Friday 16th February 2007. Fridays are my lonely days which is pretty sad because they are generally the best day of the week. I work alone on Fridays, all by myself 8:45am – 5pm in the dentist. The Dentist has told me to bring my own lunch so I won’t leave but I honestly can’t do it. Even if I get out of the practice for 10 minutes it makes me feel better. All I can say is thank god I found the internet at work, THANK GOD. Although it runs awfully slowly (we are talking easy 10 minutes just to load ¼ of the myspace website) it seems to load up gmail easily. Fridays is meant to be my accounting day, and yes, I do get it done, NOT to my full potential, not as quickly as I could, but how do you get the motivation to fix a 3 year old accounting problem when you are all by yourself all day long buzz buzz? Sorry it doesn’t work for me. So anyway, I rang Leanne, whom I use to work with at GR on Friday arvo to see what she was doing that night. She was going to Chadstone with Isabelle and said she’d love to meet up afterwards. I thought that was fine because Chadstone does close at 9pm so we should meet up at say 9:30? Went home after work and was greeted by Romy and Hercules. Gosh it was hot, so so hot, and our house doesnt have airconditioning so its like a sauna in there! Romy made me go past the bottle-o on my way home from work and get him some Long Necks (Our cool thing at the moment – Giant beer, $4.50, WOW!). I had a frozen meal for dinner I think I only cooked once last week, to turn the stove on or the oven on would have been pure torture, not in a lazy way, in a heat way. Romy rang Jay (Another person I use to work with) and he said he’d meet up with us as well. We decided to go to The Village Green, the "other local" pub near my parents house. This one use to be very popular when I was 17 with fake i.d. You would have to line up for 1hr to get in, but nowadays they practically beg you to go. A lot of the smaller crowd problems has to do with the Security Guards, and how they wouldn’t call an ambulance when a kid got hit by someone a few years ago…. Poor kid, 18 years old, went into a coma when he was being raced to the hospital by his friend, they turned the life support off 3 days later. So we knew no one there, that basically proves how different it is now. Before "everyone" from my year level was there, maybe people have just grown up! We decided to play pool and Romy soon made a mate, not hard for Romy because he is such a talkative person. He said some blonde chick was hot, typical that he picked her out, she’s a skank (no I’m serious) that I use to go to Primary school with. (FYI – Romy and I have that sort of relationship where we can say "oooh she’s hot" or "oooh he’s yum" etc). We played about 10 games of pool when the 18 year olds that were with the pool guy suggested shotties to Romy, NOT a good idea. A few days before hand Romy and I had decided that we are going to start saving hardcore to buy a house… As soon as the word "shotties" is mentioned I knew it was bye bye money. Half an hour and $50 later Romy comes back laughing about how the 18y-o was going to put his C-S-C into his Red Bull from his Jeger Bomb, yeah funny, get over it now LOL! Then the other 18y-o got jealous and took Romy back to the bar, his shout. 30 minutes later and another 5 shots they come back and then the "hot girl" is hanging around our area, so annoying. For some reason it sort of clicked in my head that in that 30 minutes their paths must have met and something happened…. Romy isnt like that, but this skank certainly is… (FYI once again I asked Romy and he said "Yeah she was hot huh, but no way I know what I’ve got" – Good answer….). 11 o’clock comes and the girls STILL aren’t there. 12-midnight comes, FINALLY they arrive! Isabelle looked so hot (Isabelle is only 16…) she had dyed her hair mousey brown and gotten extensions, her hair is now ¾ down her back! She looks at last 20 now lol! $800 well spent! Leanne looked fashionable like always, but I warned her it was a tracky pants pub LOL! We sat down and Romy forced 2 wines down our throats. While talking to the girls I suddenly said "Oh god, perfect timing" as my ex walked into the room, Ange, the one that use to steal from me to support his cocaine habbit. The last time I saw him was just after Shannon and I had broken up, "Give me another chance, I’ve changed, I’m a good person, let me take you out for dinner, if you want me to go away, just tell me to fuck off" he said that night, "Fuck off" I said to him. Blunt, I know, but I didn’t want to speak to him…. Me Single + Alcohol + Him = Me sleeping with him, a bad bad combination! Romy was off his tits by now. So was Isabelle. The 18 y-os went home after one tried to pick up Isabelle with her saying no thanks! Good girl! He had a gf also!!!! Rotten scoundrel! Cat turned up and it was very exciting! I also worked with Cat at GR. Gosh I met some great people there! They are all so close to my heart now! Cat announced that Jay wasn’t coming which Romy was upset about. Cat lives life to the fullest and I love that. Not in a stupid crazy drugs all night way! She had cancer when she was 16, so now she doesn’t take life for granted, and good on her! She’s dealt with something