NSW gave up a home game to get you Victorians interested.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Switzerland, and Victoria, is a very nice neutral place to be in right now.

 

[battymum]

That was pathetic!

 

[PrincessInOz]

On that note, I bid you all good night from what could be construed as a cold and chilly Melbourne night.

 

[BecBennett]

It's a pretty wintery day here at the moment, all over cast and gloomy. It mustn't be that cold though, as there's still no condensation when I breathe

 

[battymum]

Downright freezing here!

I just had to drop my car in to be fixed and walk home - my ears are hurting they are so cold!

 

[australiankaren]

yep...2 jumpers, a heater and still shivering
will rain soon, just in time for me to catch the train...

I have been in my current job for sixteen years - started when my DD was 6mths old - 3days per week receptionist. I have since moved on to payroll and accounts, still 3 days per week.

The company is great, dont bat an eyelid when I turn up at 9:30, when my kids were in primary school I told them I cant drop them before 8:30 so I will get there when I get there, at one point I found another job closer to home and they basically said "name your price"- I am paid well for what I do - (although not enough to afford annual OS trips )

Its not that I am that great, but I am reliable and I think they are just lazy about having to find a replacement

I actually resigned when my twins were born and they rang me twelve months later to do 6 weeks relief. My twins will be fifteen in October!

But,......I am bored - its a small company so career options are nil - I have hit the ceiling -

I am 43 - is this it until retirement? I really would be foolish to go elsewhere in this climate and even though my kids are now teenagers, I like still working only 3days.


Let the therapy begin........(first world problems, I know...)

heres my 2 cents..or is it 0.01999997...
anyway
since your only working 3 days, enroll in a course you are interested in @ TAFE.....they have some awesome things...find your passion, then maybe a new career will grow from that.. that's what I did....was an engineer..then stay home mum, then tafe library studies, then here.....always loved books etc, so my passion became my career..

tafe 's new semester enrollments starts soon..so jump on line and start looking
