I'm not entirely sure I like my new look journal, despite my best attempts to look all adult and sophisticated, it kinda just looks a bit, well...crap!
A couple of weeks ago I turned the big 26. That magical age between being a young twenty something and nearing the scary mature looking 30. My day exceeded all birthday expectations by actually being kinda cool. I got cards, presents, cake, lots of well wishers and generally people cared. Except the people I work with. No, they managed to forget entirely which makes me wonder at what level I rank in the 'important staff member' table. I'm certainly below the groundsman and canteen lady.
There's rather a long paragraph I'd like to write but for fear the person in question may stumble across this small, ignored internet blog I shall refrain. Other than when the school year wraps up in a couple of weeks and I'm forced back onto the job search bangwagon...I'm gonna miss him like hell!
Speaking of job searching I've been given a new case manager. My old one left for a better life in Queensland and I've been given the enthusiastic, but forgetful Dennis. He's kinda like a villan from "The Bill" and you sort of wait for him to start saying, "I run the Jasmin Allen and you better watch your back alright". In reality its more, "I love what you're doing but get a full time job!" Don't get me wrong, he's very nice but I still want to strike him with his stupid notepad and list of labour hire companies.
And it wouldn't be a festive season entry if I didn't mention how much I loathe the festive season. Shopping has become a a body contact sport with middle ages harpies shoving me out of the way to get to get to registers and swarms of people cluttering up what were once empty aisles. If I had a credit card I'd get everything off ebay and not venture back to the shops until early June.
