I'm Sorry, I'm Leaving

In a week I will finish my current job. I gave my notice a few weeks ago after too many months of being unhappy with it. I realized that life is too short to put up with a job that drains your confidence and doesn't allow you to progress! It's always a scary move, leaving something secure and reliable for something else (or the unknown in this case!) but ultimately, I know I'm resilient and have always managed to find work in all of our different moves and choices.

It helped that a friend found herself in a similar scenario and also decided to make a move. A little inspiration to listen to my gut and trust my skills. It's been a couple years and the role has certainly been a rollercoaster over that time. I'll sure miss the team but do hope that they end up with someone who has a new reserve of energy to get things sorted.

So, I've been on the job search for a few months now, there's only been a handful that I've felt could be fulfilling at this moment and I've had a few interviews. But none were meant to be so I'm not getting overly hung up on it. I might turn my sights back to self-employment so I will keep you posted!

Just thought it was a big update to share and I look forward to sharing my next step once it's there! :)

Taranaki Rugby!

Some photos from the game on Saturday afternoon. The wind caused a few wayward kicks and the torrential downpour mid-game made the ball slip all over the place but then the sun came out and Taranaki won! They were playing Canterbury who are now behind them by one place in the rankings. We had fun and managed to walk there and back without catching any of the rain. The steam-breathing drivable mascot I don't think the photo does justice to just how much it was raining! Line out Go the 'Naki! (They are the yellow and black team.)

Not for the squeamish

Well the long hours of work and planning and helping friends demo sheds and paper shuffling and biking and cooking and eating and cleaning have caught up with us and Dustin has relinquished his right to tell his story from last week. **Note, the pictures are gross so beware if you are a little faint seeing blood... So, last Friday I had worked the early shift and was back at home on a call with a virtual assisting client, so naturally my mobile was on silent, and as soon as I hung up, the home phone rang. (This is a phone that only people who have had a part in giving birth to one of us tend to use... that and wrong numbers, we get a surprising number of wrong numbers...) Anyways when Dustin's voice was on the other end the confusion began. "Hi, I'm at the hospital. Come here now." "What happened??" "I'm fine. Just come up here." (Wheels spinning in my head...) "Are you sure? I think it will take me too long to bike because I
