so i found out where melton mowbray is on the map yesterday..... hmmmnnn... i dont think i will be applying for that job!
i have found out at work that one of our remote sales people is off on maternity in a few months. i was talking to her yesterday about some work experience i have planned with her and i didnt realise how close to her date she was. anyway she suggested that i apply for her position. i dont think that is the answer i need though. i need the experience in my current company and all experiences are good but i honestly dont think staying with my company is really the answer. it was good of her to suggest it and she was really helpful and she said she would help me if i were to apply but i just dont know if its right for me. in fact i know its not right for me.
i found a job working for a competitor as a category manager this morning but it would be like going up in my career but going down in business. in our industry we are 1st and they are 3rd! i might enquire further though........they are based in kingston upon thames which is what london i guess? my geography is crap! and there is another job that appeals but its based in colchester. its not exactly what i am looking for but its a company i have worked with before and i really like them... oh! i dont know!!!!!!!
jen and me went straight to the pub after work last night. actually we decided to skive off and finish at 4! so as you can imagine me and jen sat outside in the sun and a few bottles of wine later we had the answers to everything!!!!! to say we got a little bit trashed is putting it mildly. i have a little bit of a hangover this morning, but the hilariousness was worth it. we only stayed out til about 830pm cos neil was coming round to see jen. but we did have a few sneaky vodkas before he arrived woo hoo! then i had to entertain myself for the rest of the evening which was ok, i was just my usual div-like self!
the girls and their men are off out tonight. some double date thing. ive been invited (and they are going somewhere i really like too) but i have declined the offer, surprisingly. as i have mentioned in the past playing gooseberry is not my favourite hobby. im thinking tonight its me, music, book and drink.
and yes i have replaced food with drink. at least i wont make a mess.... unless im trashed in which case its ok. sweets are still my main food group. but i have promised the girls i would cook tomorrow, im thinking vodka jelly!
i have alot of "me time" coming up cos jen is in brussels for work stuff and k is working away alot. its kinda nice in a way cos it means i have the house to myself. it can get a bit crowded all the time with neil and simon coming over or lou or sasha popping in..... i have suggested we fit a revolving door. i enjoy my own company, but i just get myself into all sorts of mischief if im not careful!
but i am off to the doctors on monday because ive had the most horrendous cough for 3 weeks now and my chest is in agony. i got a little bit upset about it yesterday cos its keeping me awake at night now and im just sooo tired. jen and me had a little chat about it and she said "enough is enough, time for the doctors!"
i hope everyone is enjoying the sunny sunshine (but make sure you all whack on some factor, anything less than factor 8 is pointless!)

Glad you liked the joke hun!! hope you figure out a job, I wouldn't worry about stepping down in terms of 1st to 3rd in the industry, in banking I worked for the 2nd largest bank, and the 1st were notoriously shit employers, besides they can only go upwards, and they may love your experience so much they will pay you some extra moolah....whcih means more chewits!!!
