Phew, what a week of job hunting, I’m wiped out, but at last, long last an interview for a fab job has landed! It’s a theatre job (winning the race at the mo), based in Dundee at a great theatre and I’m so excited I’ve just jumped about squealing for 5 mins

I was beginning to wonder if anything would come of the effort put in, but here it is, worth the wait! So wish me luck next Friday @ 11am

What a way to start the weekend!

I feel like I’m losing it. I feel I’m always waiting for people to get back to me with information at the moment, info on on work opportunities, where a large missing cheque has gone to, trying to set meetings up with people.. It just seems to be happening so slow and I must be losing it (patience that is):o

I was on the verge of having a rant at someone this morning for being inefficient. When I say rant I probably mean more of a poke with a big stick to gee them on a bit, than a full on rant.

I’m off to have a cuppa, learn my new mantra and try not to be so much a control freak

*Rome was not built in a day*

(maybe I should learn lines in the style of Bart Simpson?)

Edit: I think I’m just having one of those days…..

It’s not me going yet! We (Mr F & I) went to a property auction tonight, mostly out of sheer curiosity, plus we’d seen a cute little cottage in a wee village we both quite fancied the look off, (this one - http://www.pattinson.co.uk/Public/content/Buy/Estate-Agents/Property-For-Sale/47816.htm)

It made the dream of living in village with a pub, kids, a couple of dogs, long walks in the beautiful countryside a very affordable reality There were a few others, but not auction properties.

So we went…. The temptation to register to bid was there, although I’m glad we didn’t as it would have meant waiting ages, it took an hour to get through 19 properties never mind get to 119 Instead I agreed a to get a valuation on our property and results of the auction under the guise of “it can’t hurt to find out, right”? Last time we looked at selling we sold our unfinished flat on day 1 of selling, hmmm….

As MrF reckons it would mean cutting loose and upping sticks would be easier, all the DIY jobs could be put on hold we could rent somewhere less urban etc.

I’m not sure, maybe I’d like to change one one bit of life at a time, and after a day of 2 interviews and several phonecalls for new careers/work opportunities, it’s all seeming like a lot in one go? Maybe I need to get my new found bravery back? (See holes entry.) Maybe I’m feeling like a bit of a lost sheep at the moment, I’m not sure…. Maybe I need to take the place and stop wondering and worrying?

(ps. I have managed to swop earrings, although I reccomend not trying to toast crumpets at the same time - poked myself in the ear and burnt my crumpets!)

Woohoo, I’ve got my Flickr widget working After a cuppa and a bit of head scratching I’m into widgets at last. I guess it makes up for feeling like I’ve been banging my head against a brick wall all day…

It might spur me onto getting some piccies organised and moved onto my hard drive so my poor mac runs a tiny bit quicker!

Pics updated on the site at the moment are taken off tour, I was going through reports yesterday and this led me to the pictures I’d taken over the last couple of years of tour. It made me remember that touring isn’t so bad, at least you get to see some nice (and bad) bits of the UK, even if it means you can’t be at home all the time.

We’ve found some pretty good ways of making use of evenings off too The smashing pub in Salisbury with amazing food and the brilliant off license selling cider by the 4 pint carton. The Highlands recently took us to Strathpeffer with the worlds best belgian chocolate shop/cafe/makers (mmmmmmmmmm) and an ace brewery (www.blackislebrewery.co.uk I think?)

Still, must get back to the job hunt, then I can give it up for a couple of days with a bit of luck! It’s still a toss-up between sensible job here or theatre job elsewhere, we’ll see what wins the race I guess….

Finally a day off is here, I have a moment to breathe and write lists of normal people things to do like pay cheques in, pick up post from the post office, go shopping, catch up on writing some reports…. *ahhhhhh* thats better.

I’m starting to feel like a human again, with a life outside of work. I’m ready for the next batch of business, fingers crossed. Ready to start looking and chasing for work or a change maybe?

Roll on day off no 2 tomorrow, I’m looking forward to a few more of these, the bonus is some company in the form of Mr F too

I had to add it to the blogroll (after i worked out I could, I’m enjoying being a newb again :p) I love the doodles, I love the comments, I had some business cards made up with them too

Anyway there are a few on there about blogs such as :

Get reading, I lose hours in there!

Recently I got my ears pierced, it was a big deal for a wimp like me, who’d waited 15 years to get it done Anyway I’m almost 5 weeks down and 2 to go till I get to take my sleepers out and I can’t wait

I’m like a kid in a sweetie shop whenever I see a jewellry shop and I have so far bought a total of 7 pairs, and that was me being good or so I thought! Anyway I must resist buying more till I can try them out and see what I like if I keep saying it that’ll help, honest).

I’m beginning to think it’s a new obsession, at least it’s less storage than shoes or bags

It does still freak me out if I think about it for too long, the whole “having holes in my ears” thing

Of many or few, who knows how much I’ll use this, but it does seem like a good idea right now….

I’m new to all this blogging stuff, so it might look weird for a bit but we’ll see!
