Hello to all my beautiful family and friends, welcome to the world of the 8.30 to 5.30pm worker! Yes, I am now employed for the next six month's!! It is such a good feeling to know that I can actually put away my CV and not have to brush up on my interview skills for at least another five months, oh what a relief! If you haven't heard the news via the F/book, I now am Business Support Co-ordinator for a company who look after youth from the ages of 13 a 19 who are unemployed or in transition, looking to begin courses in colleges or disadvantaged groups (disability etc) there is much more to what they do, but that gives you the gist of what they do. My job is one of the main administrator basically, all the office admin, organising meeting rooms for youth and youth workers and monitoring and maintaining databases, mixture of HR tasks, monitoring staff records - sickness and holidays and also organising expenses and forwarding to head office. It's a varied role and I think I am going to find it quite rewarding. I might say something different in two weeks time, when my mentor has left on maternity leave and I'm left there on my own lol. The work that I have to do is fine, I will have the next couple of weeks getting use to all the Bespoke Programmes they have, just trying to remember how to get into them all!
The other great thing about my job is, that I don't have to bore you week after week with me still looking for work!
I know it's a bit too soon to celebrate with rewards to myself, but I think I went a bit overboard this week :( I think after the realisation that I was actually going to have a regular wage, I splurged a little and of course now at the end of the weekend, paying for that breakout, (note to self, Alana, you haven't got that wage yet!) but in saying that, I do think I derserve to have a reward after all the hard work over the past 4 months of looking for work etc. Another fantastic reason to having my hair done it's given me the confidence that I need to overcome anything this week. I will feel fantastic when I go to meet the head office colleagues this week, so for that alone it will have been worth it!
I have a bucket list if you like now :) for not only things I want to see and places I want to go, but also just a few more things to make my unit a little more cosy for winter, without going overboard. I have felt like a million dollars this week having my microwave lol it's the little things that count now most of all!
I am being shown signs and messages all around me now that I AM on my right path, and I do believe that you can go and do anything that you set your mind to do, you need to follow your dreams, we all have a few hiccups along the way, but they are there to make us stronger and to keep our motivation to keep on striving for what we want in life. A lot of you know me very well now, the long journey it has been for me. I no longer have to think about the negative aspects of what was in my life, what didn't work? I know that there is always tomorrow, I know that all there is is love! what I may have yearned for for so many years, I was looking at things from the wrong angle. I believe every being deserves joy, happiness and love and I actually for the first time in my life, have realised that I am love, I need not look for it, for wherever I go, it is around me, like minded loving people draw near, it doesn't matter where I am , around the world. It has made me love and appreciate my family and friends even more. I love you all very much xxxx
While I'm on the subject of love, something else that I have grown a great appreciation for is, the countryside, wind in my hair, something I never did in Aus, it was too bloody hot, even with the window down! The only thing that stops me from having the window down is the poo aroma, (well yes, I do smell it a bit around her, and it's not because people are full of shit! Lol more that I do actually live in a rural area, so you get use to pulling in behind a tractor, that has dredged through something foul, you have never seen me put that window and put the internal air on so quickly! But apart from all that, I just loveeeee the countryside and not actually living in suburbia. The fact that I'm only 15 minutes or 30 minutes away from two cities, makes it even more appealing. Where else would you have the experience I had during the week, coming home from work, getting out of the car, putting on my coat, getting my bag and Brolley from the back and I turned around and there standing on the grass, was our resident deer, that usually is much further away behind the estate, in the open fields, not up near the storehouse near the car park. Talk about a Mexican stand off, I completely froze, I was so amazed, but a little petrified as I had never been this close to a deer in the wild before. We both just stood there looking at each other, I don't think I even breathed for the entire time lol then suddenly the deer thought, if your not moving woman, I'm off! so then he turns and starts running down towards the woods right next to my flat.

The first signs of Autumn :)
Another little pleasure I had this week after work, I was in the car park and noticed some ripe berries, woohoo nice stash of blackberries, I picked a couple, being very careful not to be attacked by the nettles lol hmmm wonder if I can bring a container down here and pick some more. I adore all the fresh raspberries and blueberries and raspberries here :) omg it's fruit heaven!
Well people it's almost time for Downtown Abbey, so I'm sorry, I will have to finish up lol but before I go, those that didn't see it, the new haircut this week :)
I look forward to possibly going away again soon before the end of Oct, so I will keep you all posted, so until next post. love to you all xxxxx
