Oh Chloe

I got a phone call on Wednesday about a possible month temp job working at an Early Childhood Centre, cooking and cleaning. Bit wary about it but the lady said it would be sweet and to meet her the next day. Okay so come Thursday morning, I wake up and its raining. When it rains in Auckland, it is such a damper on your day, seriously.
Got to the city and my feet were killing me. I’d decided to wear my Mum’s flat shoes since I didn’t fancy heels in the rain and every other pair of shoes I own have holes in em! [Cue shopping today]
Went to find the place and got lost. Had NO idea where I was meant to be heading so cue txt to Jack. Help. His reply: What can I do? Haha, so helpful. Anyway, I went to the supermarket and brought plasters. Cue 7 huge blisters on my feet. No wonder I was in so much pain! Brought phone credit, rung the lady and she said you’re right opposite, we’re in the finance building. Well thanks a lot lady.. no one told me it was there!

Anyway, I eventually got there and it was boiling hot inside the place yet windy and raining outside. Took off my jacket, talked and shown around and about an hour into being there and shown what I’d have to do, I almost fainted. Went real dizzy, hot, sweaty, pins&needles in my hands and had to sit down. They made me take a spoonful of sugar to get my sugar levels up or something and have some water. Eventually felt better but I think it was the heat, or the lack of my diet lately. I don’t eat properly and it’s a bad thing I know. I get reminded all the time by Jack.

So that was probably the most embarrassing and worst situations to be in. I left saying there were two more applicants wanting the job as well that they’re interviewing today and then I’ll get a call. I don’t think I want it though, and I know that sounds bad but it seems like a bad omen already and there’s so much to do, I’m worried I’d stuff it up majorly. I’m a nanny, not a full time cleaner and cook. And there’s such a strict timetable to stick to and making food for 20 children or so.. hard work. I talked it over with Jack last night. He said he’s not disappointed and I hope he isn’t because I feel like I’ve let him down with my confidence. There’s a 1/3 chance of me getting it anyway.

I came home and last night got out our old foot spa and soaked my feet in it. Oh.My.God. It was like heaven! I found one of those beauty things you get for Christmas and leave until you need it. It was a foot gel and foot lotion. And then I painted my nails after and made myself feel a bit better! Changed my linen last night and I should’ve left it for tonight because I find it so hard to make a double bed especially when it’s almost against the wall so I make Jack help me but noo, wanted a clean bed last night. Good thing though because I got a great sleep.
I did have photos of my pampering my feet and painting them but as my computer would have it, it’s taking too long to resize and I have no patience.

In other news, I haven’t been paid for my second week with the YMCA/Holiday programme. Who knows why, I tried ringing them yesterday and told my manager was away. So I asked my work-mate if she got paid and she said she did so there’s no reason why I didn’t so rang my manager’s cell and left her a voice mail telling her I didn’t get paid and to please call me back. No, nothing. I’m seriously pissed about it. I need that money and now I’ll probably have to wait another fortnight before I see it. So when Jack comes over later I’m gonna ask if we can go there so I can see her face to face because it’s ridiculous. I’ve never had a stuffed up pay with them before and my first week went in fine.

I should probably wrap this up since I keep typing the wrong words for some reason and hitting backspace more than usual… I’m gonna go find something to eat and then tidy my room before Jack comes over and tells me off! We’re going to Armageddon tomorrow so that should be cool.

PS: Check out this journal. It’s about a little girl who’s almost 3 battling terminal cancer. It’s so sad but she’s such a brave soldier. My heart goes out to her and her family.
