Testing for job

Published on 2007-07-25 02:02:00

I went in this morning to do some testing for a job prospect. This is the job that I've been waiting for. It's the type of tests that you can't prepare for. I guess there is a lot of "psychological" evaluations that employers are able to figure out just how a potential candidate would prosper.If all goes well, they will contact one of my referees, and if that goes well, then they'll contact me for an interview. It's hard to know with this job, just what sort of competition is out there. The

Nintendi Wii and Nintendo DS

Published on 2007-07-15 07:53:00

My partner and I bought a Nintendo Wii, and I bought a Nintendo DS. We had been having our eyes on a Nintendo Wii, but didn't have the guts to buy one. But today, when we went Nintendo DS shopping, we went and bought one. And ohhh my ohhhh my, what fun it is to play. We got the sports game, and it's an absolute crack up. I'm not much for bowling (had a bad experience in high school) but this bowling, I can definitely get used to. I think the hardest game to play is baseball, and I think I

The Story

Published on 2007-07-11 07:45:00

Watching Grey's Anatomy every Sunday night always gets me in a sad mood. It seems like every time I watch the show, I always end up crying, or at least teary eyed. I remember the season finale for season 2, with Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, I couldn't stop myself from crying. The song got to me, and it aired close to the time where I was going home for the holidays. Nonetheless, I cried and cried, and my partner looked at me and asked "why." Every time I heard the Snow Patrol song, I would

Jordi

I've included a different picture of our new kitten. We decided to name the new kitten Jordi..short for Jordin. If we were to ever have a girl, we would have named her Jordan. We thought our kitten was a girl, but I did a bit of investigating, and it appears that our new addition to the family is a boy. We are going to the vet on Friday to have a first check up and to get him micro-chipped. So I'm thinking that the vet will be able to tell us for sure. But I'm 99% sure it's a boy. Jordi i

First day of freedom

Published on 2007-06-18 04:02:00

Well, technically, Saturday was my first day of freedom. And might I say how stress free I've been since Friday night? My last day at work was sad, and exciting. Unfortunately on Thursday I woke up with a massive headache. Then Friday, I woke up with a pretty upset stomach. I think the reality of me quitting and being unemployed was sinking in. But Friday was good. I was able to have a "team" lunch to just have a chat and relax. Friday arvo, we had a small "afternoon tea" and I got a gre

New Kitten

Published on 2007-06-10 03:10:00

My partner and I got a new kitten. I've been wanting one for quite some time, and we just haven't been able to find "the one." But this one kind of fell into our lap. My partner's nephew's girlfriend rescued a kitten that some kick arse abandoned. Well, we don't know what really happened, but the girlfriend's mum found the kitten near their house. They first thought it was an opossum, and when they went to look for it, it scurried off. Then when the girlfriend's mum walked by the car, sh

I did it..I resigned

Published on 2007-06-02 01:45:00

Well, I did it...as my subject heading states, I resigned from my job. I did a lot of thinking since my last blog entry, and I had a long talk with my partner. I have been unhappy for quite some time, and we both discussed the fact that my health is important. I was going to wait until I got another job before I resigned, but I couldn't wait that long. Some may think that that wasn't a very bright idea...but I have a little bit of savings, and we'll be okay. I want to take a week off, afte

Unable to leave

Published on 2007-05-20 09:02:00

For the past 3 months or so, my job has had a lot of resignations. Resignations from people I didn't know that well, and resignations from people I will miss dearly. Some people left because they couldn't handle the pressures, other people left because they had better things to do..like travel (lucky buggers!!) But at the end of the day, there has been an influx of unhappy people I believe. However I can't speak for everyone who's left. I myself am very unhappy. Not unhappy because of the p

Immigration equality goes to Congress Lawmakers on Tuesday reintroduced a bill into Congress to give Americans with same-sex foreign partners equal rights under U.S. immigration law. The Uniting American Families Act, sponsored by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y., and Sen. Patrick Leahy (news, bio, voting record), D-Vt., will allow citizens and legal residents in same-sex relationships to sponsor their partners for immigration purposes.

