Thursday 12th October, 2:45pm
"It never rains, it only pours." And boy has it poured over the last 24 hours... my flat is damp around the edges
and I'm waiting for my landlord to get back to me about the leaks in the kitchen and lounge *frown* Parts of the train
line from Brighton to London are underwater so it's a case of working from home today, and as my emails and phone calls
prove - I have actually been working from home.
Unfortunately tonight's planned EventList trip to see a recording of Celebrity
Ready Steady Cook is off, shame... But I can't risk being late in tonight with all the preparation I have to do for
tomorrows interview - eeeeek, and of course since it's Thursday evenign I also have to get FridayHumour
out - is my work never done?
Significant steps have been taken toward leaving TMP, not least 35 applications god knows how many conversations with
recruitment agencies. Refusing to go on the two day organised US-organised training has perhaps given out the biggest
message internally that I'm serious about this. One of the things that's struck me is the type of stuff I've seen and
been interested in and the money that's being paid. Seems I can be an ambitious little sod and that I'm hungry for a
big pay rise - no shocks there then. The interesting thing is the recruitment agencies seem to be if anything pushing for
a higher level job than I would have applied for with an even bigger salary... ho hum... should be amusing if I can pull
it off, drinks on me!!!
Lyrics of the moment:
Friday 13th October, 6:05pm
Wahey! Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!
Well the whole thing of Spencer sticking a job for 15 months or more has been proven to be false but what the hell
I'm ready to pop some champage *big face rub*
And one of the agencies wanted to put my CV to our leading competitor. He he. Something possibly slightly more
sensible out of me later. Maybe.
Lyrics of the moment:
Monday 16th October, 11:00am
*Urgh* today is not going well - the rain has returned which means instant train disruption, the electricity
key in my flat failed so no alarm this morning and so I'm running late. And I have to tell my boss that I've
got a new job. How bad can today get? Please don't answer that I don't really want to know...
Today I guess is about reality and maybe by facing up to the piece of reality that says I'm not going to be
happy where I am working at the moment will help. Can't imagine that it will be a shocj to that many people at
work - but judging by recent comments I reckon anyone who isn't happy for me will be convinved I'm letting the
team down. Sadly, they may be right - which has beent he problem all along. I work with a fantastic bunch of
people but that isn't enough to keep me sane considering all that has happened over the past five or six months.
Thankfully it's not just an escapist route either - there's more money (guess who's chasing the property
dream again??) and it's actually going to be developmental for me getting back staff and budgetary responsibilities.
Scary, exciting, kewl.
Lyrics of the moment:
"Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
There's a place
Waiting just for you (just for you)
It's a special place
Where your dreams all come true
Fly away (fly away)
Swim the ocean blue (swim the ocean blue)
Drive that open road
Leave the past behind you."
S Club 7 "Reach" (7, 2000)
"When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
That's what my mama told me
Round and round you go."
Madonna "Deeper and Deeper" (Erotica, 1992)
"And the three men I admine most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died."
Madonna "American Pie" (2000)
