| what attracted you to the position? | June 6, 2013 | EEEEEKKKKK……the worst question. The obvious answer is: “I want a job”. But in the world of job interviews that isn’t good enough. Job interviews are a kind of cruel and unusual punishment aren’t they. I say that as someone who had to sit on the other side of the table this morning as part of […] |
| WHAT IF?…a post about feeling anxious | June 3, 2013 | It happens really rarely these days but this morning I woke up with knots in my stomach and a woozily head. I was anxious about the day ahead. I had had two late nights and hadn’t slept very well. None of that helps with anxiety. Well it actually does help the anxiety. It doesn’t help […] |
| The page turner | June 1, 2013 | This evening I am going to a concert as the page turner. Some very good local musicians are putting on a concert with all proceeds going to flood relief. Much of the city is still in a bad way with many many houses yet to have repair work begun. This is not a post about […] |
| The 40 dollar table | April 6, 2013 | Finally my flood damaged music room was completely ready to set back up this week after the last of O’Reilly’s men traipsed through the house leaving a trail of dirty footprints behind them. In all fairness though they were quick, efficient and did everything they said they were going to. I was so relieved when […] |
| an at home weekend | February 17, 2013 | Well it’s been a big February so far. It took two weeks for me to be able to move back into my house properly. Even though I was sleeping here after a week of the flooding I had no hot water system so was living a strangely displaced existence with half my clothes at my […] |
| The river ran through us | February 1, 2013 | After waiting for the Burnett River to peak all night Monday and into Tuesday it stopped at around 9.5 metres. I spent Tuesday obsessively checking the BOM flood warnings and gaining a new insight into things like catchment areas, rises, falls and just how water works. Ultimately, I felt like the luckiest girl in the […] |
| there’s no holding back a river | January 28, 2013 | The first time my house flooded there was no warning. I had my parents living with me as they were in the process of building a new house. There was an afternoon of torrential rain, the sewage main backed up through the house while we were watching television and before we knew it we had […] |
| of meditation and exercise | January 4, 2013 | Today started a little inauspiciously. I woke up way too early and my brain clicked into gear immediately. My head was also a little woozy which I hate. I made myself do yoga breathing and this passed by the time it was time to get out of bed. I did my meditation before work and […] |
| reality sets in….and bites a little | January 3, 2013 | I had every good intention to write a post about what I read in 2012. But now it is evening and I am tired and would not do it justice. I also realised that I haven’t kept track of my reading in 2012 very well. I can however, write a post about the way my […] |
| Heigh Ho | January 1, 2013 | Well here we are at the 2nd of January and it’s time to go back to work. I feel strangely calm about the whole thing. Anyway, that’s boring talk. What happened yesterday? I sewed most of the afternoon. Then my Dad popped over to help me move my dining table into the music room where […] |
