As you readers can see, I went on a 9 week holiday and blogged twice......your probably thinking I had nothing to say.......WRONG!! I've got plenty to say, but I didn't feel like spending my precious holiday time writing about it!! (Not to mention that having access to WiFi was a complete nightmare!!)

So, we made it home but not without a few hick-ups. A lost relationship between me and my sons girlfriend was the most noticeable. I'm pretty sure I've burnt that bridge to the ground!! (Update: as of December we have apologised to each other and we are spending Christmas at her Nan's house for which I'm happy about) 

Now that I'm home and relieved to be sleeping in my own bed, I'm finding it hard to sleep. I've been going to bed at 8pm since returning and I'm waking up between 2am & 3am. 

It's not really bothersome, except I got called back to work for my first shift and was overtired. (Not good)

Me being overtired, made for a very quiet Dessie. Of course that didn't stop the gossiping. 

I happened to be given a special task by my superior, and was only following orders, but of course this riled a few peoples feathers and that ignited the Chinese whispers. 
 
I'm wondering if these people just have nothing better to do or need to find more work that occupies their free time. 

I'm going to have to see how this pans out, because I've decided not let these busybodies attack my ego and wear my optimism down!! 

On the subject of optimism and throughout the day, I was asked several times why I didn't apply for the advertised contracted positions. I explained that I wasn't comfortable with the contract conditions and that they didn't suit my needs. 

It's amazing how some people can't grasp this. I'm am desperate for a full time job but I'm a FIRM believer that if it's meant to be, it will happen. 

I'm going to find the right job, at the right time, that's just right for me, PERIOD.
