Im very very disenchanted with many things lately (aka, michele is being a very grumpy bum…), but then you know how something happens and boom, you are in a happy mood again?

this is how I was feeling on friday night (okay, its a little long, but bear with me!) –

“

Today was a bad day.  I would like to think that normally I don’t complain all that much, however, today was particularly bad and I think it warrants a rant.  Usually I like to keep a positive attitude but today no mental will of mind could have improved it.

Well, maybe Im over exaggerating by saying it was ‘particularly bad’, but it was certainly one of those days when nothing seems to go along how you would like it to.

Firstly, I was woken by my boss @7.  I don’t hate my boss or anything, but you know when they call you *that* early in the morning that they want you to come into work.  And this was true of this morning.  She already knew I had a doctors appointment and was happy to work around that.  The short of it – the night girl would start early and I would do the night shift, and then, because I was rostered on Saturday morning, that was swapped with the midday girl so I would have enough time between shifts.

This was all a pain in the butt, because I had to cancel lunch with a friend today, and wont be able to go out drinking tomorrow evening.  And now I don’t have a day off.  Blah.

So, next m mum walks in and tells me there’s a train strike, so instead of sleeping in another half hour and then leisurely getting ready before catching the train to m doctors appointment, I have to get up and get ready to catch the bus at 8:20.  This wasn’t so bad, but because of the strike, it took an hour and 40 minutes to get into town, double the usual.  So I was late for my appointment, but then so was everyone else and the doctor.

By the time that was over (and I have to have key hole surgery BTW) I was starving, so I had a quick sub before catching the bus home.

At home I had an hour and a half to chill out, but stupid me, was a little to keen and left for work half and hour early.  Opps…  And when I noticed the time I just decided to keep going because it would have been too embarrassing to go back home as we had to get a stranger to move his car for me to get mine out.

So this leaves me here at work, which truth be told, hasn’t been all that bad.  But still, I am dreading the next few days as I will get to exhausted.  I need a holiday t recover from my holiday!!”

And believe me, that mood has still exsisted til today.  And then I went to this lions Miss Personality info day at the PA hospital, and wham, Im feeling so much more positive.  I think its because you get to meet some amazing people, who are so dedicated to their work and actually making a difference – we met and watched as the Australian of the Year Ian Frazer was inducted into the Lions Club.  But it also makes you happy with yourself for supporting such a worthwhile fund.
