Hello folks
It has been awhile since we talked. The latest news is that I have started a Latin American Dance Class, boy was it tough. I made it through two dances before I crashed and burned. My whole body was killing me, I didn't know I had these muscles. However, in saying that I was allot of fun too. I met some really nice people and danced with some pretty cute guys. HEEHEHE, there was this one guy who was a champion, he was so nice to me, he didn't laugh and that made it a lot easier to do. Actually they were all really nice, and about the cute guys, none as cute as my Robert. I wish he wanted to join me in these classes, I know if he gave it a go that he would actually have fun. Not to mention spend time with me. I miss us doing stuff together, and this dancing thing is important to me, I hoped it would be important to him too.
Never mind, I will go again next week and hopefully finish three dances. I am going to bed now and let me tell you ill be sleeping like a baby.
Do yourself a favour take a dance class, there is nothing more refreshing than dancing and not realising you are exercising and it releaves stress too, and gets your heart rate up. I was sweating that is for sure.

This week
Today is Friday and the last day of my first week at work. I am the new Receptionist of a Company in my home town. It has been a fantastic week and I am sure I'll only get better and better once I have settled in. I did a hell of a lot of filing but that will die down next week. They had a lot of back log. What can I say, I think that I will live out my days here unless they hate me after 3 months and sack me. Who knows. I may even get pregnant and have to leave. That would be a shame and it would be a happy occasion.
I have showed everyone at work the Wedding book I did on www.blurb.com they all loved it so much that they are going to check it out and make their own books. I have started a trend. It's a good thing though. Well I'll keep you posted of the coming weeks. Tomorrow Suzie and Nana are coming over and I can't wait. I get to see my two gorgeous nephews and little sis & bro in law.
That is all for now people.

Third time lucky
Have you ever wondered why things happen the way they do? Well I do, all the time. Let me start at the beginning. In March I resigned my position with a Company, I was so nervous and was quite scared to do it. To my surprise the Branch Manager told me that I was an asset the the Company and that since I was moving so far away I should consider working at the Logistics side of the business. He said he would recommend me.
I thought, hey that sounds alright and so I went and did the whole meet my new employer even though I had already met him as he used to Manage Logistics at the same site as my job I just resigned from. Anyway, after starting there, I just got the job and only worked three days and decided that this wasn't for me and so I quit. I was pretty scared at the future of looking for work. So that morning I got onto the web and found the Company that I wanted to work for that happened to be in the town I live in.
They said they may have something going very soon in reception. In any case, I sent my details to them on their website and also called them. They replied a few days later saying that they would definitely keep me in mind. I thought great. Then I found some more details about another Company that I thought I may like to work for. I did the same thing, got the interviews and finally got the job. It had only taken me 2 weeks between jobs. I was amazed. I didn't hear anything more from the Company I really wanted that was in my home town.
In any case I worked not even two weeks when this other Company called me and so I went to the interview, however it wasn't an interview more like this is the job when can you start. I was thrilled and so I resigned from the other job. I am starting my new job on Monday.
The moral of this story is that this was a third time lucky situation and it panned out for me. It just goes to show you that when your confidence is high and you move to a new place and start fresh, it can be scary but at the same time your luck may finally come your way. This type of thing never happened to me before and sometimes I think my departed Mother had her hand in it in the spirit world.

Blurb
Hello folks
I have been introduced to a wonderful website called www.blurb.com. Basically you can download a program (for free) and write a book using this program, all the templates etc are in the program and you can do many things with it. For instance, I created a hard cover book with all my wedding pictures in the book.
What you do is download the program, write a book etc upload that to blurb and pay them money to print it for you. For all those writers out there who never get published, here is your big chance to do something like write your own book and get it printed and sell it online.
I just got my book in the mail today, it looks fantastic. A hard cover book with all my Wedding memories inside. The people I showed were so impressed they are going to do the same thing. I am also in the process of writing my novel. I am only up to chapter 2 but this has inspired me to keep writing it and hopefully it will be finished sometime soon and I can get it printed and sell it. This story has been in my head since I was in grade 5.
This is the time in my life when I read a lot of books and this inspired the story in the first place. I am looking forward to getting this finished and show everyone my story. Hope they all like it.
Till the next time

Job Hunting
Recently I have found myself looking for work again. I have not had to do that for about 2 years and have been trying to remember and research what to do now. I guess I got myself in a state over it because I was so used to going to work everyday that when I was at home like I am now I am lost.
I found a few usual things in the last week, I would recommend that you look up in your local area the Council or Municipal. There you can find employment groups, even jobs at the Council. I have written down a few places like Schools ( to which I may work in ) and also will be calling up the employment agencies in the area on Monday. Wish me luck on that.
What I have discovered is that my resume has had some excellent feed back from employers and that is always promising. I find that with your resume you have so many people and or Agencies telling you to do it this or that way. What I did is simply list my Employment history, any certificates or achievements in School or College/Tafe. My interests and at the top a list of Computer skills I have acquired along the way. Closing off with Referees.
It has worked for me and I think that even though hundreds of applications come through looking the same, I found that if you know that this will be the case; send yours in a pastel colour. Just enough difference that will catch someones eye. It may not be conventional but it can be an eye opener. Of course keep in mind the type of organisation you are applying to as you will find that if you are going for a job somewhere where you have a lot of old school people and someone over 50 they may not give you the job because of your bold statement. Use your discretion and common sense.
When writing letters, I start with the first paragraph stating that you are applying for the position advertised or cold canvas which ever it is. In the second paragraph I state that I have worked in that Industry or have had over 10 years experience (in my case), and tell them about my organisation and communication skills. Customer relation skills etc. In the closing paragraph I ask that they contact me on the contact numbers provided and thank them for their time.
