Uni

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 11:41:44 GMT

I had my first class for the semester today. It was good to be back but at the same time i had to sit there and listen to stuff I already new. But what I found shocking was that the lecturer started talking about someone and one of the girls in the class who is working as a Neuropsych and knows about confidentiality went "is that [persons name] you are talking about?" completely innapproriate but the lecturer didnt really say anything. Considering ethics are major subjects in any psych courses, i was shocked that she just blurted out the name. But then again, maybe thats just me

Ok, I know i kind of fell of the face of the earth there for a while, but i'm back. I went to sydney for a couple of days which was awesome, just what i needed. It was even better when i won some money at the casino the first night which pretty much paid for all my shopping so i didnt come back broke. The holiday was pretty much perfect until i woke up with the flu on the day i had to leave and when the plane came in for a landing into Perth I damaged my inner ear, leading to a lot of pain and a couple of days off work when i got back. But all is well now, cant fly for a while but the pain is pretty much gone YAY!

Uni starts next week so its back to the hard slog and no social life :(
I also have to go back to full-time work for a couple of weeks (on top of uni) to manage my current work load which will make life interesting, but hey, i love a challenge.

I had a client trying to set me up with her 26 year old son today. She is really nice and I am sure the son is too but the next time she mentions it I will have to turn her down. I think I have about half the office trying to set me up at the moment. Should be interesting. Have also been talking to a guy on the internet lately. He is really sweet, but not really sure I am going to go with it, at least not just yet.

I know, it sounds like avoidance blah blah blah. Its not, I am actually enjoying life at the moment, so why mess with it, plus I am not entirely over someone else, not that i ever had a chance. Anyway family and career are the priorities at the moment.

Alright, that pretty much brings everything up to date at the moment. Not all that interesting but hey, thats me.

Employee of the Month

I was just named Employee of the Month for June 2006. YAY

High Prices

Mon, 10 Jul 2006 00:35:03 GMT

I took Patrick to the movies yesterday to see Over the Hedge. It was a great movie but it cost a fortune to go see. It cost me $11.50 for a 5 year old. Ok i've had my whinge.

Patrick birthday went great, he was higly spoilt and he loved it.

I have been thinking a lot lately about a certain person in my life, and how its possible to hate and love someone all at the same time. I mean, my skin literally crawls when this person is around but I know that if something were to seriously happen to them back in my life, only problem is I cant, I mean I have in the past, too many times to count actually, and every time I just end up getting hurt. I made a decision a while ago that I wouldn't do it again, try and protect myself, but I wonder if I'll regret it later. Not that I am going to change my mind, but sometimes I just wonder. Ok clearly I have gone off topic and again I am ranting, I really have to stop doing that. I will put it down to a lack of sleep, since even though I am asleep for a decent amount of time, it seems to be plagued by dreams, both good and bad, but with one recurring character (not the same person that makes my skin crawl). Hmm, I am sure they will let up soon, not that I am complaining about the good ones but I am really tired.

catch up

Thu, 06 Jul 2006 14:28:57 GMT

ok, i got a bit slack with my updates....so what has been happening lately? Other than work, not really that much. Work has been really hard lately. I am on my way up at work, the only problem is until they get someone to replace me, I am doing double the work. Also i keep haivng doubts about my ability to do the job which isnt really helping, plus the girl i have just taken over from spent her last week telling me how crap the role is and the girl I am working with in Employment Services is showing absolutely no respect for me over the past couple of weeks, which is making things difficult since I am the Coordinator. I am trying not to let it all get to me. I just keep thinking that I wont be in Employment Services for much longer, although now it looks like i will be Coordinator for a while longer yet. So now to work out how to regain the respect.

Oh, my social life doesnt suck that much. I did get to Toodyay last weekend with the group which was a blast, nice and relaxing, although i did experience depresive drunkeness, which was a new one for me. I have made a realisation this week though. Its not good to run or avoid feelings, thats not going to make them go away. I have decided my new approach is to embrace them, cause feeling something is better than feeling nothing. For those of you who have no idea what i am talking about, which would pretty much everyone, I apologise and will stop my ramblings.

Other than that, the ony news is that Patrick (nephew) is turning 5 tomorrow. YIPEE!!! We have invited, or should i say I invited on patricks behalf, 25 people to dinner. It should be an interesting night with plenty of fairy bread. He then has a kids party with his kindy friends on Sunday.

Alright that has to be a lot a rambling. For those of you who made it to this point of my ramblings congratulations and thank you. I will try and make the next entry much more coherant

What a milestone

Sun, 25 Jun 2006 09:45:58 GMT

Have just gotten home from my Nan & Pop's house where they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary, having an open house all weekend. To get an idea of how much of a milestone this is.....they dont even make cards to mark the occassion and they make cards for pretty much anything these days including Happy Birthday my step son in law etc etc. Anyway its a great acheivement and it was great to be there to help them celebrate.

Also I went to the WASO on friday night, to hear them play famous movie music, its was great fun, and i have decided I have to start doing more things like that.

