Gosh we're tearing through the weeks, aren't we? Scary!
Cold start to the day today - -3 Celsius. Because I was out early, I beat the frost on the way to the gym, but on the way to work I wasn't so lucky. It was quite bizarre seeing frozen cars all the way to work. And they're picking another cold one tonight, but at least we get a nice day if we have a cold night.
Anyway, the gym workout was OK. Weights today and I inadvertantly picked up the wrong weight for one exercise and naturally it was the one that was heavier. I was wondering why it was so much harder! Still I got through the sets without a problem, so maybe it's time to increase the weights a bit.
Work was work. Nothing spectacular happened. I'm playing a bit of a waiting game, waiting to hear about the police job and since I've never been particularly patient... In the email I got they said they'd get in touch by the 8th, which is Friday. I've decided that I'll call them if I haven't heard from them by Wednesday of next week - does that sound OK?
I've been thinking about things, and I'm ready for a change. I really am. There's nobody to blame but myself for not getting the job last time - I basically let myself get intimidated by the other people at the group interview. They all did things like volunteer ambulance officer and volunteer fire fighter and here I am thinking that I just work in a call centre! So I kept very quiet during the group exercise we did and that's what counted against me - I nailed everything else. That's not going to happen this time.
MJ, go you with getting back on track!
Diane, I don't envy you dealing with a teenage girl, given all the neuroses and hang ups... Is it worth suggesting subtly that she come with the gym with you occasionally for some girly time? Perhaps not every time you go, but once a week or something...
Everyone else, hi! Hope everything's going well!
Have fun!
