Back to work

Today I go back to work, from my long holiday, it feels really crappy having to go back to work again. I realised now that I REALLY should have done more in my holiday.
I tried to get back in touch again with old friends who I don't get to see as often as I'd like because of my annoying working hours, but everyone just happened to be "busy". I'd say something along the lines of "Hey any time you're not busy, we'll do something." They'd usually say "Yeah sure, will do", then nothing! Now I had pretty much a whole month off....I don't know maybe I'm just being too melodramatic or something, I'm sure everyone has more pressing issues to attend to than to see little old me. I'm sure crashing my car didn't really help. (see other post)
Which also by the way sucks! Because of the fact that I live in the middle of nowhere and my closes friend lives about 6 miles away. I could probably cycle there I guess, but its really not worth cycling 2hrs there and back again. Plus the transport service in this area is really crap, the buses go nowhere and the taxi's are way too expensive. If I was in London it would probably be ok, I know a lot of people complain about the London underground service, but I really think that its good, because you can get pretty much anywhere in London on the tube.
Anyway back on topic again.
I guess everyone hates going back to work after a long holiday and now I know how it feels. I don't think it would be so bad if it was a job that I would actually kinda enjoy, which was one of the things that I should have been doing more of, finding a new job.
Now before you say anything, I have been looking, I just haven't found anything that I want to do. And all the ones that I applied to I generally either hear nothing, or get a blanketed email saying "Sorry [random dude] but you didn't get the job this time... blah blah blah."
What I really want to do is move away and get a place somewhere near where I work. But I want to get the job first then move out, so I know that I can afford the place I'm living in. But most places (I'm assuming) don't want to hire me because I live too far away.
Where as, if I was to move away and get a place, the chances of me finding a job in the field that I want is highly unlikely, so I'd probably have to find something to fill the gap in the meantime like Tesco's or something which would be annoying as hell. So I'm kinda in a stalemate at the moment.
What else have I been doing...I have been trying to get back to rekindle some of my old creative talents, like drawing and stuff, but lately I haven't had the inspiration. I think I was trying to find something that I could possibly pursue as a career, because all I seem to do is play on my Xbox or randomly surf the internet and that isn't really going to get me anywhere in life. I just feel I need to do something that I could maybe apply to the outside world that could help. Oh well! I'm sure stuff will work itself out. I hope!
