today i feel like writing a blog.
i have 4 more days of work left. then on friday morning driving to adelaide with 4 carloads of bands and other people for a rad weekend of cross-state shows. i've been looking forward to this for a month, it will be splendid
return on monday... free! going into carl's work the next morning for some birthday tattoo 
second session on my new pelvic piece, hopefully get a decent amount of colour in it.
next day i need to visit my friend amy to suss out starting work for her. also will be visiting the beautiful vegetarian cafe the organic food and wine deli, which is upstairs from amy's shop, to ask about work with them. and a new friend of mine who works at the awesome friends of the earth cafe/food co-op/bookshop asked me to come work in the cafe there too. this would only be a few volunteer hours a week but i would be thrilled to
i want to commit to food not bombs as well, but unfortunatly need to secure more paid work pretty swiftly as i owe carl for some plane tickets. we are visiting good friends in wollongong (just south of sydney) for a few days next month and spending a week over christmas with more friends in brisbane. heaps of melbourne crusty punks are currently working in the social research call centre. it is a government-sponsored survey machine to collect public opinion data. as call centre jobs go it has good rates, hours and while not really achieving anything, at least they're not selling anything. so that's a good possibility for some part-time income.
but what i really want from this break from full-time wage-slaving is some time to discover who i am again! that sounds a bit hippie but honestly, i've had so little opportunity to see my partner, friends or do things that make me happy. so i plan on filling every waking minute with lots of these things. which will include quality time with important people, reading, spending time outside in the sun, exercising more and hopefully starting fire-twirling lessons!
thanks for reading folks, til next time

Aw, thanks for your thoughtful comment! I have made up my mind by now and have to admit that I was just overreacting again. Sometimes making decisions really freaks me out and I start to panic, usually it takes me a few days to think straight again and then things actually look far less frightening than they first seemed. I am going to face the challenge because it definitely is a fantastic opportunity that might open doors for me than would have remained closed otherwise. Of course it involves loads of work, but I think it is the right thing for me. Hope you're well? xxx
but, after all that, i've decided i don't want the job anymore
