Re: Bad Day
sending you both cyber hugs..!!!!!!!
I know how awfully depressing it can all get, but sometimes you just have to ride the storm, knowing you WILL come out of it the other side.
life seems crap at the moment, and you feel like your life will never progress to the bit you want more than anything else in the world...but it will come in time.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I now what you are going through, my cousin was killed in a car accident in September, he was only 36 and had a wife and kids. My thoughts are with you and your friend.
I also hope that you have found about JC’s job offer, fingers crossed for that.

Re: Bad Day
Really sorry about your friend. Everything just sucks sometimes. We are really convinced that we are doing the right thing, but the other night we had a blazing row about sweet FA, can only think that our heads are so full of Aus, however much we discuss, there is a flicker of fear in the back of our minds that has to come out in strange ways.
Hope you had good news from the company.

Re: Bad Day
thankyou everyone for your kind words and your support.
Sorry i couldnt call last night sam, i had to go round to my friends house to sit with her, as i think, the shock is starting to wear off now and she is becomming to relise he isnt comming back. Hopefully you are feeling better after a good nights sleep and we will get to have a chat soon.
This is the hardest thing i have ever had to do, and you feel so helpless watching your mate go thro something like this. And its right, it certainly puts things into perspective, life is short soo you must make every day count,and try not to argue over them silly little things......
Anyway,when i came back home at around midnight we called the company, and they apologised for not getting back to jc and said that they are in the process of putting together a package and a contract for him,and will email it to him by end of this week-beginnning of next week. So all that worry for nothing really.
But I just want to say to you all to make every day count and enjoy your life as much as you can,as seeing this makes you think about your own life so much.
anyway thanks again guys and for the PM's
hope your all ok and i havent depressed everyone too much

Because you never know, you may be able to finish it off in Australia, its always worth checking.
Give your friend a hug from me too.
If we cant let off steam on this site, where can we?
I wouldnt know where I would be without the support from here.
I just cant wait for the day that our TRA is completed and someone gives us the break we are looking for.

So sorry to read about your friend - Yesterday I went to my friends brothers funeral he was 21 and was also killed in a car accident. It is a nightmare situation and can understand what you are going through. My mum died in January very unexpectedly and my friends were wonderful and their support was what kept me going. Be strong for your friend and you will find support in each other and you'll get through the black times. Take care - and to all the others who are having a bad time try and keep chins up and keep fighting for what you want, unfortunately lows in life have to happen but believe me, I certainly appreciate the highs (however small) more now.
hugs to all who need them (((((((((((((((((((

I havent been posting on here for a few days cos on thursday night 1am, i had some terrible news that my best friends boyfriend of 12 years had been killed in a road accident. I rushed round there and spent the night with her.
The last few days have been sooo awful, and all i can do is cry as it is so unfair that such a young person, who was so full of life can just be taken like that. My friend is being so strong, but i think she is still on autopiolet as she arranging things and the funeral etc... i cant even being to imagine how she feels.
Before that we had received some great news that jc had a job offer in sydney Aus, we replied to their email and were just waiting for more news from the company.
As we hadnt planned to go to Aus so soon, and i wanted to finish my studying we were wondering if we were doing the right thing by going. after hearing how life can be cut so short we knew we were doing the right thing to take the chance and go.
Anyway, now the company have never even gotton back to us or replied to JC emails, which i think is very rude. so i am sat here now gutted for my mate, greiving for the loss of my friend and just in limbo about what i am doing with my life as i was so set on uping and leaving straight after xmas.
I just cant seam to pull myself together, why is life so unfair? why cant we just live it as we want and go to aus, seeing as its so short...... having to wait for some dude in a suit to give you permission to go there etc, etc....
My dog is also ill and hasnt eaten for a few days, i think she can sense my mood and i am trying so hard topull myself together and get on with life, especially after relising how short life can be. Its just so dark and cold here, i feel i cant stay here anymore, and i cant concentrate on my studies. Which i am also now worrying that if i do have to stay here for longer that i might even fail.....
We have decided to call the company tonight and find out once and for all what is happenning regarding the job offer, so hopefully i can pull myself together and get on with things.
I know i have to be strong, for my friends sake, but i just wish i could be in control of the situation............ 
sorry to be soo depressing, if anyone can say anything to help me get out of this please do as i feel like total shit and its so not like me.

Re: Bad Day
I found out yesterday that a mate from the place of work that I have just left was killed on his motorbike at the weekend. I only worked with him for a year but we chatted about bikes and the weekends racing etc.
I used to use my bike for work all year round and he used to tell me I was mad and that it was dangerous and that he only used his in the summer.
Turns out he was taking his bike for it's MOT, hit black ice, lampost, killed.
He was 60 but looked about 45.
Then everyone went home at work while I was working, locked up and put the alarm on so when I left I couldn't get the alarm to turn off properly so had to just lock the door and hope we didn't get robbed during the night.
