stupid product design

this going to seam like a really weird post well the subject matter is going to seem weird to blog about especially that this is being imported straight on to my face book profile and setting notifications to all my friends (thanks facebook ;) )
well anyway who cares



so a couple of days ago i notice that libra had designed these tin protector cases to keep ur pads in your handbag safely. i thought wow perfect for those when that fall out of ur bab at the most inconvenient time - at the check out getting ur wallet out, in the staff room on your lunch break.
i cant help but fashion has extended to inside ur undies now. u can get now can you tampons is a wide variety of different colours and patterns and pads all come in these funky designs too.
anyays (a little side tracked) the next time i went shopping i brought a packet to get the tin only to be disappointed when i got home. i discovered it only fits one in like who only needs one for the day out? and it only fits the style that is sold with so all the others in the libra range cant fit, u would think they would make a standard size and to fit at least 2 pads.....what were they thinking?

the Rush is in

omg i have found a decent aussie drama. anyone who is familiar with aussie tv and i know i dont want to bag it out but good drams are far and few in between so i generally hesitate to try them out in the past i have watched mcleod daughters, water rats, secret life of us, love my way, underbelly
anyways we have started watching rush and im totally invested after 1 episode! okay thats not hard for me i invest quickly lol and that investment soon turns to obsession.
its a melb based show which seem to be churning out the best lately. and its a drama not a soap a la all saints and what mcleods turned into.
i started watching it purely because it had Rodger Corser, Callan Mulvey, Catherine McClements, Samuel Johnson
but the rest of the cast is also great hope this is long lived!

also last week fell in love with jj abrams new show fringe which has josh jackson in who appearance in it made me watch it ;)

all that i am hearing is white noise

we went to see the living end on tuesday night at the catho's new funtion room the cube. i had been dieing to see them for 11 years! when the first started out they were basedd in melb so no nsw gigs then i missed them when they went on tour when i was younger. 

the concert was good. felt like a real concert cos it was standing room only. they opened up with "i cant give u what i havnt got" and played most songs from white noise their new album as well as some old faves. i  literal got goes-bumps when they started "prisoner of society"  after sitting at home when i was 16 watching the film clip on rage and getting the cd for my 17th bday which i played to death and ruined the cd thank got i ituned it b4 it really died. 

my feet were killing me and i was dead tired and had a pet scan the next morning but i could of had a longer set wish it started earlier. 

best bits when chris played his guitar with his empty vb bottle and jumped up on scott's base while scott played and chirs played his. awesome.

yay im so glad i went.

moving hell

so we moved a fortnight ago. 

on the 31st of august my old boss informed me she want me to move out of the house we rented off her asap, essentially evicting us. 

her issue?

she had come on the my fb account and had read this blog via my imported notes. she took offense to two blog post. one about her not having my position to go back to work when i was ready and one about my sexuality. she also had issue of photos i had posted of her and me on there. and that i had my work details on my account. weird thing is, she doesn't have an account or net access at home. and my photos and work and contact details were on private settings. so if she had went on my profile and wasnt a friend yes she could read my blog (which has no personal details) but could not connect it to my work place. but she did see information that only my friends had access to so she saw my profile via one of my friends accounts.

needless to say she was very pissed off and printed all offending stuff off and said if i didnt take it off she would seek legal action against me. she was telling me my whole account was illegal!! and told me and adrian to move out. we did it in a week!!

she also told me that i should of never been a teacher again because i had cancer and would most likely would get sick again, that the drugs had "done stuff to my head", "i should move away and start afresh some where else", and that she thought i was going to die. 

so i turned my fb account private. deleted one of the post (the one about me bitching about her) she cant have say about the rest of blogs. i deleted the photos of her and me ect. and also deleted 8 friends that were connected to her since i could not be sure who dobbed me in for what i wrote as she said she was told by some one. 

yet as you can see she hasnt made me afraid to post on my blog (i also changed my url address so anyone has my blog subscription u should update it ;) )

she may claim she has a legal case against me but i have at least two against her at this stage so......

what ever  bitch!!

back to work

(i really need to update this :) )

ok so i went back to work on the 11th of august. after 7 months of being on sick leave i was looking forward to going back to work. initially i was feeling really nervous about going back to work as well as really missing it. when i was visiting work i would feel really out of place and i was worrying how i was going to cope going back to work and thought about having councilling before hand. i was worried that i would feel and act like i was when i first started and have to get used to EVERYTHING again. at home i would sit upstairs(i lived in a house attached to the preschool) and feel nervous and worry about going to work and as much as i missed it i was relieved to to be working there as well. 

then when my boss informed me she didn't have a position for me until january i was very pissed off and felt betrayed, i did understand the reasons why she didnt want me back until the new year but was upset she encouraged me to get another job and stay there if i liked it. i was confused why she was encouraging me to get a new job when i was a valued employee and a good friend. 

so i reached out to my former employer that i had left in 2006 to start my current position. 

the first day i wasnt very nervous or anxious at all. it felt like i was going back home. i love the kids and the girls i work with is great. it took about a fortnight to get back into the routine as i was little confused at times remembering what they did when i was there last time and my old jobs routine. i was very tired probably for the first month of working and occasionally still a bit tired now 

(i didnt tell my old boss i wasnt planning to go back there but she did know i was working and awkardly both preschools are 5 mins walking distances from each other.)

in the end all the  worry and nerves i had about going back to work disappeared and i didnt need a councilling session
