Life, what an adventure. Lots of have certainly changed in the last few months - I know I don't post very often, and nor do I comment, but know that I'm on LJ nearly every single day, I'm always reading, but I'm so bad at commenting that I generally keep my thoughts to myself.
So I've moved out of Bendigo. Finally. I live Melbourne with my amazing finace Jordan, my best friend Mel and Mel's three crazy cats. We have a two bedroom apartment in a good suburb and while it's in a bit of awkward spot when it comes to supermarkets, I'm enjoying it. It takes me about an hour to get to my new job via tram, which isn't so bad, I at least I don't have to start until 9am most mornings, so I guess it's still a bit of a bonus.
Living in Melbourne is amazing. I can't wait to start receiving my finally decent pay so that I feel like I can actually enjoy life - I have plans to save and love that I will finally be able to save while not having to feel in a total pinch every day. It's a good feeling.
My new job though... I guess I'm feeling a little meh-ish about it. I work at a busy clothing store and it's... well, it's been harder than I thought. I've taken the role of 2iC and it's just so different being back in retail after 2 years out. Especially being back in incredibly busy retail that is constantly demanding. I am constantly in huge amounts of pain because I'm not used to being back on my feet for 8 - 10 hours, moving stock around, instructing staff, dealing with customers. I know I'll get used to it, but right now it just feels really hard. Going into a brand new retail shop just a few weeks before Christmas is just massive culture shock and I wonder if I can cope with it.
I went for the 2iC job because I felt that at this point in my life, I would feel useless if I went for anything less. And I guess I still feel like that, but at the same time, I want to have a little time to enjoy life. I have a wedding to plan, a life to enjoy... I don't know. I know that I HAVE to work, but when Jordan doesn't have a job and I kind of want to enjoy life with him, it's kind of hard.
I kinda miss playing World of Warcraft - I have a level 85 Draenei Hunter called Issha who I absolutely adore. J plays WoW with me as well, it's great fun.
But anyway. Other than that, life is going well, haha. I work 7 days straight to Christmas and 5 days straight after, so Christmas will be spent in my pyjamas, cuddling a Jordan and sleeping.
