How is everyone? We have moved and it is great but haven't managed to let our old place yet, seems the demand is pretty low at the moment. We hadn't anticipated that as is perfect rental, and most of the time units in our block have had people queuing up. Job is OK, (still just OK :-)), the school I really dislike, but DD enjoys, life just hurtling along really. DS is desperate to go to school and bores DD's teachers every morning, I just hope he is so keen by time Jan 2017 goes around. It doesn't help he is a tall kid and very outgoing so people just assume he is going next year and keep asking him.
Mum and Dad back in a few weeks which will be great as means I can cut out some OHSC and one day of daycare till end of year.
Hi, it's so very very quiet in here. How are you all going?
I hope you've managed to let your old place by now wysiwyg.
I've got an interview coming up in a couple of days for a job I'd really like. Would also just quite like to know what the answer is if we'll be packing up and moving and me returning to work or if we'll be staying put for a while longer.
Yes the whole of BellyBelly is so dead these days, is a shame I liked this thread especially.
Hope the interview goes well nyigi
Yes we finally got tenants and that is all fine. Work is OK (but really not keen on my boss) - DD's school still drives me insane - all her OHSC staff are leaving the end of this year found out today which was a shock as they are really great.
I got offered another position back with a previous company, but I had to turn it down, wouldn't be such a good commute (nothing ever will) and more hours and pressure and contract rather than permanent but I would have enjoyed it more - I would have jumped at it pre-kids but now I just couldn't do it - I resent that a little bit. Years ago I could never understand why people stayed in jobs they didn't like just for the location and hours - but now I kind of get it, just am not at peace with it yet.
super quiet in here now - I struggle to get on computer for non-school related things (finished my uni stuff) and the BB app & other forum app thing (can't remember the name of it) haven't been friendly to me for a while so I don't check it often.
I've gotten another contract for next year - teaching Yr 10-12 class at an Aboriginal school in the Adelaide region where I taught this last term. I'm looking forward to it as I know the kids and they're mostly okay And it's a whole year contract which means late Jan 16 to late Jan 17 pay (very nice feeling). Just need to get through this Dec-Jan for now with minimal pay (DH subcontract work) & Centrelink payments.
Hi leckert, great to hear you've got a whole year contract next year and one you're looking forward to. Good luck getting through the next couple of months of minimal money. My husband does contracting work and while he's been doing enough work for us to get by on lately people are very late in paying him so we'll also be having a tight couple of months. Looking forward to when the money does come in though, it's kind of enforced saving .
Interview done. No idea how it went though not really expecting anything too much from it. We'll see in a few weeks.
Oh wow just heard back from them and they are offering me the job. I've got a meeting tomorrow to discuss start date etc
Thanks for the well wishes wysiwyg! .
And I really understand re the difficulties of deciding between job and location. It's hard. I've also turned down a couple of options due to location. This time I'm very lucky as the job is pretty ideal and the general location is pretty good for us. We'll be moving back to Australia so the boys will be able to see their family a little more (though all still in other states). Next step I guess is working out whereabouts exactly we're going to live in Melbourne. Good luck reaching a balance you can be at peace with!
