I supposedly have a grand plan – as we all know I left my job last week and I wanted to take some time out to get my head in the right place before starting my search for a new job and this is my excuse for the fact that I have spent most of this week playing on my Wii, walking and catching up on my podcasts and generally not thinking about much and I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed it (although I could have done with a lot more sleep than I have managed!)
There just seems to be one flaw in the plan…..hmmmm now what could that be???? Is it that I just fancy being a lady of leisure; tempting but no I think I would drive not only myself mad but James as well (well madder than we both already are). Its more to the point that I would rather be planning a holiday than persuading myself that someone would want to employ me!
The thing is I did start looking for a job this week (this wasn’t in the plan) and actually applied for one and now the recruitment company I used keep sending me emails; todays one was interview questions you shouldn’t be scared of. Number 3, tell about your interests – this would be when I start to panic; how do I tell them about my love for Disney without sounding like a complete nerd? Ok, so I am a Disney nerd and in my head I think everyone else should feel that same way that I do but I know that’s not the case (what is wrong with these people, what is there not to love?)
But anyway back to the thought about planning a holiday, we have talked about this quite a lot after all doesn’t it seem rude to go applying for a job and then be like oh by the way I have holiday booked but having worked in HR and done recruitment I know that it is normally standard (although not a given) that a new employer would honour this
And then we go back to previous posts where I have said we wouldn’t be going back this year but I feel myself missing it more nearly every day; yes I know I am not helping myself by having WDW on my Facebook and Twitter feeds or listening to podcasts about Disney but it makes me smile so I’m going to do it
The other thing I have done this week is go through the photos on my computer as I now have a shiny new one and wanted to make sure I kept everything – oh my goodness how many pictures of Cinderella’s castle is too many? I also found some amazing pictures that we have taken including this one across World Showcase Lagoon at Sunset when we were staking out our spot for Illuminations (must have been at least an hour and a half before it started but we had a seat and a properly unobstructed view)
I’m off to look through my pictures and then maybe – just maybe as tomorrow is a new day I will find my dream job or my dream holiday! xxx
