Just thought i'd pop in to say that things are looking much better all round. I am starting to enjoy the new job although we are still in the training phase so that could change! And DH has found another position too, which is even better really.
So i'm feeling positive. Which is nice, because it's been a shocking few weeks.
that's all I have to say, really!

New things to learn
So I went to Bendigo, and it wasn't all it was supposed to be.
I did learn a few great things about myself, and my dreams, which I must blog at some point.
I am here today just to remind people that I am still alive and still kicking, even though I'm pretty much vacant.
I started another job on Monday night and the learning curve is going to be ludicrously steep for the next four weeks. Throw the existing job on top of that, plus all the hours I am trying to get on top of that too, and you will begin to build up a picture in your minds of what is going on in mine.
I am not feeling brilliant about everything right now and every time someone says something at the new job about sadness or generosity or unhappiness or ... anything really.. I am finding myself fighting off tears.
I really do hope that's more about my current state of mind and lack of sleep than anything to do with the job itself, because I'm going to really struggle if it's the job. I NEED this job. I NEED to do well in it. Without it my family cannot afford to eat right now. So yeah. NO MORE CRYING OVER STUFF... Mmmmok???

What a week it's been
Interviews and applications for both of us, and so much work still left to do!
Had a second interview for a spot today, I'm feeling somewhat ambivalent about how I went for some reason. I wonder if it's because one of the interviewers was a man this time? I don't know. I react differently to men, so perhaps that was it.
All told it's been a ludicrously hectic few weeks. The worst, so to speak, is yet to come. I've got only two days now before I leave for Bendigo and although I am very excited, I'm also insanely nervous and mildy panicing about my abilities to get everything finished in time.
Thankfully i have managed to hook up the laser printer to the desktop so I can now print out my brochures. As long as the toner cartridges hold out, at least.
Speaking of which - I must go and do that right now.

ups and downs
Last night I had an entire blog post written in my head. It was a pretty negative one, with lots of focus on the negative stuff that has been going on here lately.
This morning I can only remember fleeting bits of it. This is a GOOD THING - it certainly shows what a decent nights sleep can acheive on one's state of mind.
So far today I have knitted up a lot of wool for felting later on this afternoon, and turning into slippers of some kind even later on than that. I have taken reciept of a HUGE delivery of fleecey goodness, which all needs to be bagged up into the right size receptacles, and priced and tagged and barcoded accordingly.
I have been confirmed for another job interview this time on Wednesday, which is OK. I wish these things weren't all the way in town though. Seems like such a long way to go from here.
You see, DH was the proud??? owner of an unexpected redundancy at work last week. As he was employed on a casual basis, it has left us in the lurch with no money for the next few weeks. So we have both been madly applying for jobs to try and get ourselves out of trouble.
Of course, Bendigo is still going ahead. I have put too much work and spent too much money in that direction to make missing it even worth a look in. The order that arrived today is evidence of that - I have to pay that bill yet. So we are going to sell out in Bendigo and come home happy little campers.
DH has a job interview Wednesday too. This is a good thing also. I am pleased that after being summarily dumped from the company he has worked for for the last 22 years, he seems to be reasonably content to get straight into applying for new opportunities rather than wallowing in misery.
I was very miserable last night but I am putting that behind me today and just getting on with stuff, damn it. So yeah, that's it
