Brown Dog in the Ring

I am 42 ... yes definitely! Live on one of my mothers properties. I also work as a Team Leader at the Whakatane Aquatic Centre. Have two dogs, a Curly Coated Retriever and an English Springer Spaniel. Also a ginger cat - JesseJames, who runs the whole household - oh yeah and then there's Rocky the roster ...

A week goes by!

Monday Monday - get a call to go to Harvey Normans to see if I want a job there. Go to work a tad hyped up at the prospect of not working there for much longer! Boss at aquatic centre asks me if I want to go to a course in Hamilton in a couple of weeks to become the assessor for lifeguards at our complex - I say yes. Everything happens at once!
Tuesday - sileage stack being sorted so I go to Dog club to keep away from getting a sore back - heard my brother in law got sucked in to helping !!! Help a screaming lady and three kids change her flat tyre, only to find the spare is flat too, offered to take the tyre to the garage at Awakeri to get fixed but she screams no and drives off to the supermarket! Amazing!
Wednesday - took all day to type up CV, then go into Harveys and discover its in the Warehouse lifting stuff - too old for that sort of stuff. Glad I said yes to Hamilton course! Just discovered I have Tuesday and Wednesday mixed up as I changed that tyre on my way to the Harveys interview - they let me wash my hands in the staff washroom! Hilarious but I guess you had to be there.
Thursday - do a early morning shift and wake fifty times during the night because I am scared I will sleep in - even though I have never done that the whole time I have worked at the sodding pools! Long shift as I am working with someone I do not trust.
Friday - another early morning shift - cold. Get home and should go do Delys' lawns but take the dogs for a walk instead and end up having a glass of wine at Delys'. Walk home and discover Duncan has followed, so take him back - tell Delys she needs to take Duncan to obedience school and my brother in law tells me the kids need to go to "kids shut door obedience school".
End of week, now eating bananas and custard.

Bummer about the job but something else will turn up.
Terrible attitude of that lady makes you feel like not helping.

Yes, you have had a busy week. Don't you hate it when you make an effort all for nothing, how rude?!?!

I always get amazed at how people get stressed out when they have a puncture - then make excuses and blame everyone else when they have to admit they dont know how to actually change it "because their husbands do this sort of thing". well, they dont travel round with their husband all the time ... so learn how to do it. When I got my first car Dad taught me out to change a tire. very good handy to know how. Also, I knew about one of the bolts - if you come across one of the bolts with ridges on it you need an adaption to get the wheel off. Once again this lady did not know where the adaption was. Found it in the glove box. This stops people from stealing tyres!
