night tossed thoughts

I had a strange night's sleep last night. Well really it was the prelude to actually falling asleep that was strange. The interview went well yesterday but what I did have rolling around in my head was the impression they gave about the reality of the job. My whole application was framed in terms of...

complications

Not long after writing yesterday's blog I went to the mail only to discover that I have been summons for jury duty for two months and that will, basically, use up the last two months of my paid leave and give me no opportunity to keep on with the job search. You have to laugh when you read... Sign in to see full entry.

a re-appearance

I haven't blogged since 2nd July and I feel like shooting the breeze! I think that's the longest I've gone without blogging and I'm not entirely sure why that's happened. Anyway I finished up with the hospital job (just after my last blog) and I've been on paid leave ever since. I've been sending... Sign in to see full entry.

a strategy for getting the job

Yes the countdown continues.. I now have two days to go in the job. A bunch of nurses from a department gave me chocolates and a card expressing unending thanks and such things and I was a little choked up and suddenly started dreading the thought that there's be more of that kind of thing before...

the hulk, strippers & the threat of invasion

Oh the pure and unmitigated joy of having Thursday as the last day in one's work week. Yes I have a Friday off and I shall use it well, I assure you amigos, and then I'm on the countdown with just two weeks to go in that job.

on the road again

There's a hint of flu in the air so I'm sucking down garlic and vitamin c and skipping the light fantastic on some delightful multivitamin pills that have me all dizzy in the head and ready to just write stream of consciousness style like I'm on the road. I hope I can get a job. I hope I don't end... Sign in to see full entry.

cold, sheep, independence day

It's so cold here that the temperature's grown teeth and is gnawing my bones. Lucky I have thermals and a beanie though I'm not wearing my beanie right now. I do have tracky daks on. Gotta love the tracky daks. I just wish I had a convincing pair of ugg boots, big ones that come right up my knees so... Sign in to see full entry.

aquatic thoughts

I woke up early this Saturday morning with some tightness in the back. Though I'm positive about all the changes I'm going through right now, there's naturally a touch of apprehension about the unknown which has tended to make itself known through some muscular knots between the old shoulder blades,...

are we there yet

There's some great chunk of my psyche that's started to go "are we there yet.. are we there yet" when it comes to finishing off the last few weeks in the job. I've done the round of letting people know I'm going and done the positive reflection on the beneficial aspects of my years in the job but I... Sign in to see full entry.
