Yippeee pasted my theory test. Can now concentrate on 2nd (and tougher part) in my little mini struggle to become a motorist.

Everyone told me it was going to 2 b easy but not to tempt fate I did a lot of revision and got all the quest right.

(I should mention it was multiple choice so no1 should be overly impressed!)

The hazard perception was a bit wierd. You dnt point at the hazard you see you jst click and click and click.

I really dnt know how they mark you on that one. They could simply ask you to point to what you r talking about and mark you on your response.

Y make life hard?

Anyway not to grumble, hopefully I wnt have to take it again, it expires in 2 years!

.....YIPPPPEEEEEE! alhamdulliah!

"Would you like all the dead hair removed?" the extremely nice hairdresser asked extremely nicely.

"Yes please" says I, as a child looks at their mum, having complete faith that they can put any problem right and still have time to tell them off. anyway....

Most of my hair is now in a dark bin in a probably dark room instead of being on top of my head about to enjoy a nice cup of tea. Apparently the majority of my hair was DEAD!

dnt get me wrong....the bob is kinda cute but I MISS MY LOVELY HAIR AND I WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN.

I am I exagerrating or has a part of me gone forever? (you probably figured out I dnt go to the hair dressers often)

Well I am going to sleep a diff person dan I woke up this morning. I attended a philosophy class once and one of the discussions was "Do we stay the same or do we change all the time?"

interesting if you can be bothered, pointless if you can't.

Anyway...good nite ppl, sleep tight and never have your hair cut, its better to lose a tooth. (in a weird sort of way)

fellow blogers, I got a real telling off today at work which made me feel demotivated and quite miserable. I work in a primary school ave been there for a few months and there is a woman who has been there for years it seems who goes out of her way to get you in trouble.

If you make a single mistake she will send her assistant to summon you, ask you direct questions designed to put you on the spot then she goes off and tells your line manager (who with out fail will give you another lecture)

She even went to the deputy head to tell her i had forgotton something,(i thought) as she apporached me about it it was the end of the matter but ohhhhhh no...line manager, deputy head everyone basciallly.

Its not only me this particulary lady is very approachable and goes out of her way to spy on colleagues and report everything to the seniors.

Personally i cnt wait to leave...in July i was jst wondering if anyone had had similar experiences at work....been told off...had someone in their workplace who jst wanted to make trouble for others that sort of ting...

Plz share your experineces as i am feeling quite shocked...call me nieve but i thought you was suppose to work WITH your colleagues not AGAINST them...

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Zainab Musa and I am writing in response to your advertisement for Graduates to take part in the Graduate Teaching Programme (GTP) at Gatton Primary School.
I feel this is an ideal position for me given my enthusiasm for teaching, my related qualifications and experience.

I have always wanted to pursue a career in teaching which is why I took the opportunity to volunteer in various teaching positions during my studies from Homework Clubs to English as a Second Language Classes.

Housing Manager
Look Ahead Housing and Care
1 Derry Street
London
W8 5HY

Dear Sir/ Madam

I have been a tenant of Look Ahead Housing Association for more than fifteen years. In this time I have experienced very little problems and have always received a high level of customer service and have been dealt with respectfully and honestly.

As you may or may not be aware I am housebound due to numerous health problems and I live alone, consequently I rely heavily on my tenant support worker. At the moment my tenant support worker is Mr Mohamed Osman, from whom I have sadly not received the support I am entitled to and need. On several occasions Mr Osman has told me he has dealt with matters I have asked him to and it has later become apparent that he has not. Furthermore Mr Osman has been like this since he became my tenant support worker, at the beginning I thought he was new to the job and I was very patient with him even when issues were not resolved, I now realise I can not rely on Mr Osman and can only see the situation deteriorating. I feel very strongly about this issue as I feel as a tenant of Look Ahead I am no longer receiving the help and support I am entitled to.

