I'm so glad today is Friday. Not just because it's the day before the weekend, but because I feel sick and need my weekend. I got sick last Saturday and I'm still sick. I had Monday through to Wednesday off work. I was feeling better yesterday then I had the days earlier, but not 100%. I just couldn't use up any more sick leave days. I'm already well into the negatives due to have 2 weeks sick leave at the beginning of the year due to having Glandular Fever. It has paid off though that up until this year I had only used 2 or 3 out of my 10 yearly sick days. So this means that I had like 3 years accumulated sick leave. Ofcourse now I have used up most of my sick days next year. And this is bad as I am not necessarily planning on being hear a whole nother year so it will eat into the my Left over Annual Leave payout when I do leave. I was sick with the Flu and the doctor mentioned Sinus. I don't think I've had Sinus's before. While I am feeling better then I was, it has totally knocked out my sleeping habits and find it incredibly hard to sleep at night. So I lie awake for hours and wake up the next morning with one of those sleepy headache's you get from having a poor nights sleep. I will hopefully start to feel better in the next few hours. Generally by afternoon I feel great.
In other things. I am more decided in what I want to do job wise. I will stay at my current workplace and the next job I will get will be in Web Design. Web Design is what I'm doing my tafe course in. It's what I enjoy doing and what I dream of doing for a job. I have always been creatively inclined and so to be able to work in a job where I can really use my talent and build my knowledge of the industry and all things Web Design/Development would be a dream come true. It's something that I never really thought about seriously until the last couple of years. It's always been something that I've been interested in. I remember when I was in primary school and going on the internet in our lunch breaks was a huge novelty. I remember being so amazed at webpages and how they were designed. And of course since then technology has gone in leaps and bounds and it amazes me. I love it all. I never considered the possibility of doing it for a job. The thing that got me all excited and interested in wanting to work in web design was when one of my tafe teachers sent out a job position to the class. It got my mind working and it made me realise I would really love to work in a job doing that. I have a couple of contacts in the industry who have helped me learn and they say that I have talent and were amazed at the site I had created for my tafe assignment. One thing I need to work on though is getting away from the 'blog' look when designing websites and making them look more professional and business like. I would absolutely love to design for blogs, but I can't do this for a full time job. I need to grow and broaden my capabilities.
You're going to think I'm strange but I'm rediscovering lego. I use to love lego when I was a kid and my brother and i would spend hours and hours building things. I remember one christmas my parents got me a girly lego set. It was the best, especially since I was a girly girl. It was the Lego Paradisa Cabana Beach set. Eventually though lego seems to evaporate into thin air and I only have bits and pieces left. So last week I went online and somehow came across this awesome site http://www.bricklink.com/. They had my Cabana Beach aswell as many many others in the Paradisa lego range. So I bought a couple of the sets. They're coming from the US and I just can't wait. I know I'm a strange, but that's who I am. I guess I like things from when I was little. Brings lots of good memories. When the lego comes I am going to clear off some space in my bookcase and set it up. I might just have to put away some of my barbie dolls (haha). Anyway I'd better get back to more mature things such as work.



I'm still alive
