don't wash and iron the clothes, it will be left untouched for ages. If I don't top up on shopping groceries, I'll end up slogging the items all by myself walking all the way home. Like today, I was carrying 8 plastic bags and 6 large water bottles on my own for about 800m walk.

Now, all my friends know how strong I am but even with this, I struggle like mad and I was sweating as though I just did a 2km run. I had to stop every 200m and put all the items down. I had lots of stares. Ergh.

I am dying to speak to someone in the same situation as I am. Its so frustating.

But to make it worse, I can't complain anymore since I will be a housewife again till I get another job. So Im back to doing cleaning, cooking and washing full time. I swear cleaning is twice what it used to be in Oz - maybe it has something to do with us being in the middle of the freaking desert? Theres sand and dust everywhere. And we live in an apartment. I can't freaking imagine leaving in a villa in Arabian Ranches for instance - that would be hell to clean.

Why can't men share the household chores? Its almost impossible to get them to clean.

I spoke to this single guy the other day and I mentioned the whole cleaning thing, and he just nod his head and agreed. He said that he doesn't clean his dishes untill several days later and doesn't bother with cleaning in general. The only time he cleans is when he has visitors coming.

Does that remind you of someone?

Arrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!
