Countdown to the New Normal.
We moved. It was fucking awful. Holy FUCK was it awful. But it's settling down now and apart from the fact that I have just over a week to do a dissertation that I have barely started, I'm pretty OK. (I mean, I have my papers and I have my proposal outline and I have my research for the most part but I have not started to SYNTHESISE) I just need ( Read more... ) -
A bit more of the positive
Back to school for the kids this week- Thank Goodness! I really wish that their break had coincided with mine, as the combination of uni and essay submission made the first 4+ weeks of their holidays pretty miserable. We got out and did some things but not as much as we'd hoped to have done. Either way, I got L to the museums in London (man that ( Read more... ) -
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... *deep breath*... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I should be writing a reflective essay right now. I'm not. Obvs. But I'm going to be reflective, because that's what LJ is all about, right ( Read more... ) -
Onwards
Leaving work sucked and was amazing all in one. It sucked because no one gave a shit for the most part and I can't help but feel a little bit hurt by that.

RELIEF
RELIEF. I have been asked to train a group of new starters in my last week at work. I don't really want to deal with any administrative bullshit, but I will sooooo take those 6-7hr days over three 12.5 shifts on my last week when I am ready to be done. This brings my total shifts left down to 4. I can do that. I can do four shifts. I've now planned ( Read more... ) -

The past month has been a whirlwind of work and family events squeezed into every available minute. I started my Senior job on the 10th, which also meant swapping shifts- and messing up carefully laid plans for the next few weeks. It really just meant I worked about 225 hours this month, which will be nice on the paycheck next month ( Read more... ) -

I finally got the Senior job and people are being jerks about it. I honestly don't care too much, only that I have to work with those jerks and it's hard to make jerks respect you when they never wanted to in the first place. It'll be fine in a few weeks ( Read more... ) -

Death
Death is weird. I mean, I've experienced it before- death and grief. My grandparents died when I was 17 and 19, both deaths were intense in different ways (my grandma got very ill and died a few months later, my grandpa was sudden and unexpected) and were really really hard on me ( Read more... )