I could never deal with! Some Mario hero guys came up and started talking to us, and it annoyed me, the started pinching the cigarettes and literally just butted in on the conversation, so I got up and sat behind everyone with Isy. Romy came up and started sussing out these guys. One of them said his name was Damien. He had some up to my 4hrs early saying "Do I know you, you look familiar" and I thought it was just some stupid line and ignored him, but then as he said his name, it clicked, I went to school with this kids sister! Ive known him since he was in nappies! He’s a strange one though, he’s got a few problems mentally, so I got pretty scared when Romy and his cousin started having "words". His cousin kept annoying the girls and Romy told him that if they didn’t want to talk to him, you cant make them, just go away and leave them alone! Fair enough of Romy, but when it got really heated of course I had to jump in screaming for them to talk nicely or not talk at all, which made Romy angry thinking I wasn’t "backing him up". He gets like this when he is drinking. I went to the bathroom and felt someone grab my arm on the way. "Hey how are you" said Ange. "Good", "You look well", "Thanks" "Who are you here with", "My fiancée and some friends", "You got engaged" (This voice was ½ shock, ½ I am going to cry) "yeah I did – I need to go to the toilet" "Make sure you come back and talk to me". As much as I love to say I don’t like seeing, I like seeing him, because I love being this great big bitch to him, a bitch that won’t put up with his bullshit and isn’t afraid to tell him he is a low life loser who uses people, and I love being so blunt! I tried to get back to the table without him seeing me but good luck. "Hey, where are you going", bugger!!! "Are you working?" "Yeah", "Where", "As a Chef still, in Forrest Hill". "You are too skinny, your face is all gaunt", (he’s lost probably 30kg since being on coke). "What me!! Look at you, you are too skinny too" "well I’ve got to go back, come over and meet everyone if you want later". I didn’t actually expect him to do it, I saw him walk towards our table, see everyone, and then turn around and walk back to his mates, THANK GOD because Romy wasn’t in the state to meet an ex boyfriend LOL! Isy was off her guts completely, so we had to go home, after she kissed some guy who was like 30 LOL! Naughty Isy! Romy proceeded to try and argue with me all the way home but I just ignored him, which I am proud of doing, I can’t help but argue back, but whats the point when someone is drunk and cant control what they are saying. He was so drunk he couldn’t get in the car so he slept there. SUFFER. 3:30am – Bed with Herc, Saturday 17th February 2007. 8am – Alarm goes off. Back to Weight Watchers. Snooze. Snooze. 8:20, better get up. Romy had dragged himself out of the car and into the bed about an hour earlier. "No don’t go" he says, "No, I’ve got to do this". I get dressed and head off. It was warm already, I think the temperature was said to hit the high 30’s later in the day and I certainly believed it. I had $10 cash on me and a "Free meeting and cookbook when you sign up" coupon. As it was already "Free Membership" until the end of that day, I thought I MAY be able to get away with it but unfortunately not. The leader was nice and I sat down with another 6 people and filled out my form. "Have you been a member before" she said "yes, at home" I replied, "how did you go", "good, but I’ve put back on some weight so that’s what I want to get rid of!", "Great, well done for coming to a meeting, people don’t realise how had it can be maintaining" – AMEN! I hear you sister, praise the lord! She asked me if I had a personal goal, I said 64kg. 64kg! When I first joined WW @ Home my goal was to fit into size 16s. "I’ll be happy when I get back down to a size 16". I got there and wasn’t happy. "Size 14" was when I said I’d be happy, I got there, nope, not happy. "Size 12", when I got there my parents started telling me to stop, "size 10", got there Christmas last year, around 70ish-kg, wasn’t unhappy but wasn’t feeling fulfilled. I remember going into a shop with Mum and seeing a size 9 pair of jeans "I want to fit into them" – She said I was being silly and that it was too skinny. When I met Romy I was 68kg on the dot, I remember because I had just gotten my LTM. 2 weeks after meeting Romy, and with the stress of the Shannon break up, I lost 4kg in 2 weeks, 64kg, my ultimate weight. My size 11 jeans were falling off me, my size 10s had become loose. I would have been a size 9. "Do you know how tall you are?" she asked me. A funny question…. When I was in high school I hit 175cm (5"9). Somewhere along the way I put on weight (Being 20kg overweight already in highschool wasn’t a thrill but then I managed to put on another 20kg during year 12 and within the first year of leaving highschool.) and shrunk 3cm….. I asked if she could measure me again, as I thought I may have grown a little bit and I was right! Back to 175cm! This made my healthy weight range 61kg – 74kg. I went and got weighed and I am 72kg on the dot, what I thought I would be. So I am within the healthy weight range, but not happy with myself…. I have 8kg to lose. Gosh