Interviews

OK, so it's been 5 years since I last had an interview and I'm so nervous. I have 3 tomorrow. I shouldn't be nervous and I know it, I already have a job, so it's not like I am relying on this interview to get work so I can pay my bills. I'm just wanting a change.

I didn't expect that I would be called in for interviews so quickly. I submitted my CV on Tuesday evening and on Wednesday morning everyone I submitted it to called and made appointments to see me on the Friday. Didn't think my CV was that appealing actually and was expecting that I would need to really update it a bit more before anyone would want to call me in. I guess not. I'm not complaining, just nervous.

Alright Mim, just look at it as though you were going to sit down with a client and speak with them. It's not an interview, it's just a meeting, simple. No need to be nervous. Oh lord, what if I'm making a mistake looking for other work, isn't there a saying "it's better the devil you know"?

Mmmm, deep breath...stop overthinking woman!

Jeez I talk to myself a lot ; )

So tired

I'm so tired, all I want is a break. I'm not asking for much, but it just doesn't happen. Being a single mum, working full time, studying, doing some work on the side for extra cash, leaves me with no time to just relax. On those rare occasions that I stop & do something for me, I get made to feel like I've done something wrong.

I hate working & then not getting anywhere...bills are piling up, I need new shoes, haven't had a hair cut in over 6 months, my clothes are falling apart. I do have my fish tanks...my thing...I love my tanks.

I so need a makeover, new clothes, haircut, eyebrows waxed, tummy tuk ; ), well maybe not the tummy tuk, I could exercise if I wasn't so tired, the treadmill is right behind me, mocking me, reminding me that I'm lazy and need to get up and work up a sweat. Bad treadmill.

Really should be studying now, I'm falling behind. Not touching it tonight though, had a rough day at work, so having a wine tonight...I'll feel guilty tomorrow for allowing myself to do something I shouldn't be doing. Because I'm super woman & can do everything. You say Jump & I say sure, how high, where would you like me to Jump, what type of jump would you like. I will give you the best god damn jump I can give, even if it means no sleep for me. I can live without sleep. Who said you needed that.

Anyway, enough whinging. I have a glass of wine waiting for me, a MYOB file to unlock & balance forward, a newsletter to get out, school lunch to make, dinner to cook, dishes to do, clothes washing, floors to sweep, dog to feed. and the list goes on.

Thanks for reading and a big thanks to all the parents out there who are in a similar situation to me, you are amazing. We are amazing!
