Ok so from Wednesday until today I have been flat out trying to find somewhere to live and to find a job. There arent too many planning jobs over here at the moment because its summer school holidays. All of the big directors and managers have taken their kids away on big holidays and are therefore not around to make the important recruitment decisions. And all the planning jobs going you need to have UK experience for which is obviously something i dont have so im really just waiting for someone to give me a chance. Very frustrating. I am registered with 4 planning recruitment agencies so hopefully one of them can deliver the goods for me!
As for the house hunting, I am sooooo over it! I have looked at at least a dozen places all of which have had something wrong with them. One of the bad ones had graffiti on the walls and smelt like wee and another one the lady had an ugly cat and smoked inside her extremely untidy place which had no shower, gee isnt that handy?! Most of them have been like this and it just makes me so angry that people waste our time. I suppose we just have to be positive though and something will eventually come along that is decent.
I now know i have taken my Adelaide lifestyle for granted- living in such a nice house, being surrounded by all my great things, being able to sleep in my own bed, aghhhh i miss it so much right now!
Today i have been a bit of an emo for a couple of reasons. The first one that got me was that the girls were all having an afternoon sesh at the Alma for Cockie, Riss and Tanya's birthdays which are all within 5 days of each other in the last week and they called me!! All pretty tipsy and telling me funny stories, made me sad they were all together and i miss just hanging out with them whenever i wanted when i was home. Another thing i have taken for granted! I miss being able to get into my car and just drive to their houses to visit them.
And then secondly, i called home cause all the family were around mum and dad's for dinner for brad's birthday, the phone was passed around and i talked to everyone which was really nice but made me sad too. And you know when someone asks you if you're ok, and you really aren't ok but you dont lose it until someone asks you if you're ok? Yep well thats all it took for me!
So I had a bit of an emo day, i think the stress and worry of finding somewhere to live and also in finding a job put together with the fun things happening at home got to me.
Courts and i were over looking for jobs, over looking for places to live so we put all of that away, put our PJ's on, put a dvd on and ordered Chinese for dinner and boy did that make things a whole lot better!
I have no doubt that things will all work out in our favour but its just gonna take some time, i guess its all apart of the experience and i just have to suck it up!
Anyways enough of the emo-ness, tomorrow is another day and we're positive it will bring bigger and better things for us! And im excited cause the fam is putting together a package for me! Woohoooooooooooooooooo!!!!! (Allens lollies pleeeeeeeeeease!! And a milky way!! The lollies and chocolate here are soooo crappy!!)
P.S. Mumsy you better not cry when you read this one!
