Eliminated from The Isalnd

Elimination!

After my three rejections from my job applications, I decided it was time to remove myself from the Island for a while and see the bigger world.

Girls weekend in Melbourne was called for and I was excited but exhausted before I even started.

My main objectives:

  • Shop until I could not shop any longer
  • Eat 
  • Be merry
  • and more shopping


So let the fun begin.  I started o my journey and headed strait to the shops to find some clothes and I was not disappointed. I got some nice work tops and also some lovely skirts. I was in my element. It was time to grab that bargain.

While I was in Melbourne I manged to take in a few sights that the city has to offer.


Love old buildings!

Coffee in the alley, very Hipsterish. 




I am not sure what I like more the hunt for a great bargain or getting new clothes. The best fun I had was going around IKEA. Although I could not buy much as I could not fit into my luggage.
Wigs at Ikea... got to love that.




Follow-up: Well had an amazing hot chocolate when in Melbourne. I have not been doing exercise... I ended up with the dreaded lurgy instead. Stuck in bed for 2 weeks and had the most stunning scabby nose. Got to love winter. It must be time for Spring!

Three Interviews and No Plan

Three Interviews!

The three jobs I applied for, I got three interviews.
The first one as you know went very bad and I know the shock and surprise to find out that I did not get that one.

The second one was with the accounts, the interview went so much better. I think that was because I kinda knew that it was not really what I wanted to be doing.

I did get a lovely call to tell me that I had not got the position but they were very impressed with me. It was such a relaxing and there was no personality test. Yeah.

The third one was the job that I was drawn to. I wanted this job but my life plan... that I was doing said it was not for me.

Yes. I am doing a life plan - have not got far with it. I started to write the plan down.

The Question was asked "What are you main priorities in life?".

I scribbled down things that I could think of:

  • Work
  • Husband
  • Dogs
  • Socializing 
  • Friends
  • Family
  • Photography
  • Being Creative - writing, drawing


I sat for a while looking at the list thinking that something was missing. Then it hit me - my health - the reason that I am doing the life plan because something needs to change as I am over working and getting sick. I deleted that list and time to start again.

Back to the third interview. It was amazing, the women interviewing me was so lovely and when I left I thought. I might not have the job but I have a new friend.....
Did not get this job either, it was three for three. My confidence was cracked and I was feeling a bit low. At least I might have mad a new friend. looking on the bright side.

Sunset on a Rough Week!


Follow-up: Have been doing the Yoga but I need to do more to loose weight. No Hot chocolates I feel that I am wasting my winter.
