Another month, another blog; although I think there's fairly little to report! Sam and I came back from our holiday about a week ago now; we both had a lovely time in Bulgaria - weather was low 30's and the resort was really nice. All in all, a very relaxing, (and much needed!) break away from work, job-hunting stress and life in general. We're currently looking to go away for a long weekend if not before then just after Christmas. Sam's family have a cottage down in Cornwall which is looking like a possibility, if not then I think we'll try looking in mainland Europe for a Friday-Monday getaway. Watch this space!
In other news, the job hunt is going horrendously worse than even I could have imagined! Still unsure as to what I actually want to do, I'm receiving countless e-mails every day from Internet sites I've signed up to. I'm signing up with another agency (this time in Tunbridge Wells) in the hope that they'll be better than the last one (!), and I'm using my day off today to apply for some other things. I'm going to go for a few French-speaking and/or office roles around the Kent/West Sussex area, and I've been seriously considering applying for a few graduate schemes up in London, particularly in HR. Work is awful at the moment; we've got a triathlon event coming up this weekend for which I'll be working 6am-4pm both days, but then I'm hoping things will start to calm down a bit after that. The kids have all gone back to school now so weekdays should be boring and long, although being sent home early does have its advantages; i.e. more time spent on the job search! One of the girls (who's worked there for 10 years; only a few more than me!!) is leaving in a couple of weeks time for a job in Oxted; when she goes I'll be the longest-working employee in my restaurant, hence the sudden panic to leave and find a real job. Hopefully something will come up soon; although after a few months of saying that now I can definitely say that hope is fading fast!
Will blog again soon, hopefully with some good news (!) but for now; back to the job hunt!
