So I start a new job today. I've won an APS6 job with the same Federal Department I've been working with for the last 3 1/2 years and it starts today. I can't say I'm particularly thrilled about it though :/
Biggest reason I don't want to go to work is I just had 3 weeks off work, of which 2 1/2 were spent travelling in Europe. And it was fucking ACE. Iridescent_ReD and I fly to Vienna, Austria (via Seoul, Korea) with my mum and mum's b/f. We then caught a train to Budapest, Hungary, where we stayed for one week. I spent 4 of those days at the dentist (the business side of the trip) but still got to do some sight-seeing and junk in between.
Years of drug-abuse and crap living had resulted in my teeth being really quite fucked. Now that I don't live like that any more and I have a family and am a parent and stuff I would like to not look like an ex-junkie any more. And now I don't
After the dentist work was done, Iridescent_ReD and I left mum & her b/f in Budapest and we flew over to Paris, France for a week.
That city fucking rocks! As corny as it sounds, we treated it a bit like a 2nd honeymoon. There we were, in the sexy city of Paris, with no kid, no work, no crap. Just a bunch of awesome old buildings, great wines & chesses, an amazing patisserie every time you turn a corner, each other and a funky little apartment in the 11th.
Damn we had some fun..... We ate and drank heaps, but with walking ~20km/day and plenty of lovin, we got heaps of excercise. I have never been in such a 'wow this is the best holiday ever' kind of vibe that I was in there in Paris. I need to start applying for jobs there I think. I could support the 3 of us over there if I landed an EL1 level job. I'd love to show the kid some of the stuff we saw.
Meanwhile... a reality check... the kid wants breakfast... I need to make some sandwiches for school & work and I'd better go wake up my sleeping beauty and get her a coffee....
C'est la vie

Out of curiosity, was it a must to get your dental work done specifically in Budapest, or was there a particular dentist who could ONLY do what was needed, and happened to be in Budapest?? Or was it something you decided to get done over there as part of the trip...as in "we're going to Europe, I might get some dental work done too" ???
Either way, so glad you got it fixed/worked on. Alot of people don't know about the dental side of drug abuse. Or the cardiac side either etc etc. Congrats!!
Reality bites after a beautiful time away..........
