Today we ran out of apple juice so when I needed a sugar boost, I was reduced to green rivella. No other drink in the history of mankind has tasted so artificial while making a claim to be wholesome and natural. Except perhaps Sunny Delight which was bought once by accident, poured down the sink and never spoken of again.

I laugh. I can do that now as these things no longer affect me directly. Though according to some co-workers, they can feel the anger radiating from me when I speak of politics or public services in Ireland. Latest political poll showed over half those surveyed believe the leader of the country is lying about his finances to a tribunal. Same poll shows support for his party is up. Any time I try to reconcile these results my brain feels like it might explode.

Today I got some useful work done. I feel less tired when I manage to do something productive, even though it takes more energy and concentration. I've also taken 2 months off from German classes before starting one next month that is purely grammar and in a different format. Instead of a 'small' group (it was 10 people by the end), there are up to 60. First there is a lecture, and then we subdivide into group exercises. Hopefully that will suit me better than the random 'chatting' I was doing in the last course. I can do random chatting at coffee breaks for free.

I'm hungry. Damn.