imagine it, if I lost 4kg on top of that I would be considered unhealthy, underweight, that is extreme! I had to run across the road to get cash out as they wouldn’t accept my free meeting pass, bugger, can’t blame me for trying. I was going to buy the points book, eating out guide, and the tracker, but as Romy had spent $220 last night I didn’t want to break the bank! I stayed for most of the meeting (lining up) but wasn’t that into it as it was about BBQ’s and how to survive them – My answer, cook a RANGE of things for both yourself and everyone else! A lot of people will eat the WW stuff and love it without realising its good for them LOL! I brought myself some scones on the way home (mmmm a WW tradition from the past which I think will be reinstated!) and Romy a hotdog from the Servo. I was so angry at Romy for getting so drunk the night before, so angry was totally hormonal though! Lol He sat on the couch feeling sorry for himself. He didn’t eat his hotdog because it was from the servo. At least I tried. We went to the butchershop and he fixed the fridge for dad. I wondered down to Harvey World Travel and got some brochures on Bali (Where I want to go for our honeymoon) and info about Bridal Registries there, where instead of getting another toaster, people help pay for your honeymoon. We wondered down to the jewellers where my ring is getting resized. 5.5 sizes I needed it downsized, which put a lot of pressure on the ring when it was getting moulded, so the diamonds popped out, and then they discovered a "rod" missing, so now it has to go to a place in the city to get fixed. He isnt charging us for it but I JUST WANT MY RING AHHHH! We had a look in the petshop and Romy tried to talk the lady into selling us one of her Maltese Shitzus for $300. The lowest she would go was $400 and we had to tell her by Monday. We fell in love with the Pugaliers cross Pomeranians, but we cant afford $595!!! We ended up going to my Mums and Romy sat on the couch watching TV feeling sorry for himself with his hangover. WOW I was SOOOO Hormonal! Mum and I went grocery shopping and she brought me a top from Sussan, well she brought it for Jacqui but I ran back, changed the size, and kept it for myself LOL! Hey it was $6 get over it Mum!!! Romy and Jacqui rang while we were in the checkouts asking for us to get McDonalds and I cracked a wobbly – "Do you think we are your slaves". We ended up buying it anyway. When we got back to Mums I played with the kittens a bit (Heidi had 7 kittens 5 or 6 weeks ago). Gosh they are so cute, I could sit in there for hours with them, just watching them! Jacqui asked if I brought her camera, I said No because I didn’t know we were going there, it was unexpected. She rolled her eyes and I cracked a wobbly again! How dare she be so rude! The way she rolled those eyes was like I had ruined her life! Like I was some pathetic creature interrupting her oh so important life! We went home and I made a homemade pita pizza for myself and got Romy a "normal" pizza. We signed up for the CI channel on Foxtel and watched it the rest of the night, it’s a fantastic channel! So interesting. I watched a show called "She stole my Foetus", about ladies who kill other ladies and give them C sections, stealing their babies! Made me scared to go by myself anywhere if I was ever pregnant! 11pm bed. Sunday 18th February 2007 10am – Wake up and start cleaning the house. Did all of the kitchen/lounge area when Romy wakes up. I asked him if he could please help me clean a little bit and he tried to bargain with me. "You do the bedroom and spare room and I’ll do the rest of the house". I sooked it because I had just done "the rest of the house" and it was his way of getting out of it easy! He said he would mop and vacuum but I was still sooking. Hormonal as much as the day before. We went to my parents house for a swim. Mum and I had to pick Jacqui up and I think I told her she was a horribly negative person, nothing nice comes out of her mouth. Anyone who knows her would agree. We got skinless hotdogs for lunch, they were yum but I didn’t need 2 LOL! Romy and I swam for about 1hr just mucking around and racing. I wish I never started smoking, I use to be such a good swimmer, easily doing 2 laps underwater without needing to come up for air. Now I’m pushing to do one. Might have something to do with my fitness levels dropping also. Hercules was having heaps of fun with his cousin Stewie. My family seems to think the sun shines out of Stewies ass just because he can do high fives and that Herc is naughty. Tisk tisk, if only they knew LOL! I made "sam" (the kitten I wanted from Heidi’s litter) sit on Romys lap for a while so he could fall in love with her and let me keep her. Before I know it we are going home with Sam YAY! I ran down to Knox to get Sams gear, a kitty litter tray, kitty litter, dry food, wet food, toys etc. $20 later and she’s set. I noticed everyone walking around with Temt bags full of stuff and I was like "WOW are they having a sale" – I love the shop Temt, its already cheap enough! As I walked around the corner I saw "50% off store wide" no joke if I had $200 on me it would have been gone I would have had a whole new wardrobe! The sale ended that day! I