It takes a little while to load up the page, so be patient. Seeing the video clip, made me want to be back home. Aww, I miss her and I miss everything about being back at home. I dunno if I'm going to make it til' Xmas, or next June. Being a roller girl sounds l

New tattoo

Published on 2007-04-20 20:17:00

I got another tattoo on Tuesday night. I've attached a picture, so hopefully it shows up :) I got it on the back of my neck. In the picture, you can see the little neck hairs I have. Now, I'm not a hairy person by ANY means, but I didn't realize that we actually do have hair on our necks, aside from our hairlines. Yeh, it hurt...pretty bad. This is the 5th tattoo I've gotten, and I think it was one of the most painful. Maybe it was because there were a lot of curvy lines, maybe it was bec

Australian leader: HIV-positive immigrants should not be allowed Prime Minister John Howard said Friday people with the AIDS virus should not be allowed to migrate to Australia, and the government was investigating whether it could tighten existing restrictions. The comments triggered anger among AIDS workers, who accused Howard of xenophobia and of blaming sufferers for their illness. Asked in a radio interview whether people with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, should be allowed

Sooo, it's been awhile

Published on 2007-04-09 20:41:00

Yes, it appears that it's been awhile since I've last blogged. I do hope everyone is doing well. Hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday. I myself have had a great few days off. Here in Australia, everyone has Good Friday off, and most people get Easter Monday off. And as it is Tuesday, and I'm still at home, I was able to get a "flexi" day today...so I'm thoroughly enjoying my 5 day weekend.I stareted to get a headache last night, and I think it's my mind telling me that it knows

Little Britain

Published on 2007-03-01 00:36:00

Last night, my partner and I went and saw Little Britain. For those who are unfamiliar with this British comedy go to this website.http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/littlebritain/The live show was absolutely hillarious. And it was a well needed night out for me. We didn't have the greatest seats, but there were big screends to watch the show. ::shaking head and laughing:: You definitely have to have a certain type of humor, but it was a crack up.If you haven't had a chance...try to watch an epis

Where has the time gone??

Published on 2007-02-24 18:40:00

It's already almost March ::looking at calendar:: I can hardly believe I have been back from the States for almost 2 months. The time just seems to fly by, and I can't seem to remember what I have done. March 1st, Autumn is here, and the weather will start to get cooler. I can tell the leaves are starting to change and fall, but maybe that's b/c we have absolutely no water here. Yes, by May 1st, Melbourne will most likely be on stage 4 water restrictions. It's getting really bad, this whole wate

Here is her pic....she's so beautiful! Mother and baby are doing well, considering the labor was 24 hours. Oh, and father seems to be doing well too ::snickers::

I did it, I joined a gym

Published on 2007-02-11 00:23:00

Well, as part of my mental health kick, I joined a gym. My partner and I had started walking since we came back from the States, but it wasn't doing anything for me. I felt like it was a waste of time, and I couldn't see any results. Maybe it was because we didn't really get our heart rates up, maybe it was because we didn't do it that often, maybe it was because I just didn't feel motivated.On my day off on Friday, I went to the local wave pool/gym and went to have a look around. I ended up

Govt to override ACT Gay Marriage Bill

Concerns that gay partners under 18 could be "married" under an ACT move to legalise same-sex unions is one reason the plan was rejected by the federal government.Federal Attorney-General Philip Ruddock has announced that the Commonwealth will override the ACT government bill for a second time.The federal government vetoed the territory government's efforts to legalise same-sex unions last June, worried it would undermine the institution of marriage.The ACT government then made several changes t

Considering that I was pretty much thrown in the deep end of it all, I think I've done quite well. All of those nights lying awake, stressing about my job, have they paid off?? I can't say yes with confidence ::smirks::I am happy to have made it one year though. ::patting oneself on the back::

Tips on selling oneself for a job

Published on 2007-01-29 19:00:00

I know there are a number of people out there who have either aggressively hunted for a job, or are in the process. Me, for the moment, I'm just slightly looking for some jobs. I've been browsing the newspapers, the websites, and have been having my eyes and ears open for any leads. But I know before I even attempt to apply for a job, I need to have a spectacular resume, and a cover letter.I struggle with selling myself. I don't know if it's a confidence thing, or an expression thing. But I
