1:24p - Teaching rounds making me anxious....
What a fun week... Ive been working in the office this week filling in fionas job since she left til they find someone else.. Its kinda good and bad.. good cos i love it.. and bad cos i cant stay there.. Ive decided that im not looking forward to the animal killing part of my job. not that i have killed or will kill but i have to be round them when its done.. and im axious about it.. Theres ups and downs to my job.. its huge hours.. sometimes 730am in the city (5:30 wake up time) til 6:30-7 finish time (get home 8pm) with 30 mins break all day.. add the that bball 5 nights a week sunday through to thursday nights.. where i dont get home til past 11pm.. and then add supposed to be studying.. and well life would be sooo much easier if i found a job where i finished at 4pm... and was home by 4:30... let alone better pay.. I have come to realise that i am the lowest paid person in the department.. minus the students.. the up side is the over time can be used to take days off. which will be needed to write reports or in general have a holiday since i have none..
The new job being advertised.. is set hours 9 to 5.. $6,000 more a year... and in general a fun job.. no animals involved... but i cant go for it...
So the week was going great til i tried to organise my teaching rounds for next year.. In this current job my boss is greatly annoyed at me doing my degree.. and more so that i have to do teaching rounds, even though i have holidays owing to me.. sooo in trying to keep her happy i have a small window of 8 weeks end of may til july to fit in 5 weeks of teaching.. however i just found out that during that 8 weeks only 1 fits into the weeks available to do rounds?? or atleast thats how i read it.. friday work day finished before i could get a reply back from the placement officer so i dont know if im completely stuffed... If its correct then i have 2 options.. try and hit up my boss for time off during prac time.. which is a huge ask.. tho i think it can be done ... some weeks we only have computer pracs.. so the only prep is turning them on.. carol doesnt need me to do that.. so yeah i will have to approach my boss to ask for those weeks off.. if she refuses.. i can talk to the person above her.. but in general i dont think ill get understanding.. so if she says no then im left with no choice but to organise the latest date for my teaching rounds.. and quite my job a month before.. leaving me un paid for the 5 weeks.. til i can search for a new job.. and again ill be faced with the same prospect the following year with my 2nd teaching round.. One option is to get a lab tech position in a school.. a friend just got one and they are allowing her to do her teaching rounds at the school.. let alone the great holidays ie more time to study... the pay will be very very bad tho...
So yeah i guess im hoping the boss is nice and helps me out.. but i dont know til i ask.. and i cant ask til i know for sure.. so anxiety is me til then.. I feel sick with it..
As for other news.. not that im doing much these days without study or bball.. Ive been emailing a boy called rob.. he seems nice.. will see how it goes.. Flickers healthy and back out with his bf tonto.. again im stitting on here when i should be down there on this beautiful day riding him... but you get that... im lazy haha.. Tonight im off to the pub.. tom im exercising with ratika maybe haha and hopefully tom night im seeing a movie..
I usually say hi to everyone here haha but since no one reads blurties anymore.. theres nothing to say.....
