Reiki Reiki Reiki September 26th, 2008

Well this is it, tomorrow I’m off to my reiki class. I can’t believe it’s finally here! I’m so excited! Iv developed a bad back as well this week so hopefully tomorrow I can have some healing.

Since my last post so much stuff has happened, I walked out of work and checked into a 5 star health spa for a few days, I did it in style though and booked into the master suite (it was the only room left) it was amazing! I reluctantly went back home though and after a few nightmare days things started to settle down and I took just over a week off work which was bliss.

I did say that I wasn’t going to go back to work but I went back yesterday and hated every second of it, the second I set foot in that place all I wanted to do was scream and shout and throw things around!! I really can’t work there much longer and even though I keep telling people that I can’t do this much longer nobody is listening to me! Even walking out of work and running away to a health spa doesn’t seem to work, and if I don’t go into work then my family ignore me and won’t talk to me!!!

I can’t win, I either stay In a job I hate or loose my family.

College is going really well though, I’m really enjoying it, we have 2 assignments each week to do which is a bit of a pain but they have been easy so far so it’s not too bad.

I will let you know how my reiki goes tomorrow

Fed up September 24th, 2008

I’m really fed up today, iv had a cold now for a week and it’s not getting any better! Work has been horrible again and when I’m at home it’s not much better!

I’m just fed up of my life being the same boring routine day in day out!

On a plus side I started college again yesterday doing 1 day a week and I really loved it. I just wish I could afford to study full time. I actually want to become a midwife eventually but I can’t afford to take 3 years off to study. I think it’s something that I will have to do a few years down the line. In the meantime I have decided to do a course that will help improve my skills. The one I’m doing at the moment is a counselling course, Im doing a year course in 12weeks!! They call it a fast track! So hopefully I will have passed my exam by the January and if I like it I can start the diploma in September to become fully qualified!

I’m also doing my reiki 1 in October which I’m really excited about! If I like it I will also do my reiki 2 and that’s in December!

I just wish that I was at that point now and not stuck in this horrible limbo! I feel like my life is compleatly on hold!

I’m not sure when to start applying for jobs either as I will need to start a new job in January but I don’t want to apply now and have to let people down or start applying in a month or so and not find anything!! I have started looking and I have found a few that I’m interested in but just not sure what to do!

Anyway I’m off to bed now so that I can wake up and do it all over again.

24. All the paperwork I now have to do! Gone are the days of a chef just being able to cook! I must spend half the day filling out government crap!!

25. Customers who read the menu and then order something that we don’t do!

Holiday? September 4th, 2008

Why is nothing simple In my life? I’m trying to book some time off work as I really need a holiday but I can’t find a 2 week slot anywhere! My mum has booked off so much time that there is nothing left for me!

I have already had a 2 week holiday canceled because they couldn’t find anybody to cover me and I had a 3 day break canceled last week because another member of staff wanted to go away! I’m completely fed up! I refused to go into work last Monday and so they closed the shop and made me feel really guilty!

Last year when we went away on honeymoon they closed the shop for 3weeks! Maybe I should just go away and not care about what they do, it’s not my problem!
