No Toll

I must first comment on the new wordpress dashboard…it’s rather…different. I can switch back to then old version if I want, but I’ll give this a shot first :P

I received a rejection letter from the photography related job I had applied for about 3/4 weeks ago, which I had the interview for a week ago today. I have mixed feelings. I’m not cut up about it, but I can’t help but start to feel frustrated a little.
This is also good I guess, I don’t have to pay toll charges on a daily basis, which I would have had to do if I’d got the job.

I did however apply for two jobs at the main hospital in town. UK’ers would recognise it as being the hospital featured in the BBC program ‘City Hospital’ (at least I think it was called that!) It’s huge, and I think it’d be a pretty interesting and diverse place to work in. Not to mention rewarding.
Both positions appear to be an assistant job in the Radiology department. I have experience with that from the patient perspective, having had MRI and X-ray scans before. I have been mildly considering becoming a Paramedic (when I am eligible) for some time now. To be honest I’d really like a job with some sort of meaning to it.

My new exercise regime seems to be going okay so far. I’ve been walking the dog for 30-40 minutes each day, and have been doing some muscle toning exercises in the mornings and evenings. I do wish my Mum was more supportive of my determination. Hearing comments such as “you’ll never be slim” doesn’t really help.

Like Will Smith says in ‘Pursuit of Happyness’ (great film btw): “If you want something, go get it. Period.”
My Mum and my sister can carry on grumbling about their weight, but I’d rather take the proactive approach.
Oh and apparently I can’t wear a white dress to my cousin’s wedding? Why not? :P Hehe.

A measly 5

I did a measly 5km on the exercise bike today. I could’ve done more but the seat on my sister’s bike is really uncomfortable :(
Plus I started to get a headache and stuff. I must be sooo unfit, I used to ride 3 miles a day no problems when I was at school.
But hopefully that will change. I plan to go for 10km tomorrow and then an extra 5 the day after. If I have free time right now I might as well use it. Even if it means causing a headache etc. It’s not because I get dehydrated, I just… idk it can’t be that because I drink lots :P

I figure, I need new jeans, and it’s March… Beach weather is June-mid August ;)

Still no news from the jobs I applied for. That’s pretty rude. At least send me a rejection letter, don’t ignore me ._.
This afternoon I’m going to do something I’ve not done in a while: take the dog to the forest and take pictures. The weather is lovely and…I just feel like it :)
