Hello world! I hope you're all well and loving life lately.
Work has been really full-on over the past few weeks and I've been puttin' in the hard yards. I'm working on a special project writing applications for students applying for State Training Awards (have I mentioned I work at a uni?), and I find I'm really enjoying the challenge. I just wish that my regular job was as interesting. I was already considering a job change (and even a bit of a career change perhaps) and this has confirmed what I already knew - I am getting stale and need a proper challenge, stat! Not that I'm one of those ubercrazy driven career-type people (stomping their way up the corporate ladder); I want to be inspired and feel motivated by my work, and to enjoy what I do. Work is so much more than a pay cheque, and I long for a job that will make me feel good about getting up and heading to work each day. Is that too much to hope for?
Uni has been super-duper busy too, so lately I kind of feel like I'm leaving work after a 10-11ish hour day, to come home and start on my homework. Boo-hoo, I know, but I quite enjoy the drama of feeling hard done by and in a strange way get a bit of a kick out of being that busy for a change. But, bring on the end of semester all the same...
On another note, my folks are overseas at the moment, tripping the light fantastic on a tour of northern and eastern Europe. Lucky buggers! My Dad semi-retired a few years ago now, and since then he and my Mum have pretty much gone on a big overseas trip each a year. This usually falls around May sometime, so for the whatever-th year in a row (just about) my Mum is away for Mothers' Day. Bad Mummy! No, I'm just happy that they are finally getting the chance to live their lives for themselves and not giving it all up for their kiddies, and I just wish I had half the life they are living now! Good work parentals!
So I suppose the time has come for me to sign off. Rock on peeps!
Cheers
Tracy