only ended up getting a pair of jeans $7.50 and a top $7.50 but if I had money it would have been a different story! We are trying to save remember! I had yet another frozen meal for dinner and Romy had chicken wings. Watched more CI and was in bed earlish. Romy was watching TV way too loud in bed and I cracked the shits so he went and fell asleep on the couch watching TV. I find it really selfish when he comes to bed and watches TV so loud I cant fall asleep, I had to get up early in the morning, yes so does he, but I CANT sleep with a blaring TV unlike him an he has known that allll along! But I guess its something we will learn to compromise with. Monday 19th February 2007. Romy got to bed at about 3am I reckon, not quite sure though. The alarm went off at 5:30 and he said he’d go to work a bit later. I got up at 7am and had to leave the house at 7:45 to get to work on time. Romy got himself ready and we didn’t leave until 8am. I dropped him off basically at the door so he was only about an hour or so late (it didn’t matter at his work, they could start and finish whenever as long as they did 8 hrs). He had my phone because he wanted to make a few calls. I got a phone call from him a few hours later. He had only been at this new job for a couple of days. Apparently they wanted "welders" not "boilermakers", apparently there is a difference, boilermakers are more certified so they get paid more, Romy is a boilermaker. The boss said he’d keep him on if he was willing to take a $5 p/h pay cut and Romy politely said no thanks. I can’t blame him that’s for sure, you’d get paid more at Maccas! Romy rang me again during the day, more towards hometime asking if I had been seeing Shannon without him knowing it. Romy is the one who wanted me to be friends with Shannon in the first place, I didn’t want to, but I did it to keep the peace. Romy and Shannon actually get along like a house on fire. I messaged Shannon on Friday night to find out if his brother still goes to the pub we go to. He messaged me Sunday afternoon to see if Romy and I wanted to go and see the house he just moved into (which I politely said we were busy). So obviously Romy saw these messages and thought something was going on. I stopped off at the shops on the way home and got bread and softdrink. When I got home there was a motorbike in the driveway, it was Refa. Refa had called Romy on my phone to catch up and wanted to go out for Nandos, Romy said whats the point on spending $30 on Nandos when I had chicken out. Good point. As I pulled up Romy screams "The dogs coming" next thing I know Hercs in my car giving me big kisses, he loves greeting Mummy. I said Gday to Refa and Romy goes ‘arent you going to give him a kiss’ hahaha noooo Refa and I don’t DO that sort of thing, we have a brother/sister relationship! I made my "Switch Café" inspired Creamy Tomato Chicken Fettucine. I love that pasta. I estimate it to be about 8pts. I gave the boys big servings and kept mine small. Normally Romy and I have the same amount, so that was a good start to WW! Refa said "Nicky, seriously, this is awesome". I was happy to see Refa having a home cooked meal. His mum moved out of the house and now he is living with his sister and 4 other chicks (no joke) so he eats takeaway non stop. It was nice to listen to Refa tell us stories about a girl he met at St Kilda fest, about how he doesn’t want to get too excited but he’s never felt that way about a girl before. Very cute. I wonder if Romy would say yes if I asked him to have Refa as one of his groomsmen. I know 3 that Romy would choose, his brother Joe, and best mates Brendan and James. I want to have 4 (Jacqui, Charmaine (his sister) and Sonia and Tina). Speaking of Sonia, after Refa left I got a message off her asking what Trish had said about getting her started on drugs. I told her that at the wedding she was scared to smoke in front of her dad and I said as a joke "Don’t worry I got the blame for her smoking when we were 15" and she goes "yeah and I probably got the blame for her doing drugs". Sonia writes back "Fucking hell so you are delusional too making things up, real funny joke". I asked her what was wrong and she didn’t reply. She must have been having a fight with Trish. I better go for a coffee with her soon. Romy brought up the whole Shannon thing and said "Nicky if you are thinking of cheating better you tell me" and I said "Romy, I wouldn’t waste anyones time, if I was even thinking of doing it I wouldn’t be in this house" and that was that, it couldn’t be anymore truthful than that. So then we watched Fast and the Furious and Cops. Man we love that CI channel. I watched Hercules and HIS kitten Sam play they are so cute. I couldn’t not have a kitten after playing with them for so long. Romy was so funny about them though, funny in a "no thanks" way. He has never had a cat and his parents don’t like cats so straight away he thinks the worse "They will piss and shit in the house" – What tha! Cats are smarter than dogs in that way! At 5 weeks old she is ALREADY using her kitty litter! She hasn’t had one single "accident" since she’s been at our house! Hercules is so gentle with her. It looks like he is hurting her but he is just playing. He puts her