Sooo, it's been awhile

Yes, it appears that it's been awhile since I've last blogged. I do hope everyone is doing well. Hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday. I myself have had a great few days off. Here in Australia, everyone has Good Friday off, and most people get Easter Monday off. And as it is Tuesday, and I'm still at home, I was able to get a "flexi" day today...so I'm thoroughly enjoying my 5 day weekend.

I stareted to get a headache last night, and I think it's my mind telling me that it knows it has to go back to work tomorrow. And ohhh the work that I will have to come back to. ::raises hands up in the air:: I guess that is my own punishment for taking an extra day off, from a long weekend.

A part of me is stressing, because a colleague of mine (bless his soul) put in his resignation, and his last day is in Friday. Now, what is going to happen to his caseload, no one knows. No one has told us anything, and frankly, I don't think anyone knows what is going to happen. We most likely won't find out, until Friday, his last day ::shaking head::

Work has been getting the better of me lately. I've moved into my team, which is not a problem. But I don't have the support like I did when I was within my other team. It's still new, and I know everyone else has their own work to do, but it's just "different."

Another friend of mine, who I will sadly miss when she leaves, I think will be putting in her resignation in the next couple of weeks. She's soooo ready to get outta here, and I don't blame her. She hasn't been happy, and her team leader hasn't been giving her the support that she really needs. I feel for her, and will miss her dearly. But in truth, I think think management needs to do some hard evaluating, just for the simple fact, that in the past 6 months, we have had so many people leave. Management says that we have the lowest turn over rate, but that's b/c we have the biggest department. We may have less people who leave the company, but it's so much harder to hire someone and keep them. Our department has always struggled, but yet nothing is being done to figure out why (i.e. pay increase would be nice....hint hint).

Hmm, so what else has been going on? My mum rang me on the phone last weekend, for the first time EVER. I've been with my partner for over 7 years now..and this is the first time she's rang me from home. I'm quite happy and quite proud that she rang me. It will be my turn next, which will be Mother's Day, or around there. But we actually met up yesterday on the webcam, which was nice. Everyone seems to be doing well.

Around here, things were pretty full on this weekend. We had a Good Friday afternoon tea, then Saturday, was my sister in law's 44th birthday party. It's a good thing we've had a few extra days to settle down. Lucky for my partner, she gets all of this week off. And let me tell you, she's milking it for all it's worth ::laughing lightly::

We were going to look for a kitten today, but my partner has to go to the doctor for her 3 month checkup. She had a biopsy done on her breast, and everything was okay back in December. But they wanted her to come back just as a final check up I guess. So once again, the search for a kitten has been put on hold.

Will most likely get another tattoo, within the next few weeks. My partner and I were busy coloring and designing our tattoos. I found a really cool design online, and was busy making it look pretty. I'm hoping it get it in the next few weeks...we'll see.

Well, I will close for now...until next time folks!!
