Vacation

The advantage of having been on sick leave for part of the year last and this year, is that I have 5 weeks of vacation to take before the end of 2011.
One week off every month till the end of the year...not complaining too much :P

Have a nice week!

Stolen

I am so angry.

Yesterday at work I found a genius of an idea and I shared it with my boss.
My boss was so proud, she shared it with her boss.
Her boss doesnt like me very much,
Today I get to work, open my email and HER boss wrote an email to the whole company talking about my idea as if it was her that had it.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Lunch

Today at lunch I went home to eat.
It's the first time I ever done this and I loved it.
Either I lived to far or didnt have enough time.
Now I live 5 minutes away and have an hour to eat.
It really allowed me to relax and split my day in half.
And you do you go home for lunch?
If you had the chance, would you?

Transfer

If you could get a transfer from work anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Here are the choices I have:



I would love to go to Australia, Spain or Thailand.

Back at work

I did it!

Today was my first half day back at work.

Yesterday I felt like hell because of the stress and anticipation, but I will be ok for next week.

So far so good, lets just hope it will continue :)

3 months later

Hi everyone!

Yes, I am still alive :)

Here's a little bit of what has been going on in these past months.

I still am in therapy, it is a very long process, but I do see a little improvement.
I have not returned to work yet and I sure miss it.
I bought a new car and almost ended up dating the sales guy.
My godson turned one a few days ago.
Doctors orders, I now go to the gym with a trainer 3 times a week.
I have started apartment hunting as I decided to move for July first.

That's about it, nothing big. I keep on reading your blogs, I know I don't comment much, but I am here. I just don't feel the urge to write in English at the moment, but I felt like I owed you guys a little update.

Thanks to all of you that have written to me in the mail or by email, it means the world to me to know that you are there.

I love ya all! (mouah)

I quit

Today I Handed out my resignation letter at work.

I have been at the same job for over 5 years, and I believe it was more than time for me to move on. It was a very big company with only dollar signs instead of the heart. I loved the team I work with, but the company is crap, no recognition for nothing, give give give and nothing back in return. I just couldn't do it anymore, it is one of the reason why my anxieties are so intense. I had to think about myself and a job offer fell from the sky and I could not refuse it.

My last day will be July 16th.

I am confident that my decision was the best thing I could do for myself, I love the new place and the people already. I cant wait to get started and face the new challenges ahead.

Update

Hi everyone,

I am back from my craziness.
Here is what has been going on (here’s a long post)

-Me and D decided that it would be best for both of us if I moved out, so I went apartment hunting, for a great little place that I love in a part of town that I adore. My dad and my sister took a day off and helped me to cleaned the place and carry all the boxes I had. On Sunday D and one of my friends moved all my furniture (including a new couch, new shelves, new coffee tables) The same night my dad and my mom came back to help me with the finish some little thing. I still have to buy a few things as my walls are empty, but it starting to look like home J

-The triplets (my godson and sisters) are doing great getting fatter everyday. The parents had a hard time seeing them get their firsts vaccines.

-Work has been completely insane and it doesn’t look like anything is going to calm down. I love it; it makes the days go by so much faster.

-My best friend came over for a surprise visit and she met a guy in her part of the world (I am very happy for her) I am sad that she finally decided not to move back to Montreal anymore, but thanks to technology we still speak or chat almost everyday.

-I am in love with my star crush Jaroslav Halak, and he is kicking ass in the playoffs for the Stanley cup J

-I saw the heart doctor again and I have more tests to do at the beginning of June. He said not to worry, but to still hold off going to gym until he gets the results of the tests.

-I got all the result form all the test I did for the weeks I was sick after I came back from vacation and all is ok, but I am still not feeling 100%. My family doctor says it is all related to anxieties (and God knows I am anxious like crazy)

- As soon as I finish paying off all the little expenses my move cost me, I think I will get another tattoo. I have been thinking about it for years and I don’t understand why I haven’t gotten it.

-For my summer vacation this year I don’t have anything planned, but I would love to go to Nashville Tennessee. It was supposed to be my first trip ever a few years ago and I didn’t go. So why not this summer?

-I had over 400 posts to catch up on Google reader. I went through them last night and went to bed way too late (writing for work so I don’t fall asleep)

This week is still full of things do to, stuff to buy and stuff to hang, but this weekend I do plan to finally relax (I hope)

How are you doing?

What's going on?

Here is a melting pot of the last week or so.

-I am still sick from our trip. I did go see the doctor and I am on a special diet to have a series of test done. So keeping positive.

-My god son is now out of the hospital and home. :) I will not go see him right away because I don't know yet if I am contagious and he is so tiny that I don't want to give him or his 2 sisters what ever I have.

-Work is absolutely crazy because of the government year end and our big wins across Canada.

-This weekend I am hosting another girls night of clothes exchange.

-I put together the package for my Dozen of eggs giveaway, so dont forget to participate.

-I am picture hunting for the new color of my blog for the month of April

-My best friend is moving back to town in July, she misses us too much.

-I got my Master Card cloned (but they stopped it in time)

-Me and D have taken the bed frame apart (I was so scared of it falling apart)

-This weekend I will have a 3 day weekend and it will be over 20C degrees (YAY)

And it is Easter Sunday! Woot Woot! Chocolate heaven!!!!!

Vacations

Today I got the greatest news ever at work.
My vacation time got upgraded to 4 weeks this year!!!
I am sooo happy, 4 weeks of freedom!!!

You cant see me but I'm doing the happy dance :)

Dream job

When people talk about their work we always hear about the same things.

They love their job or they hate their jobs.
They make good money so they'll keep it.
They are underpaid but keep it for the people.

Some go to school for years to get a carreer that they might hate once they get in the profession itself.
Some dont have any education and get lucky.
Some are contente with what they have.
Some just complain all the time.

The people that say they love their jobs, I can understand it might be true, but is it their dream job?

Have you ever taken the time to analyse what you really love, how much money you'd really like to make (realistically), what is the perfect environment, who are the greatest coworkers, who is the perfect boss? Would you be able to live with this dream job so life wouldnt turn into a nightmare?

I've been doing alot of thinking and I still think I have more to do.
I realize that things I really like to ,that I've already done in the past without getting paid, I could maybe do and make myself a career out of it.

Can I find my dream job?
