Hello friends. It has been quite a while since I blogged. This is mostly because I fear my sole readership consists of my Mum and my sister. And my sister doesn't own a computer. Bless their cotton socks. Much appreciated, loyal family, but it does rather lower my blogging motivation (or blotivation?!)
It has been 2 or 3 weeks of grey, overcast weather and a grey, overcast mood for Lindsay. Today, things change, beginning with getting organized. I am going to fully spring clean my flat, finish unpacking the last of the boxes, start tacking my pictures up on the wall, and build the last of my flat-packed furniture, recently purchased from a large, well-known and particularly unhelpful Swedish furniture chain and waiting patiently for me in the cupboard.
But first, I might just watch Neighbours!
Aforementioned job application led to a job interview. This led to a very expensive but delightful shopping spree to purchase a new suit, and of course, appropriate accessories. For those who are into details and fashion, I ended up with a browny-grey wool trouser suit, with faint pinstripes. I selected a white button up shirt for underneath, with pleat detail alongside the buttons, and teamed it with my brown bag and brown high heels, and tiny diamond (ok, diamante) studs. It made a nice change from my usual blue and white striped uniform, but I did rather feel like a little kid playing dress-up!
After procrastinating on catching up on new nursing research and Department of Health guidelines, I was up at 5am the day of to prepare (who says I'm deadline driven?) In the end, I was 2nd place for the job. However, the Sister who interviewed me was very nice, and said she had been impressed with me and had passed on my details for another job opening up in a few weeks' time, in the same department, but actually a higher level job than the one I applied for, because it would be in my chosen specialty, children's nursing. So we'll see how that one goes. At least I have the suit!
This has been my most boring post yet. Before I go, a request: I am looking for snaps people have taken of Alberta. I plan to put some on my wall, in some rather funky frames I purchased from the Swedish place. If you have any nice pictures, of anything at all, I would love to see them, please e-mail them on.
