Interview done!

I don't think that ones a goer, funny thing is, I'm pretty sure I'm not the right fit for the role but I wouldn't be surprised if the offered if to me!!
Crazy... I'd turn it down, it's really not a good fit for me.
I do procurement (only procurement) that role was a mish mash of 25% procurement/25% Facilities management /25% fleet management / 25% damn we don't know what we need you to do today!
Anyway..not a good fit, is I wasn't sure about the manager.. Plus it's way out west, I'm not a fan of he west of our city, I'm a north girl.
As I drove down the free way though...way, way down the free way.. I saw the new wet n wild park being built.. Must check out tickets for that place to take the kids.

I have an interview for a procurement role next Tuesday, really fancy that role, hope if lives up to my expectations!

Miles & Greta have cricket tonight.. They e joined the school cricket club, cute.. Hope they like it.. As with EVERYTHING at school (or even in this country lol) there's a sausage sizzle afterwards!

Ok, best hinting the pest inspectors.. Ants everywhere!

Interview update

So I had a phone interview yesterday for a job I quite fancy.. I got a call later yesterday afternoon to say I'd got through that ok (yay) and would need to then do some online testing.. I did that last night.. Was ok, not too hard, think I did ok there.. So airing to hear if I get invited for a face to face interview now.

I do have an interview at 11am today but not sure the jobs right for me.. Anyhow, I'll go along and see.. It's good interview experience in any case.

On Friday I have to go pick up the 2 boys we are fostering..looking forward to that, seeing them again and getting to know them.
Will need to work out what we can do with then over the weekend that'll be fun for them.

All for now.

Job hunting .....again!

After 6.5 months in my current role, I have a little over a month to go and ... I'm finished here.
Going to miss it.. The hours were perfect (7-3), the location is perfect, but it was always going to be an 8 month contract so ... Time to move on.
The idea of taking short term contract roles was so I could work the majority of the year and then take off the whopping 8 weeks that the private schools have off over the Christmas break.. Hopefully it works out that I can take some time off, but reality is that I need to work to pay the school fees and Greta's pre school fees - which closes down for 4 weeks over Christmas - so may (I hope not though) have to start sooner than the start of Feb which is what I'm hoping for.
I'm applying now anyway and have 2 interviews this week so can't see them waiting 3 months for me to start!
No idea how we're going to manage over the Christmas break though if I've just started a job... I'll have no leave and of course we have no family to help babysit.., well see how these 2 interviews I have this week go I guess...

In other news. We have finally after a year of interviews and training started our careers as foster carers. We have 2 little boys join us on weekends starting from Friday this week.
We've met the boys and they're quite boisterous so I think the plan is to take them out lots to burn off some energy.

Since I was last on here Greta has turned 4. Now have a 6 yr old and a 4 yr old!
Where have the years gone!

All for now