And for other news...Perth Demons beat the pants of South Fremantle in the WAFL...YIPEE!!!!

Annoying security procedures

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 03:20:11 GMT

I undertstand the need for security procedures with computer passwords but this is getting rediculous. We have to change our work log on every two months or so and we arent allowed to repeat any. I am running out of things to use, I am going to have to start using suburbs or somehting soon, at least i wont run out of them.

Hiccups are evil

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 14:03:47 GMT

I went to two football games on the weekend and both were actual shockers. For three quarters my teams (perth demons and west coast) played pretty crap and then the last quarter (mainly the last 20 minutes) were the most exciting ever. I was on the edge of my seat, when i wasnt standing cheering. Both my teams ended up winning which made it a great weekend. The only downfall was that Patrick (my nephew) got tonselitis.

Back to the topic at hand......I have decided that Hiccups are evil. Not much else to report, sorry its not more interesting. Oh, my nephew calls them the hiccypops, does that make it more interesting??

Uni's Officially Over!!!!!!!!!!! Well Semester One is

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 04:15:59 GMT

I had my practical counselling exam today and I passed. YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!! It was actually easier than I thought it would be, but now its all over and im free, ahhh the relief.

Durress Alarm

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 00:55:30 GMT

Ok. I am officially going insane this morning. I got into work this morning just before 7am and the duress alarm has been going off that whole time. Two hours of a high pitched beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.

And just as it stops and you breathe a sigh of relief it starts all over again beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep.....Will it ever end?

On a positive note, had a great weekend last week with Karen back for the long weekend. Went dancing at the Old Bailey and actually had Steven on the dancefloor. Oh and we managed to fit in a sizzlers dinner as well which is always good, full of seedy conversation.

oooh silence. I wonder how long it will last. crap not long at all. There is goes again beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep
arrrggggggggggg

Mon, 29 May 2006 12:19:38 GMT

I just had my last class for the semester for one of my units and we had a 'party'. There was soooooooo much food I almost had to roll myself to the car. I only have one more class tomorrow night before I am finished for the whole semester. The only downfall is that i still have an assignment due next week :( . I probably should start that one of these days....hmmmmm, maybe later.

Poker - I dont totally suck

Sat, 27 May 2006 04:05:32 GMT

I came 30th out of 79. Turns out I am not as bad as I thought I was, althouth I wasnt really put up against really good players. Thats about all I have to say, other than....Vodka good!

Sydney

Thu, 25 May 2006 11:29:38 GMT

I have booked a trip to Sydney in July.....wooohooo!!!

I wasnt going to as the leave limit has been used up for the office but since i only work foiur days a week i have rearranged my days so that i can go to sydney for 4 nights over a weekend. YAY!

Poker

Wed, 24 May 2006 01:26:21 GMT

Had my intensive Poker training last night (thanks steven). I think i am slowly improving but the real test will be the poker tournament on friday night. I wonder how long i will last.

Had trouble getting out of bed this morning, was completely buggered as i usually am on a wednesday morning after two 13 hours days of work then uni. But there is only one more week of uni left and then i am on holidays (from uni anyway).

My appointment for this morning cancelled so i am kind of at a loss of what to do with myself, there is plenty of work but where do i begin?

Ok, thats about it for this riveting entry......till next time

Tue, 23 May 2006 03:07:11 GMT

I am still employed....woohooo

Mon, 22 May 2006 23:34:42 GMT

I couldnt think of an adequate subject heading for this entry. Basically I am packing it as my performance appraisal starts in an hour and a half. On a strange note I am less nervous about this one than i was the last one a yar ago...weird, especially since there were no issues last time. Although this is my second appraisal, maybe thats it. Or maybe i have just resolved to the fact that I am probably going to be fired. I know a very negative attitude but i would rather be prepared for something horrible rather than be caught off guard later. I really like working here and I dont want to leave, problem is that i am working for a company that seems to value quantity over quality, although when its about making money it does makes sense. Problem is that its not me. Id rather do things right than fast. Ok enought complaining, I probably should try and actually get some work done before I go in, so at least I get something done today. Not that i have much to do today with such a low workload right now.

Complicated

Mon, 22 May 2006 13:34:07 GMT

Who would have thought creating a live journal would have been this complicated......ok most people would have. I guess it is something that will keep me occupied for a while. At least I shouldn't be complaining of boredom for a while

Hello

Mon, 22 May 2006 12:35:19 GMT

Ok, this is my first entry onto LJ, so here goes. I wonder how long it will last.

I had uni again today and after a very stressful couple of weeks I actually enjoyed going today and getting the counselling practice. As the client though i picked the very safe issue of the poker tournament that i am playing in on friday night (no i am not good at poker, its just for fun), instead of discussing my work issues which i think i could have been there for hours talking about. With a performance appraisal scheduled for tomorrow it was probubly best not to talk about it anyway, but lets not go there.

Id say thats a pretty good start for my first live journal. Stay tuned for more riveting updates into the mind of kap_the_b_bunny (no i am not going to explain the name)
