All alone

My roommate has gone for the weekend yesterday. And the couchsurfers left today. I feel so alone already.

Couchsurfing, what is that? To be honest, it is madness for HSP, that is what you would think. It's an homepage in the internet (couchsurfing.com), where you create a profile and invite people to come an sleep on your couch. You do not know the people before and you live quite closely with them as long as they stay. We do anyway, because they sleep on our couch in the living room/kitchen area.

At first I didn't think I could handle couchsurfers. By any means, I need so much time alone and get really stressed when with new people! So it was my roommate that had the couchsurfers and all responsibility. With the time I got used to it. Then I took in and swedish guy, that really needed somewhere to sleep that very day he wrote. My roommate was in Africa at that time. I just couldn't say no. So he came and we had so much fun. And I learned much about myself those 3 days. Now I know I can handle it and love to have people around.

We just had two polish women staying here and now they left. I feel alone, because they were really nice to be with.

Work - The need of a joy-factor

Well, I am sick. Again. It is like life slaps me right in the face. Again.

Altough, I haven't ever been sick since I started in my new job in a new kindergarten, that was around Easter. But now i caught this terrible cold and I am feeling really bad. My sister was like: Wow, it feels like you're sick ALL the time. Which probably was true before, in the old joy-killing job that i couldn't handle.

The joy-factor in a job is important for my health. And i really enjoy my current job. The people are really nice, and the children are children... Right? What it boils down to: The co-workers are important for my health.

Wow, this makes my life quite depending on others... But it is. With co-workers I can't cope with, it is impossible for me to make a good job. And thats what I intend to do. Too high expectations to myself, yeah, but I have learned to screw them down to an ok-level. But I definitly think of my work at home, what to do better and how.
