Training and colds

Have just spent the last 3 days training on the new meditech system. Whilst it was okay, I ended up being shown nothing on the ED system - what good is that. I am going to need another stint of training for that and I am working on the day that it goes live which is a monday and more to boot, a public holiday, 2 of the worst thing in ED = day from hell!!

Came home each day and had to do the leaflet rounds and of course make tea. Short straw somes to mind. Did pop to spotlight to buy some bits and pieces for upcoming birthdays though.

Thursday saw Pam from the junk mail co come round to do some training at home, all seems pretty straightforward as long as there are not heaps of problems. She seemed to love the house and the chooks etc, saying that she wanted to set her own veggie garden up, Go girl. She is American and seems really quite nice.

The kids all have colds, poor oscar has a nose like a tap and resembles rudolph. William is getting a bit better and Elliot hasnt been out of the house all week so its no wonder he is ill. He had a ruby match in the evening though, they won but he didn't score a try so he must have been ill.

Cleared out the tomatoes in the pool area, it looks bare but much tidier.

Lee came up with the idea to section off the karma corner with a trellis and I think it will look really cosy. He has made a trellis for the shed so hopefully that will keep the passionfruit happy and we may see some fruit!

Had a couple too many glasses of wine in the evening and oh forgot the big one - I knitted a dishcloth, WOWWWWW, I posted it on facebook and I people seem to think I have gone mad. LOL. i really enjoyed it and then started on a knitted beermat for liz but I ran out of wool, boo hoo!!

Where has the time gone

I am totally crap, where has the time gone, why can't I do anything that I plan to and stick to it!!!!!

Well let me see, it's a new year and my great plans had been to make all my own presents, do yoga more seriously and carry on with all my great garden plans, hmmmmm. The yoga mat has had about 3 workouts, my veggies are wilting under the blostering aussie sun and have managed to make a couple of plastercast mould ornaments, not great is it!! I have another birthday coming up in a week or so - got great plans in my head but can't seem to get them any further.
Hey ho

I have just taken on another job to add to my collection so that makes 3, am I a mug or what, but considering we earn less than we did 7 years ago, I don't think I have much option. It is an area rep/supervisor for the junk mail company (wow). Basically I have to recruit new walkers and ckeck that they have made their deliveries by going round all the areas (all 8 million of them) and checking houses per area with a fancy gps type tool (very hi-tec). I start in a couple of weeks and have training this week and next.

Talking of training, we have 3 days of training for the new hospital computer system so I had better go and get ready.

I will be more positive, proactive and just get on with it instead of whinging - that will be me this year - watch this space...........LOL
