[Madness Within | bored]

I need help with writing a personal statement. I wrote one but I am unsure whethere I should send it, so I started on a new one and I am stuck and blocked! Stupid thing to ask on Friday night so I think I will have to ask again tomorrow or Monday...Or copy paste this one...

Good news coming from Hays, the agency, I first registered and the only ones answering their phones and ringing candidates back. Don't want to jynx it so just pray I will get even better news on Monday.

***Is anyone doing anything for Eurovision tomorrow? I want to get the night off and can ring agency now and see if they can do my shifts but if no one is  partying is useless... I WANT A EUROVISION PARTY!!!! HAVE NO TELLY SO CANNOT DO IN MINE!***

OFF to find something useful to do for the next hour since service users are not interested and one looked at me in a no funny kind of way when I suggested to go to teh pictures. Even offering to pay was a bad idea... My boss said to insist but I think I'd rather take the hint.

I am useless...

more work woos and cheesy therapy [May. 13th, 2009|08:38 am]
[Madness Within | drained]

Thought a lot about this job situation after my post last night and am not sure I can do this now. I am looking for another job as we speak and have had leads but I am so unsure if I am getting to the weekend alive... I had said in a meeting I couldn't do more than 3 sleep overs (2 being the ideal) but they seem to have forgotten...they say I don't need to do the uncovered shifts but then I aks to get agency and they are reluctant and bully you into doing them...I mean I can't even have tomorro off, my only day off thsi week!!!

Anyway, since we are moving home and need the cash I will finish this week, as it is the cut off period for this months wages, and then 2 sleep overs and I do not care. That is it also, I am always alone and feel so unsupported by the management!


ION, saw the Eurovision semifinals... hehe... I wanted Belorus and teh Czheks to pass cos tehy were so cheesy... I am loving the Armenian's but Turkey has teh catchiest tune and the hottest babe:) CHEESE is so good for you when you are overworked, undervalued and underpaid!!!

I wish I could take Saturday night off and go to a Eurovision party!! I am on a double shift though:/  (ie, starting on Friday at 1 and leaving this place on Sunday at 1) NO DAYS OFF BEFORE OR TIL the 26 (cos I begged) AM I STUPID?

extra hours= extra happiness [Apr. 22nd, 2009|03:48 pm]
I doubt this will be read by many people seeing that most are in Whitby already, or on the way... I am so damn jealous but it is worth it this time. I am doing slave hours this week and doing 5 sleep overs. (on the second one today) Let's put it this way by the end of this week I will have worked enough hours to pay a months rent. In ONE week! Since the rent is already paid by my beautiful (sorely missed) husband, and I will be working silly hours for the rest of my life as I am literally, after supervision, running this House/Project, I can instead:

a) Buy a ticket to Mexico to go see my dad for a week, maybe in June.
b) Buy a ticket for my dad to come and visit instead
c) Go to visit people I miss and who are surely in the Elsinore drinking for me
d) Send money to my dad to help him through the divorce an dseeling of the house (no you didn't miss taht post... Will write about that when I am less busy)
e) Put the money away to attempt to save in order to get on the property ladder and buy a wee palace in N4, N7 or N#SOMETHING (Ilford appeals though far)

ANY other ideas or votes? 

That is if the new budget will allow me to have food money after they nick our hard earned cash

ENJOY WHITBY, AND PLEASE DRINK THE ELSINORE DRY FOR US!!!


Back to doing stuff in what is now my second home:) MIGHT be out Friday. What are you doing if yer not Whitbying?

[Madness Within | tired]



My first ever free Bank Holiday weekend was quite enjoyable!

Friday attended 'Departure' and had a jolly good time seeing people again and being at the right side of the bar again:) Good tunes, good atmosphere, good folk!  Thanks for the compliments and your congratulations on the new job:) 

Saturday we went to a Mexican party in a pub just up the road from us. Mexican music, food and friends. Chido:) 

Sunday's  BBQ got cancelled due to the poor weather conditions so instead we had friends over for drinks in the vening and until 8 am Monday! Good party then! Should do this more often.

Today, Monday, was largely spent vegetating, munching take away food, only leaving the bed to visit the potty, and watching Monsters Inc for the billionth time, and looking at our photo albums one more time.

I cut my hair on Friday by the way. Will keep it short now I think. Will change the colour, thouhgh...what do you think? 



