Well my job did not last very long. Activities Co-ordinator at a Resthome is a great job, lots of fun and you meet some wonderful people. But unfortunately it was not the job for me, I felt out of my depth, anxious, lay awake at night worrying about the residents. Even after only working there for 4 weeks I was growing attached to some of the Residents and it was quite hard to leave.
I want a job with no complications, no "shit" to take home, a job I can leave at work.........
We are still living on the boat, Autumn is rearing its head at last with cooler mornings, but so far it is not to bad on board. We have to row in to the toilet/shower, but the dinghy pontoon is only about 30ft away. We are both feeling quite comfortable about living aboard, Kabuki really feels like home now. But then we have been on her for 7 months now.
Xavier turned 18 on Tuesday, He is now legally able to purchase alcohol (some daft bugger lowered the drinking age), it just made me feel old, old, old.
Anyway I am off to scope out employment opportunities.
Hey sorry to hear the resthome job didn't pan out for you. I too would like the kind of job you desire....don't think it exists really. But have fun on the quest for it. I've been back at work now for two weeks since we did the 7 week holiday. I miss being able to just get up and go or not and the freedom touring gave me. It turned into a gastronomical trip lamb burgers in Wanaka, oysters on Bluff hill, brunch at the hermitage and crayfish in Kaikoura......and the war birds were amazing!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job hunting.
Can you find me a job while your at it? ;) Man, no way he is 18 already! Best of luck on the job hunt. It's out there, just hold out for it.
