    Hmmm. Ok thanks Kelly. Maybe an agency isn't the right thing then afterall if they only want to place me anywhere just for the money. I thought that there were places that would carefully match job and candidate. I'm probably better going direct to the companies I'd like to work for.

    Liz: See I'm not sure. I have a very broad work experience. I know more about what I DON'T want to do than what I do. I don't want to work in child-care or hospitality even though I have done mostly that. I'd like to start as an office admin assistant I think... I've done that before and it was one of the better paid and less physically demanding roles I have done. With my thyroid condition i don't have the physical energy to be on my feet all day. Filing, data entry, reception, taking phone calls I think would be the better direction. I can present very well... have excellent communication and people skills... I think I could capitalise on that. Someone suggested working in a museum or art gallery... maybe I could do that... have a Fine Art Degree...

    I guess I'm lucky in that I'd be working for my own sanity, rather than desperately needing the money. I'm not going to put up with pettiness and/or little Hitlers like I have before in the work-place. If it's a toxic environment I'm not going to stick around like i have in the past. I'm not going to work for people who are awful. Maybe it's best i choose the organisation after all. A lady at David Jones once told me to put in an application to work with her (she worked there... I didn't know her until that day) ... we got talking and had great rapport...
