Hello friends Romans Country menHello also to my haters Who even though have a huge problem with meStill take the time to read and comment And generally put a lot of time and effort in to trying to upset me Funny that....
Anyway You might have noticed That I didn't post yesterdayUnusual for meBut I just had to take 24 hours away from blogger After the nastiness that ensued on ThursdayI swear it makes no sense PeopleUsually anonymous writers Have a go at meAnd when I defend myself I'm accused of not being able to deal with constructive criticism I just can't win No matter what I do And I know, I knowI shouldn't feed the trollsI just couldn't help myself though My defenses go straight upAnd it's hard not to reactI know I'm making light of it here nowBut I really felt attacked Not just me But my life My actions My lack of actionMy family I really thought hard about how much I am putting out thereAnd was almost at the point where I wanted to stop writing But As with a lot of things Time passesAnd things settle downThey always doFor every negative commenter There are 100 positive ones Just like the emails I got this morningThey override any bit of nastiness
In other businessI have some really exciting news to share with you I was in my local shop the other dayI always read the notice board thereAds Jobs Things for sale When something caught my eyeA charity called St. Vincent de Paul had some jobs available I read through the notice A part time position18 -24 hours per weekWorking in their assisted living accommodationIt's like a nursing home Except the residents are quite wellAnd can mange mostly on their own with a little help from staffThe duties involve companionship of the residents Light house workAnd catering dutiesThe minute I read it through I got excited It's exactly what I want Part time No pressure No stressI took a photo copy of the noticeAnd headed home
The minute I got homeI went to a quiet roomAnd phoned the numberI got through to a very pleasant lady Who told me all about the jobThe closing date for application is next Wednesday So she said I could pop in today to get an application formWhich I did this morning The house itself is lovely and calmWith classical music playingAnd a lovely serene feeling I spoke to one of the girls working there Collected my applicationAnd went on my way
I looked over the application just nowIt's very straight forward And I think with some helpI can make a good case for myself I have a variety of work experience From dance teacher to bank worker I also have experience working with the elderly As I helped a lot with my grandad when he was aliveI also help my elderly neighbour I walk her dog Do shopping and errands for herAnd help her with day to day things during the week So I'm hoping I have a good shot at this job I just feel excited when I think about itTo be part of the working world To have an occupationAnd one that really helps peopleThe work is evenings So it wouldn't effect my daily routine with Honey and Lea It seems like it would fit so well in to my life God I hope I'm not getting my hopes up too much
My sister is great She's helping me sell myself And really put my best foot forward She says that I can say I am a free lance writer at the momentAnd I guess I can say that As I have been published a few times recently Play to your strengths and all that It's also motivation to stay well and healthy God knows I won't be able to hold down a job if I am underweight and ill
So you guys I'm really going to go for it And give it my best shot I just have a feeling that this is meant for me You know?Anyway Wish me luck And as ever I will keep you posted.....