back legs in his mouth, but doesn’t bite! She smacks him in the face so he licks her ears. It’s really sweet the way they are together. She wakes up and screams when she can’t see him, screams until he comes over to her and then she stops. They eat together! Something I didn’t think Herc would do is share, but he lets her eat, then pushes her out the way so he can have some, and then lets her have some more, so cute. They sleep together in the lounge room. Tuesday 20th February 2007. Not a very exciting day. Worked, as per usual. It was late night and no way was I going to stay until 8pm seeing as I started at 9 and everyone else came in at 11-12! So I left at 6:30pm. The girls made me call the jewellers to find out when I am getting my ring back. Maybe they don’t believe I have one LOL! Apparently I should get it back Saturday if there are no problems. Fingers crossed there are no problems! I got home and it was "too hot" to cook (says Romy, thank god its not going to be that hot over the weekend etc) so I had a bagette from Hungry Jacks for dinner. We watched TV and headed off to bed. Wednesday 21st February 2007. Exactly one month until my 23rd birthday! Gosh it has come very quickly. Romy has already organised my birthday present – I wonder what it is… I need to organise to do something for my birthday. Mum keeps saying to join it with an engagement party, I dunno. I think that’s what Romy wants to do too. Romy’s said he’ll organise it all but I want to make invitations so I better bust him to find out LOL! I left work at 5 on the dot, I was so over it. At lunch time I went to Doncaster to find some paper for invites (hopeless shopping centre for that) and went into myers – 50% off the marked down price, oh god! They had Stella dresses marked down to $65 which would make them $32.50! Wish I had cash on me! Probably lucky I didn’t. That night we went to Mum and Dads for dinner and had steak and salad. How funny when I got my mail there was a $20 Myer voucher from Myer One. HOW HOW HOW HOOOOOOW have I spent nearly $2000 in 8 months there? I barely ever shop there? I’ll spend that $20 voucher on Friday night. We went home and watched more CI channel, gosh that is such an interesting Channel! Anyone who has foxtel, get it! Thursday 22nd February 2007. Ahhh my half day alone. The dental nurse turned up with her little brother, he didn’t want to do japanese so she was going to drop him off later, she shouldn’t have let him get away with that!!! Romy rang me in the morning, "Big problem" – I thought the cat had been chewed up by Herc or something. Nope… Our across the driveway neighbour had complained at their body corporate meeting that our front door light shines into her bedroom, making it hard for her to sleep, so the landlord is going to install a security light. All good, apart from the fact they said "within a few days". Legally they should have to tell us a precise time and day! Our Landlord has a habit of fixing one thing and then going and fixing a few other things (like trimming back a tree etc) even though they weren’t meant to be there in the first place. So Mum came and picked Herc and Romy and went to her house. Poor Herc has to stay at his Nonnas house for a "few days". We had Pizza at mum and dads, something I was annoyed about. After going through their fridge I decided to get Vegetarian pizza, but then AFTER I ate it I remembered they had frozen meals in the front freezer! Grrrrr. I hope this doesn’t affect weigh in, I really don’t. We went to Romys parents (hr drive) and I ended up going for a drive with his sister. 30 mins she said we’d be, errr nope, more like 1.5hrs! Bugger. We got home and watched a show about ASPCA, the american version of RSPCA, my god some things people do to animals makes me so sick! And that was that, bed time.
WOW IT WORKS!
OMG it working *Please don't jinx me*.
HELLLLLO EVERYONE!
How are you all!
I miss you all so so soooo much! You have no Idea! ASH I want, no no, I AM going to see your bubba soon!
Can someone PLEASE organise a lunch meet or something! i promise I will come! Just sms me the details 0410954656.
OK so what has been happening.
I have a new job, I am a "Practice Manager" at a Dentist. It is basically a receptionist job with a glorified title and salary. My basic duties - Take bookings, Try to get new bookings, greeting clients, making people happy, and bookkeeping, which I love, and marketing, which I am TRYING but how do you advertise a dentist (I was thinking Wedding Expos for the whitening and clear braces?).
Weddings are a sudden obsession of mine, especially since I am ENGAGED and all! hehe, Yep Romy popped the question last week, after asking my parents for permission last December I didnt think it was ever going to happen! But he was away for 2 weeks at his parents painting, so he thought it was the perfect day to do it, when he got back :) Stacey was the first to see the ring which was taken off me the next day to get resized, 5.5 sizes smaller, Ohhh i have such small small fingers :( So upsetting because I wont see it for another week or so. So its been less than a week since I have been engaged and gimme gimme, Wedding Magazines haha, Honestly though, how can they charge up to $20 for each mag.
