2016 - a new year a new job and not a lot of blogging but still a messy desk
Well the story of my redundancy went like this - week one apply for jobs, week two have phone screening interview, week 4 or 5 had a face to face interview and week 6 or 7 I learnt how to use Skype and conduct another interview with the HR department. So over a period of 8 weeks and many other applications for jobs and a couple of interviews on 1 June 2015, a year ago yesterday, I found myself back in the workforce again.
The few weeks i had were very nice, catching up with friends and being free to do what i wanted in between applying for jobs and having interviews. These all being quite stressful and the not knowing of when I would be successful of having another job.
Someone was looking over me, and put me to the test. I now have had the priveledge of working with a great team of guys. Have now obtained a Forklift licence, of which i can actually use and move things around the warehouse when i need to. I organised a team training session for everyone to get a First Aid certificate in my first couple of weeks. It has been a very big learning curve with learning how to do a warehouse stock take, how to order parts and process orders for customers.
The ups and downs of a year of working fulltime, is the lack of motivation to get out and get to the gym especially as the days get shorter. My home desk keeps getting messier again.
Interesting weekends with the family , as the eldest child -adult obtains the 120 hours required to obtain P plates in Victoria. So far we have visited 3 towns and had 3 family pub lunches and games of pool.With many more hours to go, comes the enjoyable mystery of where we will go every weekend and which pub will be dine at, and how many more hours will it count towards the 120 hours.
