Last sleep-in!

Ah, have finished my last sleep-in at work! No more working from 3pm to 3pm! I am so happy over this fact that I am almost bouncing! But last night was completely crazy. This little lady (one of the service users) started shouting at about 6-7pm and didn’t want to stop. She kept shouting through the night and started throwing things around, tearing pictures and banging her zimmer frame at both this and that. The other four service users were angry that they couldn’t sleep and that she was acusing them for making the noise! When I got downstairs this morning, after only sleeping for 4-5hours, I couldn’t believe what I saw! I couldn’t see the floor in her bedroom as she had taken everything out of her bedside cabinet and broken it and thrown it all across the floor! Really not going to miss that aspect of work!

Anyway, going to watch some CSI: New York in a minute.

Only 6 days left until I start my new job!

Today’s outfit

Long time ago I put one up, not that I wear anything interesting to work.. But here we go.

Cardigan H&M, White top SISTERS, Dark blue skinny jeans UNIQLO

(Haha, my legs look  bit funny, but it’s way I’m standing in fron of the mirror :p)

Bad news…

Matilda the guinea pig has passed away… Rest in peace, love!

Good morning!

Next to last day before October! That means that in 2 days I’ve had type one diabetes for 9 years… In one way it seems like it happened yesterday and in another it seems as though it was in another life… It just seems so strange that 9 years have passed and nothing has really happened in the care of diabetes. When I got diagnosed the doctor said “In 5 to 10 years we will have the cure!” Eh, yeah, whatever!

Still taking injections with insulin pens

Anyway, today Ive got a lot to do. Need to go to my post office and sort some things out, I sent a parcel about 3 weeks ago to Sweden and it still hasn’t reached them! What is this?! I really do hate Royal Mail, and to be honest I love the idea the current government has to privatise it! It has been government owned for ever and look what they doen to it! All corrupion and bad service, they better sell it off and do something about it. It was the same thing with the national rail services a couple of years ago. It was government owned and no one did any repairs or anything. Now it has been sold off and it’s slightly coming back to normal. After I’ve been to the post office I need to go earlier into work and give them my official notice letter. Yes you’re right, I am quitting my job! If you haven’t noticed I got the job I really want as a teaching assistant for the Swedish girl. So I am super happy, now I just need to find a job for the remaining two days of the week, but if I was able to get this far I can do that too, right? I also need to speak to my manager about some of the things that happened during the Holland trip… Don’t want to go into it in too much detail here as long as I am still employed by them. But when I have done my last day I’ll tell you all about it. Now I need to get ready for the day, speak to you tomorrow again, as I’m doing a night shift and won’t have access to the internet during the day today

Autumn…

It’s starting to be really autumny now! Only 14 degrees outside and really cloudy. I better take my umbrella to work today..! I can’t say that autumn is my favourite time of the year, however I am starting to appreciate it fully now, the chilly winds, the clear blue skies, the rainy days when you can sit in and drink bucketloads of tea and watch a good movie without feeling guilty, light millions of candles which gives it that cosiness… Mmm, yeah I do like the autumn..!

(P.S. It is confimed now, I’ve got the job!)

28th September 2010

Good Morning!

I woke up today with a strange feeling, it’s about the job I was offered yesterday. Kept thinking that it only had been a dream, but when I realised it hadn’t I started being very nervous about it. Could I do this job? Can I really improve someone’s English and therefore study results? Me!? It’s been going through my mind most of the morning, and I have to say that this position (if I’ve really got it as I haven’t got the confirmation yet) is going to be challenge! A big, big challenge. Which I really do like, at the same time as it scares me! What if I fail? But then again I had almost the same feelings when I started my current job, and so far it’sbeen going fine (except that I don’t like it that’ll say). But the nervousness is still there and it is annoying not knowing exactly what to do…

Anyway, I need to go to work in a bit and really want some confirmation of the job so that I can give my notice in… I really want this!! Please e-mail or ring me NOW agency man!

I’ve made a decision.

I’m taking the job. As many said; the opportunity and experience is something that doesn’t come often and it’s invaluable. Inofficially I have a new job! Wohoo, lets see what this leads to!

I need a sign…

Still can’t make my mind up about that job I wrote about in my last entry… Keep thinking about… Have two friends who have explicitly told me to take it, and a boyfriend who has said it is a good opportunity and that it is up to me. But I can still not make my mind up! I need a sign of some sort. So, let’s say that if I have tidied up this flat and have dinner ready by the time my Robbo comes home, I’ll say yes to it. That can be my sign  

As I mentioned in the previous entry I did some supply work at the school a couple of days ago and wrote an entry on it. It can be found here (link), read it and you might be able to help me make my mind up?

Job offer

Got a phone call a minute ago with a job offer. Not too sure if I should take it or not though… The job is with Grey Coat Hospital Girls School, where I was the other week to do some supply work. The job is to work on the Swedish girl and to try and improve her English. However, the job will only be for 3 days a week, as the school will only get so much funding. The agency man said that he would prioritise me for supply work the other two days of the week and so would the school if they needed someone. So I would hopefully work 5 days a week and therefore earn more than I do now. But if I would be unlycky I might end up with only working 3 days a week and earn a little bit less than I do now… The great thing if I take the job though, no matter how much I get paid, is that it would give me valuable experience so that I could apply to the doctorate in Educational Psychology… Hmm, decision, decision… Have to bouncce of some ideas with Rob when he gets home. Anyway, I need to get out and get some things sorted now.

Pilates

Have done my 40min of pilates now and I can feel it in my abdominal muscles! Going to ache tomorrow but it will be worth it! Not only has it done wonders to my core muscles, but I have also burnt 306kcal today! Woho! Soon I’ll look just as lean and strong as the lady on the picture!
