argh..

How can i describe how frustrated i feel with my job at the moment!? :)

It's all i can do to just turn up to work every day. How does this happen? Is it me? Or am i just being beaten down by the everything that i hear from other people?

I am more and more amazed each day at the injustices that i see here.. but you get that, i guess.

Anyway, i'm looking at doing a Professional Writing and Editing course.. by correspondence. Hopefully that will be something that i can focus on while work is going so shithouse.. I would really like to be a film critic.. that's where i'd be happy to end up.. Work from home, spend time with the family... Go to movie premieres.. :) Groovy!

I might even start up a site myself with my review online.. :) i'd thought about doing it a while ago, but just never got around to doing it!

Sometimes it's not about the money.. it's advice i hand out all the time, but i'm staying in this job just for the money at the moment.. that's the only reason that i can see right now...

Sunday Roast...

Rach and I have decided to start a tradition of having a Sunday Roast. :) I have to say, I think it's a great idea..

We are inviting people around every few weeks to, so that we have a chance to catch up with everyone - as you may or may not be able to appreciate, going anywhere with a small child, and no car, is not an easy task.

Mike and Kylie were the first people we invited to lunch, which was fantastic. Mike was more than happy to give me a hand with setting up some more of my train layout. We ended up re-working a whole lot of it, and pulled up pretty much everything except for the outer loop! :) It's going to be a hell of a lot better now, seeing as i can actually store a bunch of carriages together, instead of just 2 carriages per siding! :)

Now I just have to go and get some insulated fish plates, a few hobby boxes, and switches so that we can power everything from each of the two controllers! :)

I also have to go and get some more points, cause I really want to put a long long siding on the other side of the layout! :) Enough about the trains hey.. :P

Lunch was a roaring success, with Mike and I polishing off our (large!) plates of roast chicken and vegies, and then starting on the 'extras' plate, and polishing that off too! :) Also disapearing were 2 bottles of wine.. :)

Anyway, next one is going to be on Mothers day, and with Rach's mum working all day, and me not talking to mine, it's going to be a bit of fun... We have invited a couple of friends who's parents are interstate/overseas.. :)

Until next time...

Trains...

Took the little guy and gorgeous wife down to the ARHS museum down in Williamstown. For anyone who doesnt know what that is, it's the Australian Railways Historical Society (Victorian Branch). They have pretty much managed to get 1 of every locomotive that has run and been retired from victorian service. They also have a few carriages down there too! :)

Anyway, Geoff and John were heading down there, and asked if we would like to come. We were only too happy to travel down there, although the day was nice and cold! :)

It was pretty fantastic, I'd been down there about 2 months ago, and before that, when I was in primary school! We took our digital camera down this time, and managed to get a whole bunch of great photos. They should be up on the site some time reasonably soon too! :)

I am currently watching Brisbane thrash my beloved Hawks.. Oh well, there is always next year hey!? :P

frustration sets in...

How do you keep going to work every day, when you know that you dont want to?

I'm working on a new project at the moment, but it's turing out to be just like every other project i've worked on here - long and arduous! Maybe i make it long and arduous? Maybe i just get stuck with the crap jobs that run for years and years.

The HR manager left today too.. and I heard that my old Project Manager is leaving to go and sail around the world! How crazy is that? Now that is my idea of moving on from a job.. :)

I would give anything to leave work and look after my little son (and wife!), but unfortunately i dont think i'm going to get paid to stay at home...

Maybe i should go on the dole? I've paid taxes for 10 years now, i think that i'm owed something! ;) hahahhahaa..

Back to the daily grind...

After a 4 day weekend, we are back to the 'same old same old' again.. :/

Lets run through the weekend shall we?

Friday: Didnt to terribly much in the way of anything really? Watched the good friday appeal all day, except to have a nap in the afternoon. Got to love the afternoon nap.. :)

Saturday: Went to a party called Magnitude that night, Rach and I went into the city and wandered around crown casino for a while, but i couldnt decide what i wanted to eat! Ended up seeing the footy on the _BIG_ screens, which was good - because both sat night games were nice and close! :)

I think we both missed the little guy (who was staying with nan-nan) on Saturday night, but it was good to have time to us, just the two of us. We have hardly had any time to spend together by ourselves since we were married, really..

Sunday: BBQ Lunch at nanna's place. This was good, we got cuddles from the little man, who pretty much didnt notice we werent there! :( But that's good, because he wont be worried if we need to have nan-nan or someone else look after him.. :) Watched the Hawks get hammered by more than 10 goals, which was just .. SUPER!

Monday: Another relaxing day, doing not a lot, and thinking about what i had to do at work this week! :/... ergh... Not helped by the fact that i couldnt sleep last night either.. :(
