I despise my job now. The job I previously had was filled one month after my "death" and they had no room in the budget to bring me back. Rubbish, but whatever. Let them have their petty victories. I choose my battles a bit more wisely than they have. It will serve me better in the end.
Mother and I also went to the Ministry and looked into the necessary steps to have myself officially declared living again. Apparently I am categorized as undead or something right now. It's bothersome, but at least Mungo's will still pay the undead. Perhaps I will just leave it as such for now. I do not feel like I am really here anyhow.
The house-elf Clem made my favorite for lunch. How did she know? Also, Gray, he insists I call him Gray, keeps trying to talk with me. I appreciate his efforts, and most of the time he has very interesting conversation to offer, but I am not a social person. I hope I have not offended him, as he actually seems good for my Mother.
