    Good job be damned.I don’t love it, I’m not passionate about it.I’m not passionate about anything.Bloody depressing realisation. The only trouble with having a male boss is that you can’t say “PMS” and expect any real sympathy . You can’t expect it from a female boss either, for that matter.Depressing…

    I believe everyone has been in love, in some form or the other, by the time they hit their late twenties. A lot of people I know have been in relationships. Most of them are even married and into that all-consuming activity of baby-making & rearing. Few people I know…
