.....45.....







So today I'm 45.


I thought this was going to be an awful birthday, one I'd want to forget. But just in the nick of time, hope has appeared. I won't know for sure until around 28th June, but I may have a permanent position as an Academic Support Officer at a School at the Uni where I am currently working.

Apparently the position had been advertised a couple of months ago and they didn't find anyone suitable. I just happened to send my resume to them last Monday, asking if they had any work, and they thought I might be suitable for the role.

I had a casual interview with the Dean of the School and his P/A and was asked to whip up a formal application letter so the other two members of the selection panel could have a look. Unfortunately they are both on leave until end of June so I won't know if the position is definitely mine until then.

But, 90% sure it's going ahead. Not going to be celebrating until it's confirmed but at least I'm sleeping again.

So...it's my birthday! Mum gave me a Myer/Kmart/Target gift voucher and so did the kids so I've going to be buying myself something nice. Might wait until I've lost 10kg though and have it as a reward to buy a new piece of clothing.

Leaving work early today to enjoy my free birthday movie ticket from Hoyts. I'm seeing The A-Team and eating ice-cream and Red Rock Deli Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar Chips (Oh-My-God).

So there.

Hey Frankie

I seem to be on the late train with blogs and FB, but better late than never.

I'm glad you're birtday worked out and that you enjoyed it. How was A-Team? Hubby is hanging out to watch it with his best mate, but he's an A-Team fan from way back. He's read all the books too...lol...

Anyway...I have my fingers crossed for you that you get the job! I'm glad to hear you're at least sleeping. Not sleeping really sucks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHICKADEE! ;)

P.S. Sorry about the lame birthday wishes on FB. I was tired and really couldn't be bothered much with FB last night. Feeble attempt, I know. :)

Don't be silly Kerry, I loved your birthday wishes x

A-Team was REALLY good. Very funny and lots of HAWTNESS! he he

I am remaining cautiously optimistic about the job. It's just all the waiting around..arghh..seriously it's so stressful.

But there will be BIG celebrations if I get it!