So obviously I'll have to make a wedding website, which I obviously won't be able to update ha.
We havent really got the net at work, well we have, but its dial up, and sooo slow, and it took 10 mins to load this and it will probably stuff up anyway so I am typing at 1000000 words a second. I tried loading Vox at the internet cafe but it wouldnt work?
Ok so I am a big fat blog still - I am about 73kg- Bad bad bad. Eating is horrible, no exercise, looooots of fizzy drinks and cigarettes, I'm just a time bomb waiting to explode hey. Things are changing though, and no I am not just "saying it" this time like I bloody always do. I am going to WW in Croydon this weekend (9am Sat), and resigning up as a new member (Free until the end of sat - see, I even RANG ww!). Romy started a new job so we are going to buy us a months memebership each to the local Gym, its only $29 so thats ok.
Hercules is driving us nuts at nighttime with his barking, we have decided he needs another puppy dog. Heidi also had 7 kittens, but I have to choose between a kitten and a puppy, so i cant be selfish and need to think of Herc.
Hey Ash I work right near where you live! Im in East Doncaster! Near The Pines!
Anyway.
I tried to get a loan last week for a house I feel in love with. I couldnt get the loan because I hadn't been at my job for long enough, fair enough. It was through a bank so they are a bit tight.... I have a few people coming over soon to talk about lending etc. Lucky I didnt get the loan because they house was advertised $240,000+ and ended up selling for $295,000!!!! I would have been even more shattered! It was a 5br 2 bth old cottage 2 story house with attic windows in Ferntree Gully, it needed some work, but Romys got all the connections to get it done Cheap.
Now we are looking at Building in Lilydale or Croydon (which ones Nicer? I think Croydon?), 3br houses and land are from $230,000 there. I think thats pretty good. As long as I get 3br minimum, a walk in robe and a house thats not going to fall down, I am happy LOL! So fingers crossed for that. We only have about 4-5 months left on the lease, I think it was July we moved in.... Its gone quickly.
My birthday is in about 5 weeks, again, 23, oh god, I am getting old.
My grey hairs are going mental and I really do need to go back to being blonde. Can anyone recommend a CHEAP hairdresser - Either side of town!
Ok so I better try to post this now
I'll try and do it again soon too!
Nicky!!!!
Hello.
Hey everyone. 4:16pm on Monday 8th of Jan.
Gosh I havent had work for nearly a week and a half.
I am feeling a lot more positive about the whole thing now. I will be making a few calls within the next couple of days (when I get a chance) in regards to unfair dismissal. As Fiorella said - These new laws are nasty, so wether or not its even worth it is a completely different question.
Ive had a few interviews - Well 4 in total. The first one I knew I wouldnt get but still wanted to go anyway - It was for a 6 month contract in the city. The recruitment lady already told me they wanted to hire internally first but I figured I'd go for the interview just to "brush up" on my interviewing skills. The second was on Friday and is VERY promising - Especially since my interview with the company directly is tomorrow morning at 10am. This is for an accounting firm in the city. It is a 6 month contract with a definite outlook at becoming permanent. Fingers crossed for this one.
I had 2 interview today. One this morning is to be the Manager of 2 dentists - Sounds different but I'm funny about it, I just think it would be pretty damn boring? The guy seemed impressed and I should hear back today. My 2nd interview today was with a Recruitment office to become an actual recruitment consultant. Recruiting is something Ive been interested in for a while now, but I would have to take a $5k paycut, back down to $42k.... So more than I was on at DGTEC but less than I was on at GR. BUT after the 3 month probationary I have the opportunity to earn commission buy building my client database and recruitment databse - But yeah Im just iffy.... Any pointers?
GR is now just stuffing me around. I called him last Tuesday like he asked, and he told me "I still havent figured out what I want to do with you, I'll call you towards the end of this week" - Still haven't heard, I am certainly NOT going to sit around waiting for them.
Our savings is slowing being spent though and I really want something ASAP!
Im enjoying having some time with Romy and Herc though. Yesterday we didnt do much, watched TV, DVDs and had a homecooked meal and it was seriously fantastic.
Oh by the way, Romys decided not to give the ring out as of yet, he would at least like us to have jobs first.... I completely understand.
I might try and read up on everyone else's blogs now!

