So many things to do,
So many things to learn,
Yet, so little cash to spare!
Been thinking of picking up new courses.
I'm currently in the midst of a mandarin class
(What?? I hear, yes, I'm brushing up my mandarin. I finally understand the importance and usefulness of it)
And am considering picking up a certificate in workplace training.
It's just an idea I got whilst looking for jobs.
Of course, it's just another item on my to-do list.
My priority is to get another job -
One that would let me go on my planned holiday!
One that would pay heaps more
One where my contributions are recognised and appreciated.
I'm not asking for much, am I?
| Your Life Path Number Is 3 |
|
You are among the entertainers of the world, bright, effervescent, sparkling people with very optimistic attitudes. You possess the most exceptional creative skills: normally in the verbal realm, writing, speaking, acting, or similar endeavors. The lesson to be learned with a 3 life path is that of achievement through expression. The bright side of this path stresses harmony, beauty and pleasures; of sharing your creative talents with the world. Capturing your capability in creative self-expression is the highest level of attainment for this life path. You are warm and friendly, a good conversationalist, social and open. A good conversationalist both from the standpoint of being a delight to listen to, but even more importantly, one who has the ability to listen to others. You are always a welcome addition to any social situation and know how to make others feel at home. Your reative imagination is present, if sometimes latent, as the you may not be moved to develop you talent. Your approach to life tends to be exceedingly positive, and your disposition is almost surely sunny and open-hearted. You effectively cope with all of the many setbacks that occur in life and readily bounce back for more. It is usually easy for you to deal with problems because you can freely admit the existence of problems without letting them get you down. You have good manners and seem to be very conscious of other people's feelings and emotions. Life is generally lived to the fullest, often without much worry about tomorrow. You are not very good at handling money because of a general lack of concern about it. You spend it when you have it and don't when you don't. On the negative side, a 3 may be so delighted with the joy of living that the life becomes frivolous and superficial. You may scatter your abilities and express little sense of purpose. You can be an enigma, for no apparent reason you may become moody and tend to retreat. Escapist tendencies are not uncommon with the 3 life path, and you find it very hard to settle into one place or one position. Guard against being critical of others, impatient, intolerant, or overly optimistic. Typically, the life path 3 gives an above-average ability in some art form. This can encompass painting, interior decorating, landscaping, crafts, writing, music, or the stage, or all of the above. You are apt to be a happy, inspired person, constantly seeking the stimuli of similar people. Your exuberant nature can take you far, especially if you are ever able to focus your energies and talents. |
Woke up this morning
Still feeling slightly flat from knowing that an agent deleted my resume for a position without even reading it.
Pft.
Just confirms my hate for applying jobs through employment agencies.
Felt slightly better when I found $10 in the pocket of an old pants
Woohoo!
The smallest things always makes the best surprises.
Cheap thrill, I know!
Everyday the past week
I've been brazenly searching the web for jobs.
Who cares if one of the managers sits behind me, who cares if the principal and her little devious lapdog sees what I'm doing.
I've openly admitted that it's necessary to be aware of what's happening in the market.
Everyone's disposable. I'm merely looking after my own well-being.
I've sick of complaining, whinging and not doing a thing. So I have sent off resumes to several agents - no doubt I won't hear a single peep from them but I just needed that push.. even if I don't get calls, I know I'm on the right track.
Afterall, I've been told to send a clear positive signal to the universe for any positive change to take place.
Here's hoping!
It's finally dawned upon me
That very message - a kick start to the cycle.
Perhaps the mind is playing tricks, or it simply a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Almost a sense of relief, tho, I am at two minds about my true feelings.
Yesterday morning was depressing.
I came into work, only to find my chair nicked, it felt like the universe was hinting.. "go home, you're not needed today"
If no one saw me walk in, I would have quite happily marched out back into the car. I was sleep deprived, grumpy with skin burning from scratching all night.
I wept silently when I finally found my chair..
then a phonecall.
More hair pulling frustration. More people unwilling to take responsibility.
Well, for fuck's sake - You're the one getting paid the big bucks, so don't look at me cos' I ain't doing your job.
More weeping.
Nick suggested being burnt out from work.
Possibly so. It's been a long 6 weeks into the semester and we've only just slowed down. It won't be long before we have to crank it up for the next semester.
I'm so sick and tired of work.. actually I'm just more tired of the office politics. I wasn't born to play the game.
I just want my fortnightly pay - let me be.
Bah.
I love almonds.
Especially dry roasted almonds from the market...
but overdosing on it has inadvertly caused me to be allergic to them as well.
It's the end of the world.. I cry for my loss even as I scratch my skin raw..
*sniff*
Management is away for the next 2 days..
Hoorah..!
When the cat's away, the mice come out to play!
I've rediscovered the joy of writing in a journal.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen.. it's the return of the dark ages where all words are penned onto paper. My last journal entry was dated 27 April 2000. 2000! 5 years! Where did all the time go? Events have come and gone... reading past entries dating back to 1997, 1998.. all I could say to myself was that I was one hellva confused dweeb. Not that I might be any better 5 years down the track, but hey, hopefully I'll learn a lesson or two.
Manual writing is a little, no make that, very tiring to try and keep up with the mind. It's faster and neater to do it all on the computer, but somehow it lacks personality. I like reading my ugly handwriting.... :)
Anyways!
I'm all set for my tour at the end of the year. All I have to do now is cough out the require moolah by October - gag! and fingers cross that the agent doesn't cancel the tour due to low numbers. Afterall, who in the right mind would arrange for travel to Europe in winter when it's hot and sunny in Australia?
I'm gob-smacked at the great weather we've been having the past few weeks. It's summer all over again.. sunny, slightly windy.. 30 degrees.. this is what Australia is all about - not the crap, wet, miserable autumn we usually get. That saying, we are expecting a cold change later today - You gotta love Melbourne that way :)
A whinge. I got a fucking parking fine yesterday. I was late for 2 fucking minutes. The bloody inspector probably stood there and watched the meter tick over to 'expired'. Bastard.
I'm going to see if I can contest this. Half the meters in the city are spoilt and don't keep track of time properly anyway!
Huff!
I've decided that I need to do something big, for myself, at least.
I'm making plans to do a short trip to Europe - just for a change.
To experience a real winter, you know.
This is going to be my thing. We'll see how I survive with being on my own in a foreign country for a few days :)