Friday



Family sunday



Sunday. All motherly with Nagini




Lord of the beasts or [info]karcharoth  the barbarian ;)

SO LONG FAREWELL I HOPE YOU ROT IN HEEEEELL:) [Apr. 3rd, 2009|08:31 am]
Like my version of the classic? This made me really happy this morning:) I love it when the Guardian has good news. He did ferk all for England and then Mexico goes and hire him and we Lose -witha  capital L- like we never did. I mean we lose to cool teams -NOT GOOD BUT HEY- but with him we lost vs the U.S. and Honduras FFS!!!!

Hate that he is wearing that top. He is not worthy! To think Mexico paid him so much!:(

[Impression Of Sound |when in rome - the promise]

Trial of teh chavette who attacked us was postponed so it is now to be held on TUESDAY 7TH OF APRIL AT 9>30 AM AT HIGHBURY AND ISLINGTON COURT Yes, this Tuesday coming. I am nervous but confident. I am more pissed off I have to miss work to be honest!  Would anyone liketo come give us a little bit of support???

The job is going well. Induction week, reading policies and stuff, not much action but by the sounds of it, I should be glad I get to sit and relax now cos the actual project where I will be working, which is located in Brixton,  is brand new, and the Service users and I are geting there at the same time! Exciting, eh? Best thing is, it is me who is starting the project, basically! This is not the only challenge, though... It is a Forensic Mental Health Unit, meaning it's people with mental health issues who have offended or are at risk of offending... So HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Another challenge is the girl who is also starting with me and who has no experience but is a psychology student... she needs more attention than the residents...

More on that later or I will be late for work:) Feel so important now ;)

Cyber Friday! teaching & partying! [Mar. 27th, 2009|02:28 pm]
[Madness Within | cheerful]

Just back from teaching. I like getting lots of cash for spending one hour sitting speaking Spanish (or making someone else do it for me, more like!) This student is going away for a wee while as she travels for work loads and now is going to Uruguay (reason to learn Spanish# 1) therefore we were not going to have lessons for weeks, but today it dawned to me that we are not in VIctorian times and the internet can be used for more than just refreshing LJ and Mypace to see if someone remembers you exist or what they have been doing that is more important than reading your interesting posts LOL ;)  . I have suggested to her that we use MSN and Skype to continue the lessons and she agreed! :) Now it remains to be seen how we can go about that. I mean, My lesson plans wuld have to be a bit different and the time difference would be an issue...also getting paid... Hope we can work it out!!! Any ideas, welcome!!


Good thing about todays lesson was also that I got moneyyyyyy!!!! Which means I can go out tonight!!!!!!!!!!! WHOHOO!!! I am obviously going to this:






It'll be great to see darling
[info]kmrikky  and [info]infernalia666 burn the house down with their powerful industrial noise:)  Come on everyone, let's go! Won't be drinking much which is good cos I have a hangover from last night's real tequila we had when our Mex friend Juan came over to smoke shisha with us:)

SAD THINGEES

* Leaving the kitty alone for so long (catsitter nice but I'll miss the puddytat)

In exactly one week we will be here, seeing all these fantastic things, doing all these amazing things like lying around the sun, sleeping in a sea side room witha  pool view, and being served yummy food and beverages:) ... and snorkelling, visiting the Beduins, riding camels, and maybe even riding a desert motorbike! :) Exotic, eh? CAN'T WAIT!!!

Also next week will be great with smashing stuff happening, like Erin & Roger visiting, teaching, getting my marked essay, and my first Age Concern befriending session/visit to the lady with dementia  I met today... All this goodness:)

"What ever happened to all the heroes"

Specifically THE CURE. I am not going into detail now and will write something when I can be bothered but FFS! Like a bad rehearsal... only the guitarrist and keyboardist missed it and the good drummer rang in sick and was substitued by a crap drum machine... Andreu couldn't keep his eyes open at times, ya know?

This might be the end of my Cure career after 20 something years... Will stick to my pre Wish (INC.) CD's .. Feels like someone really loved just passed away...


To think just last week our dear friend Roger (ex- cure keyboard roger) played 'Homesick' (which he wrote) for me in the piano at work... That was 1000000 better... OBVIOUSLY!!!! Texting hm to remind him that without him, Perry & Boris it's shite...