Im Alive
Barely
Drama Queen
On the 27th I got fired for being "Too young - Not enough life experience" - Ever heard so much bullshit in your whole life? he reckons he's going to find me another position within the company, but I'm not going to sit and wait anymore, its already been 1 week. If he doesnt give me something else, I am going to be lodging an unfair dismissal case - As being told you are "Too young" is discrimination.....
So great way to start 2007 - Unemployed
Right now I'm sitting in an internet cafe - No laptop, no mobile - BLAH (Well my personal mobile yes).
Must get a job
Bye
(Old mobile number back in use)
P.S - I would appreciate if no one mentioned this to ANYONE, even if you trust them you don't know who they talk to and it could end up getting back to the company - Thank you.
Guess what - I'M ALIVE!
Hahaha sorry I am hopeless at the moment. Today I've gone into total mind freeze and I really don't want to do any work! Ive been working so hard lately and the "holidays" are coming up so I'm allowed to have a slack day right?
BUT Unfortunately, as soon as I finish up here at work, I will be heading off to our Flemington sale to help them "recover" - I'm getting cash in hand for that so me no complain! I'll also be working Saturday there, HOPEFULLY 12hrs (Haha never thought I'd say HOPEFULLY!) But the extra cash ROCKS!
My eating has been absolutely fucking nuts. Shortbread, chocolates, everything, Gosh Christmas sucks that way. I've made an oath to myself to lose 10kg next year. Don't got nuts at me about that being too much rah rah rah. Ive seriously put on about 10kg from my lowest weight and I felt like I could take on the world at that weight, and I want to get back there ok. IS THAT OK haahhahaha.
How I am still managing to squeeze into size 10's I do not know.
Jason (The HR manager) and i are taking 1hr off today to go to Brand Smart, the outlets near us. We both havent finished our Christmas shopping (Someone who has a christmas blog hasnt finished christmas shopping - NUTS!) and since we are going to Flem tonight we figured we can take 1hr off, mind you we also work 10hr days, so we are probably ENTITLED to a "1hr" lunch break.
Romy wont be home until Sunday arvo as he is painting 3 of our coastal stores about 2hrs drive away. His Mum is coming up to stay with me from tomorrow night I think, and so is his sister who is arriving back from LONDON tomorrow WOOHOO! I am quite excited to see her! Romy is bursting with excitment.
So the next few days will be chockers! I still need to do the grocery shopping and start organising the food. Having Romys Mum there will be a blessing!
My gosh, you should see how EXCITED my Mum is about Romy proposing, actually my whole family was! I thought they'd be like "NO NO NO ITS TOO SOON ARE YOU CRAZY" but they are the opposite! Dont know if its going to happen on christmas day because he says the ring is "Still being made" - But I think he's tricking me.
Ok now I have to go (again) to the Warehouse.
35 degrees today! OUCH!
Nicky.
Silly Billys!
Im not ACTUALLY engaged, I just know that he is GOING to propose!! :)
Nicky.
Geez Louise!
I AM HERE hahahaha. Nice to know people care though :)
Lets start from the Beginning.
Fri: Finished work late (surprise surprise). Went to the pub afterwork. Stayed there until 9ish and then headed back to ours. Iz, Lee, Anthea, Jason and Jay came back to our house. Romy brought 4 pizzas, 2 bottles of wine, 6 beers and 12 cougars. I dont know if this sounds nasty but I wish he didnt. 3 weeks in a row everyones come to our house for a BBQ or something and its getting kind of expensive to feed them all. Got to bed at about 3ish.
Sat: Alarm went off at 4:30 (no joke), finally got Romy to my work at about 6am after dropping Iz off. Thought I lost the Eftpos card. Went back to sleep until 9 which was a bit late because I still had to pick Herc up (Landlords fixed our leaking pipe finally). Went to the butchers to work, went to the bank and ordered a new eftpos card (which I then later found in my bloody bag!). Worked until 1:30 and got $20 and a lot of meat for it LOL! It was fun, I like chatting to dad like that I blab on and on and on. Picked Romy up from work. Had a snooze for about an hour. Went to the Meadows to watch Romys dads dog. I think he came 3rd can't remember LOL! Then everyone came over to our house again but I excused myself after they had been over for like 15 mins because it was midnight and I was BUGGERED. Romy apparently came to bed 30 mins later and they all let themselves out haha ruuuuuude hosts. Oh yeah and after the races we visited Jacqui at work
Sunday: Slept in and then decided to go to Mum and Dads for a swim because it was SOOOOO hot. Romy asked my Dad for permission to marry me, and also asked Mum, yes, you heard it right (its so going to happen christmas day - 3 year engagement ok!) Got home at about 6ish. Carked it.
Monday: THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE SO FAR.
