Like, totally awesome dude!
Ok, so the title was a little over the top but wow, WHAT. A. WEEKEND! Talk about blowing the cobwebs away so to speak. It was a 3 day weekend with nothing planned which usually means that I waste it, hit back to work on Tuesday and regret not making the most of it. Well, not this time!
Firstly I should tell you about the real crappy news I got on Friday…
Remember I had my 3 months of leave agreed to? Well, apparently it doesn’t come without some heavy duty strings attached to it. Basically, it comes down to my job or my travels. If I leave for those 3 months they can’t guarantee I’ll have my job at the end of it. They can guarantee a job within the department just not the same position. That doesn’t sound too bad you think? But then they tell me in the same sentence that we are under departmental review i.e. they’re looking to cut some staff. So; after sitting in stunned silence in the office I have pretty much told them they can shove it. I am going whether they like it or not and if they don’t value me enough to fight for me then I don’t value them enough to stay. Basically, I am going whether they want me to or not. I will NOT allow them to threaten me to stay. I will go, NOT CARE about the possibility of losing my job and enjoy my freedom more than ever. It just made me feel so sad though. That one minute they could all be genuinely happy for me and then to taint it/try and take it away from me. Well, management, I have two words to say to you ‘NOT HAPPENING!’.
As for the weekend…I certainly wasn’t sad at the end of it. As I said, it was a weekend to top many others but, well, there just so much to say it’s worthy of at least 2 posts so you’ll have to wait for the next installment but it’s well worth waiting for, trust me!
Until next time…

Yes! oops, lol! I need some of your courage. I cant believe you did that. Weee! How exciting and thrilling, hopefully you’re not already regretting it? :wink wink:
Lilu – I’ll probably regret that bravery at some point but I figure if I care about my job too much it will ruin my holiday for worrying and I’m determined that’s not going to happen!
Larissa – You can have my courage once I’m finished with it hun. Might need it a little bit longer i.e. when I’m trekking up that volcano in Bali but I’ll be sure to hand it back lol.
GO for it. I’m sure it will be worth it
Maxie – It better be worth it with what I’m putting on the line lol x
