Job...

I want to be paid what I'm worth...

I want a job where "infection control" is a topic where people say, "Does that mean I can't bring my cat to work?" or "What IS that?"

Where the only way you can hurt your back is by falling off your office chair...or doing something else silly....

Where "Administering Medication" means self administering panadol for your own headache...

Where being on-call simply means being open to the supervisor asking you to help with something... and then going back to your own desk...

Where "Meal assisting" means heating up a colleague's lunch after you take yours out of the microwave...

Where getting sore feet is because you were stupid enough to wear ridiculous heels to work...not because you were run off your feet in comfy shoes...

Where coming home feeling dirty simply means you accidentally spilled something on your clothes, or got squirted with the printer ink... not that you have been dealing with all kinds of bodily fluids and regurgitated food.... and everything else...

Where "Changing nappies[diapers]" means going home to your own kids...

Ok, despite all these points...I have no idea where I want to be! I want to write... edit... use my brain more than my arms and feet... I enjoy my job while I'm in it, but there is something MORE out there for me... I just haven't yet found it!

Zia Carla

Buongiorno la mia bella zia Carla!!!!!

Oggi felice? Ummm..... Italiano mi parla non bene... non lo so per scrivo...am I making a fool of myself? hehe! I think I understand more when I'm hearing it!

Oh well! Ti amo bella zia! :)
Ciao

(P.S. See ya Sundy! :p)

Happy Funeral

Wow! I had a great day! All because somebody died... that may sound bad, but it shouldn't.
This woman was an amazing woman! Her funeral was a celebration of her life. There was sadness, but it was a beautiful service. No superficiality. Just a beautiful reflection on a special woman's life...

...and afterwards during the afternoon tea...everybody was happy! We were all happily chatting away. People continually commented on how happy everybody was, and how it felt like a party...except the guest of honour wasn't there in person. But she was definitely there in spirit!

I've never been to such a joyful funeral before!

Pre-Spring Cleaning

Haha... they say we're having an "early spring"... and somehow I managed to throw out 5+ bags of rubbish from my room! Woohoo!!!!! Early Spring Cleaning! I still have a long way to go, but I can see the FLOOR again! hehe! :p

Been a very busy day...washing clothes, cleaning out parts of my room, dishes.... a good, productive day!

I am looking forward to seeing MORE free carpet in my room! :p I'm getting there slowly! :) :)

This seems to be a "season of spring cleaning". Tumbleweeds, excess 'stuff', rubbish...servicing car... ;)

Funeral

I'm going to a funeral tomorrow... somebody I've never met, but the mother-in-law of one of my spiritual mums... so it will be an interesting day. I'm going with another of my mums.
They knew she was nearing her last breaths...they were told "any time, even up to a few days", so it wasn't a shock. But it's still sad. At least we know where she was heading ;)

Just Being

I haven't written for a while...but I have definitely been writing! Remembering the old friend, Writer's Cramp... but I love it.

The last 2 days I have "just been". Yesterday I had my car in for a major service, and walked the 45mins home (after looking in the shopping centre!) It was a great walk...but I wouldn't want to do it every day! The difference with walking home and the gym: one you can stop, the other you must continue to the end! haha! And at the end is the reward of happy endorphines! :p

So, I've been enjoying the simpleness of being. No work. No stress. No unwanted noises. And being open to God showing me many visions of the past that have finally come to pass :)

Moses and Desert Wandering

Some days I feel like I'm in the desert... God has encouraged me that the promised land EXISTS, but I am yet to see it.

In this desert I have learned a lot...I have reaped many promises, but there is still ONE that I am yet to see... and I often wonder if I'm walking around in circles, taking the long journey to something that is so near... but God wants me to take the long journey to teach me patience & trust... and grow me... the desert is all about growing...

At least I know that if there is a desert...there MUST be a promised land :)