I am writing this letter to ask you to change my tenant support worker as I have lost confidence in Mr Osman and I no longer feel I can ask him to do things to support me as I fear they will simply not be done or done properly.

I would also like to stress that before this time I have always been very satisfied with my tenant support workers and have had every confidence in them. I would be grateful for a quick response and if possible if the change can take place quickly as I rely heavily on my tenant support worker and I feel now I have to rely on other people to deal with concerns and worries I would have previously spoke to my tenant support worker about.

Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours Sincerely

Mrs Amina Dirir

I made a mistake i dnt bother saving the personal statement thing sent me. Shal i jst try an do it myself?

It is quite strang though how we rarely look back and contemplate the events or decisions that brought us to where we are in this moment in time. Are we not after all living in the future in a sense, I am sure last November (apart from being horribly stressed with essay deadlines) I was thinking "Wow i wonder where I shall be next November"

Its quite a strange thing really we never really answer our question, I never for example think "ok that was where I was last Nov, and this is where i am now" Its just an unenthusiastic acceptance that you are where you are and you are not really that concerned how you got there, but strangly or naturally enough you can't wait to see where you are going to go next.

Hmmm some general ramberling I am afraid but it has made me realise one interesting point, I should really answer that question I posed a year ago with the same relish I wondered at the time. I think it would be beneficial also if I could just pause and think "how did I get here again?" What decisions did i make to get to where I am and how can i get to where I really want to be.

The real question I shall pose this year then is not "i wonder where i shall be this time next year"
It will be "Where do i want to be this time next year and how am i going to do my very hardest to get there?"

ok enough ramberling i have now answer my question, i have to admit though i don't think it wil be half as fun as dreaming about the future.

The only thing I can think to do really is not really talk to her which poses its own problems. I just find my relationship is fraught with her.

But seriously not to be bad but i think she finds most human relationships difficult so why should i be the exception?

Anyway is what i am doing for only a little while so bad?

I don't know man i am very confused and everything about her makes me feel like running away and hiding.

Life is complex no one said it was going to be easy did they?

John emailed me today said he wants to see my updated CV as Sabine wants to send it off somewhere...

neway i jst hope by half ten inshallah i have done everything....

I do miss eating I have to say, its something u dnt really think about wen its' not Ramadan. Its kool though.AG is coming back A said he is driving everyone crazy asking for money. Gosh some men r wierd or tactless or shameless maybe all three. Neway e is due back next week which is fantastic.

Neway I have to rush. Mark told me the research ppl have not been interviewed yet...now i am wondering if that means if that means they have not advertised the vacancies...i dnt know.

What r the chances of me getting the research positin anyway?

Do I really want it?
Well i need a job dats for sure.

even though a period at home would be loads of fun....
neway ova and out

Comments

i have decided the way to be at relaxed and generally at peace is to be nice to ppl. not superficially nice but genuinely nice and caring. It was called to my attention that i am quite hostile at times. When I am annoyed or anyhow distressed i am quite hostile and dismissive of ppl.

i just find ppl threatening at times. I want to distance them for whateva reason and i can do this by jst genrally blanking dem. Esp to family gosh i am awful.

And it doesn't a great deal to upset me, if someone says something nasty to me, i won't retort i will just keep quite as i am usually so bruised i cnt think of anything to say. Den i will jst blank that person for ages, not obviously but enough to let them know that they get on my nerves!!!

neway let me pray Marky Mark is here so i can tell him about my computer worries.

cheerio.

Monday was fab, Tues was ordinary Wed will be Marvellous inshallah.

Over an OUT

just the facts as someone said.
going away. Need something to wear. Hay i can touch type its amazing don't have to look down once, even though i make so many mistakes its worth it. Need to get back in contact wid jc let dem look for me. Hmmmmm I dnt nowhere where will i be on the eighth of Nov?

go next week to the place. Should have gone to day but was a bit bc.

