Yesterday Boss gave me the baby apple and baby mandarin from his lunch because they were apparently too small for his big belly. It was then I realised the stupidest thing.

Some people go out with anyone because they're afraid of missing out. And some people wait a lifetime so that they can be in a relationship that counts.

I don't really know Keegan, aside from a few casual conversations and his photography, but his blogpost, Eight dates for one moment is a true fairytale from the average life.

The long Easter break is almost over. Didn't really get a chance to party it up as I worked four days out of the five - my celebrations consisted of rushing from work to Chinatown last night and enjoying a beer with the few who didn't manage to get the hell out of this town during the break LOL.

What else is there to say? I seem to have lost my voice in the last two years.

Mostly work related news. Yesterday at Yu, I captained sections for the first time. My heart was racing something crazy, I just felt like a very small girl in a very big suit (and funnily enough, that was exactly what I was) and no one really tells you what you're meant to do, they just throw you to the dogs and if you come out fighting then hey, you'll do. But... it was the same job. Same job I've always done except now I can, and am expected to, tell others to do their job as well.

I want to understand your situation but at the same time, I'm just tired of you going ape-shit at me over the smallest things. It has just been a really long day and I wanted to give up, scream back, but my uncle posted this on his Facebook not too long ago:

‎"Do not be angry with people who are weak. That is the mark of a coward. There are plenty of things to be angry about in the world--people wielding political or religious authority who have been blinded by money, for example! That is the kind of evil young people should direct their rage at. Be angry about that, and you'll never lose your temper about trifling matters."
-- Josei Toda

Dear God, give me courage and give me strength. Give me the patience to carry on through and then, give me peace.

General procrastinating and random net stalking led me to find this:

“So the concept of sort of stepping out and saying yes to things you might not say yes to, just on the adventure of it, became clear to me, and I’ve sort of tried to live that way, being adventuresome, and chancing making a total fool of yourself because of the adventure of it.”
– William Shatner

Woo day off from work! ILYSUNDAYS <3 Still heaps to be done regardless, my To Do list is about a mile long.

Short Term Priorities

• Finish Electorate Office application;
• Begin Mars and KPMG applications;
• Organise laundry;
• Fix my schedule for next week.

Next week will be pretty packed as I've got First Aid training (paid for by Myer!) all Monday and Tuesday, and I also start part-time work at Burswood on Monday as well. I've got to fit a car service, doctor's appointment, an eye-doctor's appointment and a personal appointment sometime during the week, organise my Dad's birthday on Saturday, catch up with YYK and take Kim out for her birthday at some point as well.

Seeing as how I need to get my priorities straight, I've also taken a break from Koreaboo for 2 months. There's way too much going on for me right now and I wasn't contributing as much as I liked, and struggling to meet the availabilities I said I had. I was willing to leave and reapply later when I might have time, but Flow and Steph said it wasn't necessary. I'm glad cause I enjoy Koreaboo way too much to leave it properly :)

Off I go to Get Things Done! Fighting! ^^

Most interesting news of the week - Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Yu Restaurant on Tuesday. I'm not politically designed but it is still pretty exciting to have big fish like her in. For anyone who cares, I thought she was larger than she looked on TV and she had Howard Park Riesling with her dinner.

From a sea of rejections and unfinished applications, here comes one small consolation: I've been accepted as a Supervisor Trainee at work. It's mostly exploitative - longer hours, more responsibility, less pay because you have to convert to part-time, no guarantee of a Supervisor position at the end of training, not to mention the politics involved with senior Supervisors despite the fact that there's no position guaranteed - but it's something. There's no glory without the effort. It's one more thing to go on the resume and I'll be a more valuable employee regardless at the end of it all. Plus I get to wear a SUIT in a restaurant. How's that for win? XD
