That's amazing, Siobhan. You're obviously impressing your bosses!
Well done Siobhan, what a great experience!! Hope it works out for you :D
Excellent news Shiv. Hope it works out. Big culture shockQuote:

What a fantastic opportunity Shiv, hope you get to go!
Well done Shiv, it all sounds very exciting :)
Not been about for a while, so I won't go into every detail like I usually bore you all with haha.
I feel so emotionally, mentally and physically drained lately, don't know whether I;'m coming or going if I'm honest, I feel like everythings at a stand still, and if it's not at a stand still it's just crumbling in my hands, and I just keep making it all so much more worse.
Have you gone back to college Kirsty? What did you do about the full time job?
I'm back in College, might aswell get this year over and done with, and I'm going back again in September, but this time I'm going to go with teaching like I've always wanted to do, but I'd love to teach children that need a bit more help, rather than mainstream because I just thin there's so much potential that isn't seen. I'm still doing about 20-25 hours a week at work too though, so it's not so bad, the hours are quite hard though, i worked a 6-2 last night (we didn't get home until half 3 as we stay and have a drink) and I was then back in work at 9 this morning for a 9-6. It really is draining, but I need the money.
sounds like your working really hard Kirsty, hope that it all pays off for you in the end. My mums a teaacher and she works with the special needs kids and loves it.
My course has a mad workload! its driving me mental. It also doesnt help that i feel so thick in comparasion to everyone else! hopefully things will start to click into place soon.
Hi Katy, I bet, like you, everyone else feels thick too. Don't stress about everyone else, I am sure you will do great.
I have freshers' flu for the first time in my life. Sore throat, fever, chest pain, blocked nose, earache, lethargy. I've had a busy few days which doesn't help. Yesterday I went over to a friend's house, cooked tea, had some alcoholic beverages, watched a film then her boyfriend came over about 11pm. Cue more alcohol and smoking (which hasn't helped my chest) and four hours sleep. We drove back to mine this morning, I went to a lecture then we went shopping afterwards.
I had my tragus pierced today. Given my future career will involve appearing in court in some form or another, I'm not sure if it was a good idea but I can always take it out when its healed up. Surprisingly my mother didn't even raise a Facebook eyebrow when she found out, she just said its my decision and I'm old enough to decide what I want. I would love to get more piercings and tattoos but in my projected line of work its not a good look. My job and reputation are more important than what I stick in my body.
I had a brilliant lecture this morning. I didn't think it would be that good because she told us it would last the full two hours and I've never had a lecture last the duration before. I really got into it; the British legal and justice system really interests me and its re-ignited my desire to become a lawyer. I briefly considered it a few months ago but I'm not sure what route I'd have to take. I'd need to do a conversion course but with a background in forensics, criminal law could be a really good career.
I'm thinking about changing my dissertation from dismemberment to drugs. Reading case studies and talking about dismemberment all the time is really depressing me. I'm not sure if I can stand another six months and 8000 words, and I have other modules to consider as well. Doing something that doesn't directly impact upon people's lives in the way murder does is perhaps for the best. I didn't consider it until last night when I talked to my friend about feeling down. I just don't know how to explain this to my supervisor who I've had no prior contact with and works in the biology department instead of forensics. I know all the teaching staff in forensics, I get on well with them and they know my situation. I feel comfortable approaching them if I'm struggling but my supervisor is unapproachable.
Yeah, that's me for the past few weeks. Hope everyone else is well.
Work is sh*t at the moment. Everyone is fretting about their jobs. Last week we had a meeting with the Principal as there is talk about moving into Mirco newables but it could mean that some other courses are axed to facilitate this. So everyone is just niggiling at each other.
thats whats happening at my dads place at the minute. They need to lose 50% of the staff.
I have a job interview for Asda tomorrow. Scary stuff!!
Good luck, Crazylea :)
Thank you Dazzle. I am going to need it :|
Got fingers and toes crossed for you, Lea, good luck xxx :DQuote:

So much work, so little time.
Good luck with that, sounds really interesting, would love to do things like that :)
You can do it Abigail :)
Wellll work was eventful, stupid druken idiots.
I swear people have no manners... or maybe its just that they're drunk. I got started on by some young guy who thought he was hard man, people were just plain rude tonight. Stupid people. :(
Don't think I got the job :( They said they would let us know either Friday or Saturday whether we had it or not.. and they never rang me lol.
My mate who works where I work now was also there having an interview, and he got phoned Friday and has the job haha. So no new job for Lea!
Awww, sorry Crazy :(
Sorry to hear that, Lea :(Quote:

Their loss Lea :) x
Well I got my rejection letter today :rotfl:. So now I know for sure.
Thanks for the sorrys guys :p
Now to search for something else. It is soooo bad around here at the moment for jobs. Barely anything going!
I hate it when there is something but it says "experience essential".. how can I get the experience if you don't let me work there :).
Grrr. I hate job hunting!!
Been locked out of my room for SIX hours! Don't do it people, no one actually gives a toss about letting you back in. It's en suite as well so that was NOT fun. Couldn't go anywhere as I had no shoes on.
That's a bummer Kim. We had a power cut on Tuesday night for an hour and a half. Right in the middle of Holby city. The whole neighbour hood was in darkness street lights eveything.
i hate power cuts! we had on the other week! at first we thought it was just us bit it wasnt.
Their loss lea, bad luck on the job. I hope you find one soon.
Ive got a ton of work to do today, but my brotheres and sisters dvd came and im a little distracted!
The mighty Nomads Leopards, currently in 10th place in the Clacton and District Table Tennis League Third Division won 8-2 last night. Our first win of the season! Yours truly won all three of his singles matches and the doubles. That feels better!!!
Well done you.. didn't know you like Table tennis.. my partner used to play in a German team.. and I am trying to get my kids interested in it but very few table tennis clubs in IrelandQuote:
