I love my current job, but I've had several in the past where it almost made me sick to my stomach thinking about going into work. Hopefully it gets better for you or you can find something else that's a better fit. Hang in there. :)

Thanks, Kathy! *hugs* :romance-smileyheart:

Nice pics from your vacation. I was once in Legoland in Denmark. Was cool!

Hi Ladies :-)

Hope you are enjoying your short vacation, Steph :-)
Love what you have done to your kitchen, Sharon - can't wait to see more pictures.

Hope all are okay and enjoying Easter :-)

I got some great news... I got a job!!

Received a call Friday morning from a shipping company which is located north of Copenhagen - they were in urgent need of a new colleague, due to a colleague in their doc department went down with stress :-(
So they put out af feeler to the shipping industry (feeler, that just sound so weird), my old boss and one of their salesman recommened me highly :-) Was to the interview this morning and I GOT IT!! Met at the same time two colleagues I will be in the doc department :-)
My first day will be on next Tuesday and I can't wait.. :-)
My employment is for 2 months with the possibility to continue if everything goes well and they still have a need for it.
However I will join them for the next two days, to get to meet everybody and get introduced to the systems, assignments etc.. although I know one of the systems I will be working in.. just need a refresher :D

I hope to return later this week with an update and my thoughts on a epi or two :-)

Love you all..
Hanne

CONGRATULATIONS, HANNE!!

So glad you found a new job! I hope it's wonderful.

And congrats to Sharon on the installation of her countertop and redo of the kitchen! I had no idea you were so handy. ;)

How's everyone else doing? Steph, are you feeling better? How's your son? Simone, I hope your job has improved, even just a little, to take some pressure off you.

Hugs all around! :romance-grouphug:

Hi Sherry! Great to see you here! No, no improvement concerning my job. I feel like I'm stuck somehow in it! Hate it! Need the money, though! Well, yes I should be glad I at least have a job....! :icon-rolleyes: :-?

Hugs to you, too! Hope everything's ok with you!

Have a nice Easter-Monday you all. It's almost over here. Wish the days at work would go so fast, too.

THAT'S AMAZZZZING!
Thank you so much for letting us know! I want to come and celebrate with you. We ought to hold a little party here.
We are so proud of you (I think I can speak for us all here?)
I get what you say in the blog about not quite knowing your direction after you have been immersed in something so intense for so long. I don't know WHY I get it, because I have been in that comforting rhythm of school, timetable, holidays, since I was 5. But I do. And I wish you all the luck in the world. :) :happy-cheerleaderkid: :occasion-balloons:

Thank you so much, Steph and Simone (and Kathy and Simone over in the chat box, heeee)!

I've got about 1 hour to eat something quick (it's going to be a long ceremony and I'll be missing lunch!), brush my teeth, finish doing my hair and makeup and get dressed. No time to waste!

But I couldn't help but take a moment to stop by and send you all hugs. :D

Thank you so much for all your encouragement. Can you believe it's been 4 years since I took my first class in the summer of 2010, and you all cheered me on to give this new avenue a try?? Lots of love love love to you all.

Group hug! :romance-grouphug:

I know, Sherry shouldn't be mean to me. I mean I put the graduation smiley back up just for her and she just ignores me!!

Sorry, Sharon! I totally missed your post! It got buried because Simone responded to you about football? So I saw Simone and Kathy's posts and then I saw Simone's post about football so I didn't scroll down any farther in the chatbox because I thought that was it for my graduation talk. :D

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SHARON for putting in the graduation smiley and wishing me congratulations. Especially awesome coming from a fellow recent graduate such as yourself!! ;)

You're ALL awesome.

xoxoxooooo :romance-smileyheart:

And now I'm going to go crash, because it has been a very looooooooong day. An awesome day filled with lots of fun and laughs and cheer from my family, but definitely a long and tiring day.

Sharon, you're hilarious. :D

And since you've all been so wonderfully indulgent about this momentous occasion, here's a link to a quick blog post I made about the end of my crazy graduation day: "The Aftermath"

Thank you all again! (Especially you, Sharon. :laughing-rolling: You're the best.)

And a very special thank you to Steph for a beautiful e-card this morning. I admit there may have been some misty eyes and a choked-up throat. ;) *HUGS* to you. I am so grateful for your words.

So, what are your plans after graduation? Sharon, have you finished school completely, too? What are you doing now? Maybe I missed a post. Sorry! :icon-redface:

Sorry for my absence, everyone! Thank you again for all the graduation cheer. :romance-smileyheart:

Things have been pretty busy here. I've been settling into a new job, trying to assess if I can afford to move back out on my own, looking at apartments, and just basically trying to find a new balance in my life and my new schedule (finding balance = not easy to do, it seems). I feel like I'm all over the place, and not really engaging anywhere. I wonder if this is some weird residual from finishing school and not wanting to take on anything remotely resembling homework like I've been doing for the past 3+ years. I feel like there's lots I want to do and say, but have no desire to do it yet. I just can't seem to get there, energy-wise. Maybe that will change when I finally find an available apartment I like and change my scenery to something brand new and wonderful. :D We'll see...

How's everyone else been doing?
