I went to a roller derby bout this afternoon. That now makes it three states I have seen bouts in! (And four states' teams I've seen compete!) I kind of feel like I should get a badge if I get to see a bout in every state.

So I am back in Melbourne. I don't really feel like updating, though I went to the effort of editing and uploading photos in the hopes of kickstarting an entry.

Anyway. Didn't end up taking that many photos, apart from the one weekend I was in Sydney. It was mostly photos of the Botannical Gardens, or the roller derby bouts.

Yes, I saw not one, but ( Read more... )

Been wanting to post about a lot of different things. On the one hand, aren't I meant to be all heart-broken and mopey and obsessed right now? Isn't this a chance to let the race issues sit on the back-burner for a while and just indulge in some self-pity? Should I be talking about work and its associated learning-curve? Am I being irreverent by ( Read more... )

Today has been a fairly nothingy day - I had planned to go out and do some shopping for a decent work wardrobe, but when I arrived at the empty train station I found that only buses were running due to track work this weekend.

Since it was kind of hot and I didn't really want to do a shopping expedition, I went home again.

Instead I researched some ( Read more... )

Assessment day tomorrow. I have only just now finished writing the main stuff for an exercise we present - and I still need to tidy it up and make sure I can present it in a logical manner. I guess I'll do that when I inevitably discover I cannot fall asleep tonight ( Read more... )

Guess who was too chicken to ask about disappearing from work?

Go on! Guess!

But I did it. I got through it. And naturally, my manager made me feel bad by giving me useful feedback and asking if I was interested in staying another week (I said no - hopefully I was appreciative and regretful, rather than clinging desperately to my shiny talisman of ( Read more... )

I am very much not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Tempted to just say I have an interview to prepare for and I'd like to concentrate on that - it's true, and the thought of spending three extra days in that environment is not helping my current anxieties and mood ( Read more... )

Guess whose ankle has re-swollen ( Read more... )

I haven't felt like posting recently - I still don't really feel that verbose but I'd like to have some sort of record to look back on, so I know why there's a gap of a week or two at that point in time.

In a completely unexpected turn of events, today my manager actually offered to extend my work experience till the end of next week. I said yes ( Read more... )

Last night before I have to return to work. I am looking on the return as something to endure rather than something to enjoy, which I know is the wrong way to go about it. It is two weeks, though, so it's not too long to bear ( Read more... )
