I'm feeling very dissatisfied with myself over the last week.

I've stayed home at least three days when I feel I shouldn't, in order to wait for a package that Kevin was waiting for (he had to go out). I've made no progress on my uni application. Ever time there's been a thunderstorm (at least once a day almost) everything has stopped.

I got that ( Read more... )

Andrew finally phoned, to say that he couldn't talk today. However, he has someone in tomorrow that knows all about the position, so I now have an appointment at 1pm tomorrow. This'll be interesting - Kevin's out all day tomorrow, but I'm not staying home just because of that.

I wish I could get my shit together.

I'd made the decision to go back to uni and do my Masters in Fine Art. I haven't quite completed my application yet - it needs a decent proposal that I can send to my prospective supervisor for review. So there's work to be done.

There's a job of Technology Officer at Lake Macquarie Council. John ( Read more... )

Saw my new key worker today at the employment agency. After a bit of a discussion, I've decided to get some training as a cleaner. We'll see where that leads me.

The guy who runs the bookshop just phoned - said he might have some casual / cash-in-hand work for me! I thanked him, and said I'd phone him back when I'm a bit more compus mentas (sp?).

The irony of this is that I went to an interview today at the employment agency to see my key worker who's leaving the agency. Didn't get much done because I felt ( Read more... )

The job fell thru.

My potential; employer was saying things like "Well my wife and I think it'd be a great idea, but..." and the "BUT" was basically that he couldn't afford me. I phoned him yesterday and he said that he hadn't done anything to raise the money for it.

"Huh?"

I didn't say anything at the time, but it was pretty clear that I was ( Read more... )

Got a letter from TAFE today, re: the Library Tech job I applied for (2 months ago).

I didn't get it.

Grrr - what a day - something went wrong with my hard disk, and I lost my account details for Thunderbird! Still haven't got that fixed. Also, I tried to contact Amy (my key worker at the employment agency) and she's off for the day.

Both these together mean that I have no hope of getting that information to the owner of the bookshop. Bugger. At ( Read more... )

Went to Warner's bay earlier today to see about that job (an took Kevin with me).

Spoke to my potential employer at length. Looks like I might have employment - provided he can afford me. I need to get information about award rates to him, which I should be able to do by Monday. He has a lot to clean up and organise after the storm, so it might ( Read more... )

Took Pegasus for a walk this morning. He wanted to come home after only getting past the chip shop at the roundabout (so we did). Don't bloody well blame him. There was a heavy mist and it's F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G here!

I was going to go down to Warner's Bay today to see if anything  had happened about that job cataloguing books. I could phone, but after ( Read more... )
