Hey, hey, hey! I'm back! Albeit on a telecommunications device, but I'm here!
Did y'all miss me? Anyway. I have moved house! Yes, I have! I loved, yes, you read right, past tense, loved the new place until..stuff happened. Another story. I moved all on my own. I had a 2 hour window to move the heavy stuff but the rest, I'm paying for. Anyway! I'm in a smaller house. I thought I could run away but alas! Everything that I do seems to haunt me!
My 'dream job' went as sour as dairy products. But that's another blog or a phone call to the correct authorities. This whole blog makes sense to me and when I finally gather my brain together, it will makes sense to you too!

Jealousy

Life is finally treating me right. I've been through more than anyone would like in a lifetime! But, you know what?
I believe, after 23 years, I deserve it. I've brought up a family, I've had my share of..tyrannical people and I really don't care what anyone else thinks! I know what I've came through to get where I am!
So, if anyone I know thinks I seem to be above them, they really don't know me as a person!

On the Move.

Well! How things change! Work is fab now it's under new management! I now love my job!
I also have a date for the move. It's all happening on the 1st of June. Meep!
Well, I get the keys on the 1st but I'm moving on the 2nd. everything is all sorted out, thanks to the wonderful new friends I've made through work. They are an amazing couple and I owe them big time. I have lots of respect for these people and now need to find time to invite them for drinks at my new crib!
Daughter #1 is always there. As usual, I can rely on her for everything. <3
So, yeah, more upbeat now that everything is happening. I just wish I wasn't a last minute sorta person. But then I'm kinda long in the tooth. Life experiences and such.
The moral of this tale....never give up. If you beleive strongly enough and work hard enough, sometimes your nightmares turn good.

New Job

So, as the title says, I got this new job. Not exactly what I applied for but I was given the impression at my interview that it was a step up the proverbial career ladder. How wrong I was. I am unhappy, I have nothing to work with and the criticism is not that constructive.
Feeling pretty pissed off about it all at the moment. I put my heart and soul into it and have got nothing in return.
I feel used for the first time in 15 years. Pretty close to throwing in the towel to be honest. It's affecting my whole life, soul, being. I'm too old to deal with that.
My problem is that I got daughter #1 a job there too and I feel my negativity is rubbing off on her. She may or may not enjoy it but it's a horrible atmosphere to begin with anyway.
The moral of the story is that my dream job seemed to have, somehow, turned into a nightmare. I was a happier person without it.

New Job.

Okay. I went to interview #1. It was for the position of Bar Supervisor. After being impressed by my cv, the manager of said establishment stated that he was also looking for a head chef and that I was exactly what he was looking for and would I be interested. Who was I to say no to such a good chance?!
The establishment has just been bought over after being closed for two years. It's being completely refurbished with all new staff. I will have my own kitchen, two chefs under me and a kitchen porter. Go me!
I'm well excited and can't wait to start. Looks like my life is finally falling into place.
Oh, I never went to interview #2. Would you've?!

Nostalgia.

Well, I've managed to line up a couple of interviews tomorrow. Wooo! No college again. Ooops.
One job is a chef in a nursing home about 10 or so miles from my house, the other is supervisor in a pub about 6 miles from my house in the other direction!.
Because of my health, I've put on a stack of weight in the last six months. Ergo, I have nothing to wear to either of them! I'm thinking I might've packed the 'Spanx' already. Any help would be appreciated ladies.
On another note, looking through all the stuff that came from the loft brought back some memories! Good and bad! I forgot that I was a mad teapot collector! I have loads!! Seem to have grown out of that now so a visit to eBay might be in order for all those other mad tea pot people! I don't even like tea! Oh the irony.
I found loads of stuff I thought I'd thrown out so I believe eBay will be seeing a lot of it. What I did enjoy looking over was school books, calendars, cards and all the other stuff the kids made when at school. Nostalgia!!
I even allowed daughter #1 to read through my diaries. She loved that bit!
Great weather today too. I hate the cold so it suits me perfectly.

That Awkward Moment....

Continuing on from my last post, I'm not a good sleeper at the best of times but I'm a drunk sleeper. I was awakened on Sunday morning by rumblings in the bathroom. Once I got my head together, I remembered the ex was on my couch. Grabbing my dressing gown, I ran downstairs and there he was, phoning yet another taxi! Anyway, to quote the kids on facebook.....'That awkward moment when' it was time to say bye. It was fine the night before, a good drink and it's kisses and hugs to everyone but I'm rather more reserved when sober. It was okay considering. A peck on the cheek and a 'be in touch' later and he was away. I still felt the taxi driver thought he was a booty call but maybe that's my paranoia.