Neway go in search of something to wear a bit later on. Man graciously gave me my money back once I admitted the skirt was too small. Size 10. Wow that is small. 12 is too loose, 10 is impossible. Where is 11?
I bet it was a man who decided clothes should go two sizes up. It just is not logical. Now i am going to draw strengh from all da ppl I know that have been in similar situations or worse and have been strong. Gosh its not that bad.

It really isn't. As I said before life is essentially good and this is for only 8 weeks of my life actually I have done 3 and after this week I am going to get paid. CHEER UP LUV.

its so much easier to be moany and depressed than it is to be cheerful I wonder why?

I have decided to give up tea and I have and I am going to decide to be cheerful whateva happens and keep to it. If I cant be the happiest person in the world then i will not tell myself that i have bad luck because I don't.

in short DONT BLOODY FEEL SORRY FOR URSELF HOW FAR WILL THAT GET U?

ok no more self pity its quite pathetic.

Neway my arm is hurting.
"Good morning, and if I don't see u good afternoon and good night."

It does not help that three of my friends who also came on placement wid me have so much work to do and their line managers are so cheery and chatty and one most prob will be kept on.

Strange ole world neva know how things will develop.

I am in a dilemma now, do I go to the placement officer and say I have been doing data input since I came(three weeks ago) or do I jst stay put an do my data entry howeva soul destroying it is?

Anyhow I have decided to be more chatty, I think dat gets on my line managers nerves.

Maybe i should chat to her, but she is cold.

what should i do?
what would u do baring in mind u have a meagre hope dey mite offer u a temp job.

I just don't know.

Comments

my line manager has suddenly become very chilly dnt ask me why...
everyone else is jst so important and busy...

i have thought about leaving because what am i doing here?
i am inputting things into the computer dat is it...going to meetings where I dont say anything..another girl was here an she hated it too.

I guess it would be ok if my manager was nice but its all superficial...i dnt know really its hard being on placement. its hard being the odd one out its hard having nothing to do its even harder asking for something to do from someone that doesn't really like u.

gosh i hate moaning its so impassive i really hope one day i can look back at this an think hay that was a testing tym but i got thru it. Iam here i made it.

I dont want to leave because that will leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth.Maybe i can say I got a job no i have to stay i gotta jst keep going keep going.

fasting also. Maybe i should let John no.

gosh i jst dnt know what to do. silence. This afternoon I am jst gonna ask her is der anything else I can do?

9-5 is exhausting...but its doable.

I guess if every1 around you is doing something it makes it easy to accept as normal or even rational. Though I am not entirely convinced yet.

Our boss works from 7:30 til 9.

Now that is crazy.

what is strange is that he is such a pleasant, funny person.

His little motto is

"Iam always right, even when Iam wrong I know Iam wrong and that makes me right"

Hmmm.

I start my 9-5 position on Tuesday. I wanted to go to the doctors I realised but when?

When does one do anything if the vast majority of their day is spent occupied with work?

Its like having a pie, a huge pie an someone takes away the middle an leaves the crusts for you to dispose of how you wish.

Well thx very much. Jst eat my day ryt up.

Imagine those ppl who really hate their job. It doesn't bare thinking about.

My mon says a man's house can either be an paradise for him or it can be like living in hell.

Well if we spend more time at work then we do at home, i would personally be more worried about my happiness at work than in the house.

Who is it that disctated such unforgiving hours anyway?

Is it any wonder that so many ppl become depressed,become sick or simply leave work altogether.

I guess I will only know what that length of time actually is on Tuesday.

As of yet I am still FREE an loving evry second of it.

Cheerio.

I wonder if anyone will ever read these words?
Does it really matter?
I just want somewhere I can underload my mind, somewhere in cyber space that won't catch up with you in an embarrassing episode. Yes, I've tried the diary under the the mattress, it really is a method designed to fail.
Anyway Iam going 2 c how this thing works.
more 2mrw godwillingly.

Is it a coincidence that my 1st post is on Independence Day?
