Well here I am, once again!  I’ve been rather busy, doing some temp work at a HUGE office, doing data entry – very tedious and tiring but it’s ok for nineteen dollars an hour!  Great money, plus we have booked our holiday to Surfers Paradise for next month so the money will really help.  I’ve got enough to go, but a little more can’t hurt!!!  I can’t wait!!

 

Also this week I’ve had 3 job interviews, one at a chiropractic clinic (receptionist), one at a department store (doing cash up and payroll) and another at a motel.  They would all be great jobs but there’s just one problem with all of them…the chiro one is only 3 days a week, the department store one is 28.4hrs per week, and the motel one is 20hrs per week & casual.

 

But…

 

I went back to see the chiro a second time (as they requested it).  He and his wife are very, very keen for me to work there.  I said I wouldn’t like to take the job, then have a full time job come up and leave them in the lurch.  They realize it’s because of the money and said (unbelievably!) that they would match what I was earning in my last full time job for those 3 days per week!!!  And they are 100% ok with the fact I have 2 weeks holidays booked.  I’m stoked!!  I feel like this is my year, the year where good things will happen for me.

 

The place where I’m temping is a huge office, all open plan.  Everybody seems to be very busy/stressed all the time.  Apparently a lot of the time this company will offer employment to temps.  But I don’t like it much there.  Having worked on a front desk situation and dealing with customers, I don’t find this work rewarding.  I don’t know what the end result is of the work I’m doing.  There is no satisfaction in that for me.  You don’t get to see satisfied customers and that’s what I really miss.  I was only meant to be working there for 2 weeks, and now the guy giving me the work has given me work to do for the next 2 weeks while he’s on holiday.  So that adds up to 3 weeks…I hate the unpredictability of it all though.  I need to give the chiro a date that I can start with them.  I might just call the agency I’m going through and say I can only be there for another 2 weeks so I can start training at this other job.  It’s too good an opportunity to miss out on.

 

Tonight I went to my boyfriend’s for a BBQ tea.  It was a really good night because he had some friends over.  Among them was the fiancée of one of the friends who I have a lot of time for, she’s great.  Then boyfriend decided he was going to bed, I said fine, but I’m happy to sit here and chat to the friends until I’m ready to leave.   To cut a long story short, he is angry at me because he thinks I like hanging out with them better than him, even though he was the one being anti-social and going to bed while he still had visitors!!!!  GOSH!!!!  I would look like a snob if I just wouldn’t associate with these people just because he’s tired and going to bed!!!!

 

So after I was ready to leave, I headed to the club to meet Mum and Dad, where Dad and I spent a lot of money (I dread to think how much exactly!!) on the chocolate machine once again…but we came home with 4 bags of chocolate and it’s fun anyway!!!!

 

Anyway, I might head off now as it’s 1:50am!!
