A day hardly worth writing about. I watched live footage of the launch and docking of a rocket going to the International Space Station, as heroes again live the life I only dream of. My sense of profound viewing was interrupted by my Mum talking every bit of trivia she could to drown out a moment of history.
I job searched, hoping my efforts are enough to keep Welfare off my back before my meeting with them tomorrow which I dread as always.

Sounds like you need a DVR so you can tape things and listen to the entire program when you have time to yourself. I get the kids interrupting me and the shows I really like I don't want to miss the interactions and so forth. A rocket launch could be fun to see again.

It was the sense of watching it as it actually happened that made it particularly special - hearing which neighbours sent us which Christmas cards could wait

@arthurchappell ....I would think that if your family knows you at all they would know this was important to you and be still for a few minutes. I know mine would.

@celticeagle my family seem to think if it annoys you they should do it even more sadly

it is bad, especially as some stuff I write is inspired by my TV viewing even on sites like this where I can earn from it

@arthurchappell I can understand that they do not have so much to do or to think, but I believe it's not the age, my Mom has always been that way.

Sounds like an alright day other than your mom talking your ear off. I hate being interrupted while watching my shows

I understand your irritation, but your mum probably didn't realise you were really interested in the programme. I hope things go well for you tomorrow. I find it really hard to believe that a man of your obvious talents shouldn't be able to find a job.

my mum always likes interrupting people trying to pay attention to other stuff - she often boasted to friends that she was going to distract her husband if he went to watch football in another room. Many guests stop visiting because of her constant excuses to walk in their guest room anything up to every few minutes - it is very annoying behaviour

Well that was annoying. I hope your meeting goes well, it is hard trying to find a job worth having.
