BD - that is really crappy
wysiwyg - have fun at the conference
PN - hope your review was awesome
I have 2 weeks left of work, I am having a mental health day today, its just mind numbingly boring now. I have nothing to do all day, its worse than being busy, the days just drag. But hey, I get paid for it.
Have applied for a job at one of the universities. Management role, and its 10 mins from home - Fingers crossed. The application was mammoth - had to write up responses to 7 essential criteria (300-500 words each), but its done and submitted. One of my friends at the Uni reviewed it and she's confident I'll get an interview. Fingers Crossed!
What is wrong with people? One week left on probation, six weeks before Christmas? BD, so sorry you're in this position now What are you thinking you'll do now?
PN, how did you review go? I think we need lunch, I miss you.
Nyigi, Sahbear, good luck with job applications!
MN, mental health days are gooood. Enjoy. I can't imagine what your work must be like. Ghost town.
Wysiwyg, enjoy the conference. Glad you've got a plan.
AFM, I'm really struggling. I've been staying away cuz I feel like I just come in here and whinge and at least I have a job? Why am I whinging? But I hate it. Oh, it's fine when I'm here, even if it is pretty boring and sooo technically dry it's doing my head in. And I'm getting paid. I'm keeping our family afloat.
But I hate it. I don't want to be here. I haven't done a kinder run in weeks. I've no idea how DS1 is going at kinder. I've barely made it to school - I only get to do two days and mostly DH does the pick ups if he's coming home. I hate it. I always wanted to be a mum who ran around after their kids. They do my head in on my days off, but I'd rather be there, with them. I can't organise playdates because there's no time.
I can't really do anything different to what I'm already doing so please don't feel like I need advice on how to change things, I'd just love some hugs.
MN: good luck for the uni position!! Sorry to hear that things are not great in the grind down at work -- not having productive work to get along with is no fun.
Wysiwyg: happy schmoozing! Glad the 3 extra months is a good fit
Nyigi: thanks, hun
OP: Lunch, definitely. FB me some dates? I miss you too My review went ok (round 1 of 2) wish me luck for the next round! I'm sorry your work is sucking at the moment. Big fact squooshy hugs. I get wanting to have more time with the kids, I really do ... I'm glad you aren't after any solutions, because I have NONE. [/QUOTE]
AFM, I've had 1.5 days off work, trying to get better. Still just have pollution on the lungs from overseas, and my lower lungs aren't looking crash hot ... Dr said to rest - so I was at home, a bit of gardening, a bit of reading and rest, etc. Had the kinder market on Friday, so that was good, to take the DSs there and help DS1 get a bit more familiar with it ... It's the kinder AGM next week, and I'm aiming to be there, but it's really tough to get out early enough ... ! I'm hoping for it, though. To buy one of the uniform t-shirts, if nothing else
