Moving forward and upwards

Good luck with your job hunting. Your plans sound good.

Thanks Skinty and DIA

Just had the one call, they were late. I forgot how negative this agency are. They said the same to me today as when I first moved up here.
- I know which agency I won't be bothering with!

Got my next call tomorrow, that's for a specific position. I'll have to get some more applications out this week and next. 

Had an absolute crabby day, 'Jack' is showing true colours and is a right idiot, it's noticed by others but sadly not the ones wearing rose tinted glasses.

I'm having soup for tea, pudding is fresh strawberries.

Sounds healthy food at least. Can only control what you can

Thanks SH

It's hard when things are being physically thrown on my desk or snatched from my hand. Such a spoilt child.

Anyhow, the sun is shining this morning!

I wouldn’t accept that behaviour from anyone! Makes my blood boil that he’s treating you like that! 🤬 I’d be asking him where his manners are. Hope you have had a better day today

Thanks Skinty, none of the D's have manners. Another won't speak to a colleague and stopped speaking with me as I get on well with the other person. It's like being at school!

Job hunt update:
- I submitted a direct application today.
- Had an agency email me 3 jobs and I said put me forward for 2 of them.
- Her colleague provided me a job spec and I'm on the fence with that; I have the theory but don't have the practical experience. 
- Another agency called, I'm speaking with them tomorrow.
- This evenings agency didn't call, I've sent them an email. Not writing them off as they have a job on the books I'm interested in and quickly replied when I sent my CV originally.

So far I've applications in over 3 counties 😃 there's there's employee / former employee reviews for me to consider for the companies I'm going for.

We had chicken with mole sauce wraps for tea.

Well done on all the applications and gardening. Your director sounds like my boss in terms of rudeness - luckily everyone else agrees and we ignore it so far. I am glad you had a pamper day and some time off and also the gluten free food is a great move, it is also linked to stress and once you are out of there you will feel so much better. Onwards and upwards my friend. Hugs, swx

I was teaching my trainee something today, when Jack had a go at me; he ended up eating humble pie and slinking away when I pointed a few things out. It's not a great impression for them and said it was totally uncalled for. I'm constantly reassuring them it's not normal, showing them how things are done here and telling them how better companies do things; what little confidence they had is fast slipping away and affecting their already fragile MH.
- I am looking forward to resigning 🤭

Tonight's agency didn't call, but at least had the decency to email and check my availability for next week. I've not heard from yesterday's one.

I'm planning on gardening the weekend, getting a few more direct applications out, reading one chapter of the book and resting.

We had spag bol for tea, mine was with GF pasta.

We are having a lovely day.  Up at 5ish and chilled for a bit with a latte.

Did the shopping, filled up and pumped tyres, was home by 8am:
- picked up fruit, veg, treats, some chicken, work lunch, dairy, GF wraps and pitta bread. TomBo added some GF sweet treats.
- petrol was £1.609, it's creeping up again.
- air cost 50p.

We've pottered around the garden. I've transplanted loads of marigolds and still have a lot more to deal with. TomBo has dealt with his compost bins and dug over a patch of the borrowed garden; I slipped marigolds in there too.

I've stopped for a break, had a double choc mocha and meds. 

Next gardening session is sow seeds, veg and flower ones, followed by lunch!

You had a very early start and a busy day yesterday but it sounds like you enjoyed it too 🤗 Is Tombo coming round to GF? Or were the sweet treats just for you? 😁
