Notes on being plugged in online – Opening emails

Workers' Archive

Dec 1

I had another day plugging myself in online to avoid reality of decisions and actions, including, opening certain emails. As I write now, I'm listening to audio from a current affairs news show.

I had an interview for a voluntary role today and I emailed them asking for a new date. Waking up in the morning and suddenly remembering that I had to travel to the interview horrified me. I also suffer from chronic fatigue and I was feeling this as well. I know I could've gone but somehow, my fears and despairs won.

I haven't been able to open my email account to see the reply. So, I don't know, for sure, that the email was received and I don't know if another interview has been offered. I suppose, it might be, as it was a voluntary role. For all I know, the proferred alternative is tomorrow morning - and it is midnight now.
