  • Anyone following little blurt yesterday about being headhunted for a new role that might only be one day week. I met with my former CEO today and we had a great catch up. The role is basically a consultancy at the moment, but the brand has some real traction to coming which means the consultancy will most likely lead to a proper role in the near future. The brand has a big emphasis on social impact and I think talking to my old CEO about it had awakened some long dead passion in me. I haven’t felt this energised in a very long time. I told my CEO how my current employer would be a hinderance to working for him and he’s agreed to try and work something out. However I’m of the mind set that I’m going to start looking for a job, probably part-time that is going to allow me to work as much as I can for this new gig and say good bye to my current toxic one.




  • Feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’ve hated my current job for a while due to the owner of business being a pretty toxic, uncaring individual. Last week I got approached by a friend who I know through a previous job to come and work for our former Creative Director/CEO who has started his own company. At my current job, I’m a casual but work full times hours. My friend has mentioned the new role might only be one day a week. I know my current employer will not allow me to reduce my hours and stay on as the store manager. I also know that if I decide to step down but stay on as a regular casual, she will be vindictive and most likely prevent me from receiving enough hours to get by. I’m meeting my old CEO for a coffee tomorrow and I just feel really sad that this great opportunity to work with some great people will slip through my fingers and I’ll be stuck at my current shitty job and that nothing good can come way.




  • Pretty happy with myself for not doing my usual ‘i just bought groceries but now I want uber eats’ and giving in to the temptation. Ended up making a salad of ruby burst grape tomatoes, red capsicum, cucumber, coriander and mersey valley cheddar and pulled it all together with some salt and lime. Just smashed the salad and waiting for my expensive nuggies (the inghams ciabatta coating ones to) Hurry up and cook.




  • Solo christmas for me this year and loving it so far. Just made my self a huge breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese, coriander and mexican spice mix and a bit a soy sauce for flavouring, a ton of bacon and bubble n squeak. Lunch is probably going to be Chicken nuggets with some sweet and juicy grape tomatoes. Dinner will be hungarian inspired hamburger patties, chips and corn and peas on the side. My day will be filled playing Star Trek: Birth of the Federation ( with TNG on in the background) and possibly Arkham knight later tonight. To all the others having a solo xmas, make the most of it, do what you enjoy, eat what you enjoy and cherish the serenity!
