ten things...
1. i passed stats and did heaps well in epidemiology, this semester ive just got one subject and its project management and evaluation so im heaps excited about that. i finally feel like i am getting through my masters!
2. that surgeon i was excited about didnt come through, i recieved a call the day before the appointment from the office saying that he was unable to see me and that i had to go to monash instead. i said that i didnt think that was correct, that i had a referral from a gp and that id be really keen to come in and have an appointment to discuss things further. i was told the surgeon wouldnt see me. it was all pretty fucked. im sitting on it for now but will follow it up later and fight for informed consent.
3. i had jaw surgery at the end of june, its getting heaps better but apparently it will take up to 9 months to know how well it has worked but its feeling ok, not 100% but definitely better than it was. its nice to not have to take half a pack of pain killers a day to subdue the headaches!
4. im looking for a new job... have applied for 4 jobs all kinda diversity/social inclusion stuff some training and program based and others policy based. things have gone insane with our committee, all centreing upon them refusing to come to the table and discuss an EBA, the final straw being threats of amalgamation (again, this happened 2 years ago as well) so instead of waiting around to see what happens im excited about the next chapter. stay tuned...
5. ZBGC stuff is coming along and it feels like things are heading in a good direction.
6. i feel simultaneously amazing and good about gender stuff and also overwhelmingly isolated at the same time. the ongoing battle of feeling like a lone ranger here sometimes re not being on t.
7. we are finally working on the garden and the house is looking good. just waiting for my tax return so i can buy new couches and get rid of these horrible things so this is good news for those of you who sit in our lounge room.. the end is near.
8. all i want to do is go camping, im so excited about winter leaving us and getting out into the open air again. am excited about crazy weekends away with a bunch of people melb cup weekend too.
9. i need to get my bike fixed, just before my jaw really got fucked i snapped the brakes somehow, but now that im not dizzy and blurry eyed im excited about getting back on my bike again. yay. let me know if you are up for bike rides and picnics and shit.
10. typecasting is amazing. jack shepherd's dr dad is currently confusing the shit out of and im not sure if he is a ghost or not. we are half way through the last season of lost.
