I did click publish after writing that last post, it's mean to be out there.

Now 10 seconds later I know I need to start a new post and get on with life.

My job is going strong, am working with a great group of people - there has been the odd one who from the beginning set of niggling thoughts but I am not the only one who has noticed. One lady whom I did feel a great connection with won't be there much longer, she was offered a job in her chosen profession and will be moving on with that, I certainly hope that she will remain in my life.

Am working long hours, 10 and 11 hour days, six days a week for now, we are setting up the store in readiness to open in a week's time. The last couple of days have been spent unpacking loads of crockery, am quite sick of plain white crockery, was a nice change yesterday when I found some with a little design detail.

Last night was my farewell dinner from my old job, I recieved a very pretty nail care kit, very apt because the job was so hard on my nails - new one is the same and some knitting needles. One of the staff members hugged me several times, telling me she misses me and wants me to come back. That was nice. I also got to meet 2 of the new girls that have started since I left, I made the quip that it wasn't the first time that I was replaced by 2 people when I left a job. When I left my first real job, where I was working 2 positions and getting paid for the lesser one I was replaced with 2 people who both complained that they were getting too much work.

Once the store opens will find out my regular roster, will be nice knowing what I work each week and getting the same pay packet will make planning so much easier. Will be at a regular 40 hour week, working 5 days instead of the unreliable rostering from my last job, where I had anything from 12 to 30 hours per week. Mostly at the whim of the manager, who used the roster system to show she had control - she would add or take away shifts at the drop of a hat without proper notification.

Now I am off to enjoy my day off, take care.