Woke up a little bit late and rushed big time to get to the airport - Had to go past works PO box to get my taxi voucher. Made the plane on time. Actually by the time it left I was 45 mins early. Got to Sydney late, turned my phone back on and had a mental blank, couldnt remember my code, ended up PUKing my phone PUUUUUUUUUUUK! Tried calling all the telstra reps via the phone box, typical, no answer. FUCK! Got a taxi, got on my laptop and tried to reach them via email. Only took 15 mins to get to the place, closed my laptop thinking it would hibernate.
So I spent 10 mins walking stairs, going up lifts trying to find the studio. FINALLY found it, walked in and there was about 10 ppls. Met Fiona the girl that set it all up. I didnt want lunch so the girl did my hair and make up straight away. She was so nice. She does the make up for the biggest loser. She did an awesome job!!! Went and saw the stylist. Oh got SO excited while getting my hair and make up done when I saw this dress in a reddy pink thinking YAY thats for me. AS IF! I dont know if this girl thought because im 22 she could make my look like a slut? She handed me this dress, checkered black and white with writing on the bottom. "I thought we'd try this with the jeans underneath". Shame the jeans had zips all up the sides, FERRAL. With BRIGHT pink shoes! She goes "You can get changed here" - Ok sure whatever, "RIght here!??!" It was an OPEN change room, like OPEN. There was a screen but only a 2 sided screen, the other 2 sides were OPEN! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but when you are on WW you are obviously self concious yes? Well I think so, and to make me get changed in front of everyone was HUMILIATING! I wanted to die, I almost started crying right there!
I put on the outfit and automatically felt like a fuck wit. The manager girl looked at it and she was instantly disapointed. So she put me in some J & Company jeans, which yes were comfy but SO NOT ME. Far out why did I write them 2 paragraphs about what clothes I like seriously! I wore a Wheels and Baby doll top that was ferral as well, she wanted me to make my boobs look bigger but I swear they have shrunk I couldnt boost them at all (normally I can just arrange them). Tried a few shots and nope no good. So I got changed into a green and white striped top which yes was cute, but with the jeans and BRIGHT PINK SHOES it looked ferral. I felt so uncomfortable. The make up artist helped me with my pose etc, and they put me in the most uncomfortable positons and said "Look natural" FAR OUT! They were so disappointed in my I could tell. I felt like shit. I am not a model so dont expect me to act like one! I almost feel like the just gave up in the end and were like "yep that will do lets go home"
So the shoot ended 3hrs early. I went to the airport, opened my laptop, turned it on and it turned straight off - FLAT BATTERY! My god! So 3hrs at the airport, no phone, no laptop, I was going insane. Then the BIGGEST storm came and no planes were leaving for ONE HOUR! I wanted to cry. All I wanted to do was go home, I felt horrible, I just wanted a hug from Romy and Herc. Got home at about 9:15pm Romy had to leave straight to our Elsternwick store to paint it so I ended up getting to sleep at 2am by myself :( The whole experience was horrible but I guess I can at least say ive done it. You all think im being a whinger.
Tues: Kept making SO many mistakes at work and my boss kept cracking it! Fair enough cause I seriously was making mistakes, the past week or so I'm been under the hammer hard core with people throwing shit at me. He told me we would "speak about organising me" tomorrow.
Weds: Had a 3.5hr meeting with my boss and decided I need to interview all the receptionists on Thurs. Ran around like a headless chook again. Jason from work came over for steak.
Thurs: Interviewed about 7 or 8 ppl. 3 were good, 1 of those was REALLY good. Shes coming in to meet my boss tomorrow. Hopefully she'll start tomorrow too. Found a BEAUTIFUL one off dress in the store, its made for me hahaha $29 (So $20 for me). WOOHOO! I swear I think Ive lost weight the past week, through stress etc etc, I'm not complaining though!
So thats whats been happening, I think I filled you all in....
Its been a horrible week and I cant wait for it to finish!
Nicky.
Money Money Money
I hate money at the moment.
HATE it.
Yesterday arvo Romy called me saying that he had been sent home from work and told that they had to take 2 days annual leave because there was no work. All way fine until he called me this arvo saying that he only has 3hrs annual leave owing to him! That would be fine if I knew that before - We were basically relying on his pay for the rent. Oh well I'll sort it all out but this does mean one thing...
NO long weekend in Sydney - I'll just have to go up for the day :(
The company says that they will be back on like normal next week - God help me if they arent because I have NO IDEA how we will pay for everyone's christmas presents. I am so scared.
And to make matters worse..... The company closes for 4 weeks over Christmas.
Seriously - OH MY GOD.
So I am trying to get him some work at my work.
I hate money.
Why can't I be rich?
