I’m good!
I’ve had this post sitting on my computer for the last few days. I haven’t posted recently due to a spate of early starts at work which have required me to go to bed at around 8pm at night and get up at 4am then go to work and start at either 6am or 7.15am, since the call centre is now getting busier - i’m doing close to 60 calls a day which is double what I was doing 4 weeks ago, I just don’t have the time to blog from work at the moment.
I’ve been doing the walking thing with friends from work over the last couple of weeks, parking at a car park bay at the causeway, and then walking that 20 minutes into work, and walking 20 minutes from work. I think it’s been pretty cool and good to get back into the regular exercise again. The lack of exercise being entirely my fault due to bad planning when the cat got sick, finishing late and not wanting to walk the distance home at night in Cannington, and just general blah. So I’ve done a couple of long 5km walks in the mean time. I’ve lost a little weight this week, but not enough, so I need to boost the walking up again so I don’t lose momentum.
At work I won an first place in “Character” which was the quality call listening. Apparently I won by less than a point which is good, because the person who came second is an advisor for the call centre - and she totally rocks, so to have come first I guess was more of a priviledge. I have been given $60 in myer vouchers to spend, and a nice little certificate. One of my team mates commented getting firsts in stuff like that gets you noticed by the bigger people. We shall see! Right now I enjoy being a peon.
I have alot of certificate 3 stuff to do, so I am going to be taking it home on the weekend and working on it, like homework! Then I can get that payrise I am owed.
I wish some friends woud love themselves more, and not have the self esteem issues that hold them back from achieving, or being the better person I know they can be. Fear is what holds some of my friends back from things like, losing weight, not feeling inferior, not being bitchy when they are sad/upset. After some chats this week with various friends, I have come to appreciate that despite their foibles, they are still wonderful people and I am proud to call myself their friend and be their friend. Doesn’t always work out that way, but for the most part, it does.
I went looking for MP3 players today. I still refuse to look at Ipods - what a waste of space for that money. I don’t have that many mp3’s that could fill 1 gig, let alone 15; 30 or 40 gig IPods.
